“Ruben did a really wonderful job taking care of our pup. He was very communicative, kind, and had some other dogs around to keep our guy company. I feel that our dog was very well cared for and enjoyed his time with Ruben and the crew. At the end of the stay we unexpectedly needed to have our dog dropped off at a nearby relatives house and Ruben handled it no problem. Would definitely book again!”

North Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jniyah was kind to Mabel and communicated with me throughout Mabel’s stay with pictures and videos. Mabel came home happy and sleepy from her fun visit!

Ekaterina took great care of our dog Ripley and sent regular updates with photos and videos. Ripley even seemed a little sad to say goodbye when we picked her up! 5/5 recommend this sitter!

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.

My dog is like my child and she takes very good care of him she send me pictures and videos I don’t even have to ask I never worry with her. Her house is very clean she has a yard for him to run in I won’t use anyone else.

Angelina was great— she kept me updated everyday on Winter. He felt safe and comfortable just like he was at home. Will definitely call her next time.

Emily took wonderful care of our pup and he had some adorable playmates as well. Will definitely book again.

We booked Tanqueray on short notice for a last minute trip, and she was excellent. Tanqueray was accommodating, a good communicator and took great care of our pooch. Thanks also to her cool dog Sir.

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!!

Our pup Amidala had the best time with Marissa! With plenty of walks, play time, and pictures of her having fun, we knew Ami really enjoyed her stay. Communication and everything else was so great, we would have enjoyed more daycare days if we were staying in the area! Highly recommended!

Jenny took amazing care of our cat. Gracie (cat) had never been boarded before.. Jenny was incredibly patient knowing Gracie would be anxious and shy and knew we would prob be worried to. She sent us so many photos, was so gentle and accommodated.Gracie's routine and learned her habits quickly. We feel lucky to have found such a kind and empathetic pet sitter in Jenny and would use her again should the need arise.

Jennifer did a wonderful job. Biggie was clearly happy in her home. She sent me pictures regularly and had his things ready for me when I picked him up. I’d recommend her to anyone.

Another amazing stay with Gloria and Fabio. They care for our dog like he was their own and it’s the best feeling leaving our dog in their care. I can’t recommend them enough!

Our three dogs always seem to enjoy being with Ariel. I think she’s a bit of a dog whisperer - I’m impressed how calm they are with her. I also appreciate when she sends us pictures.

Coren was great with Piper. He asked lots of questions during the meet and greet to make sure he understood Piper's needs. When I picked up Piper from her stay, she seemed in great spirits. I feel like Coren treated Piper like his own. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

My doggie was so happy and I was so pleased and comfortable with the choice I made with booking with Malik I advice everybody to bring there dog to him. I hope in the future he could watch my doggie again I’m so thankful I wish I could give him 10 stars.

Kelly was wonderful with our dog and provided many extra walks (despite the high heat days) and lots of photos sent to us. Her dog was a great companion for our dog. I highly recommend Kelly!

Thorough and efficient, friendly, and a good communicator. I will request Aaron's help next time I need it.
