“This was our first time using Rover and we are so happy we found Shelby. She was very responsive and sent us updates with pictures of our pup. I would love to have her watch our dog again. Thanks Shelby!”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”

“Katrina is seriously the best!!! Truffles boarded with her over the weekend and she had the best time, cuddling and walking and playing. Katrina sent over multiple (adorably edited and captioned) pictures and videos throughout the day, complete with an end of day report card. I was totally at ease knowing Truffles was getting the best care :)”

“Our Bernie loved staying with Joe. He understands dogs through and through, and maybe even more important, he understands and appreciates the quirks and idiosyncrasies of particular dogs. He kept us well informed and accommodated our schedule. Bernie would go back in a heartbeat, I’m sure, and we would be happy knowing she was in good hands.”

“Fred was communicative. Loved how he sent pictures of my little doggy looking relaxed and playful. He gave updates on how my dog was doing and I felt secure that Fred was with him and spending time.”

“I had a great experience with Scott as always. He took wonderful care of Bambi and kept me updated throughout the stay. It was clear Bambi was comfortable, happy, and well cared for.”

“Katie was great! Chloe seemed like she had a fun time with her. Katie sent lots of pictures! We also were really grateful for how accommodating Katie was - our flight was delayed and she was so nice about us having to switch around pickup plans.”

“As always, Alex took phenomenal care of our pups! Can’t recommend her services enough. Friendly, reliable, always accessible and in communication, can’t ask for better service!”


“Here it is: --- We couldn't recommend Iwona more highly! Our standard poodle stayed with her for 11 days, and it was clear from the moment we picked her up that she'd been so well cared for. She came home healthy, happy, and completely at ease — the best outcome we could ask for. Iwona kept us in the loop throughout the stay with regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Nathan was AMAZING!! I truly can’t thank him enough for taking such good care of our dog! We had to leave our 6 month old puppy for a few days, and we were so anxious about finding the right person to watch her. We could not have found a better option! Nathan was super responsive, patient, and treated our dog like she was his own! We will definitely be repeat customers!”

“Stephanie was great was my dog Jackson - he stayed with her for two weeks and I received daily updates and tons of pictures. He loved her dog Baylen and came home exhausted- he clearly had a fun time. Stephanie was even flexible in taking him a night earlier than expected due to a snow storm. Overall very pleased and look forward to using her in the future. Thanks Steph and Baylen!”

“Rocco was so excited to see and stay w Sam again! He’s the best and I always feel very confident my dog is in good hands. Sam’s very communicative and sends pics every day too :) definitely recommend”

“We were very comfortable leaving our two dogs with Stephanie and her family for two weeks while we were out of the country. They sent us many funny pictures while we were gone, and I’m confident they got a lot of love and attention! Stephanie was great with communication and flexible.”

“Jenna was great with our puppy. She was so welcoming and sent us pictures of Koda our entire trip. I would highly recommend Jenna to anyone needing puppy sitting:)”

“We booked Katie for the first time, and could not be happier. We could tell she’s very caring and responsible. Great communication and regular updates & photos made sure we had no worries. Would definitely book Katie again!”

“Blaire took great care of our dog while we were away! She asked all the right questions before we left and gave us frequent updates on how they were doing. I’d recommend her for anyone’s dog.”


“Steven was very communicative during pickup and drop off. He shared regular updates and photos of Polo that put us in peace of mind. Polo had a very nice and comfy stay with Steven. And I’d recommend Steven to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter in the area.”


“Teddy is our 150lb Bullmastiff and EK and her family welcomed him like the rest of the tiny tots that are looked after daily. She is trustworthy and reliable. We hadn't been on a real vacation in 2yrs we had no issues or worries while gone.”

“Audrey is the best! She sent us multiple photos and videos each day and it was clear that Pickles had such a great time with her. If she’s available, book her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Near South Side
Dana and her boyfriend were absolutely wonderful with Peanut while we were out of town for a week! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Dana sent us pictures or videos every single day, which we really appreciated, and it was obvious from the photos and videos that Peanut was happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup was the best reassurance we could have asked for. We’re so grateful to both of them and would absolutely trust Dana to watch Peanut again. Highly recommend!

Charlotte was AMAZING! We couldn't have asked for better experience. Our pup was getting the best care and affection the entire stay, and the daily updates with adorable photos made being away so much easier. Knowing she was well cared for gave us so much peace of mind!
