“Hallie took great care of Winston. She was very flexible and friendly. Winston was also able to socialize with her friendly dog. Hallie provided frequent updates and photos. We will definitely ask for her assistance again in the future!”
“Songen did a great job taking care of Sundae while I went on a trip. She provided multiple updates every day and provided plenty of photos and videos. She made me feel so comfortable and that Sundae was in great hands.”
“I had a great experience with Rachel! She took care of my baby for a full week and did a wonderful job. I received daily updates/pictures/videos and she was prompt with all communication. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Andrea was consistently communicative throughout my dog’s stay - I felt comfortable going out of town because she kept my dog safe and happy! Not only did Andrea accept my last minute boarding request but she made sure to clarify any questions to ensure that my dog was well taken care of. I would book her again!”
“Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.”
“This was my first time leaving my 11yr old dogs at a sitter's home so I was very nervous. I really appreciated how calm Fred is and that he listened to all my notes about them. My dogs instantly liked him and seemed at home. He was great with sending updates and pictures and was incredibly understanding when my flight back was delayed. Would absolutely book again!”
“As always, Christina is fantastic. She always sends updates and we feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. Definitely recommend her to anyone with pets!”
“This is the second time Eric and Eunjin took care of Mr. Bean. They get along so well and we are completely comfortable with them to watch Bean anytime. They took marvelous photos and spent much time playing with him and getting him plenty of exercise. He didn't gain a pound! Highly recommend them!”
“Such a great sitter. She provides amazing daily updates that truly put your mind at ease. You can see how much care and attention she puts into every visit, always making sure the dogs are happy, healthy, and well loved. It’s clear she takes the time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs, which makes all the difference. Her dedication and genuine love for the animals really shine through in everything she does.”

“Teresa is a wonderful pet sitter. She asked questions about Annie’s daily routine and needs to ensure it would be a great stay for her. The daily photos and updates made it easier to be away. My little senior pup was given her meds which kept her happy and with a pep in her step. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking Teresa again.”

Near South Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
Diana is incredible!! The best Rover I have ever used, hands down! She took incredible care of Hank. I received so many photos and videos of him on walks, at the dog park, and getting cuddles! She was incredibly flexible and generous with extending the pick-up time, and I could not have been more appreciative. The best Rover in Chicago!!!
Andrea took great care of my dog for 5 days and I had a really positive experience. Communication was great the whole time, she was very sweet, and my dog seemed like she had a great time with her. She was also super thoughtful and flexible, she even offered to do drop-off for me, which I really appreciated. She also noticed my dog was running low on food and reached out right away to ask if it was okay to ration it, which I appreciated because it showed she was paying close attention and wanted to make sure everything was handled properly. I would definitely book with her again!
Highly, highly recommend Sofia! Took amazing care of our Reese, protecting her as she was scared of some storms and then got her outside for plenty of exercise and fetching. She also sent cute pics and a complete update every day. Reese will definitely visit again.
Michael did an amazing job caring for our two French Bulldogs over a long weekend! His communication was excellent-he kept us updated with regular photos, which we really appreciated. He also took them on walks (their favorite!), and they were clearly well cared for. Highly recommend!
We were nervous nellies about finding someone to watch our 2 dogs during a 7-day international trip and couldn’t be more grateful that we found Nikki and Prat. They were phenomenal. During the meet and greet they asked a ton of questions to make sure the dogs would be safe, happy, and comfortable, clearly showing their experience with longer term boarding. Nikki and Prat were so good about sending us updates so we never had to worry, which was especially appreciated as we were so far away for so long. One of our dogs tends to be anxious, especially during thunderstorms, and they followed our care instructions to a T and took such great care of her. When we picked them up, the dogs were happy to see us but didn’t give the usual “omg thank goodness you’re back” frantic energy that they usually do when we pick them up from our family’s house or daycare- I think they would’ve been perfectly content to stay with Nikki and Prat lol. Can’t recommend them enough, thank you so much for taking such good care of our babies!!
