“Megan took great care of our two dogs. She sent lots of pictures to keep us up to date, and left the house tidy. Would definitely book with her again.”

“Reagan is amazing . She loves Winnie like she’s her own. You house is still standing (haha ) and just like you left it. I hope we never have to find someone else. Reagan is priceless 💕💙💙💙”

“This was our first time working with Arianna! She was able to accommodate us last minute and take care of our FOUR furbabies. She met all of their individual needs and was able to fit a meet and greet same day. Kept us informed of any updates and sent pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups with her. Looking forward to booking with her again. She so great even our Velcro dog loved her”

“Danielle was absolutely amazing with our dogs and we can’t recommend her enough. We were away for a week and she stayed in our home, spending time with the dogs throughout the day and sleeping over at night. We have two dogs, including a puppy, and she handled everything so calmly and responsibly. She sent us daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about animals and treats them like her own.”

“John watched my dogs/babies, Jewel and Jada, for the second time. Jada is blind and diabetic. She is almost 12 years old, so she has special needs with diabetes medication and also with her being blind. John is wonderful with both of my babies, and they love him! While I was visiting my daughter out of state, while John was watching Jewel and Jada, Jada had an emergency situation. And John did not hesitate to take quick action to get Jada to her vet for emergency care. John kept in contact with me and let me know exactly what was going on. I trust him completely with my dogs, and I plan to use him any time I need him to care for them in the future. I don’t have any worries when my dogs are in John‘s care.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Maya took such good care of our fur baby! Our dog loved her so much!! Maya was very attentive to our dogs needs and made sure to follow instructions. I highly recommend Maya as a sitter!!!”


“Very helpful and flexible watching our old lady Lana. Extended the booking when travel plans changed with no issues. Tons of updates and would book her any time! Highly recommend.”

“This was my first time using Cali but it won’t be my last! Chachi and Stormy were healthy and happy when I returned home. You could tell they received lots of love and affection. The house was left neat and tidy, and she stayed in daily contact. I am a happy client!!”

“Our first time using Staphanie for our 4 furbabies. She was able to fit them in her busy weekend and care for all of their needs! Great communication! We enjoyed having her and will be using her in the future.”

“Lauren was very good in taking care of Lexie, she was in contact with us throughout during her time with Lexie. I highly recommend Lauren for anyone needing her services. We will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends for years, I love hanging out with people’s pets especially cats and big dogs! This year my neighbor got a puppy and I was constantly over there helping with potty training and feeding her! I’m currently a college student with a pretty flexible schedule! On weekdays before 11 and after 3 I am free to walk your pups! Weekends will be a little more tricky for me since I am currently doing a 200 hr yoga teacher training. I’m a very high energy person willing to play and walk the distance! with your fur babies! I have two dogs and a cat back at home and if I wasn’t hanging out with my cat I was playing with the dogs!
“Karen is great with our babies. They really loved her and we felt comfortable going away with her watching them. Can’t want to continue to use her services in the future. 10/10 recommend her!”

“Madalyn was amazing!!! This was our first time leaving our Livy with a dog sitter & she took such good care of her plus our house. She sent updates on Livy every day at different parts of the day which we really appreciated as Livy is also on a medicine regimen currently. She alleviated all of our concerns and we know Livy loved her time with Madalyn! She even made sure the house was just as we left it plus did her sheet/towel laundry. We know we have found a go-to sitter for the future!”

“She was a fantastic sitter! Very communicative, sent pictures daily and provided Goose with so much love! She even took him on a special outing to meet new dog friends. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Yuliya did a fantastic job taking care of my dog! I got tons of pictures and updates and her communication with me was wonderful! She really took the time to get to know my dog and her needs during a meet and greet before I left town which helped me feel so much better about leaving”


“Penelope was absolutely incredible! Our situation is a bit unique since we have donkeys, goats, and horses in addition to our cats, but she handled everything with so much care and attention. I can be very particular about how my animals are cared for, and Penelope followed every detail perfectly. While we were gone for two weeks, she kept me at ease with frequent updates and photos, which I truly appreciated. On top of taking such great care of the animals, she was respectful of our home, kept everything clean, and even did her own laundry before leaving. It gave us such peace of mind knowing everything was in her hands. I honestly couldn’t imagine a better person for the job, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. Thank you, Penelope, for everything—you’re a gem!”


“Sol watched our dogs this weekend and did an amazing job. He stayed with them the whole time, kept up with all their walks, and handled their meds perfectly. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a clean house, which says a lot about the care and attention he gave them. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’d absolutely trust Sol to watch them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.”

South Side pet parents share their Rover experiences
When needing services for your fur family, Rover has numerous options and when I read Arianna’s profile and reviews, I felt more than comfortable with her professional services. I was not disappointed at all, Arianna is an awesome person with pets, we were extremely happy with her. I will definitely reach out to her in the future. I also strongly recommend her services for anyone needing what she offers for your pets. Thank you Arianna.

Kyle did an outstanding job with both our boxers. Beau is a 7.5 month old male German boxer. He can be a handful. Kyle gave us routine updates with photos. Kyle stayed in our home, and it was perfectly clean and in order upon our arrival. My wife and I highly recommend Kyle for pet sitting. We fully entrust the well being and safety of our 2 boxers either Kyle. Thank Kyle for a great job on sitting our boys.

Christina had a last-minute situation that resulted in needing to change the house sitting to drop-in visits, and she was very professional about communicating the need for the change and dropping the overall price. We are grateful that she was still able to prioritize caring for our pets during the holiday. The pets were happy and healthy when we returned, and the litterbox was clean. Thanks Christina!
