“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!”


“Sky was the absolute bestttt with my dog while she spent the week with her. Great communicator and very understanding. My dog had so much fun, she came back home so worn out. Definitely booking her again soon!”

“When Noodles is with Doug and Deb, we rest easy on our trips knowing he is well cared for and entertained. We’ve experienced short stays and a longer stay recently for one week. I love to see how responsive he is with them, telling me he enjoys spending time in their home. The pictures we receive from Doug & Deb show Noodles around their home, happy and content. Doug & Deb are truly amazing and a stay with them feels like being at home!”

“Ian took SUCH good care of my 1.5 year old bernedoodle for 3 weeks when I was traveling for work. I had so much peace of mind knowing my pup was getting lots of care, play time and super long, scenic walks every day! Ian was super communicative and sent pictures of Banksy multiple times a day, which I very much appreciated. He told me about the couple of other dogs that he watched as well and how Banksy got along with each. Ian really is thoughtful about how the dogs interact together and makes sure they have safe, supervised play and will give them space, if needed. I know Banks absolutely LOVED being there and was sad to leave! I will 100% be reaching out to Ian the next time I go out of town.”

“Julia was absolutely amazing! She took my girl Luna on a last minute notice, and treated my dog like her own. She sent me several updates and made sure my dog was having a great stay. She also gifted Luna with a ball which was really nice. So thankful to have found a great sitter. Thank you julia!”

“Sophia and Andy were incredible. From the first time we met them, we knew our dog would be in great hands. They easily handled our dog’s personality quirks (both cute and obnoxious) and sent all the photos we needed to know that he felt at home while he stayed with them. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“He provided wonderful care and lots of exercise for my pup Galway. She came home wiped out and had a great time! Thank you for your great care!!”

“This is the second time we have had Rico take care of our dog for the weekend and we felt so great knowing that Odin was in such good hands. Rico sent lots of pictures each day and truly made Odin feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We highly recommend Rico and his wife!”

“Chad and his wife were wonderful! This was our first time having them watch our high energy dog, and we will definitely be booking again! They took such great care of Finly - daily walks and even treat/ training time! We loved the regular updates, including photos and video throughout his stay. Thanks again, both! Finly so appreciated all of your care and play time!!”

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”


“Jeff and Ron took care of our standard, 4 1/2 year old Bernedoodle. It was our first time leaving her and we were cautious in who we chose to care for her. Jeff. And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway. Jeff’s friendly demeanor with us and our pup put our minds at ease. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“Tammy was great! She took great care of our pup and he seemed to really enjoy hanging out with her. She also sent a bunch of cute photos throughout the day. We’ll definitely be using her again next time we need a sitter!”

“Sensational!!!! My Nessie was immediately accepted into John and Ryan's healthy and happy home and I am beyond grateful as at the last minute I needed boarding for her with a minor complication. John and Ryan truly are the best and pure animal lovers. THANK YOU TWO!!! Can't say enough~”


“Our dog stayed for a week with Jennifer and it was great. She was prompt in communicating, sent frequent updates, and our little guy had a fine time with her and Tiny. We will use Jennifer again the next time we travel.”

About: I was the cat girl growing up. All my birthdays were cat themed, all I cared about was cats, even my first username ever was kitties81192. When my dad (finally!) got cats when I was in high school it was a big deal. Since then, I have owned, rescued, as well as fostered my own kittens. I have 6 years of experience working in the pet industry as a pet sitter and have learned many things about cat behavior and care. Many of my past long term clients were cats. I even tried training one of them to do tricks, with some success! I have administered oral medication as well as injections, and cared for special needs or old cats that can't groom, eat, or get around as well anymore. I've looked after all types of personalities, from ferals to lapcats. The more mundane tasks of cat care like scooping litter or changing water filters, etc. are all a part of the whole package and I am happy to help out with any tasks needed to make sure they're comfortable and healthy. I believe in leaving the place just as good or better than when I found it, and take special care to be careful with entering and leaving just in case they're feeling a little adventurous. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions!

