“I honestly cannot say enough good things about her. From the moment I met her, she was so warm, kind, and welcoming. She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and messages which gave me so much peace of mind while Prince was with her. She went above and beyond in the most thoughtful ways. She even made a little report card for him which was the sweetest touch ever. It’s clear she truly cares and treats the dogs like her own. Prince was so loved and well taken care of. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone genuinely kind, attentive, and amazing with dogs.”
“I'm so grateful for Iman! My senior dog got sick the day before my trip; she was flexible with the drop-off time so that I could get him to the vet before bringing him over. I'm always anxious about leaving my dog if he's not feeling well, but Iman is so attentive and communicative I had total peace of mind while I was out of town. When I picked up my dog he was in a great mood and his appetite was coming back. Thanks so much Iman!!”
“This review is about a week late, sorry. When we plan our vacations, our first step is to confirm Candace can watch our dog, Rocco. She is a super good dogsitter and you can tell our dog is very happy to be going there. We get pictures and updates every day. We always had anxiety leaving Rocco for several days however, since we found Candace we are much more relaxed going on vacation. Thanks Candace, Steve and Pumkin!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Janet was the best! I was nervous to leave my dog behind, but she eased my fears. She sent me pictures every day and her dogs welcomed my dog into their pack right away. He was sad to come home! I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful sitter. We’ll definitely be repeat customers! Thank you, Janet!”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
“This was my first time using Rover. When I met Kendra before the actual drop off day, I was confident that Rico would be in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the weekend of his progress. Thanks for putting my mind at ease! Will definitely us again”
“Megan did a great job with Winston - an eight month old Miniature Schnauzer puppy with plenty of energy. She is very patient, caring, and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely leverage her services again.”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Tanesha was wonderful! This was Midnight's first time with a sitter, so we were very worried. Tanesha sent us pictures and videos of Midnight throughout her stay. I can tell that she gave Midnight her undivided attention. We were very pleased with Tenesha, she treated Midnight if she was her own. We would definitely use Tanesha again.”
“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Our boy with separation anxiety came back from Kayla’s in much better shape than when he is boarded(not that they do anything wrong). Kayla responds quickly to any questions we have, and always keeps us updated with pictures! We would definitely be happy to send our guy to Kayla again.”
“My dear LGD heavens second mom and home. We’ve been with Stephanie more than 5x already and it’s amazing how my Pyrenees how’s to her and just runs to her with happy wiggly tails as soon as we drop her off. She is very much available to us and CEU thankful for that. She does makes sure heaven is taken cared, very clean and obedient . We highly recommend Stephanie and thanks so much for providing a second beautiful home to our dog everytime we’re out of the city!!🙏🙏🙏”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Thank you so much for taking good care of my Dazz, the videos and updates kept me at ease as I was in another country. Would definitely use your service again!”
“E is a highly communicative and caring Rover. She regularly tried different approaches to make my dog feel comfortable in a new environment. I would highly recommend.”

“Kathryn is a very conscientious worker, and the pet sitter of my dreams! She spent extensive time with my cat, way beyond my expectations. She gave Jim Cats by constant attention, and he loved her and looked content in the many fabulous photos she sent. I was thrilled to feel connected through these updates, and to see my cat luxuriating in the petting and good care. Kathryn also diligently communicated about house challenges and solved them— again, going above and beyond. She is very flexible, patient. understanding, and helpful. Somehow Kathryn also made time to leave the house in perfect condition, exactly as she found it. She is a fantastic worker and pet whisperer, and we hope she will come back many times in the future.”

“Couldn’t be happier with Toni! This is the second time she has taken care of our two senior cats. They have bonded with her more than we have ever seen them do with anyone but us. She is very communicative and a pleasure to work with!”
“My cat got such just before I needed to get to work. So grateful that Tara generously offered to check on him right away, when I put in a drop-in request. I’m encouraged by how much she cares for our pets, as if they are her own. She sent me updates and photos on his status, so I was reassured and able to focus on work. Thanks, Tara!”
“Kelera is absolutely wonderful. She was very attentive, detail-oriented, and timely in taking care of my fur babies while I was away. My babies warmed up to her instantly and we certainly won't hesitate to call upon her services again in the future. Kelera is the best!! 👍”

“I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️”
“Gionna is absolutely fantastic! My rescue cat, who rarely comes out for anyone except me, followed Gionna around the house while she visited. I have to believe that means she’s a wonderful person!”

