“Ania is amazing! She’s checked in with pix and videos daily. My pup came home so happy and content. I’ll definitely be checking her schedule the next time I need a sitter. 10/10 ☺️”
“This was our first time using Rover, and she made the experience so easy and stress-free. She watched our dachshund puppy, Winnie, and was incredibly responsive throughout the stay. We really appreciated the updates and pictures she sent so we always knew how Winnie was doing. She was truly a lifesaver, and we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our puppy. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“My high energy pup has been in a deep slumber ever since we got home, which tells me she had a blast. And Katrina made me a magnet with the cutest picture of Luna, I love it so much. Thank you!! Truly the best. 😁”
“Ashley is AMAZING with our dog Rue! She sends such sweet photos and updates, she’s flexible and responsive - we always know Rue is in great hands when we’re out of town.”
“Bronx (and I!) love Ann! She always takes great care of him and loves him like her own. Always super attentive and sends the cutest pictures. Thank you!!”
“Crystal (Songen) is very professional and reliable. We received pictures, videos and updates throughout the visit of lots of playtime and cuddles which we very much appreciated!”
“Cheyanne was amazing. She had great communication and my dog can be timid and not eat much at dog sitters but she didn't have that problem with her. Best sitter! Thank you”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“Ann-Marie took great care of my fur baby while I was out of town. She sent pictures throughout the stay, maintained communication, and was flexible when we pushed our return to a later time. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to hiring her again in the future.”
“Outstanding host for our two fur babies! Anytime we find a sitter as caring and keen to detail as Mia was to our dogs, we cling on! She’s reliable and she goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are comfortable and well taken care of. This was a last minute booking because their other sitter was unavailable, however, we feel so lucky to have found her, she adores our dogs and it shows in the interaction between them through the daily photos. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Andrea did a great job watching my dog for the weeks my dog is a rescue and can sometimes be a bit anxious. He did wonderful in Andrea’s home. I would definitely feel comfortable using Andrea in the future.”
“Jenna is absolutely the best with my pups, as always. They’re usually excited to see me, but whenever I pick them up from Jenna’s, I can tell they almost wish they had a few more days with her! I couldn’t ask for a better host.”
“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.”
“Elizabeth and her loving family took great care of my puppy and my cat! I am totally relaxed during my travel to know that my pets were in good hands! Besides, my pets got to socialize with others so it is absolutely way better than leaving them at a boarding facility!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“I had a great experience with Sara. She communicated well and was really easy going. She sent pictures and videos. And our dog Boomer seemed to have a great time! I would happily book again!”
“Nathan was amazing! I was sorry worried about leaving Ollie bear for the first time but he was so responsive and sent tons of pictures! I felt so good knowing Ollie was so well taken care of.”
“Julia has been wonderful with our dog Clare. Clare seems to have a great time and we appreciate all the pictures and updates! We’ve worked with Julia twice now and will definitely be sending Clare back. Thank you!”
“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.”
Near South Side dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had a great experience and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in Fareed’s care while I was on vacation. He did an excellent job, provided regular updates with messages and photos, and made sure I always knew how my dog was doing. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, happy, and getting lots of attention. I really appreciated the communication and peace of mind he provided. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend.
Jenna was a great dog sitter to work with! She was able to accommodate my request for dog sitting and a meet & greet less than a week before my work trip. She took such great care of Olive and provided updates throughout Olive’s stay. I will definitely rebook in the future!
