“Jorge kept our dog safe and sound for about a week while we were on vacation. He looks like he had a fantastic time. We got a ton of photos and picked him up smelling clean and very happy. Highly recommended!”


“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! Jen is the best she has watched our baby twice now and each time he is excited. Will be using her in the future for sure. She is very accommodating and flexible. A+ sitter!”

“This was our second time leaving our dog Otis with Marcos and we will definitely be coming back to him! Otis makes a lot of friends and gets a lot of exercise. Marcos also is great with sending us photos throughout the day - would recommend!”

“Ian was absolutely fantastic with Satchmo. He was very communicative throughout the stay, sent plenty of pictures, and made sure Satch was well taken care of the entire time. This was our first Rover experience after moving to Chicago, and Ian made it a great one. Based on the updates and how happy Satch looked, I would recommend him to anyone. We will definitely be booking with him again.”

“Clarissa did a very amazing job of watching my dog. My dog got plenty of walks and attention and play time, and was definitely in good spirits when I came to pick her up after this stay. Clarissa is very easy to communicate with and sent me daily updates with pictures on how Coco was doing while with her and I greatly appreciated it. I highly recommend letting your pet stay with Clarissa and will most definitely be contacting her again to watch Coco in the future.”


“We just had our very first experience with dog boarding, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Megan! From the very beginning, Megan was communicative, caring, and incredibly thoughtful. She sent multiple updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear how much attention and love she gave my dog. Megan’s consistency and genuine care made all the difference. I truly felt like my pup was in the best hands, and I’m so grateful for the positive experience. Highly, highly recommend Megan and will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Kimberly took care of my dog for a week and was fantastic. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. My dog looked happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave. I’d happily have her watch him again.”

“Julia is the best! Our dog Brandy is always so excited to get to her house!! She loves playing with her dog Bambina and we love knowing she’s in great hands!”

“We are so grateful to Patrick for taking such good care of Daisy over Halloween weekend. He was always reachable and it appears that Daisy had a wonderful time with him. We will definitely keep Patrick in mind for future bookings!”

“Chad was amazing from start to finish. He was very understanding when we had a late drop off and late pick up. He was very welcoming and friendly when our dog initially met him. He communicated frequently with videos and photos and we feel confident that he treated our pet as his own. He even left us with a sweet handwritten note about our pet. We highly recommend his services and will definitely book Chad and his wife again.”

“Penny looks like she had a nice time staying with Adam and we would use his services again (if he's available). He provided updates when requested and was transparent about an altercation Penny had with another dog (who surprised her). I recommend Adam as a sitter!”

“Another great stay with John, Ryan and Bruno! This was Bambi’s first extended stay (two weeks) and I’m so happy we found John and Ryan to be her sitters. She loves it there and Bruno is the perfect host and playmate. Communication was great and we received plenty of photo updates. Highly highly recommend- they will treat your dog as if they were their own and you will have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.”

“Rico is an excellent dog sitter for our dog Snow. He is reliable, he sent us daily photos of Snow. We feel so comfortable leaving our dog in their care. Our dog feels at home with them. They have a well-maintained backyard that Snow can play and run around. Rico loves hanging out with our pet and takes extra time to show some love and cuddles. We highly recommend him.”

“They were easy to communicate with and Bowie seemed to be having fun! They sent me pictures daily and were responsive. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with them and would use them again.”

“Katie was great! Chloe seemed like she had a fun time with her. Katie sent lots of pictures! We also were really grateful for how accommodating Katie was - our flight was delayed and she was so nice about us having to switch around pickup plans.”

“This was our first time working with a sitter, and Susan gave Gus the exercise, attention, and comfortable space he needed while I was away. Although at first when I left, Gus settled in, got in some walks with Susan, and overall did well -- and came home happy and calm - a testament to Susan's care. Thank you!”

“Osito’s stay was excellent as usual!! Abigail and Christopher are so attentive and communicative. Getting photos and updates from them while we’re away is the best part of each day! Plus I’m pretty sure our dog has a new best friend in Olive! 🥰”


“Meredith is wonderful! She was communicative, attentive, and caring to my sweet fur baby! She also sent lots of pics. Charly came home happy (and exhausted)! We will certainly be booking Meredith for future stays!”
“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”

“Cagatay pup-sat my 2 puppies, and they had a great Thanksgiving with him. He took really good care of them. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby!”

Uptown dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sage was absolutely incredible with my dog while I was out of town! He made sure to ask about any callouts I had, sent regular updates, and was overall super attentive to my dog's needs and varying energy levels. I also really appreciated his flexibility when my travel plans were disrupted a bit. I would be more than happy for my dog to stay with him and his partner again in the future.

Susan and Isla are the best! Oakley has stayed with them many, many times and is super excited to get there every time. Susan is a great communicator and is just wonderful with our dog. Despite a change in her work schedule, Susan was able to prioritize watching Oakley and shift some things around and we are so thankful!! With out a doubt we’ll be booking again soon.

Allison took excellent care of our dog for a long multi-week stay. Allison responded quickly to our query for the booking which we were anxious to arrange as this was going to be a long trip. She sent us daily updates with many photos so we knew our dog was in good hands and doing well. Our dog enjoyed her stay and wasn't anxious at all for her drop-off and pick-up. We'll definitely use Allison again and can strongly recommend her to others.

I am extremely satisfied with David. This was the first time I left my dog with someone for boarding, and I have nothing but positive things to say about the experience. David took excellent care of my dog, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. I was receiving photo updates every day, which gave me even more peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely continue to leave my dog with David in the future whenever I need boarding. Highly recommended!