“Kai was amazing with my senior grouchy cat. They were excellent with my cats medicine needs and found a way to break through my cats grouchy shell. I would go back to Kai with future visits.”

“Amanda is awesome! She was punctual, communicative and sent the best photos! It was our first time away from our kittens and it was so reassuring to see them happy and well cared for. I'll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive catsitter!”


“Patrick is very reliable responsible and kind. He communicates I felt so comfortable with him as well as my babies. They loved him. Will definitely rebook when needed. Highly recommend Patrick!”


“This is my second time having Karli check in on my cats and she did a great job, again! She was flexible, communicative, and was even able (& kind enough) to accommodate my last minute request for an extra check in visit when our flight was going to arrive really late. Thanks, Karli!”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha. I moved to Chicago in late 2018 and spent my first year here walking dogs for three different companies, while also building up a group of regular clients through Rover. In early 2019, I started walking a sweet, three-legged Black Lab named Bo and eventually began boarding him several weeks each month while his dad traveled for work. Sadly, we lost Bo in April 2021, and his passing left a big hole in my heart. Not long after, I began fostering a three-legged pittie named Abby and ended up adopting her in July 2021. When I first adopted her, my only request at the shelter was that she get along with other dogs. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case as she had a very traumatic history, so I no longer offer boarding. However, I’m still happily available for walks, drop-ins, and occasional in house stays! I can work with all different ages, handle senior care, and have helped with puppy training. I work in higher ed but have a very flexible schedule. My boss is aware that I pet sit on the side and allows me to work remotely when needed. Every family I have worked with has been different depending on their needs. I am experienced in crate training, free roaming, or setting up boundaries to help keep animals safe. I also am familiar with all different collar/leash/harness types and feel comfortable navigating with and around dog reactive animals.

“We were nervous about our first Rover booking and having someone new care for our sweet girl, but couldn’t be happier. Parisa is thoughtful, communicative and we arrived home to a happy and well-cared-for kitty. We’re so thankful to have found her!”


“Katherine was great! She kept us informed with pictures and detailed updates every day on how our cats were doing, and our timid girl even felt comfortable enough with her to come out of hiding.”


“Cindy was fantastic! Very compassionate and took great care of my super elusive senior kitty. I was initially a bit anxious to go out of town but felt totally at ease knowing Cindy was taking care of Lola. I would definitely rebook again and would also highly recommend her to anyone else.”

“Sydney is the best! Leaving your furry friends is never fun, but I have so much trust in Sydney that she will take the best care of them. We love getting her updates and photos and having the reassurance that they are safe and being cared for is the best feeling.”


“We had Ryan watch our two cats while we went abroad for about 10 days. He gives detailed reviews of his visit, lots of pictures, and our cats liked him a lot. We will be rebooking with Ryan if he is available for future traveling.”

“Ellie took fantastic care of my cat Rufus. Her updates were very detailed and she took plenty of great pictures. I have already booked with her twice and would not hesitate to book again or recommend her to any of my friends with pet sitting needs!”


“If I could give Hannah more than 5 stars- I would. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for her amazing communication, careful attention to detail, and figuring things out on the fly while putting up with my cats when they decided to be naughty. Truly, one of the best experiences I've had with a house/pet sitter. Honestly, if I needed her all the time, I would have her here constantly! haha. Honestly, she left my house in better condition than when she arrived! ?”


“Chris is really nice and professional. He took care of my two cats while I was overseas. They liked him immediately. Chris was great about giving me specific details about how my boys were doing.”


“As always, Yara was wonderful looking after Minerva & Eleanor. She stayed over a couple nights, and looked after the house well as well - even super patient and helpful when we encountered a couple home issues with our front gate, and our water fountain, etc.! Thank you!”


“Hannah did a fantastic job taking care of my cat on super short notice. Super attentive to his social needs and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash. Thank you!!”


