“Tony was so great with our dog, Bean! Upon meeting him, our dog just walked with him and didn’t even look back! He also gave us constant updates - sharing photos and messages to make sure we know our dog is comfy and in great hands. We are so grateful that we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away!”
“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!”
“This was our first time our 6 year old dog, Kona, stayed over at another dog sitter's home. Our dog is anxious and slow to warm up to people. Jeff and Ron were very warm, welcoming, and patient with Kona. We received regular updates and pictures. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. We will definitely contact Jeff and Ron in the future!”

“Sophie has rescued our vacation. She was sweet, accommodating, took great care of our dog and updated us very well with pictures and videos. Although this was our first booking with Sophie, we'll be sure to come back, because she has been able to give us great peace of mind, while we were away.”
“He provided multiple updates and pictures. My dog was not only super excited to meet him, but looked happy and well taken care of in the pictures I got. I trust my dog was in great hands, and I'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Kim is responsive and friendly and sweet with my babies. She did some extra travel and pickup of meds I didn’t plan for without hesitation. Having her with my kitties gave me one less thing to worry about!”
“Kristina is an amazing sitter for my dog Birdie — I get plenty of daily updates, she has great stays and I always feel so comfortable and reassured when she stays with her!”
“She was wonderful with Hoover. Very gentle as Hoover is an older dog. She would carry her outside and dry her off and make sure she was warm during the unseasonably cold snap. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Rico and his family are great. They always take excellent care of Rye, and this past weekend was no exception. Rye came to them with some stomach issues, but they were still willing to watch him and took such great care of him! He loves being at their home.”

“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!”
“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”

“Bao was super great with my babies, Bean and Mapo. One needs to take oral meds daily, and Bao successfully gave it to him! We always struggle with finding someone who can confidently give meds to our toothless cat because it takes a little bit of time for him to get used to a new person. Bao took great care of my little ones who were well cared for and happy when we came back. Would def book with Bao again!! I highly recommend this great cat sitter!”
“Jenie has been wonderful! She was even able to get my shy senior cat to come out for some petting and brushing. I’m so happy and relieved to have found her! Thank you Jenie!”

“I’m so grateful for Coral’s careful and loving attention to my two kitties - I felt assured they were in great hands when I went out of town for the first time ever since adopting them. Loved the pictures and the updates.”
“Lee was very kind and professional! She visited our place to get the run down and meet our cat. She clearly knew what she was doing and even had a hand out with items she recommended owners leave out when she’s caring for your pet, which I found helpful. Lee sent pictures and updates everyday as we asked, and everything was well taken care of when we were gone. Thank you Lee!”
“Nicole is a kind and lovely person. She was able to come early in the morning as requested. She was a thorough communicator and she even cleaned up a couple of messes! She was meeting my cats for the first time and tried hard to connect. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Megan was amazing with our cat! We have never left Charlie for so long and are used to having friends or family watch him. However since we were leaving for a week for our wedding and didn’t have anyone staying in town to watch him, we tried booking through Rover. Megan came each day at the same time to give Charlie love, attention, and his wet food. She scooped his litter box and took pictures of him every day for us to see. Thank you!!”

“Rachel was an outstanding find on Rover and a wonderful match for my two senior cats while I was away. She was consistent with her schedule with two check ins daily and provided excellent notes with plenty of photos. I felt very comfortable booking Rachel after meeting her as she asked very thoughtful questions about the routine for my girls and had experience with senior cats. I could tell in her daily updates that she really cared about what my girls were experiencing. They even started looking forward to her visits and started to greet her at the entrance. Thank you Rachel for caring so much and understanding an owner's relationship with their pets.”
“Kayla did such a great job with our cats while we were away! She took lots of photos and left very detailed notes about how everything went. We are super grateful for her care!”

About: I have had a family dog my whole life. I was raised with a Golden Retriever and then had twos Daschunds. I now have my own dog that I rescued last year. She is a German Shepherd/ Great Pyrenees Mix. She is the sweetest thing in the world but she has a lot of anxiety. She is in every single way the perfect dog. She loves other dogs and is very friendly to them. I provide house sitting, dog boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Please note that all services provided at my house my dog would be present. My partner and I have a huge apartment with multiple rooms for all your dog's needs, and a fenced in back yard. I plan to take care of your dog just like I take care of mine. So no matter how big or small or how much anxiety they may have I am the one for the job. i'm currently going to school and run my own business. I have plenty of time to take your dog and my dog on a walk. Play with them and give the cuddles. and my partner is here to help as well. i have a fenced in yard and a big dog to keep your dog company. Three bedroom apartment for the dogs to run around. Plenty of space.

“amazing sitter!! bear had such a fun time and he was so tired from a day of playing i could tell how much he had fun. lots of pictures were sent and Amorah was so nice and attentive!!”

