“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”
“Chad did a great job looking after my boy Ozzie while I was on a quick work trip. He was extremely flexible when my flight and bag got delayed. Overall, a great experience having him watch my pup!”
“Megan did an amazing job making Poppy feel right at home, so much so that Poppy almost didn’t want to leave! She was quick to respond and sent pictures throughout the stay, including pics of our dog playing and snuggling with hers (they became fast friends). We would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter who will make their dog feel like part of the family!”
“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~”
“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!”
“Adam and Keit came in clutch when our originally scheduled sitter no-showed last minute. They were gracious and understanding, and took great care of our dog.”
“Joerg and Lake were so great to Kobo! I was updated everyday with photos. They answered any questions promptly. They exceeded my expectations! I am happy that Kobo and Elizabeth got along and became the best of friends. Thank you!!!!”
“We moved to Chicago a year ago from Milwaukee and used our sitter there before. It is too time consuming to travel to Milwaukee to take Lily to her sitter before our trips, so we decided to find one in Chicago. We booked Irene through Rover based on her excellent reviews. We decided to let them get to know Lily before we leave her with them for our long travel at the end of this month. It worked very well. I met Ronnie when we left and picked up Lily. He is a very nice person and I can tell he loves dogs very much. Irene and Ronnie treated Lily like their own. They sent her pictures frequently. We can tell that Lily was happy there with Irene and Ronnie. Hopefully her longer stay will work as well even better. We highly recommend them.”
“Mikey is amazing. He was scheduled to take our 6 month old puppy for 2.5 weeks while we were out of the country. Two days before we left, our puppy (Freddie) got pneumonia. Mikey still agreed to take him without batting an eye, despite now needing him to stick to a strict med schedule and tending to all his needs while he recovered. We came home to a healthy puppy, and Mikey gave us daily updates of Freddie and nursed him back to health while we were gone. We are forever grateful for him!”
“This was our first visit with Marcos and it was 10/10 excellent! Walter came back happy; and the best photos of him were taken during the stay. Thanks, Marcos!”
“Sharon was fantastic with our bernedoodle. She was very responsive, took her on plenty of walks even when the weather wasn’t great, and made sure she got lots of fetch-her absolute favorite! We really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, and it was clear that our dog quickly felt comfortable and became part of Sharon’s pack. Her dog Berry was also incredibly sweet and a great companion. We’d absolutely book with Sharon again and highly recommend her.”
“Diana and Scott are wonderful. Ruby has stayed with them several times and she's always comfortable and happy at their home. They're communicative and kind and make traveling so easy, never having to worry that Ruby is receiving the best care.”
“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!”
“Abigail and Chris were wonderful sitters! I was nervous as my dog takes a while to warm up to new people, but I got lots of great photos, and she always looked so comfortable and I knew she was well cared for.”
“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.”
“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”

“Kelly was great and super communicative! It was really nice to go away and know my girls were in such great hands. Plus the pictures everyday made us so happy!”
“Kristen was so great during our stay! She was extremely flexible when we had to add a visit last minute and super communicative. She also helped us out when we had some house issues and was able to ensure our babies were comfortable and warm. Will definitely be used again in the future! Thank you Kristen!”
“Delaney was the BEST! She went above and beyond and has definitely been one of the best cat sitters we’ve ever had. Our cats clearly loved her based on the pictures. We hope to have her watch our cats again soon!”
“Brooke was so sweet and responsive! She asked great questions before I left for my trip, and always was quick to answer any of my messages. She also is clearly very comfortable with cats, which considering mine is a little bit of a princess, I really appreciated!”
“Lauryn was timely and communicative while checking in on Dipper (and even cleaned up a knocked over plant - gotta love cats). I would recommend her if you're in need of someone to swing by!”
“Tabitha did a fantastic job watching our two cats while we were away for five days. She was prompt and communicative, and she shared descriptive updates with truly excellent photos—well love getting more than 1 or 2 pictures to see what the cats are up to while we are away, and Tabitha really delivered. It’s always hard to leave your pets, but we felt truly comfortable knowing that Tabitha was checking in each day. We’d 100% recommend Tabitha and will use her again!”
“Claire is an amazing cat, fish, and house sitter! She's great with communication to include sending pictures of our cat. She's very tidy and always leaves the house cleaner than she found it. Highly recommend!”
“Jess was a great, communicative, and very attentive sitter! My cat requires daily medication, but that was no issue for her. We certainly hope to book with her again in the future!”
“Jessica is really sweet and helpful in looking after my cat. She is excellent in understanding the instructions just through messages. I'm impressed with her attention to detail in her reports and pictures. My cat is happy and she's very kind. I trust her and I will use her services again.”
“Katarina has cared for my cats twice & they’ve been well taken care of both times. She’s punctual & always provides plenty of information on the rover card.”
“Gail is the BEST! It was the first time that we booked her and it was for our 11 days long trip and we were nervous because our 2 four Y.O. kitties are very shy and one of them needs two liquid meds twice a day, and Gail was a new person in their life. Everything was great! Gail was loving, carrying, meticulously dispensing meds, etc. we always got cutest pics and good updates. Definitely will recommend her to friends and in general to anyone who needs help!”
“Ashlee took amazing care of our two cats - she was quick to respond and so helpful with our last minute booking. We got tons of pics each visit and she went above and beyond!”
“I was so anxious to leave our cat for the first time! Cierra eased all my worries and our little guy was so comfortable and happy with her! It was such a relief to have her care and support. I’ll definitely book again!”
“Mia was an amazing catsitter for my cat Figgy. Mia is so friendly and seems to have a great way with cats. She’s very conscientious and followed all the directions I left. Mia provides detailed updates and sends tons of photos, which I really appreciate. Figgy and I are so lucky we found her!!!”

