“Ashley was great! She sent lots of updates and helped reassure me that my little girl was in good hands. She was very considerate and only accepted additional bookings for dogs that she thought would get along well with my pup. Overall, I was very impressed with Ashley and would highly recommend!”
“Ann did an excellent job dogsitting. She communicates effectively and thoroughly. She sent updates and pictures. Drop-off and pick-up was smooth. Classy was so happy after his visit. Thank you, Ann.”
“I’ve booked with Kyla three times now and she’s been phenomenal! She’s very communicative and always sends pictures and updates on how Koda is doing and getting along with the other pups. She’s also very attentive to his behaviors (eating patterns, socializing etc). Koda is happy to be dropped off and also if happy and tired out when I pick him up. I would highly recommend booking with Kyla!”
“Michael and Joanna were great. The communication was wonderful. They were very accommodating for Sunny and all of his energy. He got to play lots and they kept me updated with tons of pictures throughout his stay. I felt that he was safe and loved during his time with them. I would definitely recommend them & rebook when I need them again.”
“Ania was great! Very professional, kind and reliable sitter. Simba had a wonderful stay with Ania! Lots of photo/video updates, I can see my dog was truly well taken care of! Will definitely book with her again in a future 💕”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
“Angel took great care of Bean while we were gone for our extended vacation. He was very flexible on dates/times and communicative about how my dog Bean was doing while away.”
“Jennifer is excellent!! Total lifesaver taking my dog at the last minute for several days while I was out of town. I loved the videos and pics!! So nice to know our dog was having as much fun as we were 😊😊😊”
“Niamh was the sweetest with my pup! I last minute needed to bring him on a work trip to Chicago and she instantly put me at ease, knowing we wouldn't be able to do a meet n greet beforehand. From the video call, to dropping him off, Niamh was very communicative and provided updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her if you are in the Chicago area or traveling with your pet and need someone reliable to watch them!”
“Magdalena took incredible care of Remi and Spud while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, and sent great photo updates each visit. Remi and Spud were calm, well-fed, and happy when we got back. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Magdalena in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!”
“Per usual, Cocoa was in the best hands with Christina. She loves going over, so much so she dragged me there this time. I love all the updates and never have any second thoughts dropping her off with Christina!”
“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”
“The experience with Monica and Calvin couldn’t have been better. This was the first time boarding June, our dog, and since the first interaction with them we felt very comfortable. They were very knowledgeable and communicative with us. They sent us very detailed daily updates with photos and videos. This was an amazing experience, and without a doubt we will reach out to Monica and Calvin again if we need to board our dog.”
“Barbara was amazing! I needed a sitter last minute on the weekend and Barbara was so responsive and accommodating. My dog is incontinent and has separation anxiety and he was taken care of so much with Barbara. She has worked with incontinent dogs which was such a help. She sent me many updates throughout the day including photos and videos, bathed my dog, and made him feel at home. He even got some fun treats. I will definitely be using Barbara again :)”
“Thankful. Very positive and seamless experience. My sitter cancelled last minute and I reached out to E K. And within minutes we set up an appointment to meet my pup. After, she gave me a set of instructions for the morning and everything went smoothly. As a firefighter, family is everything to me and Pongo is my comfort dog. To know he was taken care of through out the day made my stressful shift easier to navigate. I strongly recommend E K. To anyone. Large home. Back yard. And positive vibes. Thank you again.”
“Katie and Java did a good job sending photos and updates. Katie is pleasant to work with and was flexible in allowing me to pick up my dog a day early. Thank you Katie !”