In my client’s home I am happy to abide by any and all rules specified by the client, and ensure that their pet is happy!
“Meg is a lifesaver. My mom is very nervous about leaving her cats alone -- I was so happy to find someone as capable, responsible and reliable as Meg. Meg was wonderful with my mom's elderly cat, who adored her. She's so good with animals that even my mom's cat who's terrified of his own shadow came out for her! Thank you, Meg for everything!”
“Melissa is wonderful and our pets enjoy her care. She is reliable and very accommodating of our kids, pets, and general household disarray. Happy to recommend her! She walks our energetic 55 lb 1 yo several times a week, and has taken care of him and our two cats when we travel.”

Recently moved to Illinois where I now work for Alter Domus, an investment firm in Downtown Chicago and it’s work from home. I have all the time in the world to watch them !!

About: Tail-wagging care you can count on! I have 20 years of pet sitting experience with a wide range of pet personalities and temperaments and 25 years of loving my own fur babies as well. I specialize in pup care (housetraining, play based development, walk adventures), senior pet care (gentle handling, mobility support, medication administration), and special needs and rescue animals (with an understanding of anxiety, therapeutic support, and slow-trust building). I treat every pet like my own—with kindness, reliability, and plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. You can relax knowing your pet is not only safe, but genuinely cared for. :) I'm currently working part time from home so I prioritize caring for your pet with the same attention I gave to my own pets - making sure they’re happy, healthy, and safe while you're away. I have a fenced yard and an animal-friendly home. Currently we have three sweet kittens in the home (Luna, Notte, and Silvio) and, over the last few years, we had a dog Nala and two cats Namu and Malu that passed on after 15-17 years of life. I now have two children (my daughter is 7, and my son is 4) who love animals and are very gentle and caring. If your pet doesn't prefer children, please let me know and I wouldn't bring them with me to care for your pet. :)

About: I've had dogs in my home for 10+ years. I have been trusted to watch other people's 4 legged friends while on vacation. They are safe with me! I'm currently in the process of getting a job. I'll need to figure out my schedule so I can make time to walk the dogs. We have a fenced off area in our backyard. In the rest of the yard, I make sure dogs stay on their leashes. They are allowed to go wherever they want in my home with supervision.
“I recently adopted a rescue who is having a hard time adjusting to new people. Kathryn did a great job with him! Despite him growling at her she was patient with him and helped him calm down so she could walk him. She was reliable and understanding. I then asked her if she could come again last minute and without hesitation she agreed! I would definitely work with Kathryn again!”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of my furry and not so furry friends!! I grew up in a home full of dogs and a vast range of animals such as reptiles, amphibians, and other aquatic life etc. I’m currently working from home so my schedule is generally open as far as Monday-Friday. I’m available throughout the entire weekend as well. I like to keep the animals in my care on a schedule so they aren’t stressed, I prioritize (the animal’s) comfortability and structure because that’s just what makes sense. It’s my duty to ensure your furry friend can have fun AND be safe so please bombard me with any and all information!!!
“With the busy schedules my husband and I have, we use Melissa weekly for recurring walks. She is great about picking up extra walks when we need, so our fur baby has some consistency with all traveling I do for work. Bruno loves her and I love the peace of mind she gives us! Thanks Melissa for all you do!”
“Katie took such good care of our pup! She was so aware of how he was feeling while we were away for 5 days, did whatever she could to make him happy. Always posted pics and check ins. Very reliable as well!”
About: I have had and been around dogs since I was a child. Dogs seem to come to me naturally; without fear or hesitation. I honestly believe this is because I approach them with ease and am not forceful. It seemed like a natural step for me to join the Rover community. Ive also been a dog owner and currently have Jazzy who is my beloved Boston Terrier Mix with a big personality and sweet nature. Jazzy and I chose each other and its been an adventure ever since day one! she loves everyone but at times can be a little bossy. I'm well aware of who runs the household! I pride myself on ensuring that Jazzy stays healthy by giving her quality food and treats, Along with that she enjoys her fenced in yard and takes daily walks. We have lots of playtime and cuddles. I'll treat your dog as I would my own. That is my motto as I don't want you to worry or be concerned when you are away from your precious fur baby. I can't replace you, or would never try but rest assured your pet will receive all my tender loving care. I have had the opportunity to care for some dogs on Rover who have become regular clients. The owners have told me that they reach out to me first and hope that I am available. That is a huge compliment and I'm honored that I made such an impact on their four legged friend. All the pets I have met have their own unique personality and what I do as a sitter is simply take them for who they are which includes any little quirks. Canine or human, we all possess them. If you like what you see, let's schedule a meet and greet and see if I'm the right fit for your pet and their needs. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me and read my profile! I work remotely on a part time basis so can be available in the afternoon/evening and do pet sitting on the weekends away from my home. Well I make sure my dog Jazzy is loved and cared for each and every day. I give her good food and healthy treats. Daily walks and preventive meds to keep her healthy and strong.
About: Hi! My name is James and I used to have a dog named Banks who I first adopted back in 2015. I took care of him for many years until we had to sadly put down. My girlfriend and I love to take care of dogs as she currently works at an animal hospital and she always tells me about her experiences there. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was 10 and I am currently involved at 4 Paws for Ability where I volunteer with service dogs. I am a current college student so my schedule is very flexible during the summer and I can accommodate you and your pups needs! I’ve been handling dogs for years and currently walk and sit multiple dogs around my neighborhood. I love all furry friends and would love to be able to take care of yours! I’m currently working part time, but I have a very flexible schedule. I am free all day on weekends and would love to spend my time with your pups! I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of grass and a deck. With new clients, I like to schedule a meet and greet to go over all the details of the booking and any other important details.
“Iman was wonderful! I have never left my dogs before but had to in order to move. She was patient, truthful, transparent about her services, and most importantly KIND. I was a mess and she talked me through all the changes and what she thought was best for my animals. She was very professional when she met them and when we walked them. She came at all of her scheduled visits and spent time with them even sending me photos to keep me calm. Most importantly, the last photo she sent me of my little, old lady, I could tell that Leela was sad to see her new friend go. She really did a great job caring for my babies and even left me samples of her dog food. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!”
“My Stella and I were extremely happy with Margaret’s dog walking services. My Stella loved her at first sight. A sixty-one pound dog can be hard to handle and Margaret handled Stella with ease. Always willing to accommodate changed walking times, extremely reliable and very friendly. I plan on using Margaret in the future. Five star service for sure!”

