“Lori was incredible! I was new to Rover, but decided to give it a try. After meeting her and her entire family, I felt very comfortable leaving our dog. While away, I got several pictures of our pup. Lori took him on long walks and he rested in one of many nice plush dog bed that she had. I could tell he was having a great time! Our pup was very well taken care of!! I would highly recommend Lori. Our family will continue to book whenever she is available moving forward!!”


“Kendal is an amazing dogsitter. It’s always a little nerve wrecking to board your animals but she was always quick to respond to any text messages and provided plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to any dog parent. You can tell she has a genuine love and compassion towards our four legged fur babies. Thank you so much Kendal! 😊”



“Cindy and Steve were the best hosts we could have asked for our pup. The yard is perfect with lots of room to run around, and we got timely updates on Ruger's status including photos and videos. I would definitely go back to them in future.”


“Natalya was kind and gentle with my pup.Provided a peaceful environment, sent photos and kept us updated. We were very pleased with the care our fur baby received and would be happy to use her services in the future.”


“Nathalie and her family were great! She would send me photos of Shamus almost everyday. That was very thoughtful to do. Shamus has type 1 Diabetes and she gave him his shots twice a day. I would definitely have Shamus go back there again. First time using the Rover App and very pleased.”


“I highly recommend Yohanna and Mark. They truly love dogs, and the pictures they sent realty showed my dog as a member of their family. I liked that they only watch one pet at a time, so i knew mine was well cared for.”


“Very responsive with booking, even with the short notice that we had. She sent multiple videos and pictures of Sophie throughout her stay. We felt extremely comfortable leaving her for the weekend and will definitely use Debbie again!”


“Cheri is so caring and knowledgeable about animals, dogs in particular! So thankful that we found her to care for our 4-legged baby. Our pup had a great time with Cheri, and we received photos of their time together. Cheri was flexible and super responsive; our dog came home clean and happy; and we highly recommend Cheri!”


“Leslie was so thoughtful and attentive with our pug. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos. He got to spend the weekend playing in the yard with her sweet pug Patrick and we could not be happier to know he was in good hands. Will definitely book her again in the future and recommend to those looking for sitter!”


“Stella and a wonderful time and we picked her up looking excited and healthy! Charlotte was also highly communicative and send us photos of Stella everyday. We highly recommend trusting Charlotte with your pup.”


“Misty and Dan have watched our Frenchie, Winston, multiple times. Winston is always excited to go, so this assures me that he is well taken care of. Misty also sends us pictures/videos daily which helps us miss him less. We trust Misty and will continue to board with her.”


“Erika is the best! After a terrible experience with a previous boarding, I can definitely say that this has been an overall great experience! I received plenty updates and pictures, and I can tell that my puppy had a great time as well. I will recommend Erika to anyone, and will definitely be using her services again!”


“Christal did an excellent job taking care of our two cats while we were away for two weeks. She sent us pictures almost every day, and our cats looked so happy in each one. When we ran out of treats, she went out of her way to buy more. We definitely recommend Christal; she's very kind and clearly loves animals. We'll definitely be returning customers!”


About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life. I also know how important it is to be able to leave my pets with someone who is caring, kind, and safe. Pets are family but sometimes we need to leave them with sitter. I will care for the pups I care for as my own. I have a fenced yard where they can play. Arlington Park a few blocks away for walks. I am recently retired RN. I wake looking forward to care for my two small dogs and am available to open our home to another small dog. I keep my boarding to a single dog or will care for two from same home. I have a complete fenced yard and will be able to crate dog if necessary. Constant care. Never leave them outside by themselves. My dogs are allowed on furniture and sleep with me. The visiting dog will be able to as well if ok with owner.
