1. Bola A.
“At the last minute, I had to find a sitter because my regular sitter was booked…and then I found Bola 🥰. We had a meet and greet beforehand so she could get familiar with my dog. I took a chance with her and was not disappointed. I received pictures and videos of my precious fur baby while I was away and and she seemed to be having a good time. I was pleased with Bola and will continue to use her services in the future.”
2. Ashley R.
“Ashley is the greatest!! I was a little worried about leaving my kitten Hadley for two weeks, but he immediately settled into her home and it was clear from the pictures and videos she sent of him always at her side and playing with her cat Pepsi that he adored both of them. Ashley sent me pictures and kept me updated every day, was so accommodating of my schedule and Hadley's routine, and gave him lots of attention. She was super easy to coordinate and communicate with, Hadley settled back in with me as though I’d never left, and I’ve already booked his next stay with her :)”

4. Marchauna B.
“I just arrived in the city for a couple of days and couldn’t bring my dog in the hotel with me.. I was thankful to find Marchauna.. she responded to me quickly and was very professional.🫶🏽 I can tell Koda really enjoyed her stay with Marchauna she kept me updated with pictures/videos and messages daily.. she understood my Koda which is 3 months she did a great job with her.. I only had to provide food for her I was told she already had bowls and pads which was awesome because I left her bowl at a gas station lol.. overall if I’m back in the city I’ll definitely be going back to her if she’s available 💕🫶🏽”

10. Candace C.
“Once again a great stay for Max and an almost worry free trip for me.. I say almost because I always worry when I'm not with him but that's just me. He is well taken care of and I feel so fortunate to have found someone so caring . As long as they are willing I will continue to use their services.”
11. Katie & Nick B.
“Katie was a fantastic sitter. My family has never used these services before and were absolutely in total anxiety mode (especially my wife). Katie was so understanding and communicated to ease my wife's fears. Our dog foxy had never socialized with other dogs and Hazle and Daisy are so nice that our foxy at first was scared but Katie made it to were she was going to do everything to make her relax and part of the pack. Communication was excellent and pictures and videos showed our foxy having fun and making new friend's to the point where, when it was time to go she didn't want to lol. Katie is a great person and good with dogs period, my family would most definitely use her services again especially since vacationing again is in the future for us. We have nothing to complain about Katie her husband and her beautiful dogs. A gem of a sitter. Thank you Katie”
12. Kamiah & Casius D.
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
13. Tonisa J.
“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”
14. Katherine D.
“Katherine was wonderful. I had no worries at all. She sent daily updates as well as pictures. A very loving and caring person. You won't regret booking your dogs stay with her.”
15. Tamara J.
“She was super great with my pup. I loved the photos and updates provided. My pup looked like he had a great time in her care. I will definetly be rebooking!”
16. Denontae G.
“Denontae was able to accommodate my dog, Toby, the week of my vacation. Toby has only stayed with family so I was very nervous but denontae was great! He sends me daily pics of Toby and lets me know how he was adjusting. Overall, I love having Denontae as my caregiver for my baby we couldn’t have made a better choice!”
17. Emily S.
“Emily watched my senior dog, Chloe for 4 days while I was out of town. Chloe is on a ton of meds and is a very anxious girl so I get nervous when I have to leave her. Emily was super communicative and sent lots of pics. She followed directions very well and Chloe seemed to really like her! I highly recommend booking Emily.”
18. MariaJose R.
“All I can say is WOW!! This is my first time having a dog in decades. I recently adopted a beautiful, loving American Pit Terrier from the Anti Cruelty Society in Chicago. At the last minute, I needed to travel and needed a boarder asap. Thank goodness for Rover and most importantly, MariaJose! The scheduling was seamless. When I dropped my Day-Z off to the care of MariaJose I was relieved by her additional questions, genuine concern and kindness for my dog. The daily photos, videos and check- ins, were the icing on the cake. MariaJose has a TRUE love for our furry friends. Thank you MariaJose, you're AWESOME!”
19. Ra'eesa S.
“Ra'eesa took great care of my dog. She provided photos, videos and updates of him enjoying walks and the dog park. I am so glad we found her on rover and plan to become a repeat client.”
20. Candace L.
“This was my second time boarding with Candace and she was great!, her dog and mines get along really well and love to play with each other. She is constant with updates and provides great videos. I definitely recommend her! She’s awesome!”
