“Kent has watched buddy twice now and he’s been great! Buddy can be particular and Kent has took good care of him. He’s always communicative when we check in as well, thank you Kent!”
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
“Lyn was great watching our dog while we were out of town over the holidays. She sent us lots of pictures and it looked like Poppy had plenty of fun and stimulus while there!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“This was the first time using Rover and Kasia was great. Our puppy came home happy and content. Kasia was quick with responses and also kept us updated while we were away so we felt comfortable that Aurora was in good hands. We will definitely leave Aurora with Kasia going forward! Thank you for all your love and care Kasia ♥️”
“Allis is the best! She took such great care of my dog, as always. I love the pics and videos each day. She really cared about him, especially making sure he felt safe on 4th of July!”
“Hannah was incredible! She has such a way with dogs. You can tell from the moment you meet her, that she is just the most warm and caring person, and that extends to all the furry friends, too. She was flexible, asked all the pertinent questions, sent daily updates, and I loved all the pictures she sent. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my dog again. Highly highly recommend!”
“Bob and Lia were beyond wonderful sitters. It is clear to see their love, compassion and patience for animals. This was by far one of the easiest and best experiences I have had, and our pups loved staying there as well! We'll be booking again with Bob and Lia soon, highly recommended!!”
“First time using the Rover service and Eileen made the experience easy and care free. She welcomed our dog Buster into her home like she would her own dogs, and helped make his time away from his people to be a pleasant experience for him. Eileen was great about daily check in's and communication. We definitely will keep Eileen in mind for future boarding needs. Thanks Eileen for taking such good care of Buster!”
“This was Penny’s second stay with Tatiana. She is always professional, thoughtful, and responsive. She is great with our older girl, who is a little slower than she used to be and needs a little TLC. PS - thanks for all the belly rubs! Love the daily updates and photos! Thanks again for taking such great care of Penny. Will not hesitate to book again!”
“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”
“We left our 5-month-old Sheepoo with this sitter for the first time while we were away on a weekend trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Communication was excellent from the start—the sitter was always quick to respond and kept us updated regularly. Most importantly, it was clear how much they genuinely cared for and loved our puppy, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Before his stay, our puppy was very hesitant during walks and would often get scared by passing cars. To our surprise, after spending time with this sitter, he became much more confident and comfortable on walks. We were amazed by the improvement. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our pup. We truly appreciate everything you did and would absolutely book with you again!”
“Diana and her family are the absolute best!! Our pup has been at Diana's house during winter break for the past 3 years since he was a small puppy, and he gets so much love at her house. He even recognizes her house now and will pull me to her house when we arrive! I appreciate the pictures she sends and updates!”
About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“My sweet girls always love going to D'artagnan's! They get less anxiety the more they go there. Nike is a great companion for them as always and they had fun. This time another older pup was being boarded and they became buddies.”
“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!”
“She was very kind and was sending photos of my dog constantly. Was very responsible about my dog’s safety and told me everything that happened. Overall I really liked the service and would let her with my dog again. Great service.”

“Mariela was phenomenal. The level of care and attention was exactly what we were looking for for our cat when we were out of town. She followed instructions and went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt comfortable and taken care of. Thank you Mariela!”
“Sarah is the very best!!!!!! We loved having her watch our cats and will definitely be booking with her again. She has great cat energy and our two boys love her. We have a litter robot and automatic pet feeder, so we really just wanted someone to check in every couple of days while we were out of the country with no cell service for over a week on our honeymoon. Sarah noticed that one of our cats messed with the feeder machine and it looked like it wasn't dispensing food the right way. Sarah went out of her way to do extra visits to make sure that the cats had food. 10/10, she also helped water my patio garden plants while we were away”
“Kelly cared for gema her first time away from home and messaged me with updates what felt like atleast once a day, which was wholesome. I thank this company for making it possible!”
“Kristina was wonderful at taking care of Saga. She was kind, caring and loving. She was great at following directions related to her medication and food. Also, she was prompted answering all my questions. I appreciate your help and support when I was away from home. Thank you.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy I asked Liz to look after my cats while I was on vacation for the weekend!! Liz was so incredible to work with and really went above and beyond to care for my cats. She is so attentive to the cat's needs and understanding of their quirks (there are many quirks with my two kitties!). She was very easy to communicate with and was quick with responses. I truly felt like my cats were in good hands!! She also sent so many pictures which made me so happy while I was missing my fur-babies!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Susanna. She was professional, reliable, and showed genuine care and affection towards my cats. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond to make sure my cats was comfortable and well taken care of. I highly recommend Susanna for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring person to look after their furry friends.”

“Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!”

“Evelyn is a god send! She was FABULOUS with our pets. We have a sassy cat and two buns who absolutely loved her! She was prompt on timing and followed all of the directions we had. She met with us before our vacation to meet our furry friends and pick up keys. She sent hilarious updates and pictures. We never had a worry with Evelyn watching our pets. 10 out 10 would book her again.”

Whilst I am a devoted stickler when it comes to scheduling, I also understand that life happens and flexibility is a necessity. I can't allow pets in my apartment because they have a no pet policy allowed but I'm more than able to house sit in the client's home.

