“Deanna did an amazing job taking care of my two pups, Nala and Mushu! She made sure they were comfortable, well taken care of, and treated them like her own. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Nala and Mushu both looked happy, relaxed, and well adjusted in her home. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. Thank you so much, Deanna! I would definitely book with you again.”

“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”

“Alexandra was great with my dog Lady. She kept me updated on how Lady was doing on a daily basis with photos and videos on occasions. I would definitely book Alexandra again.”

“Initially I felt bad dropping my dog off, he was super nervous when I left but Achara helped him get settled in and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. She provided regular pictures so I could see him enjoying his time with new puppy friends and enjoying laying in the yard in the sun! I’m grateful for the compassionate care and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!”

“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”

“We dropped off our lil guy for 2 weeks over the holidays and couldn’t have been happier with Bari. She was giving us constant updates and pictures. It was a great peace of mind knowing he was having fun and being cared for!”

“Roy was great. We had a very last minute booking and it was nice that he made the time to meet Baxter beforehand and get to know us as well. He kept communication with me the whole weekend. Took my pup on many walks and cuddled up for movie time with him. Will definitely be using Roy for future stays!”

“This is Oreo’s second stay with Marilee, Joe and their dog Zuko. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ I know Oreo is well cared for and enjoys his time there taking advantage of the comfy sofa & huge park like yard. We will be back for the next holiday!”


“Ruby enjoyed her time at Michael’s. Even with it being a wet weekend, Ruby had a lot of time to get fresh air, go in daily walks, and play outside. He updated us often with photos. She didn’t look distressed and was clean when picking her up. We will likely use Michael again.”

“Irina was amazing with my Benson. I could tell Benson really liked her and her family. They were all lovely. Benson almost didn’t want to say bye to her. She gave regular updates and sent pics and videos of him so that I know that he was safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!!”

“Absolutely amazing! She took great care of our pup and sent pics of him playing and having a good time. She played a lot with him and made sure he had a great stay”

“Tammi was great with my reactive German Shepherd. She sent me photos and let me know how he was doing daily. Communication was great. I appreciated that she was available on short notice. Highly recommend her! Will book again! Thanks!”

“Zariyah is terrific. My spoiled pup just left Zariyah’s place after a 6 day stay. (Big deal for my household.) Downright heartwarming how my pup just sat at Zariyah’s feet calmly while she and I chatted about the stay. Spoke volumes about how safe my pup felt around her. Zariyah is excellent about the mechanics of boarding four-legged children: thorough meet-and-greet, wants and shares details about food / temperament / meds / etc., “proof of life” pics and videos throughout the stay. Will def be back. Thanks again, Zariyah.”


“Megan was great! She was available for a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable leaving Daisy there. She updated on Daisy and was easy to get ahold of. I would definitely recommend Megan.”

“Awesome care of Koda! He was well exercised (possibly spoiled!) and I never worried about him the whole 12 days. He was clean and happy at pickup. Definitely will be requesting again!!”

About: With years of experience caring for pets of all ages, I specialize in providing personalized and integrity driven care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. From training playful puppies to offering gentle care for seniors with special dietary or mobility requirements, I’m skilled at adapting to every stage of a pet’s life. My attention to detail, ability to administer medications, and focus on creating a safe and loving environment set me apart. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I ensure your pets feel happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I work average 4-5 hours per day throughout the week with a flexible schedule. I can be available morning, afternoon, evening and overnight for your individual needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I take great care to create a secure and pet-friendly environment. In my home, I ensure all areas are free of hazards, with gates or barriers where needed, and I remove any items that might be harmful or tempting to curious pets. I also provide cozy spaces for rest, plenty of toys, and access to fresh water at all times. For dogs, I make sure the yard (if available) is fenced and supervised during outdoor play, and for cats, I set up safe spaces for climbing or hiding as they prefer. In my clients’ homes, I follow their specific routines and instructions to maintain consistency and comfort for their pets. I’m mindful of home safety, such as locking doors and securing gates after walks or playtime. I clean up after pets and ensure they always feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment. Communication is key—I keep pet owners updated with photos, videos, and detailed messages, so they can trust their pets are in loving hands. Whether it’s ensuring medications are administered on time, providing enrichment through play, or offering a calming presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own.
South Oak Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
I had an amazing experience with Vivi. I previously did not have the most positive experience with a rover sitter, so I was a little nervous about booking with someone again. Luckily, Viví was super easy to work with. She watched my dog for close to a week. She gave me daily updates/photos, helped modify my booking when needed, and responded promptly. I will be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Vivi!

Deborah is truly exceptional—I can’t say enough good things about her. Her genuine love for dogs shines through in everything she does, and she took incredible care of Koa. She kept me updated every day with photos and videos of Koa enjoying her meals, playing, and making new dog friends, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Koa was not only well cared for but genuinely loved. I was able to fully relax on my trip knowing she was in such capable and compassionate hands. When I picked her up, I could even tell Koa was a little sad to leave, which says everything. I’m so grateful to have found Deborah and will absolutely be booking with her again!

We have had Zariyah watch our dog River on a few occasions. River is always excited to go there and she has fun interacting with the other dogs and kids. Zariyah does a good job caring for our dog and she sends us pictures and videos during the stay to let us know how everything is going. We will definitely be having her watch our dog again in the future.

Patty is amazing. Very kind. Very thoughtful. And, truly loves dogs. She treated our pup with the highest of care and took excellent care of her. She’s responsive and extremely accommodating. We had some travel issues and she was very helpful and flexible. Can’t say enough about her. Looking forward to Kala staying with her again soon.
