“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jenny was great with our Hazel girl! She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures while we were gone. She was very thorough with care instructions, so we knew our girl was being well cared for!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”
“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!!!!”
“Andrew was great from the get go. He was super responsive and flexible for drop off and pick up. He really enjoyed having Bailey around and Bailey did as well. Would definitely use him again when I need a sitter.”
“Andrea was my first sitter on Rover. It couldn't be better. After meeting her and her family I went very calmly on my vacation. Athena would stay with her again without a doubt.”
“My dog Quigley had an amazing weekend with Diana and Scott. They took him to lots of fun places and we’re sure to update me every day! They were very professional and I look forward to using them for my pet care needs in the future!”
“Sue is awesome!! We’ve left our pups with her a couple times now for vacation and they’ve had a blast playing with her two dogs and other friends! She’s great with our pup, Jax, who is on seizure meds and cannot miss a dose. Sue is super attentive, communicative, and sends great photos. We love her and our pups do too!”
“Penny looks like she had a nice time staying with Adam and we would use his services again (if he's available). He provided updates when requested and was transparent about an altercation Penny had with another dog (who surprised her). I recommend Adam as a sitter!”
“Alma was amazing with Luka! She was so kind, even when Luka had an accident in her kitchen, and kept me updated with photos and videos. Luka came back happy and relaxed. Highly recommend her for loving and reliable care!”
“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.”
