“Stefan was the perfect match for our older Lab. He was so kind and attentive that I felt at ease leaving her in his care. Additionally, he kept in touch the whole week and sent pics which made me happy. Lastly, our home was I clean and orderly as if we were only gone 5 minutes! Stefan is such an amazing guy we feel lucky to have found him.”
“Katherine was great with my dog! My dog has separation anxiety and she enjoyed her time while Katherine looked after her :) She came by in advance to meet my dog, which was greatly appreciated.”
“Evelyn is a top-tier sitter. Great communication (lots of photos, keep me apprised of the goings on while I was away), super respectful (I think my house was cleaner when I got back than when I left it), and most importantly: my boys loved her. Would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Evelyn!!”
“Aida was Awesome!!! Her communication was top notch with pictures and updates daily during our entire trip. Receiving Aida’s updates became a highlight of each day we were away. The photos and messages really allowed the entire family to enjoy our vacation more because we knew our guys were happy and doing well. We will be checking her availability for future travel when our pets aren’t able to go along.”
“Always timely and informative during visits. Very easy to talk to, easy to trust. I can count on Tanya to show up and make sure my pup is safe and well cared for. She’s extremely respectful of the space and you can tell she really does enjoy being with the pup. My go to for a sitter!”
“Jen did a great job watching our dog Gretel. We felt very comfortable with her in our home. She walked her 2 times a day, sent pictures and responded quickly with any questions. We are lucky to have found Jen and hope she will come back again!”
About: I grew up with labs and ultimately wanted lap dogs once I moved out of my parents home. When I was 20 (in college housing) I was crazy enough to get a puppy! My little dachshund made me the most popular student on campus, shortly thereafter I adopted a min pin because being an only child can get lonely! Both my dogs lived to be 20! They recently passed away and we have been missing that part of our family and aren’t yet ready to commit to new furry pets. My daughter is 9 and has done quite a bit of dog sitting already, she is all hands on deck (with supervision) and will surely spoil your pups! We’ve had dogs overnight at our house, done overnights at others home as well as done check ins and day visits. I have experience with administering meds (pills and shots), making special diets, bathing, nail clipping, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and all the typical dog Mom stuff! We like dogs of all sizes and ages! We love to go for long walks and explore nature or play a game of chase or fetch. I work a flexible schedule Monday - Friday and like to stay busy so would be able to accommodate most requests depending on location and advanced notice. We do not currently have any furry pets in our home so your dog(s) would be our main priority! We have a large downstairs basement if your dog has a lot of energy and would get them outside for good exercise as well.
“Tayler is wonderful! My two pooches loved her. She did such a great job with both of their peculiarities. She took good care of Bowie with his allergies and his tendency to chew his feet. She left my house looking great! Also, her regular updates with photos made me feel so reassured that they were all doing well. I hope to keep her as my “go to” sitter!”
“Jessica was amazing!! We were so worried about having to leave our pups for a family trip. We had never used a dog sitter before and so we had a lot of anxiety. Jessica took such incredible care of our boys and sent us updates and pics. It was clear from the pics that the boys were very happy! We were able to relax and enjoy our trip! We will absolutely use Jessica again!!”
“Taylor was great with my dogs, Baxter and Chandler. She was super easy to schedule and she did not seem to have any issues with my two guys. Left the house as it was when she arrived. Would call again for dog/house sitting services!”
About: Having fostered dogs, I am able to learn and adapt to how individual dogs work. I love being in the presence of animals and paying attention to their needs. I am a college student, and am away from the house for roughly 5 hours daily in the mornings. I also work part-time in the evenings and during the day on the weekends. I stay with your dog for as much time as I am able. I am capable of taking them on walks and/or runs depending on their needs, and continuing the training they already know.
“Kevin was really great with my trio of Dogs: medium, small and smaller. He gave meds and did all the things they like to do. He was very flexible with me in the flurry of getting out of town. I recommend him highly!”
“Olivia did a wonderful job with Tessa and also communicated well with us while we were away House was left clean and nice . Most of all Tessa (our dog) loved her .”
“We had a very positive experience with Carolina. We were out of town for almost two-weeks. She sent us a video/pictures daily. And we were in communication if needed. Our dog had some challenges coming in and Carolina seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. She listened, met with us and felt confident that she could watch Tofte. We felt so relieved and comfortable traveling knowing Tofte was in good hands. All went smoothly, Tofte did awesome and credited that to Carolina. We highly recommend Carolina. We will be contacting her in the future.”