“Yesenia did an excellent job as a pet sitter during the three-week period. She dedicated 30 minutes each day to thoroughly care for the cats, ensuring they were well-fed, had fresh water, and their litter was clean. Yesenia also handled hairball cleanups. Her daily photo updates were a delightful and reassuring touch. She was consistently prompt in responding to any queries, demonstrating great reliability and communication skills.”
“Leila went above and beyond taking care of my kitties and even tidying some of the messes the cats made! I felt reassured knowing she was spending time with them and giving them attention. She's incredibly communicative, which I really appreciate when I'm far away.”
“I want to make Kristi the godmother of my cats. This is our second time booking and it's clear our cats are not only comfortable but enjoy her visits immensely. Even my shy cat Pickles, who runs from everyone, has warmed up enough to give her kisses and make biscuits. It means the world to me to know they are safe and happy and stress free when I'm away. Kristi is the best!!”
“Magdalena was incredible! She kept me informed about how my cat Freeway was doing, was always responsive, and sent a lot of pictures (which made my day). Both Freeway and I were lucky to have her care — would 100% rebook.”
“Andres took good care of my two cats; they looked happily fed and were sitting nicely in all the pics! He was also flexible with timing, which I appreciated.”
“Janiyah is by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever booked on Rover, so let me start there. I was so nervous to let someone watch my babies because it was my first time visiting home after moving to Chicago and I didn’t want to leave Chef & Roux behind. Janiyah was super reassuring and wrote detailed rover cards that helped keep me in the loop throughout my trip. At one point my food started to run out for the girls and I had to deliver more to the apartment. She offered to come back to the apartment early so my girls didn’t get too hungry waiting until her next visit. Her compassion and communication skills really stood out to me and I will be rebooking her. Oh wait, I already did! 😆”
“Breanna is such a wonderful rover! She cleaned Neo’s litter box, fed him, and was very considerate and careful with my living space. I felt completely safe leaving my little baby with her. It’s clear she really cares about this little guy. She’s so sweet and communicative, both Neo and I really like her!”
“Jozelin is wonderful!! She spent time with my cats, played with them and went above and beyond my instructions. This was my first experience with Rover after moving to a new city recently, and I feel like Jozelin is someone I could completely trust in my home and with my cats!”
“Lorena is a great dog walker and sitter! She responded to all of my requests quickly and she works so well with my elderly dog. I’ve used her services for both dog sitting at her place and for check-in walks over weekends away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Gwen took great care of my cats while I was away! she made sure that my one cat got her medicine, and sent pictures of both of my girls as well as updates on how they were doing each day.”
“Michael was easy to work with and it really seems like he enjoys spending time with animals. Any pet would be in good hands with him. Will definitely be in touch with him again!”
“Nadine was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, followed all feeding instructions perfectly, and sent great updates. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. Thanks so much!”
“Monica & Calvin are amazing! My cats clearly loved the visit as they were well fed and thoroughly played with. The litter was tidy and everything looked great. Great drop in!”
“Timothy did a wonderful job caring for Ava 🐱 while I was away! His communication, consistency, and pics gave me peace of mind that Ava was in good hands. Would hire again and recommend. It’s obvious that he is passionate and genuine in his work!”

“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”
“I’ve had dogs for 26 years and it’s very clear that Jennifer and her husband are highly experienced dog lovers. My boy came back to me with a very peaceful energy which tells me he was well cared for. Highly recommend them!”
“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”
“My wife and I used Timothy on a trip from Florida to Oshkosh. We were passing through and wanted to take my daughter to the field museum and the shed aquarium. We had our German Shepherd, Sheba, with us, we reached out to Timothy and he agreed to watch Sheba for the afternoon. Timothy went above and beyond. He met us on the steps of the museum to pick Sheba up, and brought her back to us. I cannot overstate how great the experience was, we highly recommend using Timothy. He is extremely nice and easy to deal with.”

