“Thea we can’t thank you enough for taking such good care of Lando!! We received very thorough updates each day with lots of pictures. Lando loved hanging out on the patio and got to go on plenty of walks while in Thea’s care. She successfully administered antibiotics and helped him adjust to his stay. 10/10 would book with Thea again :)”
“I really can not say enough wonderful things about Joe! He cared for our dog like he was his own and honestly our dog came back better trained then when we dropped him off! We had no worries about leaving our dog in his very capable and kind hands!”
“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Cindy & her family were absolutely amazing with my pup. I am really cautious about leaving my girl behind, but Cindy made me feel at ease immediately. I received many sweet photos and updates. Highly recommend!!!”
“Svitlana took a great care of my tiny feather baby. She did everything per instructions including medications. She sent me a picture or video every day. My dog returned to me happy and healthy.”
“Joerg took such great care of our girl. She was worn out by the time we got home, but it was clear she had a great time. There was plenty of care and communication to let us know she was in great hands.”
“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Amanda took fantastic care of our pup Archie. She provided daily updates, lots of snuggles, and worked with us when we had to unexpectedly extend our booking. I hope to use Amanda for dog sitting again in the future.”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“Diane was amazing. I have two small Maltese dogs with separation anxiety, so I was very nervous about leaving them. From the moment we met, she made me feel at ease. She welcomed them into her home and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and confident. It was a wonderful experience, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I’m already booking with her again for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sammie. Sammie is very shy and can take time to warm up to new people, but Julia was so patient, understanding, and gentle with her. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos where I could easily see how comfortable and happy Sammie was in her care. It’s clear Julia truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would trust her to watch Sammie again in a heartbeat!”
“The guys took great care of Louie during his stay. He had so much fun playing with the other dogs and even got a fun trip to the park—I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up!”
“I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“He provided multiple updates and pictures. My dog was not only super excited to meet him, but looked happy and well taken care of in the pictures I got. I trust my dog was in great hands, and I'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Debbie took perfect care of my pup while I was gone for a week! She took her on walks, to the beach, and sent me pictures and videos to keep me updated! I would definitely recommend and book her again in the future.”
“Alexis has fantastic reviews and for good reason. She was accommodating and professional. The dogs loved her and she even helped us out in a jam by picking our dogs up for us. I can’t wait to utilize her services again when we are in town next.”
“Brook and her family are really wonderful and took great care of our dog Luna with great updates and communication. I would highly recommend them for future services. Their backyard is a dog’s paradise and they did a great job with the meet and greet with our dog and their resident dog. I’m so grateful we connected with them and plan to rebook in the future.”
“We are so grateful we found Eric to watch our dog Sammy! He was so great at sending pictures and updates, it made us feel so much better about being away and Sammy had so much fun playing with Harvey!! We will definitely be reaching out to Eric in the future”
“Ruth was very attentive to Indy and groomed her while doing the same for another dog. She was responsive when I reached out to see how Indy was doing, and I will bring Indy back for future trips.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northbrook
I’m writing to share how fantastic Livia and Matt were while I was out of town. Two of my three dogs stayed at their home, and from the very beginning they made me feel incredibly comfortable and completely at ease. There is absolutely no such thing as too many pictures when it comes to my dogs, and Livia and Matt were amazing about constantly sending updates, photos, and letting me know how my babies were doing. It made being away from them so much easier. I honestly hate going out of town because I hate leaving my dogs, but knowing that Livia and Matt are there to take such great care of them makes the entire process so much less stressful. I felt completely confident that they were safe, happy, and being treated like family. I will absolutely use Livia and Matt again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and attentive people to watch their dogs.
Colleen was fantastic - took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and was great with communication and flexibility. We received regular updates with cute photos, and Colleen’s house is so well-equipped and dog-friendly with toys, beds, bowls, etc that we barely had to pack anything but food and leashes. Our dogs loved playing with her pups Teddy and Polly and came home smiling. They would love to come back!
Svetlana and her family took great care of my dog with medical needs. She followed my instructions by ensuring that medication/needs were given at specific times. She gave my dog plenty of attention throughout his stay and reassured me with important updates. This is the second time we've used Svetlana, and my dog ran right up to the house at drop-off--a sign of a trusted sitter! Highly recommended.
This was our first time leaving Lula with a Rover host rather than in a kennel and we were a bit nervous, but Abby immediately eased are worries with detailed updates and great photos. Abby even put Lula's suspender boots on for the walks. When it is very wet outside, Lula becomes filthy and the boots help keep her clean. Even though Lula tolerates putting the boots in, it's never an easy feat with an 80lb dog, so we were very pleased when Abby showed up a happy (dry/clean) Lula with boots on for her walks. We would 100% book with Abby again!
