“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!”


“Penelope’s stay was exceptional! Yeju took such amazing care of her while we were away, we didn’t worry one bit while out of town. We received daily photo and progress updates, and she even sent her home with cookies! Will absolutely be booking again when we travel.”

“Tim is a great guy who is amazing with animals. He provided pictures and updates every day. My dog did not even want to leave. He obviously provided great care and was very flexible with my schedule for pick up and drop off. I really appreciate his dedication and genuine love of animals.”

“Angel took good care of Ivy for a couple nights and sent lots of updates. He was also very flexible and was even willing to drop her off at my place since I wasn’t available to pick her up.”

“Kyla did an amazing job. She consistently sent photos and updated me on things regarding my pup. I would highly recommend and I plan on utilizing her again.”

“Barbara was a great caretaker for my elderly dog. She handled his medical and emotional needs with care and compassion. I can't leave out her charming assistant, Chewy - between the two of them, Oscar felt welcome and settled in nicely. If he could type, he'd leave a great review, too. I would absolutely book with Barbara again, and would recommend her, especially if your dog needs a little extra nurturing.”

“Bailey is a caring, knowledgeable and experienced pet owner and caretaker. Freddy was well-cared for and I was sent several photos during the day to let me know how he was doing. Bailey was sensitive in incorporating Freddy into her pack of two dogs. I felt very comfortable and confident that Freddy was well cared for. Thank you!”


“This was Chase's second time with Ashley and it was just as good as the first! She is very attentive and sends plenty of pictures. She put a medicated foam in his itchy spots twice per day. And chase got plenty of play time and attention. Highly recommend booking with Ashley!”

“Lisette was awesome! I always felt confident that my pup was in good hands and she was great with communication & updates. She was also accommodating with pickup & dropoff times, which was a plus. Would definitely love to have Jax stay with her again! Thanks, Lisette 😌”

“Truly cannot rave enough about how wonderful Ruben was for my 1 year old lab’s 1 week stay at his house. This was the longest I’ve ever left my pup and he was so kind and responsive sending photos and updates daily - absolutely went above and beyond in every sense (it was my dog’s birthday over the week Ruben watched him and he made it so special for him). He was flexible with pick up and drop off times, answered all of my questions; there’s no doubt my dog was sad to leave since he took such wonderful care of him! Cannot recommend Ruben enough and will absolutely be referring him to all friends and family.”

“This is our second time having Hazel stay with Andrew. Andrew is incredibly attentive to the needs of our senior dog, and very communicative. Hazel is always happy to see Andrew and clearly well taken care of when we pick him up. Thank you so much Andrew!”

“Susan and her family were amazing with my puppy, Ryo. They welcomed him like part of their own little pack, and it honestly made me feel so at ease leaving him there. Susan sent consistent updates and photos, which I appreciated and which reassured me that Ryo was well cared for. He was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Susan to others! Ps: Ryo misses Roo already!”

“Katie was great! Our dog had an injury that required some extra care and Katie made sure our pup was well taken care of and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay”


“E K. Was amazing. She took the best care of my baby and also was so good at making me feel at ease as this was my first time leaving my baby. I would recommend her 100 times over. She would provide daily updates and photo of my baby and always made sure that I knew he was well cared for.”


“Jennifer is great! Very convenient to book, even last minute. Fast response times and plenty of pictures and videos throughout the stay. Daisy always looks like she's having a great time. Highly recommend!”

South Lawndale dog parents share their Rover experiences
Took very good care of my dog, Hobbes, over a somewhat longer period (12 days). He seemed happy to be staying with Barbara and I got many photos of him out and about. Barbara also did a great job keeping up with some special care he needed, and I'd be happy to book with her again!

Elisa was very communicative, and was willing to work with me when my doggo had a few accidents during the first couple of days of her week-long stay! She took such good care of my Juni, that she was actually sad to go back home lol. Your fur babies will be well cared for with Elisa!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about my pet sitter! She stepped in very last minute on Christmas Day, and I am beyond grateful that she did. She was truly amazing from start to finish. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, letting me know exactly how my dog was doing. She showed up on time for feedings, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was relaxed and comfortable. Seeing how calm and happy he was gave me such peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that means everything. I would 100% rebook her without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

Virali and Chirag are excellent pet sitters. Hershey has stayed with them several times now with no issues. They have been very accommodating on pickup and dropoff times, as well as responding quickly to messages. Hershey is always so excited to see them, which is not the case for some previous sitters.

Tania is such a blessing!! I always feel super confident that my dog will be well cared for while in Tania's care. She is super responsive and sends picture updates to keep our mind at ease. We will continue using Tania's services and highly recommend her to new clients!