“I have known Monica and Calvin for about 2 years now and they have been truly amazing, caring, kind, and professional to my dogs! I had a fluctuating schedule so had to keep communicating with them to make arrangements and I really appreciated their understanding and flexibility. Most importantly, they shared a report card at the end of the day with pictures and short summary and they were all very helpful. Thank you so much always!”
About: I have always loved dogs and all animals. I have a small and friendly pomeranian. Your pets would have full range of my apartment. I aim for 4 walks a day but can do more if your pet is accustomed to that. I will do whatever I can to make your pets happy and comfortable while they stay with me. Thanks for reading and I hope to work with you and your furbabies. I don't like taking multiple clients at once but if you have multiple pets that's okay. I can offer 4 walks a day. I work from home so your pet will not be left unattended for long periods of time. I am awake around 8 am and go to bed around 11. I can wake up earlier to walk your dog. Your pet has full access to the apartment. I have pets myself so my place is pretty pet proof. I will follow any directions you leave me.
About: I’ve taken care of or have had animals since I was a child. Currently I have a cat named Ida who is very sweet & affectionate. I always strive for a 5-star experience, but my top priority will always be the safety of the pets in my care. I chose to refuse a request to take a cat outside without a harness, as the flight risk was far too high. It resulted in a low rating, but I will never compromise an animal's safety. I just graduated with a Master’s of Social Work. Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.
About: I work from home and am eager for company on my daily walks around the block and park. I live with my partner, Mike, who also has grown up with dogs, and we’re looking forward to adopting our own one day. In the meantime, I would love to help you care for your dog and make them feel happy and at home with us. We are an active and outdoorsy couple especially in the summertime, and enjoy going for long walks in the neighborhood, parks, or by the lake. Nitya works from home during the week and goes for a couple walks throughout the day, so she would love to take your dog out as needed. Mike is home Friday-Sunday so we’d also love to spend time with your dog together on the weekends. We have a small two bedroom apartment, with an open living room and kitchen. Your dog could spend time with Nitya in the apartment during the work day. There’s a fenced backyard between our building and the garage/coach house in the back, so we can always pop down there at anytime during the day or night. Our building neighbors have indoor cats, and there are a few alley cats that pass through the backyard occasionally. For walking, we are just a few blocks away from Harrison Park, and a about a 20 minute walk to Dvorak park.
“Diamond is an amazing sitter! She truly cares for the dogs she looks after and keeps you at ease with regular updates. My Leo came back home so tired and happy-which says everything, and he honestly didn’t even want to leave her place! Her dogs are wonderful as well and got along perfectly with mine, which made the whole experience even better. Diamond is reliable, punctual, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”

“We came to visit Chicago with our old pup but she couldn't keep up with the walking and we wanted some flexibility with our activities on our last two days in the city. Barbara answered our last minute call for help. We were so anxious to leave our girl while in a brand new city but Barbara was so sweet and reassuring. She kept us up to date and was very sweet to our Penny girl. So grateful we found her and that our pup was in good hands.”
“Latte had a wonderful day with Yanghua and her pup! Yanghua was very responsive over texts and took lots of cute photos of Latte. Would love to book with her again!”
“On very short notice, Ruben agreed to take care of our pup for the day when another sitter flaked out. 😑 He was glad to have Titus join the little pack of dogs at his house, and he made sure that Titus was comfortable around them. We had to push back our pickup time a bit, and Ruben was super understanding. It’s clear that there’s a reason why he has so many happy reviews and high ratings!”
“Vivian was amazing! Communicating with her was seamless and she took awesome care of my girl Maya. I loved getting pics and videos of Maya playing with her adorable pup Dior. I would def recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks for being such a great sitter.”

“Magdalena took incredible care of Remi and Spud while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, and sent great photo updates each visit. Remi and Spud were calm, well-fed, and happy when we got back. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Magdalena in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!”
“Per usual, Cocoa was in the best hands with Christina. She loves going over, so much so she dragged me there this time. I love all the updates and never have any second thoughts dropping her off with Christina!”
“Barbara was amazing! I needed a sitter last minute on the weekend and Barbara was so responsive and accommodating. My dog is incontinent and has separation anxiety and he was taken care of so much with Barbara. She has worked with incontinent dogs which was such a help. She sent me many updates throughout the day including photos and videos, bathed my dog, and made him feel at home. He even got some fun treats. I will definitely be using Barbara again :)”
“Thankful. Very positive and seamless experience. My sitter cancelled last minute and I reached out to E K. And within minutes we set up an appointment to meet my pup. After, she gave me a set of instructions for the morning and everything went smoothly. As a firefighter, family is everything to me and Pongo is my comfort dog. To know he was taken care of through out the day made my stressful shift easier to navigate. I strongly recommend E K. To anyone. Large home. Back yard. And positive vibes. Thank you again.”
“Katie and Java did a good job sending photos and updates. Katie is pleasant to work with and was flexible in allowing me to pick up my dog a day early. Thank you Katie !”
“Kae is amazing ! She has extensive knowledge of caring for multiple breeds of dogs. She did well caring for my Pitbull; he enjoyed her spacious back yard. She also sent me a bunch of cute pictures of him enjoying his stay. Will rebook in the future”
“Ruben was amazing taking care of Alfredo and Frida, he was always updating about the day of my dogs. Is good to know that we have someone to stay with them so responsible.”
“Steven was very communicative during pickup and drop off. He shared regular updates and photos of Polo that put us in peace of mind. Polo had a very nice and comfy stay with Steven. And I’d recommend Steven to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”
