“Julia was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Sammie. Sammie is very shy and can take time to warm up to new people, but Julia was so patient, understanding, and gentle with her. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos where I could easily see how comfortable and happy Sammie was in her care. It’s clear Julia truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I felt completely at ease while I was away and would trust her to watch Sammie again in a heartbeat!”
“Our little dog Baz had a great time! Joerg & Lake were communicative and super friendly. It was just an overnight trip but we felt assured that Baz was in great hands. Will definitely be reaching out to use them again in the future!”
“Keit took great care of Bumi while we were away for a long weekend. He has some back issues and Keit was great about carrying him up and down the stairs.”
“Chad and his wife were exceptional! I felt so at ease with my pup Olive in their care. Chad was extremely kind, loving with Olive, very responsible and communicated with me during the entire visit. I’m already using him again for a trip in a week. Thank you Chad!!”
“Marco and his wife are absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend Marco. My dogs were loved and had a blast. They sent great updates and pictures. I could not ask for a better dog sitter.”
“Suk Won was amazing with my dog Capri! He sent frequent updates in the form of videos and pictures and responded to questions quickly! With Capri still having quite a bit of puppy energy he was able to work with her. His dog Luna was an absolutely amazing playmate for Capri while I was away!”
“John and Ryan were the best!! They were able to watch Wilson somewhat last minute and were so easy to work with. Sent lots of updates and pics, Wilson had the BEST TIME, I think he was sad to return lol. Thank you guys!!”
“Irene was great with our two year old Westie, Bella! She was very responsive before and during Bella’s stay with her and Bella got to partake in many fun activities during her weekend stay! We loved getting many picture updates and Bella also loved hanging out with Irene’s son. Would definitely recommend Irene and her family for any pups that are kid friendly!”
“Erin is an amazing caretaker! Our pup loves going there for daycare or overnights and is always excited to hang out with her and her dog. He starts crying when he recognizes where we are at we get closer.”
“First time ever use Rover. We were lucky to find Mikey just less than a mile away from our house and very reasonable charge. The communication with Mikey was smooth and clear, he took a very good care of my Charlie (first time ever boarding at the sitter’s place), Ridley is a good host as well to accommodate Charlie like a big brother! My experience with Rover and Mikey are super good, will come back to Mikey again!”
“Had a really great experience with Susan watching my 2 dogs. We did a meet and greet in advance and my dogs got along great with Isla. She was very accommodating of my dog with anxious behaviors and even their walking styles/activity levels. I felt very comfortable while I was away and got daily updates and photos! Will absolutely be booking again next time I’m away. Thank you Susan!”
“Christian took such good care of our dog! He sent many updates and made sure she had the attention and exercise she needed. My dog didn’t want to say goodbye to him! I highly recommend him as a pet sitter!”
“Ian was fantastic! Kept me updated on my dog's and sent me so many pictures. I absolutely loved it, I felt like I could completely trust him w my dogs. The yard kept em entertained and they seemed very happy to be there. Deffo will rebook w him”
“We just moved to Chicago and needed someone to watch our dog, Betty, on short notice. Olivia did so good with Betty and sent us lots of pictures and updates. Our dog loved her time with Olivia!”
“I have an anxious dog who takes a little time to adjust to new people and places. Megan was calm and kind, adjusting to Sammie’s needs to help her feel comfortable. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Katie and Java did a good job sending photos and updates. Katie is pleasant to work with and was flexible in allowing me to pick up my dog a day early. Thank you Katie !”
Uptown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Natalia was communicative, responsive, and went above and beyond. She set up a time for Bella and Rupert to meet prior to our booking to make sure they got along, and she even let me extend an extra night last minute after I realized I had booked the wrong dates! Rupert had a great time and came home happy and exhausted.
Melissa was absolutely wonderful and my dogs loved staying at her home. She was very quick to respond to my last minute request, and provided multiple updates and sent pictures of the dogs while I was away. I already have another booking scheduled with her and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Maddie is the best. My dog immediately bonded with her (the very second they met). She took such loving care of him, both in her home and taking him on long walks. And I appreciated that she kept me updated with photos, was patient and flexible while I figured out my schedule, and generally a very nice human. I would highly HIGHLY recommend Maddie for anyone who needs daycare and boarding. Your dog will be in excellent hands!
I can’t explain how flexible Keeley was. My grandma passed away suddenly and without hesitation, Keeley offered to watch Bane. She provided daily updates and took tremendous care of him. I highly recommend her our professionalism and flexibility while understanding is unbelievable. Thank you so much for everything during a difficult time in my life. Once again I highly recommend her
Susan was fabulous!! She took great care of my gal, sent daily updates and pics and was super responsive and friendly. This was the first extended stay away from our family for our dog and she had a blast playing with Isla (Susan’s dog) and then snuggling up for some rest time together. Will definitely book with Susan again!
This was the second time we booked with Katie and our pup was so excited to see her again. Our flight was delayed for 2 days and I really appreciate Katie's flexibility to accommodate our schedule change. Communication was also great. I would happily book again.
We loved our experience with Amalia and will absolutely hire her again. She takes excellent care of her Rover dogs with great walks and plenty of space, communicates reliably before and during Roma’s stay, and even did a meet-and-greet ahead of drop-off to make sure it was a good fit.