“Tiffani was so great with our two cats for drop in feedings. One of my cats is not very nice and they got along just fine and he even let her get a quick pet here and there. They got lots of playtime and pets and I got lots of fun photo and video updates. Thanks Tiffani!!!”

“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”

“I almost wanted to gatekeep Nicky because he’s that good! He takes amazing care of my dog, Juno, and I never have to worry when he's with him. He’s reliable, caring, communicative, and it’s obvious he genuinely loves animals. Juno is always happy, relaxed, and excited to see him, which says everything. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pet, I can’t recommend Nicky enough”

“Sarah and Walter took great care of my little guy. He felt really comfortable there and made himself at home. He had a good time and became Walter's shadow and his new BFF. Thanks so much guys!”

“Chachi had a wonderful time at day care. He got along very well with everyone even though he was a late arrival to the pack today but he got along just fine and everyone loved him. He shared a bed with a sweet little dog who was missing a leg. Chachi likes the big yard to roam around; he's older so he does not play but he still likes the opportunity to go free in the fenced in yard. Ian can well accommodate little ones, big ones and handicapped ones all together for a nice time to be had by all. Ian offers food on time and often, sets out clean full water (I know other places that do not set out water the whole day) and he accommodates each individual dog's needs.”

About: I have been a house and pet sitter since High School while working at a vet’s office and all throughout college and many years after. I love a good pet therapy session to keep stress levels down for me and the animal. I have two cats of my own and know how important it is for them to get interacted with throughout the day when we aren’t around, as well as when we have our own overnight commitments to attend. I would be honored to get to spend a little time with your fur baby when needed! I am a fun loving, easy going, and pet (and treat) giving cat mom who loves both cats and dogs! I can’t wait to meet all the incredibly adorable animals possible through this opportunity. I am quite the stimulating pet parent! My cats even knows some commands and tricks. We love some treat giving, toy searching, and you playing in my house! I work for Rover fulltime, so I am always here. I have enough space, and gates to keep 3-5 dogs at a time, if the family is comfortable with other friendly dogs being in the same house with them. I walk all separately unless they are from the same family or the dogs are really good friends. We take about 5-6 walks a day around the neighborhood ranging between 20-30 minutes depending on the weather of the season, and even have a deck with a piece of “grass” where older pets can use the restroom easily or if it is raining, for a quick potty break. We have water in every room of the house, we love to give treats, have crates and gates for alone time if needed, and there is always an opportunity to sunbathe in our house or on our deck.
About: I do take up to 4 clients at a time, so I can only accept dogs that get along well with other dogs. I am doing Rover full time. Which means more time to spend on walks, playing and affection time ! I won't be distracted with any electronic device, when outdoors with your dog. I don't smoke, drink or party. I grew up caring for a couple amazing dogs. I've taken care of my brother's, neighbors and friends dogs. I love being outdoors and being active, so if your dog has alot of energy, he'll be sleeping like a baby by the end of the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I'm looking forward to making memorable moments with your dog(s). I can take your dog on an hour long early morning walk/run near a park close to where I live, so we can also play ball, Frisbee or with a toy! Then I could take your dog to 1-3 additional walks throughout the day. I try to make the dog feel at home,by being calm and trying to understand his/her body language, quirks and personality. Giving them affection and playing with them, but also some alone time.

“Arlene pup-sat our lovely 3 month old puppy, who came home happy and tired. I would recommend her for all ages. She is a warm, caring person and I felt that our pup was in good hands.”

