“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few days and needless to say we were only a little tightly wound about it. But Shirley made us feel like we could breathe on our travels and actually be present in the moments. Not only did she keep him loved and cared for, but she was the ultimate documentarian, showering us with plenty of pics and videos to never feel left out. I would highly recommend Shirley for any pet care taking needs, and would love to have her watch Kaito again.”
“Angel was such a great dog-sitter. He sent us a lot of pictures of our pup and was good about checking in, accommodating with drop-off/pickup, etc. We'll definitely be calling on him again!”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Michelle and family took great care of Penny- even coming up with new tasty food items for my picky girl. I really appreciate how well she is taken care of which allows me to have peace of mind while away”
“Rae was amazing! She has a pup as well and Duke got along with him well. Rae even met me halfway to drop Duke off. And when I picked him up, she sent him home with some toys that she had that he enjoyed playing with. 10/10!!!!”
“Jenny was great! My pup loved her and she was so responsive and provided me with tons of updates which made me feel very comfortable. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Angelica is amazing leaving our 2 fur babies is never easy, but our 8 year old Morkie had never been anywhere else besides grandmas and she did amazing job with our boy. With our Goldendoodle he had a blast! Angelica is caring and thoughtful. I would recommend to all my friends and family members. Thank you for what you do!”
“This is the second time that I have used the services and so far so good. After Milo returned home, he didn't act unusual or draw any type of suspicion, which made me feel that he was very happy with his caregiver.”
“Thank you so much, Malchom and family, for taking such great care of Atlas! We booked last minute, and Malchom was incredibly accommodating. We’re so grateful to have found a sitter close to home who is communicative, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Atlas was in great hands!”
“Dezmond was great, he made sure to provide frequent updates/pictures and was flexible with scheduling. Appa was excited for his visit and enjoyed his stay with Dezmond. We will definitely come back.”
“Angelina went above and beyond caring for our Butterscotch. Excellent communication and multiple pictures sent every day. She even noticed his itchy skin issue and offered to recommend homeopathic remedies. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Lorraine is the best! She went above and beyond what I could have ever expected a sitter to do for my dog, Eazy. Eazy doesn't get along well with other dogs and Lorraine offered to drive out to the South Loop to pickup / drop off so that there were no encounters with other dogs. And it was even better that Eazy loved her home / yard so much so that I had a hard time getting her to come home! This was our second stay with Lorraine and I'm sure it won't be the last.”
“Karen was fantastic with our sweet but quirky cattle dog, Rosie! We were able to enjoy a 10-day vacation because we knew she was well taken care of. We received photos and updates each day and Rosie seemed reluctant to leave her new friend. Highly recommended Karen!”
“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Katherine and her beautiful family! Oliver seemed quite at home there. We typically have angst when leaving Oliver with the big doggie daycare chains, especially for several days. A home environment where there are people who care, interact, play and walk our pup puts us much more at ease.”

North Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Angelina was amazing with our senior dog! She watched our dog for four days while we took a quick vacation and Angelina sent fantastic photos throughout the trip. She gave her belly rubs and comforted her through thunderstorms. It was such a relief knowing our dog was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. I will definitely be reaching out to Angelina again for our next vacation!
We had a wonderful experience with Karen. She was so loving and caring, making us feel comfortable leaving our dog Luna in her hands. We especially appreciated the daily photos and updates she sent, which brought us comfort. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Alex to the rescue! She was available for a last minute booking and I’m so grateful! Jhase was so happy to see her and even got excited as we got close to her house - he remembered where she lived haha! He nearly jumped out of my arms with excitement when he saw her. Safe to say she’s amazing
So grateful for Tamara (and Maggie 🐾) giving Wiggles such a warm welcome, loving home, super fun runs around the glorious backyard, love and pets that Wiggles craves. Wiggles is a sweet but nervous girl, and I’m grateful to have a loving home nearby for when we have to go out of town without her. Tamara was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in how to make sure Wiggles had everything she needed for a wonderful week. 💖
Mary watched my 2 retrievers for 5 days and nights in her home. They had met at a meet n greet. When we arrived to drop them off, they were so happy to see her. She had plenty of dog toys in addition to those we brought. She took them for walks and had a nice big yard for them to ride around in. Mary updated me with pics and notes daily. When I picked the pups up, they were happy and healthy. We will definitely seek her out for future dog-sitting needs.
Jena is great with Zeke on normal walks, and this was their first long weekend together. She takes fantastic care of him and kept him busy. He even got to meet a new doggie friend! She gave me great updates and was even really flexible when our plans were delayed. Definitely would recommend her to care for your furry loved one!!
