“Bola came through for me last minute and took great care of Bea!! She sent me picture updates and communicated well throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again with her.”



“Liz and her family are ideal pet sitters. My bulldog Daffodil became comfortable quickly and is not eager to leave their home at the end of the day due to the abundant personal attention she receives. Great indoor and outdoor space. Consistent updates and photos. I think Daffodil has found a 2nd family, a home away from home, if you will.”

“Katrina was excellent! She made my first Rover experience with my pup a breeze. She is incredibly responsive and is punctual. She walked me through everything to expect and she even helped me set up a day stay as a introduction for my pup before her longer 5 night stay. I felt that my dog was well cared for and was receiving so much attention and love from Katrina! I got many updates and cute photos through the day which made me feel at ease while at work. She even gave me a little souvenir photo of my pup at the end of the stay. She is also very professional and transparent about every aspect of the stay. I give her my highest recommendation and will definitely be a repeat client!”


“Ashley takes great care of our puppy. Her kids give ample play time to entertain our puppy, and Ashley walks and feeds her well. She also is quick to respond to queries. Our puppy gets excited whenever coming to Ashley’s place.”


“I was looking for daycare for my dog and am happy to have found Tamara! She’s great with communication and has been flexible which has been very helpful. And my dogs tail is always wagging when we walk up.”


About: I grew up with family dogs and have had mine since he was 8 weeks old (he will be 16 years old this August!). Experience with puppies through senior dogs. Large breeds and small! Would love to take care of yours. I work full time from home, so I have ample amount of time to hang out with your pups (no matter the age, dogs are forever pups in my eyes!). I have an almost 16 year old pup who naps most of the day but is always excited for his walks! I live in a low traffic area and just down the street from a fenced grass area we play in. In case there’s rain, I have a covered area to take the pups out so they still get some fresh air.


“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”



“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”


About: I've been taking care of pets since the I was 12. My family and I have had one english bulldog. Currently we have two french bulldogs, so I understand the importance of the care of bulldogs as well as Chihuahuas! I have always been the go to person to care for and groom our pets. I'm currently in college full time. However, it is online so I have a lot of time to play, walk, and give love to your pets! I have a fenced yard as well as two dogs to play with your pets. I also have one cat. I live close to the Mckinley Park area so there will be a lot of walks.

“Nothing but praise with Traci! She’s the best there is! I read a few reviews of Traci and decided to book with her. Best decision I’ve ever made! She’s watched my pup multiple times now. She kept me to date throughout the day with so many photos and videos of my pup. It made me feel at ease while I was at work. The fact that she has kids and a few dogs made me feel very comfortable knowing that my pup needed socialization. Traci knows what she’s doing around dogs and you can see her passion! Can’t wait for Zara to go back :)”


“Emily is amazing, she took care of my baby like it was her own. Snoopy always excited as soon as he saw we pulled up to her house and I can tell he felt safe and was happy to be spending the day with her. I will definitely bring him back.”

K9 UniversityLocal facility
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

Lisette S.Star Sitter
“I hired Lisette to walk and care for my 6 year old golden retriever/pit bull mix rescue dog Lucy whenever I would go out of town for business. Lisette is the daughter of my co-worker, the first time she met my best friend Lucy, Lucy was a bit standoffish due to her being uneasy around strangers. After a few hours Lucy loved Lisette and felt comfortable around her. Lisette would care for Lucy for 2 weeks every month while I was away, she would send me daily pictures of their walks or when they were just hanging out. Sometimes Lucy wouldn't want to leave Lisette's apartment. Although I don't travel as much I still employ Lisette to walk Lucy just so that Lucy can see her good friend Lisette. I definitely recommend Lisette to care for your 4 legged friends. Lisette would also watch over my 3 year old cat Benito. Although Benito does not need much maintenance Lisette always makes time to play with him and ensures he eats his food. Lisette also recommended for me to add water to his wet food to ensure he drinks more water for health reasons. I cannot recommend Lisette enough, she is good at what she does, I have also recommended her to other friends who do not have time to walk tbeir 4 legged friends.”

“Caitlin has been my trusted cat sitter for Paulette for the past 5 years and I couldn’t ask for anyone better. During this time, our cats have become besties, which gives me peace of mind knowing Paulette has a sweet friend to hang out with while I’m away. Caitlin sends me cute pics throughout the day that always make me pause in my tracks and smile. Whenever I pick up Paulette, she’s just happy as a clam, relaxed as if I never left, and super well-groomed thanks to the extra care and brushing Caitlin provides 😸💈”

New City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nicole was incredible. She asked so many questions prior to me dropping off Sundae to ensure that Sundae was taken care of. Throughout the time Sundae was with Nicole she continued to send me pictures of my puppy and provide updates so that I knew she was okay.
