“Stacey is absolutely the best - she took such good care of our dog!! We were nervous about leaving for a few days, but as it turned out we had no reason to be - she cared for him as if he were her own. We feel very fortunate to have found her.”
“Joanne immediately won over my pups, even my shy boy who usually takes his time warming up to someone. She sent me pics throughout the day and even extended her stay because one of my girls was nervous because of a thunderstorm. My dogs love her which means everything!”
“Megan did a phenomenal job taking care of Kyla while we were out of the country. My other sitter cancelled last minute due to an injury to her leg 2 days before leaving. Megan stepped up last minute and gave Kyla the extra attention and love that she needed. We felt completely comfortable while away thanks to the updates about her condition, plethora of pictures, and prompt replies! She even went to the vet to pick up additional meds and provided an update about the vets suggestions. We could not have been more comfortable, appreciative, and overall overjoyed with how well she took care of Kyla. We will absolutely be requesting her services again any time we cannot bring Kyla along!! Thanks for an incredible job!! Also, she took exceptional care of the house while we were away, going above and beyond as if it were her own. We cannot thank you enough!”
“You need Ginger on your "home team"! My world is my fur babies, and I very carefully vet out anyone who will be a part of their care. Ginger is conscientious, on time, follows up, communicates quickly and clearly, and takes her work very seriously. I have several little ones, but one in particular came from a really bad abuse situation. Ginger had him eating out of her hand in no time! I was out of town for 2 days and returned home to calm, happy kitties and pups, my home was tidy, everything was locked up, and I could just go right back into my work routine without any worries or delays. Her value as a home and pet sitter gives me the ability to be away for work and know that my home and animals are being well cared for.”
“Christina was great with our two little yorkies. She was on time, very friendly and we could tell she loves animals. I can always tell how good a sitter is by my pups actions when I return. I must say they were so happy, full and looked like they had a teddy good time. I most certainly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a good, honest and reliable sitter”
“Lyn was timely, kind, and did a great job taking care of our home and our three animals. I would book her again in a heartbeat. Our fur babies loved her and our high anxiety dog was glued to her side the whole time. He felt so comfortable with her.”
“Natalie was wonderful with my babies! She sent pictures and updates regularly (and they always looked happy/ like they were having fun), and left my house spotless. I would absolutely recommend her, and hope to use her again for future pet sitting/house sitting needs!”
“Juliann watched our cat and dog while we were away for a long weekend. She did a wonderful job keeping us informed by sending photos and giving us regular updates. Highly recommend her.”
“Roxy had another great visit with Susan! Her eye condition flared up the day I had to leave and Susan was willing to put drops in 3x/day and reassured me that she would be fine. I always feel comfortable when I'm gone knowing that Roxy is in great hands with Susan!”

Oak Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Great dog sitter! Photos every night showing all the activities during the day! Morning and evening walks and fetch with water hide and a ball!! Both dogs , I’m sure, had a very nice time with Sue! Definitely will have her back! Friends are already asking for her!!!!
Amy helped me out with a last minute house sitting request and I am so grateful I found her. She quickly responded to my request and suggested a meet/ greet that same evening. My dog was comfortable with Amy right away; I also immediately felt at ease leaving my dog and home in her hands. She took excellent care of my pup, provided me with consistent updates while I was gone, and sent me lots of pictures/ videos too. She even left me detailed notes about her stay. I would absolutely reach out to Amy for help again in the future.
Carrie was wonderful with our fur babies while we were out of town for the holidays. We have a senior dog and a young high energy dog as well as an indoor/ outdoor cat, Carrie was great with them all giving them the care and attention they needed and then some! She was very kind and thoughtful with all the updates and the pictures she sent while we were away.
Maddy responded positively to our last minute booking request and arrived quickly for a meet and greet. I'm not sure if she arrived for sitting when we requested as the first message was sent with a photo 35 minutes after that time. She also had an event to attend which she told us about ahead of time, which was fine, but the schedule changed around. She also asked what time we would be home so she knew if she needed to come back after church. The booking was until 5:00 PM on Sunday. She did not message on status when she left. Bottom line, I knew she was there and the pets were taken care of, but I'm not sure *when* she was there. As a first time booking with her, I expected clearer communication on arrivals, departures and pet feedings, especially since meds were involved. My fault for not expressing those expectations.
