“Tonisha is very kind, flexible, responsive. I missed my drop off window and she was very gracious. She shared daily photos and asked about Langston’s behaviors to ensure he was safe i.e.going on walks, etc. If possible, we hope to work with her again.”

“We planned our trip ahead of time and Bola made sure to keep open communication along the way. As we dropped our pup off to Bola, the transition was very easy. While Bola had Junie, Bola made sure to keep us updated with pictures. Thanks Bola”

“Khala is amazing! Super professional and dogs love her. This was my first time using Rover. I wasn’t sure about what to do and Khala was helpful in guiding me. She met my pup a few days before and let him get familiar. He was actually excited to go back when I had to drop him off. He had an awesome weekend and Khala sent plenty of pictures. I’m so happy I found somebody this awesome on the first try.”


“Elizabeth was very prompt with her updates on Bandie’s stay. I was pleased that she had the opportunity to play with other dogs in a well structured environment. She was well fed and well rested when we picked her up. We received numerous pictures of her having a great time while we were away for the week. All of Bandie’s items were returned in great condition and those that weren’t, we expected Bandie to beat them up. We have already started discussions with Elizabeth to watch Bandie again since we were so happy with her work.”
“Kamiah and Casius took great care of our dog, Ziggy, over the holidays. They were easy to communicate with and sent a daily video to let us know Ziggy was doing ok. Drop-off was quick and easy, and Kamiah kindly brought Ziggy back to us at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend!”

“Our first time boarding our Daisy. Katie was great with communication. The meet and greet before booking was great. Highly recommend her and would definitely use this service again!”


“Beverly was wonderful! She was very accommodating to my schedule and very attentive to Kobe. She had a large fenced yard for Kobe to run & play. And, he got a chance to socialize with other dogs. Beverly also sent frequent updates & pics during Kobe’s stay, so we could be assured he was enjoying his stay. I would definitely use Beverly again! And, Kobe has a new friend for life.”


“This is the 3rd time we have trusted Dwight to take care of Cosmo. Cosmo comes home so happy and relaxed. Cosmo has such a great time! I highly recommend Dwight!”

“Tamara was absolutely amazing with Frankie! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in safe, caring hands. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It’s clear she truly loves and understands dogs, and Frankie seemed so happy and comfortable in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“"Brandon has watched my dog, Cookie, three times now, and each time has been fantastic. He consistently provides excellent care, ensuring Cookie is happy and well-taken care of. I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter and highly recommend Brandon for his reliable and professional service!"”

“Kyle and Ben were great! Our dog loves them and seems to have had a great time with their dogs and cats. Kyle and Ben board many dogs in our neighborhood and everyone has great things to say about them. It was relief to know our dog was in a home environment with nice, trustworthy people.”
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”

“Our big boy Masai loved staying with Ashley and her beautiful family. They took great care of him. And gave of us photo updates which kept us from wondering about his first overnight stay with someone he'd just met. We will definitely be calling on them again... I can't recommend them enough!”

“Megan did a great job with Winston - an eight month old Miniature Schnauzer puppy with plenty of energy. She is very patient, caring, and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely leverage her services again.”

“Tashea and Dushan did an amazing job watching my 2 month old American Bully. I was nervous because it was my first time away from her, but they kept me updated with pictures and videos and she looked super happy in every single one. I highly recommend them for dog boarding.”

“Manuel was so good to my baby Luna!!! He agreed to a last minute booking for me during a week long vacation. He sent daily photos and updates and was very responsive to messages throughout her stay. We will DEFINITELY book with him again!”

“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences. She sent me regular updates and photos of my pup, which put me at ease while I was away! I highly recommend Kyla for a trustworthy and caring place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”


“We would highly recommend Candace and Steve. Dexter is very attached to us and we were a bit worried about how things would go. From the meet and greet to the full 9 day stay, things went more smoothly than we could have imagined. Dexter was well cared for and content. Candace sent video clips often and we were so surprised to see how well he adjusted. He even made a new friend- Pumpkin! We can't thank Candace and Steve enough for taking care of our guy and allowing us to have a very relaxing and much needed family vacation.”

South Chicago dog parents share their Rover experiences
Destine was able to watch Louie on short notice and flexible to make the situation work. Lou has needed daily cleaning of his cheek where an abscess was drained and Destine was very attentive with this. She took him on walks, gave some of his favorite treats, and overall made sure he was comfy and happy the best she could.

Sharett is an AMAZING sitter! She babysat our fur baby Tenley for almost one month (and during the holiday season at that) and the care she provided was nothing short of stellar. We were overseas and having anxiety about leaving Tenley with just anyone and wanted Sharett specifically given her experience, love for dogs, and that she has also sat for Tenley before (he loves her and her home). She really did treat Tenley as if he were her own, gave us constant updates, dealt graciously with his sensitive stomach and specific food diet, and had an incredible amount of patience with him. We really appreciate everything she did for our fur baby and put our minds at ease. Our family will definitely be using Sharett again, we highly recommend her to any fur parents who are seeking an experienced, loving, and trustworthy sitter!