About: My house has a large backyard stocked with a puppy pool and dog toys thanks to my 2 residents dogs. Not only have I raised my 2 girls (2 Doberman)since they were just a few weeks old (now 3 and 1.5), I’ve previously had a boxer (she passed at 13 years old). I’ve also pet sat both large and small dogs and plenty of cats! I have a cat of my own (Meowth 6yrs). I work remotely from my house most days—let’s talk schedule when we chat! I typically won’t introduce my picky girls to new pups right away. Thanks to my husband and niece, they get lots of attention and love. If the vibe is right, we can def do some pack walks and slow intros. Slow and steady wins the race! Plus, with my husband watching my babes, I can give yours a more TLC while you’re out. If that doesn’t work, I’m also open to pet sitting at your home—whatever you pet needs! I’m an overprotective pet mom myself so I totally understand the need to make sure your pet isn’t only safe but also happy while you’re away. I’m happy to send picture and video updates while your pet stays with me (or during a walk/drop in). You can call, text, video chat anytime. I typically send at least 4 updates with photos and videos a day. I’m also close to the vet in case any emergency arises! Not to mention I’m an avid hiker and a (very novice) canicross runner—my pups love to run and hike! If you’re comfortable with your dogs going on a long hike with me, I’m happy to take them on an adventure to one of the nearby forest preserves. Or if frisbee is more your pups thing, I have a 100yd leash and a huge field near me that my dogs also frequent. Don’t be afraid to mention any behavioral problems, just let me know and we can find something that works for everyone. I’ve had experience with reactive dogs. I’m happy to continue your training while your dog is with me. I currently work mostly remotely! I’m home with my girls all day long and happy to host your pup, too. With enough notice I should be able to work fully remote when your baby is over—but let’s discuss! On the weekends, we love to spend as much time outdoors/on trails as possible. Your pet is my priority. I focus on how they are acting individually and with others so they can stay happy and safe. Attention and urgency with everything is key to me.
“Marianna walked our dogs each morning for about a week and a half. She did an outstanding job dealing with our two pups who can be a handful walking together. Each morning we received 2 photos of each of our girls and they always looked like they were having a blast. We’d also get a great report card with a few sent news describing their walk that day. I would absolutely use Marianna again for dog walking services.”

“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
“Lyn was great watching our dog while we were out of town over the holidays. She sent us lots of pictures and it looked like Poppy had plenty of fun and stimulus while there!”
“This was the first time using Rover and Kasia was great. Our puppy came home happy and content. Kasia was quick with responses and also kept us updated while we were away so we felt comfortable that Aurora was in good hands. We will definitely leave Aurora with Kasia going forward! Thank you for all your love and care Kasia ♥️”
“Hannah was incredible! She has such a way with dogs. You can tell from the moment you meet her, that she is just the most warm and caring person, and that extends to all the furry friends, too. She was flexible, asked all the pertinent questions, sent daily updates, and I loved all the pictures she sent. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my dog again. Highly highly recommend!”
“Bob and Lia were beyond wonderful sitters. It is clear to see their love, compassion and patience for animals. This was by far one of the easiest and best experiences I have had, and our pups loved staying there as well! We'll be booking again with Bob and Lia soon, highly recommended!!”
“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”
“My sweet girls always love going to D'artagnan's! They get less anxiety the more they go there. Nike is a great companion for them as always and they had fun. This time another older pup was being boarded and they became buddies.”
“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!”
“She was very kind and was sending photos of my dog constantly. Was very responsible about my dog’s safety and told me everything that happened. Overall I really liked the service and would let her with my dog again. Great service.”
“Marta and her family are amazing! If you are looking for someone to take care of your angel look no further. Marta is the best person for the job! Not only does she take fantastic care, but your dog will be in a loving family environment as well. I recommend her thoroughly!”
“Prithvi and Varun were truly great!! This was our first time using Rover, and we were unsure of the whole process. Prithvi walked us through everything, we had a great meet and greet, and they were so responsive. We just finished our booking and every day we got updates and pictures, and immediate responses. I felt so comfortable having my dog with them, and plan on using them again. Very positive and great experience!”
“Lizabeth was absolutely wonderful with Pluto! From the moment I dropped him off until the moment I picked him up, she made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated on how Pluto was doing throughout my vacation and regularly sent pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that she’s very knowledgeable about dogs and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend Lizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Kaylee was super great!! Edy loved staying there and got tons of energy and excitement out too! We got tons of pictures from her overnight and lots of updates. Our dog came home super happy and tired!”
“Bill and his wife recently took care of my granddog Bogey. Bill took extraordinary care of Bogey. He has a beautiful pet friendly home fenced in backyard. Bogey became best buddies with their dog Frankie. I would highly recommend them and we will definitely use your services again!”
“Our Nellie had a great time with Stephanie. She had so much fun playing with Leon. It was her first time with a sitter, but Stephanie was great keeping her routine and sending us updates and pictures, which made us feel so much better while vacationing. Highly recommended!”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
“My pup just the best long weekend with Joe! I was worried about leaving him but Joe’s calm demeanor and lots of pictures gave me all of the reassurance that I needed to enjoy my couple of days away without any stress!”
“Amberley did a great job watching my dog, Herbie! She sent plenty of updates throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When Herbie wasn't interested in eating his dog food, she even took the time to make him some chicken to make sure he ate. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I would definitely book with Amberley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