“Kendra was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates and was able to walk them at the same time (they’re 50 lbs and 90lbs). The house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy. Could not recommend her more!”
About: I currently work full time nights at a hospital and I am also previously worked in emergency vet medicine for 4 years. I have always loved animals big and small. I hope to get to care for yours soon! I am here to care for your pets in the exact same way you do while you are away. You just let me know how you would like me to care for them and I will do just that. I have stayed over nights with a laboratory, beagles, golden retriever, Pomeranian, cats, Australian shepherd etc. and we had a blast. I can also give baths as needed or medication if they are on daily pills/oral liquid/shots anything. I hope you will consider me and I hope to help you out soon!!! I do work full time however I work nights so I am home during the day taking care of my own golden. So I am happy to assist you and take care or check in on your baby/babies! I treat your house like my own. I cleaned houses growing up and I always treated others houses with respect and care. If I move/use something I put it back etc.
About: I’m extremely playful and loving towards all kinds! There’s been dogs in my family that i’ve trained/cared for all the way from chihuahuas to golden retrievers! I love all kinds and will listen and attend to your puppy’s needs! I’m currently home from college for the summer, and will be using Rover as a full time job! My availability i’m able to offer you is endless! I provide caring and reliable pet care in your pet's own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. With years of experience caring for animals, I understand the importance of maintaining their normal routine while you're away. Whether it's walks, feeding, playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I love getting to know each pet's personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are gone. My goal is to make being away from your pet a little easier by giving you peace of mind that they're in good hands.
“Ava is a go to for us! She takes such great care of our 2 labs, Lola and Daisy. Ava shares photos and communicates well. She takes care of things at the house when needed. We really appreciate Ava being our go to.”
About: I absolutely love dog walking! I have a big senior pup at home who no longer can go for long walks, that's when I decided to start dog walking becuase... I truly enjoy it and love being active! I also have 1 cat of my own and have always had cats, they truly steal my heart. My grey boy you see in my photos crossed🌈Sept 24 I have expierence with leash training (pulling in particular), walking, giving medications/nail trims and drop in visits for potting and feeding. I have references for past clients outside of Rover. As a pet parent, human parent and small business owner I know how important it is to have reliable quality care for our pets! I have full availibility on weekends. Right now my availablity is for early mornings and after 6pm M-F. I am able to be flexible during my work day if I know in advance. Also short term vs long term I am much more flexible during the week. If you need care for ours you don't see please reach out to me. I am very alert in my surrounds on walks, if I see a situation that may not be safe I will use my best judgement as a mom and fellow pet parent to keep your pet safe. This applies to walks and being let out. Since I do not offer care at my home your pet will have the comfort of their own home and routine they are used to.
Oak Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Breanna is so conscientious, smart and thoughtful! She was wonderful to stay with my 3 very spoiled pups. She followed my persnickety instructions for the boys and took care of every little detail while I was away. I will definitely have her back. She is a delight.
I choose Aida as a recommendation from my sister as she watched her huskies. I have two senior Miniature Schnauzers and needed to go out of town quickly. We did a meet and greet and the dogs were immediately comfortable with her. I loved getting updates and could tell they were happy and comfortable in her care. I felt better knowing they were at home and not in a boarding facility. I definitely will hire Aida again and recommend her.
Katie was a great house sitter! She took wonderful care of our cat, Moose. He’s an anxious kitty, so it really eased our minds knowing someone was there with him. She shared photos and updates throughout the weekend, which we really appreciated! She also left our home clean and tidy. We’ve already booked Katie for another stay!
Caleb went above and beyond providing care to our animals and home while we were away. We appreciated his great communication, attention to detail, and most of all his love for animals. We would consider ourselves lucky and would absolutely hire Caleb again if given the opportunity.
Jenea is one of the best dog sitters! She is so compassionate with our 12 year old Corgi who has back leg issues. She cares so much she slept on the couch on main level as our Corgi can’t go upstairs and she didn’t want her to feel alone. So blessed to have her in our village!!!
This was our first experience using Rover, and although we were a bit hesitant at first, we were pleasantly surprised! Shue was so sweet with our dogs and very responsive. She kept us updated with messages and photos while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind. Thank you, Shue - we’ll definitely be booking with you again in the future!
Lannie was flexible. responsive, conscientious and fun. Our pups are older and anxious and we came home to them being happy and relaxed. Lannie sent pictures of them enjoying their normal activities and snuggling with her, which is helped us to enjoy our time away even more. We will definitely reach out to Lannie in the future and highly recommend her!
