“Our pup had an awesome stay with Joe. He was very well taken care of and had so much fun. Walks, other dogs to play with, and water hose playtime. I’ll be booking with Joe again! Thank you, Joe!!”
“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!”
“Kimberly is a very capable and confident caregiver. Almost a dog whisperer. After we left town, she informed us that our pet didn’t take well to hers. She didn’t panic or pout to us. Just informed and managed it for 8 nights. Would use her again and recommend her highly!”
“Rob has went above and beyond for my Nova. I had to make a very hard decision to possibly putting her in a shelter, but he said “no” I will keep her until a loving home is found for her. It has happen and it’s going to be bitter sweet, Rob is loving her as she deserves. Thank you Rob for your loving heart and passion.”
“Our two girls, Elizabeth and Scout, were cared for wonderfully by Suzanne. On our first meet and great prior to boarding, our girls took to Suzanne immediately, this was GREAT to see since we booked a sixteen night stay! Elizabeth needed to have oral medication twice daily and Suzanne was happy to make sure Elizabeth's needs were met. We were pleased with how well our girls got along with Suzanne's new puppy, Harley ?, and her fenced-in yard provided a safe outdoor space for our girls to hang out. Suzanne was great at sending photos and videos, to keep us updated on how our girls were doing throughout our trip. When we picked our dogs up, we found two very happy girls, that had a great time in Suzanne's care. We highly recommend Suzanne for your dog sitting or boarding needs, as she really seems to have a way with dogs.????”
“Jonelle is an absolute professional and very passionate about her work. She checked in regularly with a brief description of daily activities, and provided pics & videos of my pups during their extended stay. Response time was exceptional and was available every time I reached out. My dogs mean the world to me and I was able to enjoy my time away without worry of their care or well being. If you are looking for someone that’s dependable and efficient, Jonelle is definitely someone to consider without any hesitation. HIGHLY recommend. A simple thank you would not come close to expressing my gratitude.”
“Conor watched our pup over Christmas and the cold snap. She seemed cozy and happy with Conor and his family, and he was flexible about our last-minute pickup arrangement after some travel disruption.”
“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.”
“Rick was the absolute best host one can ask for. Rick took our 60 pound dog Onyx, for 5 days. He provided high quality pictures and videos throughout the booking. His dogs welcomed our dog and got along great. Super communicative through the pick up and drop off process. Overall met expectations and beyond! Will book again 100%!”
“Jenny took amazing care of our cat. Gracie (cat) had never been boarded before.. Jenny was incredibly patient knowing Gracie would be anxious and shy and knew we would prob be worried to. She sent us so many photos, was so gentle and accommodated.Gracie's routine and learned her habits quickly. We feel lucky to have found such a kind and empathetic pet sitter in Jenny and would use her again should the need arise.”
“Shirley is super sitter. Sent me cool slo mo vid of my pooch playing tricks. I was traveling thru and wanted to go to show in Chicago. She came to motel and picked up Bella. Highly recommend Shirley !!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Angelica! My shih tzu is a nervous boy with special needs and Angelica was so wonderful to him. She took expert care of his eye (he needs one cleaned a certain way) and was so good to him when an unexpected thunderstorm rolled through on one of the nights he was staying with her (he absolutely hates thunder). Her home is set up perfectly for dogs, too. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!”
“Janet was such a wonderful and caring sitter. She took such good care of our Charlie girl and gave her the princess treatment that every senior dog deserves. From fun walks and park trips to making sure she took her medication. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“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”
“Doug and Deb took care of our 11-year old medium-sized dog for 2 days/1 night while we were at a wedding. They were wonderful! We explained ahead of time that she is immunocompromised and can’t be around other dogs unless we’re 100% sure they are vaccinated, so Doug & Deb made sure she was the only “guest” in their home that weekend. They were also very accommodating when we let them know a few days before our trip that our dog would be wearing a cone and needed some antibiotic cream applied after a toenail injury. And of course, they sent pictures and reports on how she was doing throughout her stay. We will definitely use their services again in the future!”

O'hare dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
Kim was awesome with my Osita. This was our first time away from her. Kim was very flexible and accommodating the last minute booking. Osita is 8 months old and full of energy- Kim did a great job keeping her busy and also made sure Osita felt safe. She sent many pictures and videos and was quick to respond when I reached out to check on Osita. Highly reccomend!
Paula and her family took such great care of Weston while he was with them for the week. We felt very comfortable that he's in the best hands and loves the daily updates a d pictures. Our guy is a senior and we felt Paula was so attentive and tuned into his needs.
We couldn't be more thrilled with the care our dog, Remo, received from Yasmina! From the moment we met her, we knew Remo was in good hands. She went above and beyond to ensure he had a great time while we were away. Not only did she provide him with lots of love and attention, but she also kept him active and entertained with walks, playtime, and even introduced him to new toys and treats that kept him busy and happy. It's clear she really cares about animals and takes the time to make them feel special. Remo absolutely adored her, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable hands. Highly recommend – she truly made our trip stress-free!
