“Janet was awesome in taking care of our furry baby Panda. she has obviously taken care of a lot of pets over the years and she updated us regularly with photos and videos. We would gladly leave Panda in her care again as the need arises.”


2. Ariel M.

“Ariel was great! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates. I was also happy to see other dogs in Ariel’s care. It meant that Nandi would not only have a great place to stay while I traveled but that she also got to socialize with other dogs. Nandi seemed happy and calm during pickup which is always a good sign when I use Rover sitters. I had peace knowing that Nandi was cared for and safe while I was away. I would definitely book with Ariel again.”

8. Susseth M.

“We recently moved to Chicago and needed to find a sitter last minute for our dog, Charlie. We’ve had incredible sitters in the past and have really high standards for who we want caring for Charlie. Susseth was so accommodating and responsive from the beginning. We had a meet and greet with her and her dog prior to scheduling the stay. She even offered to do a day care day to make sure everyone got along and that it was a good match. During Charlie’s stay, we received multiple pictures and reports on how things were going. We couldn’t be happier with the experience!”

Tengo una perrita Pom que se porta muy bien con otros perritos y hace bien compañía.




14. Carolina C.

“We left our little Leo for the very first time and we were nervous. After our video meeting with Carolina we felt like we could trust her with our little guy for our 5 night getaway. It was a good sign when Leo just walked up to her and followed her in when I dropped him off. She was awesome. She sent us pictures of Leo throughout the day and we were happy to see Leo so comfortable and feeling loved. He had good times outside and inside. Thanks Carolina for taking care of Leo!!!”


15. Eniya H.

“Axx enjoyed his stay with Eniya and her various family members! He had some new experiences while there and I was pleased with how well Axx responded.

I’m so happy I’ve found a reliable, competent sitter for our boy!!”

19. Malchom N.
“Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!”


20. Alexandra E.

“Alexandra is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our two pups for an entire week. She provided daily pictures showing my boys playing, eating, and even relaxing on the couch. When we picked them up a the end of their week-long stay, both were so relaxed and happy. We definitely plan to rebook with Alexandra.”