“Our dog had a wonderful time at Megan's. She sent us photos while we we were gone which made us feel so much better. Would use Megan again when we come back to visit Savannah again.”
“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.”
“Mady is absolutely great! Theo loves Mady and makes us feel so much more comfortable to leave him with her while we are at work rather than at a busy dog place where they don’t really watch her. Theo is a puppy and has had some tummy problems and Mady was a champ helping him out during the day! Huge thanks to Mady and would highly recommend! - Anna”
“John & Ryan took wonderful care of my dog Newton! They sent a cute photo update and were very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Would highly recommend!”
“I found Rebecca last minute on Rover and truly couldn’t have had a better experience. She was so kind and communicative even before we met, and was willing to care for Luna with little notice. From the moment I dropped her off, she kept me updated throughout the day with the cutest pictures, which meant so much. I was pretty anxious leaving Luna with someone new, but Rebecca completely put my mind at ease. I knew Luna was in excellent hands the entire time. Highly recommend 🤍”
“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.”
“Stacy was a great choice for doggy daycare! She was super flexible if I was ever running late from work and took lots of adorable pictures of Chico. She took him on long runs and walks, so he always came home happy and tired. I’d highly recommend Stacy for any of your dog care needs!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for my whole life and trained both of my dogs! Throughout college I’ve taken various dog sitting jobs and will happily send my references. Love to go for long walks with dogs and spending lots of quality time together! When I am home from college, I have nothing but free time throughout the week to spend with dog(s)! I will plan for morning, afternoon, and evening walks with dog(s). I will plan multiple walks throughout the day with the dog(s) and feedings depending on the specified instruction of the owner. I also will also plan for plenty of quality time with them!
“Super responsive and flexible as I booked a day care for my cat during my moving day. They even dropped my cat off after which was so helpful after a long day! Their dogs and kids were super playful with Josie who was a little nervous at first. Definitely would book again!”
“Jiyeon took expert, careful care of my dog who is almost always a sweetheart but can also be a sudden handful! Her efforts meant my dog got a lot of time to socialize, too, which is a huge bonus.”
“Erick deserves every last bit of his star sitter status! He is so incredibly kind, so reliable, and dedicated to the paw parents and of course the fur babies! I feel so lucky that we have Erick! He’s completely apart of our family at this point. Thank you so much for everything Erick!!!!!!!!”
“Llama adores her days with Tara and her family. She's always wiggley with excitement in the morning approaching the front door! Tara has been extremely helpful, friendly and understanding. I Highly recommend her!”
“Dave was great! He was able to help us out with a last minute request which we really, really appreciated. He checked in with us during the stay, and our pup came home happy and worn out (all you can ask for!). Will definitely book with Dave again in the future!”
About: I have a one year old Australian Shepherd; she is the most loving and friendly dog that can get along with any dog.

I take my puppy Clover to the dog park at least once a day and for walks every few hours. We are a 10 min walk from the lake and love to go on lake walks! I have a super friendly Australian Shepard to play with your dog all day. She is filled with energy but can also respect your dogs space when needed!

