“Corey and Robert were great for daycare. They were super easy to communicate with and sent photo updates throughout the day of our dog. When we came to pick her up she was passed out on the couch from a day of playing with the other dogs and Corey and Robert. They were accommodating for a later than usual daycare pickup as well. Will definitely be using them again!”

“Doug and Debbie were incredible hosts for our dog, Stella, while our family was away for a week. Stella can be slow to warm up to new people, but thanks to their gentle care, she quickly felt at ease. We had a few unexpected flight cancellations, which required Stella to stay an extra day, and Doug and Debbie happily accommodated her without any issues. We're so grateful that Stella had a safe, loving place to stay, and she especially loved their beautiful backyard patio. Will definitely be re-booking for any other family vacation!”

“Jonathon took the time to make Kenya feel comfortable. He followed my instructions and went out of his way to make things work. The only thing I would like more is additional information about walks and how he’s doing on eating, etc. I will use Jonathon again and trust him with my dog - that’s the most important thing.”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care my dog, Comet, received from Elva. Comet was suffering from digestive issues when we left him with Elva. Elva cooked Comet a special bland diet to help him with his stomach problems. When we picked Comet up from Elva's home, he was feeling much, much better. I was so very impressed with the sensitivity and compassion that Elva showed to our fur baby. Elva gave regular updates on Comet which gave me peace of mind. I also received wonderful pictures of Comet daily. When we have the opportunity to travel again, I would most definitely book with Elva. I highly recommend Elva as a pet sitter. She was simply the best!”
“Penny had an excellent time with Rob and I will definitely book him again!! He sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was gone, which I appreciated.

“Christin kept us up to date on Scout’s happenings and sent daily pictures/videos. Scout made a new friend with the their dog as well. Great communication and put us at ease while we were away.”
“Eric is amazing!! Our dog is a BIG girl—she’s strong, she pulls, and she has TONS of energy. Eric did do great with her. Sophie came home happy and excited. We’d definitely book Eric again…just maybe after we brush her super well.”
“Merrick was great for my pup and i. We were able to drop her off after a single meet and greet for a couple of weeks and based on daily pics and vids, she had a great time. She was taken care of, had another pup to play out in the backyard with as well as play tug of war. I will definitely book with Merrick again!”

“This was the first time used Rover in many years, and first time with my current pup Gibby. I was a bit nervous leaving him with people we'd just met but my worry was wasted. Rizwan, Noor and their family took great care of my pup. He was walked multiple times a day, was showered with pets and was able to monitor their neighborhood from a perfect viewing spot. They kindly welcomed him (us) into their home for a very comfortable stay. Thank you Noor and Rizwan for taking such good care of Gibby.”

Norwood Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
You cannot ask for better people to watch your precious fur baby than Laura and Vladimir. First of all they are lovely people with a beautiful home that is very pet friendly. They took incredible care of my puppy and thoroughly enjoyed him. I was able to go on vacation knowing my puppy was in great care. I can’t recommend them enough and will keep using them whenever they’ll have him!!! I’d give 20 stars if I could.
We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!
This was Daisy’s first stay with Joe but it won’t be her last! Joe clearly loves dogs and that gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the photos and videos he shared with us. It was great to see Daisy enjoying herself with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe.
Brian was a great sitter for Juno! His communication was excellent throughout, and he followed all of my care instructions. I especially appreciated receiving daily photo updates. I would definitely book with Brian again and recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Both of our dogs absolutely adored their time with Jackie and her family, our pups miss them already. Every day we received plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were being loved, spoiled with attention, and enjoying lots of playtime. They came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun. We’re so grateful for the incredible care and will definitely be booking again!
Our pup, Storie, absolutely loved her stay with Stephanie and felt right at home. She was so loved and spoiled while we were away and we received really great pictures and videos along the way. Our flight got delayed and she was very accommodating. We really hope Storie gets to see Stephanie and her family again!
