“Jackie and her family were amazing with our dog. They took amazing care of him, and even took him out to play a few times. Jackie kept me updated with pictures and videos though-out the weekend. Our dog enjoyed his visit and I will be booking Jackie next time we’re in need of a sitter!!”
“Julia was great! She always had great communication, easy to coordinate drop off and pick up and it is clear that she put care and attention into taking care of our pup! Thank you Julia!”
“Natalie was fantastic. She took excellent care of my fur baby and sent daily pictures and videos. It was very clear that my cat was happy and well cared for. Would highly recommend her.”
“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”
“Doug & Deb took great care of our dog while we were on vacation! They provided a lot of updates and were flexible, convenient, and responsive. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Jonathon couldn’t have been a better choice to take care of our puppy, Beverly. She is a 95lb big baby mastiff who has never spent a day without us and needs a lot of attention and cuddles keep her happy. Our honeymoon was 12 days long and I was very nervous leaving her for that long. Jonathon sent us lots of pictures and it was very obvious that she was happy and safe in their care and allowed me to relax and enjoy our trip. Can’t recommend them enough and so happy to have found a sitter we trust with our precious very large baby!”
“Arlene has very good communication with us from the moment we contacted her to check for the availability until we picked up our dog. Our dog enjoyed the stay and we will trust her for future times we will require someone to keep our dog while we are in vacation”
“Clarissa did an amazing job of watching my dog, Peaches, for several nights. She was very responsive and provided photo updates each day. Her dog, Herkie, was also a great host and was very patient with Peaches entering his space. I would definitely recommend her to watch your dog!”
“Joerg and Lake (& Lizzie!) took incredible care of my 9 month old pup. This was the first time I was going out of town since adopting her and I was nervous to leave her but I made the best choice by leaving her with them! They gave me updates throughout my trip and made me feel at ease! Bisou was sad to leave! I will definitely be going back to them in the future :)”
“Brian (and Lauren) we’re great. Easy to work with and good at communicating. I will definitely keep them in my short list. If your dog needs long walks, Brian is IN. He takes their dog out on 2-3 mile walks. They also have a back yard and space to keep the dogs separate, if that’s what they need.”
“Kimberly helped us out with a super last minute 2 week boarding stay. Dallas was well taken care of and made a new little bestie in Kimberly’s son (probably because he had all the treats 😂)!”
“Carey really enjoyed staying with Pamela and her dog over the weekend. She literally ran straight to Pamela when I dropped her off. I also see my dog is very happy and taken well care of through the pics that Pamela shares. I will be using her again in the future!”
“Ian was so awesome with my dog who can be a bit reactive and needs a lot of exercise. He sent lots of updates and i knew she was in amazing care for a long trip i was on. I would absolutely rebook with Ian!!!”
“Faith was proactive and communicative - she really put me at ease for leaving my cat with her for a longer period of time. She was attentive and flexible and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter”
“Andrew did a great job with our two frenchies over a long holiday weekend. They're used to having a house sitter when we go away, but stayed at Andrew's this time. We came back to two happy, healthy, and calm pups. One of them can be quite a hand full, but he took to Andrew's calm demeanor (almost) immediately. Great communication before and during the stay kept our minds at peace during the whole experience. Thanks again, Andrew!”
“I was nervous leaving Slayer with someone new but Angel made it so easy by checking in frequently and sharing photos/videos. Slayer had furry friends to play with and had a great time. Rest assured, your pup is in good hands!!”
“Laura and Vladimir are wonderful, along with the rest of the family members that I got to meet. They are all very attentive dog caregivers! Our senior pup seemed very comfortable in their care and got along well with the other dogs that they were hosting.”
“Rico is an excellent dog sitter for our dog Snow. He is reliable, he sent us daily photos of Snow. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog in their care. Our dog feels at home with them. They have a well-maintained backyard that Snow can play and run around. Rico loves hanging out with our pet and takes extra time to show some love and cuddles. We highly recommend him.”
“Sasha's great !! Bella loved her and her 2 dogs, Chewy and Nacho. She certainly enjoyed herself because she was pooped when she got home. Will definitely come back if they'll have her :)”
Portage Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rosemarie always takes such great care of Milo! I am always well informed of what’s happening during their time together. Milo was so excited to hear her voice on the intercom that I felt easy about leaving him for the weekend - he clearly enjoys all of his time with Rosemarie! I am glad to have found her.
Casey does an amazing job of watching my dogs. She really gets to know them and their quirks! She’s very responsive to messages and will work with you on pick up and drop off times, especially when something unexpected comes up. My dogs love staying with Casey and always seem well taken care of when they get back home.
Jackie is amazing. This is my third time using her and I couldn’t be happier. She sends tons of videos and updates, which really puts my mind at ease, and it’s obvious how well she takes care of Teddy. He’s always happy, relaxed, and clearly loved when he’s with her. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.
Boarding my dog, Emma, for a week was easy and stress-free with Andrea! She sends lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, so I felt confident that Emma was having a good time and settling in well. Andrea and her husband were very attentive to Emma’s needs, and she came home looking very healthy and happy. We will definitely book her again!
Julia accepted to keep Gizelle the day before Christmas. My husband got sick and my original sitter was cancelled because we weren't sure if he would be able to travel. We are grateful that he could. Gizelle was well taken care of. Usually she leaves the sitter acting strange but she was fine. Thank you Julia!
This was our second time leaving the pups with Arlene and she was wonderful as always! She was very accommodating when we had to travel last minute for a family emergency and we are grateful for her support. The dogs were happy campers and I appreciated the photo updates she sent when she got a chance!
Andrea is the ideal pet-sitter! She is patient and kind with my quirky rescue pup -- keeping his routines, lots of affection, and making him comfortable. She is incredibly responsive and a strong communicator; willing to flex when I had travel issues. Andrea also took good care of my cats visiting daily to care for them. I came home to happy, cared for pets and no mess. I am deeply appreciative of her excellent service and consider her to be part of our family's support team. She is our first-choice for pet care.
