“Carmen and Katie were awesome! Loved having them watch our doggo Arlo who also loved playing with all of their fur babies. Plus a fenced in backyard is also a win. Can’t thank them enough for the quick response. Would book again. ✨”



“Susan and her sweet family always take such great care of Charlie! They treat him as if he were their own and I think he'd rather live there. Ha!”


“Chrissy was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous. Chrissy sent us pictures and made sure she knew all of Gypsy's quirks so she could take care of her. She also was very flexible as our plans changed due to a death in the family. I would 100% reccomend her.”


“Audra is fantastic. This was my first tie leaving my dog and I was anxious. Right from the get-go she made me feel comfortable, she was fantastic with him and made him feel like home, she made sure he eat, played and had a healthy dosage of cuddles. She kept me informed at all times and I won’t doubt in leaving my dog with her in the future.”


“We are grateful for Brandi & sincerely appreciate the excellent care/attention that she gave to both of our pups while we were away — I would highly recommend her, 100%.”

“Rhiannon was absolutely wonderful with Eloise, especially given it was a long stay on short notice. We so appreciated her care so we could travel knowing our sweet, high-energy girl was in great hands.”


“Overall a wonderful experience! Sarah was very easy to talk to and very accommodating when my plans changed. My dog is pretty shy but he seemed very comfortable with her and her dogs as soon as he walked in the door.”


“Derrika was great. She took great care of our Charlie, was great with drop off and pickups, and excellent with providing updates and communication. What a blessing it is to have a safe loving home for our little guy when we’re away. Gives us great peace of mind that he’s well taken care of and loved.”


“We love having Christine watch our two dogs when we are out of town. She sends daily photos and treats them like family. It’s easier to be away from them knowing they’re being taken care of well by Christine and her family.”


“Can’t speak highly enough about this sitter! Ruby was in heaven playing ball and part of the whole family’s activities. Lots of communication and very flexible with my schedule. Definitely will be using again when I’m back in town!”


“Shannon is an excellent dog sitter. She has watched our 10 year dog, Ginger, several times now. I am very confident she’s being well looked after and getting all the love and attention she needs. I get daily updates of Ginger going on walks and basking in the sun. Very grateful I don’t have to worry about her when I’m out of town!!”


“She was WONDERFUL. So so so sweet! I was probably more anxious than Bleu, but she made me feel so comfortable. You can just tell she is a wonderful soul right off the bat, and she took care of Bleu on the 4th of July when he is INSANELY terrified, so she went above and beyond. So happy to have found Patricia. I know Bleu found his new best friend, and I found peace of mind!”


“Jennifer and her husband were fabulous! I received updates and pictures daily which I loved! They had a very nice home and wonderful backyard for my pup to roam. Will definitely use them again in the future!”



“Joni had a blast with Christina and Lulu. So appreciated getting some photos during her stay. Christina was great with our dog and so easy to communicate with.”

Oak Park Southwest dog parents share their Rover experiences
We would highly recommend Denise and Jeff. We quickly knew they would be the perfect fit to watch our dog, Scout, after we visited their home for a meet and greet. They were very laid back, but also very attentive and accommodating to Scout's specific needs. Denise was very responsive and sent daily updates with photos. It was clear that Scout was well loved while we were gone and felt right at home. We will definitely ask Denise and Jeff to watch Scout again!

Olga did a wonderful job caring for my dog Polo for 6 days! This was his first time ever staying with someone he didn’t know, and I was nervous because he’s a very picky eater and has separation anxiety. But Olga handled him with so much patience and care—he did better than I could’ve hoped for! She communicated with me several times a day, always keeping me updated with messages and sending pictures that made me feel so at ease while I was far out of town. It truly meant the world to know he was in such loving and capable hands. I can’t thank Olga enough for how well she took care of Polo. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who is attentive, compassionate, and professional. I am grateful!