“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”

“David was great with our pup Chase. He's usually very shy and slow to warm up to people. However he really took to David and Pinto super quickly. David shared pictures and videos of them playing and sleeping throughout the day. I would definitely recommend him for any dogsitting needs.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 12 years. I treat my puppy like a family member and will do the same for yours! Since they are family they are allowed on the couch and will get plenty of belly rubs & cuddles. I work from home. My pup and I go for a walk through the park or around the neighborhood first thing at 7:30 am and then usually breakfast is serve. We go back four our next walk at 11:30/12 then we go out again after work at 5pm. This one’s a longer walk and we follow that with play time and dinner. :) That is followed by cuddles. I will send you super cute updated images so you can see what fun your fur baby is up to :) . I also have a fenced small backyard incase your pup wants to do some light leash free jogging with me.
“Lio's first stay with Amy was a real success....he felt right at home with her warm and caring manner and it was obvious to me that her house is genuinely a place were dogs are genuinely liked and appreciated. I hope this first experience will offer Lio and I a reliable, safe, and consistent source of daycare and boarding in the future. Thanks! Luisiana”


“We really appreciated Stacey’s flexibility and her calm, friendly manner with our anxious pup, who had fun exploring and playing on her daycare visit. Thanks for making it such a pleasant stay for our sweet girl, will book again!”

About: Hi fur-parents, Pick me and lll promise you I’ll love your fur-babies like my own. I have several years experience with walking, and sitting dogs . I’ve also been educating myself on dog training and been practicing those skills on my own dog. I know trusting a stranger with your fur-baby is hard, so I’ll make sure to keep you posted with cute pictures and a quick text on how they’re doing throughout the day. I’m smart and trustworthy, and leaving your pets to my care will be an easy going experience. I guarantee you that. That way you can focus on work or enjoy your vacation without the unneeded stress of wondering how your pet is doing. There's no time to waste so let’s meet up! I’m looking forward to hearing from you. I am currently taking online classes to get my degree, so my schedule is very flexible so I can dogsit during the weekdays and weekends. I have a dog that loves to play and will keep your dog entertained and tired by the end of the day. I also have a crate that I can use if any behavior gets out of hand
“My shy, anxious beagle had a blast at Valerie’s, didn’t want to come home! I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!”

“Baby girl loved Leeraz! She sent my husband and I lots of photos of her getting cuddly and wanting some human food. Baby girl had so much fun she fell asleep in the car. Will definitely use her again!”

“great communications, right on time, dogs were happy and felt good to go with Walter, who has a very calm energy. Will hire again if we are back in Chicago.”

About: I have four American bullies. One orange tabby cat. And one turtle I like animals more than humans. And I am completely OK with that. I’m currently working part time. My availability is usually open during the week anytime after 6 PM. And my weekends are clear. I love pets and I will treat them as if they were my own family. Pets are welcome on couches and beds. Whatever makes them as comfortable as they can be. They can cuddle and get as many belly rubs as they want.
“Desiree was so thoughtful and went above and beyond to take care of the dogs (and my cat despite me not mentioning him)! The pups and I feel very very taken care of!”
About: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve always loved animals and I’m excited to provide safe, reliable, and loving care. I’m patient, responsible, and I carefully follow each owner’s instructions to make sure every pet feels comfortable and happy. I enjoy walking and spending time outdoors, and I’ll treat your dog like family. I’m committed to providing updates, photos, and great communication during every visit. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being active, so dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine. I have time to provide focused attention during walks and drop-in visits, making sure each pet gets the care, exercise, and affection they need. During walks and drop-in visits, I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, water, exercise, medications (if needed), and routines. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unattended during our time together. I’ll also send updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

About: I’ve been the long term walker for a rowdy pit bull, pet sitter for a house of 2 large dogs and 4 cats, and care taker of a high maintenance poodle. I’ve always loved animals and I love making them feel comfortable and happy! I am free pretty much all week with the exclusion of a few hours to see my own cat and go to the gym. I love being outside and lounging so whatever your pet is into I’m perfectly prepared. I have experience in feeding, grooming, playing, lounging, walking, and many others. I’m also a fast learner so any task you give me I will happily accept.
“Chase is the best dog walker Ive ever had! His love of animals is obvious. He’s personable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond what is expected of him. I thank my ‘lucky stars’ I found him!”

“Parisa did a great job walking my two boys. She was very communicative and I didn’t have to worry about them all day long. I would definitely have her walk my dogs again.”