“Kevin was great both with Hank and me, his Type A mother. First time entrusting him to a dog walker, Kevin kept me in the loop with text updates on his ETA and shared pictures and fun recaps of their time together. Would definitely recommend Kevin!”
“We found Sarah last-second after the Rover we had originally booked suddenly dropped out, and she couldn’t have been lovelier to work with. Our dog loved her instantly and she took such great care of her. We definitely plan on booking Sarah again.”
“Great first experience! Ashley was communicative and flexible with our requests, and punctual. And our boy seemed very content when we got back home. We will definitely book again!”
About: I have a 5 year old standard female golden doodle (Casey) who is a high-maintenance girly but a big ball of love & joy in my family! I am available Friday evenings after 4 and at any time on weekend days (Saturday and Sunday) to walk or dog sit your furry friend!

About: I have over a decade of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, including dog walking and dog-sitting. Personally, I grew up with dogs and love the joy they bring! I am a PhD student working on my dissertation, so I am relatively flexible with my time when I am not writing! Generally, I am available 7 days a week from morning to the evening. I want to ensure the most positive and safe experience for your pup, so please ask me what your needs are and we can work together to identify the best accommodation!
About: All my life, I have loved animals of every species but especially dogs and cats. I have experience caring for dogs of any size, age, or breed from the smallest ones, like Chihuahuas, to the largest, such as Newfoundlands or Great Danes. Caring for your pet is a responsibility I undertake with love, patience, and dedication. I want every dog to feel safe, calm, and loved while their family is away. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality, routines, and needs; I find it very easy to interact with any pet. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. Currently, my husband and I have two dogs a Chihuahua and a Border Collie so I understand that every pet receives love in its own way, What characterizes me most is that I am very patient and responsible with animals. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, thanks to my flexible schedule and strong time management skills. I am available throughout the mornings and for much of the day, which allows me to handle walks, home visits, and general care calmly and without rushing. I enjoy maintaining an active and responsible routine; as a result, I am able to dedicate quality time to each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. My priority is to maintain their routine and ensure they feel comfortable and safe in their own space. I make sure to follow each owner's instructions, including schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and any special care they may require. I also strive to provide them with attention, companionship, and patience so that they do not feel lonely while their owners are away. I treat each client's home with responsibility and strive to maintain a clean, tidy, and trustworthy environment for both the pets and their families.
“Rich was great with our pups. Came every day at the scheduled time, was super gentle and patient with our timid dog. Took photos. Was very responsive to any inquiry I made on Rover. Made sure they were secure in their crates when he left. We felt very comfortable leaving our pups in his care.”
About: I grew up babysitting from a young age, which sparked my passion for caring for others. That same love of caregiving naturally extended to animals, and I truly enjoy providing pets with the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. I work from home three days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to give your pet the attention they deserve! I am available for overnight visits as well! I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is maintained, so I’ll follow your care instructions closely and treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care I would my own. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. In my client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, medications if needed, and any specific preferences your pet has. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I have been caring and loving pets from a very young age. Throughout college I worked in hydrotherapy which greatly increased my knowledge of dogs. I am experienced in puppies, cats, needy, shy or older dogs. I always make sure that I can provide the animals with whatever they need, from cuddles, play time, walks and medication. From personal experience it is never fun to leave your furry friend behind so I understand how important it is for everything to be just right. I would love the opportunity to get to know any pet and provide them with love and care! I am currently working part time so my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment. If I can, I always try and help others out when it comes to pet care :) I currently don’t have any pets of my own in my apartment. When I am with my family pets they are the center of attention!
About: I treat every dog like family and genuinely love being outdoors with them. Your pet gets my full attention, every time, I’m all about quality care. I am a middle school teacher and I am currently on summer break! I joined Rover because I have some free time in the summer and would love to spend it with some dogs:) I have a very flexible schedule since I am not doing my main job at the moment. I currenly live in an apartment on the third floor with two roomates who also love animals. I have an outdoor green area with fake grass I can take animals out to use the bathroom and play. I am also not far from the lake and many parks! I love to stay active and go on walks so know your pet will be taken care of to the best of my ability!
“I have nothing but great things to say about the time with Rachel. She was timely, super considerate of my dog, took great pictures, and seems like she instantly formed a connection with him. I will be using her for all of my walks moving forwards and you’d be lucky to be able to do the same!”
“Leahna is a wonderfully dependable walker and pet sitter. She clearly puts genuine care and attention into every pet she looks after, and it shows. Our animals are always happy and excited to spend time with her!”
“Kiefer saved the day! Last minute late at night I requested a dog walker for the next day and he accepted. He was responsive, flexible, and listened to my requests. I greatly appreciated the photos and kind comment after the walk. Walking my 3 boys could be a handful and Kiefer ensured the boys enjoyed their walk! I’ve found my new walker! :)”