“Extremely happy with our experience! Melika was very caring towards our puppy and sent a lot of pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind. Would highly recommend her.”
“Baxter had a great stay with Buddy! My pup is a bit needy with some very specific requirements and Buddy was great with him. He sent a lot of photos, which gave me a lot of comfort, especially since this was his first time watching him. I will definitely book again!”
“Erica is an amazing dog sitter. I wanted Yeti to be in doggy day care at least twice a week. The commercial doggy day care places don’t really do much with the dogs but put them in a large room. A lot of the Rover options are with people who work from home, which I do. I want yeti to have activity. Erica plays with yeti. Her dog Phoenix is a delight. And Yeti comes home exhausted. He bonded with Erica the first day. I highly recommend Erica for watching your pets.”
“Brad was great! He sent pics and feedback. Made me feel very comfortable that my dog was getting all the TLC possible. I will be using him for my vacation stay.”
“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.”
“Andrew took great care of my dog. He was very responsive to my texts, and sent me a few adorable pictures of her having a good time. My dog came back happy and content. I will be back.”
About: I grew up around dogs and have always had a love for caring for them. While I haven’t been able to have a dog of my own due to occasional travel for work and family, Rover has been the perfect way for me to stay connected to what I love most (caring for pets). I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training my family’s cockapoo in obedience and showing her at the county fair for several years. I’ve also dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, including sweet senior dogs who need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making their day a little brighter. ⭐️ Unfortunately, I’m only able to board and do doggy day care for low-shedding/hypoallergenic dogs due to allergies in the home. ⭐️ I work fully remote, which means I’m home and available throughout the day to give your furry friend lots of walks, attention, and the love they deserve! 🤗 I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort by following their established routines. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I ensure pets are supervised and cared for how YOU request.
“Whitney is the best. My Cami loved her, she responded to her like a second mom. Cami has allergies and needs a tons of love and attention. This is my second time using Rover and i was so happy with Whitney. She is attentive, makes sure my dog was comfortable and cami looked happy and well fed. Her poops were healthyand there were no adjustments needed returning home its like she was leaving one home to the other.”
“Sky provided top notch care for Groot! Several picture updates and cute memes of them gave me confidence in her quality care giving skills. It helps that Groot came home super tired from all of their playtime! Will book again!”
“Emilie is a great dog sitter! She's conscientious, a good communicator and very caring. We have a senior dog and Emilie graciously adapted to his needs and abilities. We will be contacting Emilie again!”
“Tarin is awesome! He took great care of Queen and gave her lots of loving. Extremely easy to communicate with and just a pleasure in every interaction. I hope he will be available to watch Queen again as I know she is eager to get back. I recommend Tarin to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby. Thank you again, Tarin!”
“Michaela was very attentive to our puppy blue. Sent us pictures and updates all day. She took our request last minute and we are very grateful. Seems like blue had a great time.”

“Michelle was wonderful with our two French Bulldogs. She was very respectful, responsive and communicative. She helped us out last minute and it was much appreciated. Thank you Michelle.”
About: I have had dogs all my life growing up. In high school I would regularly pet sit for multiple days for neighbors. In college my roommate (who is a veterinarian student) and I fostered cats with a variety of needs and I would assist with feeding and medication. As a recent Loyola graduate still looking for a full time position, I have lots of time to spend walking, playing with and caring for pets. My schedule is very flexible and can be adjusted to your needs. I will follow all guidelines set by pet owners. I ask all owners leave a vet contact and general instructions on how to best care for your pet(s). I provide walking services, home visits, and sitter care.
About: Experience dog sitter with access to the beach and several parks. I enjoy spending time with animals and provide excellent care and communication with owners. I am a teacher, so I have summers off. I am free to provide ample time to support your pet and provide a fun and engaging visit. Pets are extensions of their owners, so I treat pets with care. I have access to several spaces for dogs to get their energy out. In home, I have designated spaces but provide ample room for pets to explore.
“Josephine is the sweetest, this is my first time using the service and she helped me to make sure I was doing everything on my end correctly and Niko immediately took a liking to her as soon as them met. I would definitely rebook with her again! It was such a last minute request and I’m so thankful she was able to assis!”

“Alex was wonderful walking our dog Max. We are happy for his next adventure but sad to see him go. Hopefully he’ll be back around- we would definitely have him be our Rover again!”

“Kaitlan helped us in a pinch and was great with our senior dog. We met beforehand for a meet-and-greet so I could walk her through our dog's needs and quirks. She was patient with him and communicated well before, during, and after each walk. I trust Kaitlan and she will be the first person I reach out to if I need another dog walker in the future.”
“Kristine was awesome. She walked Jax over lunch for me and was patient when we were having key issues. She was very understanding and was determined to get Jax his walk despite key difficulties.”

“This was our first time using DogVacay and we are blown away at the ease of using this service, but most importantly blown away with our experience with Darla + Greg. They responded quickly to our meet and greet request and once we met the hosts and their lovely dog, Shandy, we knew this was the best place for our Penelope to stay. The hosts were very accommodating to the special needs of our dog (i.e. medication) and sent us regular text/photo updates. We enjoyed our trip out of town immensely because we knew our pup was in good hands. They have great yard and space in their home. Penelope had a great time, and we were afraid she may not want to come home when we picked her up! We will definitely reach out to Darla + Greg again in the future. Thank you!”

We were nervous leaving her after she had just gotten some slight stomach problems right before we went out of town, but Coni assured us she was able to handle it.

Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