“I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!”
About: I grew up in a home where we treat our dogs as family. I've cared for 4 dogs separately in my life time, 3 of which were via my parents home and one of which on my own in my first apartment in Chicago IL. Dogs almost never miss a beat with approaching you with so much love & joy when you come home and so I feel I should only do the same with how I care for them; i.e making sure their dishes are clean that they receive enough walks & play time for the day, that they also receive treats not just for good behavior but just because they're wonderful. My specialty is communicating with him or her of their needs and servicing them to satisfactory.

“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
“Megan did a great job with Winston - an eight month old Miniature Schnauzer puppy with plenty of energy. She is very patient, caring, and easy to coordinate with. I will definitely leverage her services again.”
“Tonisa was wonderful! She answered all of my questions regarding my pups stay. She made me feel very comfortable and well informed with pics and messages from the beginning all the way to the end. Tonisa & her daughter were amazing!”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Manuel was an amazing dog sitter for my pup, Swoosh, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care he provided. From the moment we connected, Manuel was responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. Throughout the stay, he sent me regular updates and adorable photos of Swoosh, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Swoosh looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was clear he was being treated like part of the family. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave to my pup. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again. Highly, highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“My dear LGD heavens second mom and home.

She is very much available to us and CEU thankful for that. She does makes sure heaven is taken cared, very clean and obedient . We highly recommend Stephanie and thanks so much for providing a second beautiful home to our dog everytime we’re out of the city!!🙏🙏🙏”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“E is a highly communicative and caring Rover. She regularly tried different approaches to make my dog feel comfortable in a new environment. I would highly recommend.”
“Sandy is absolutely the best. We were in a pinch to find someone to watch our dog Brutus and a bit nervous having to leave him with someone he wasn't familiar with, but he had a great time. Exceptional communication from Sandy, with lots of updates and pics. But most importantly our needy dog got lots of TLC. Definitely will book with her again. Highly recommend. A++.”
“Monae did an excellent job watching my puppy! She took him on a walk, gave him cuddles, & playtime! She even sent pictures videos! Thank you for watching my furbaby!! Milo had a wonderful time and enjoyed his sleepover !”
“I left my dog with Dara for 2.5 weeks and I did not worry about him at all. Finding a good Rover is tricky especially that my dog is reactive and can’t stay with other dogs. She consistently sent updates with photos and I loved hearing about his little quirks! I appreciate her celebrating his birthday too! I can tell that my dog had a great time, we highly recommend Dara!”
“Bola was great! Melo and her puppy Bryce had a super fun week! My Melo is a handful and then some and no complaints from Bola! He even ate her phone charger🤦♂️. Thanks Bola!”
“Donelle did a great job of taking care of Hershey! She returned my dog to me in even better shape than I could have imagined. I 10/10 recommend Donelle to pet sit and would book her again! She treated my dog like her own and went above and beyond, me and Hershey are very satisfied. She also has a beautiful home.”
“Tabitha kept my fur baby for 6 days while we were on vacation. She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, he had other fur babies to play with and she took him on lots of walks. He loves his walkies. I will definitely use Tabitha again.”