“Michelle is fantastic with Milo! Always punctual, gives great updates, and clearly cares about Milo. Milo loves her, and we feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Chris is amazing! I love the notes and attention to my puppies. They warmed up to him and you can tell how much he cares. I love his constant communication and ability to make my dogs feel safe. Thank you!!!!”

“Salem loves Obie and I couldn’t be more grateful! They were a joy to have over for a little meet and greet with my pup Obie. He is an opinionated sassy cattle dog and would not do well with a stranger coming in unannounced! Fortunately, he loves Salem and is getting more confident each walk they do. They always give me picture and text updates while walking! I could be happier with our new dog walker ! Thanks Salem!”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up caring for them by feeding them, walking them, playing with them, and giving them lots of love and attention. I also worked with children for 7 years, which helped me develop strong responsibility, communication skills, patience, and the ability to stay calm and caring in different situations. I understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine because I’m available throughout the day and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m flexible with walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention and care. My schedule is open during the day until 3. Unfortunately if no response from pet owners ahead of walk etc I will not walk dog. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well attended to at all times. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely by providing walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, attention, and any specific instructions requested by the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of companionship and exercise while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress free.

“Absolutely amazing! It is always scary leaving town knowing you have a reactive pup waiting for you at home. Tiffani was great, communicative and flexible. I definitely feel more at ease now for work travel knowing someone is in Piper’s corner.”


“Had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Lilana. I was a little anxious to use the service, but Liliana has been a delight and very communicative. Will be booking her services again.”

He told me about the couple of other dogs that he watched as well and how Banksy got along with each. Ian really is thoughtful about how the dogs interact together and makes sure they have safe, supervised play and will give them space, if needed. I know Banks absolutely LOVED being there and was sad to leave! I will 100% be reaching out to Ian the next time I go out of town.”

“Sophia and Andy were incredible. From the first time we met them, we knew our dog would be in great hands. They easily handled our dog’s personality quirks (both cute and obnoxious) and sent all the photos we needed to know that he felt at home while he stayed with them. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“He provided wonderful care and lots of exercise for my pup Galway. She came home wiped out and had a great time! Thank you for your great care!!”

“This is the second time we have had Rico take care of our dog for the weekend and we felt so great knowing that Odin was in such good hands. Rico sent lots of pictures each day and truly made Odin feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We highly recommend Rico and his wife!”

“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”


“Jeff and Ron took care of our standard, 4 1/2 year old Bernedoodle. It was our first time leaving her and we were cautious in who we chose to care for her. Jeff. And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway. Jeff’s friendly demeanor with us and our pup put our minds at ease. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands!”

“My dog Waylon stayed with Sarah and Walter for daycare and boarding over the last two months and I cannot recommend them enough. I got plenty of updates and they treated Waylon like he was their own. He loved staying with them so much that he would run in as soon as they opened the door. Thank you so much!”

“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”

“Makda and her family are wonderful!! This was my first time using Rover and leaving my puppy with someone over night. I was beyond nervous and Makda immediately made me comfortable and was extremely responsive the entire weekend. Archie had a blast and we have already scheduled another stay with Makda!”


“Arlene was a great sitter for our energetic puppy. This was our first experience leaving our puppy for an extended period of time, and having our puppy stay with Arlene was the best thing we could have done. She was very attentive giving Bailey frequent walks and kept us updated with daily pics. We’ll be sure to use Arlene again!”
“Lech was great! He was very communicative, quick to respond, and always provided updates! Lots of pics and videos which is always fun to see. Our pup had a great time with Rizzo and the other doggies during his stay. Highly recommend!”
“Christine did an absolutely amazing job watching our 5-month old puppy! She sent photos and updates throughout the day, had lots of supplies so we didn’t have to pack too much, and even sent him home with an adorable Polaroid and treat bag. 100% your pup is in the right hands with Christine!”
