“My dog sitter Fanny was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind, and I could tell my puppy was in great hands. I would absolutely use her again”
“Brownie was very happy with her stay at Katy's. She took great care of our little dog, sent updates and checked in on dietary preferences along the way which I really appreciated. :) Would book again!”
“Keith was great with our dog Archer! He bonded with him very quickly, sent frequent updates, and streamlined the drop off and pickup process for us. Professional & friendly - highly recommended”
“Glen took great care of our pup Jax while we were gone on a 10 day trip. The photos he sent gave us reassurance that Jax was enjoying his time and going on great walks out in the snow. Jax, who can be a little selective of his playmates, even seemed to get along with his pup Hope. We’d happily use Glen again for boarding.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tintin while I was away. Knowing that they were in your hands gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a truly worry-free vacation. I really appreciate the updates, the kindness, and the attention you gave—it’s clear you treat pets like family. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Thank you again for everything!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received from Ashley! From the start, her communication was clear, thoughtful, and reassuring — I felt totally at ease leaving my pup in her hands. She was so organized and clearly experienced, and it showed in how smoothly everything went. I could tell my boy was well looked after and loved while I was away. I’m really grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Palvi is very nice and did a great job in taking care of Snoopy over 5 days while we were on vacation. Snoopy is shy, anxious by nature & picky eater. Snoopy got comfortable with her family in short time & had good fun time playing hide & seek with her kids & her pet Corgi. We are so thankful that we found Palvi & would definitely recommend her.”
“My pup seemed to be having a lot of fun in the updates provided very often. Selena was very accommodating and I felt safe leaving my dog with her because I know she’d care for her like her own.”
“A great stay for our greyhound Happy. She is loved and well cared-for by Beatrice. Our second stay with Beatrice and it will not be our last. Happy was immediately comfortable when I dropped her off for this second stay - such a great sign that she is content and feels at home while with Beatrice.”
“Wonderful stay! We highly recommend Pennie!! She took great care of our dog Gabby and the whole experience was easy. She was very flexible and the communication was great. Pennie... Thank you so much for making everything go so smoothly. We really appreciate all that you did to make this such a great experience for Gabby!”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“Kimberly was communicative about our dog and kept us up to date with his progress and needs. She made leaving him easy to trust he was going to stay in a loving home!”
“This was the first time I left my dog overnight. Trish sent me photos so I could see that Pennington was safe and happy. She was amazing and I would definitely leave my dog with her if Needed.”
“Would definitely recommend Minqi. Great communication throughout out the stay of our babies and she took great care of them. We were very much at ease knowing that the babies were well cared for. Thank you so much, Minqi!”
“Freddy and his family have been awesome in taking care of Yuki. They welcomed us to their beautiful and clean home. Freddy took note of our instructions regarding Yuki’s care. He has been great in providing updates with pictures of Yuki. When we picked up Yuki, we noticed that her fur was brushed and she smelled nice. They really treated our furbaby like she was their own. We highly recommend them!”
About: My name is Sandra and I’m 28 years old. I have two furry family members; Bonbon, an 11 year old poodle mix, and Wally, a 3 year old collie mix. I currently work as a Dog Groomer, but have about 6 years of experience in the Dog Daycare industry. My past jobs have given me the experience needed to handle and care for dogs of all sizes. They’ve also taught me how to greet an unfamiliar dog, how to do feedings for various dogs, administer medication, and how to detect signs of aggression and fear. With my personal experience and professional experience, I am well equipped to handle dogs in all stages of life. With that being said, It takes patience, hard work, and honesty to care for a dog. My offered services to clients are met with the highest of standards. I believe in giving 100% in all work that I do, meaning you’ll never receive less than excellent care for your best friend. It’s difficult to leave your dog in the hands of a stranger, however, I always treat every dog the way I would want my dog to be treated: like family. If you have any questions regarding my services, please feel free to reach out! I am fully committed to Rover, meaning I have full availability, and can give your furry family members my full attention 7 days a week. I care for your pets the way I would care for my own. Every furry family member is different, and you know them best. I can guarantee my care will reflect the dog’s lifestyle. Whether you crate at home, or your pet snuggles in bed with yourself; I aim to keep the routine as close as possible to that at home.

“Amy was excellent in caring for our kitten while we were away for 2 weeks. She dropped in twice a day to make sure out pet was doing well. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“I’ve hired Laura for check ins with my 2 cats twice now (this past time my partner and I needed her services for 8 days, twice a day). I’m so glad I found her. My boys are very comfortable with her, and she provides such reliable and consistent communication. I’m an anxious pet parent, and the level of detail and the pictures she sent made it clear how much time and care she took with my boys (playing, feeding, scooping litter, and generally giving them some love and attention). One of my kitties needs an oral medication every other day. While he and I have the process down to an art, I was nervous how he’d do with another person. Laura made this such a smooth process for him and made sure to let me know how things went each time, which I greatly appreciate. She went above and beyond when my partner and I had a few issues that popped up (reconnecting our WiFi, bringing in packages, etc), and I’m grateful for her patience and flexibility. I’d absolutely book with her again, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Would definitely use Glen again! He was kind, consistent and trustworthy. Took care of our 2 seniors dogs while we were out of town. He was always on time and patient with them. Kept in touch and sent pictures daily, made us feel very comfortable while away.”
“Albina was amazing with my anxious senior cat. I dropped him off and within minutes after I left, she sent me a picture of him exploring the house. She sent me pictures and texts daily, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: As a devoted cat mom to JoJo, my 7-year-old cat, I know firsthand how independent yet sensitive cats can be. I understand the importance of maintaining your cat's routine, keeping their environment clean and comfortable, and giving them the right balance of gentle attention and personal space. I take litter box cleaning seriously — a clean space is a happy cat. Whether your cat prefers cuddles or quiet company, I follow your instructions carefully and treat every cat with the same patience and love I give JoJo every day. Your cat is in safe, caring hands.
“We went away for the weekend. Bonnie stopped by everyday to check on our kitties. Also very helpful with checking the mail and putting out the trash. We were put at ease every day with lots of pictures. Thanks Bonnie!! PS-Doc says hi!”
“Valerie has drop in on Colt for multiple months now, she is amazing with him. She has good communication and is always a great help my girlfriend and I highly recommend her! Thank you!”
“Absolutely thrilled with Katies care for my cats. She spent extra time then expected, she went above and beyond doing things she didn’t even need to, she took the best pictures of my pets and her comments she left about the visit was well thought out and gave me a good chuckle. I have used several other Rover sitters and she is my favorite! I highly recommend her!”
“I needed a last-minute drop-in visit for my rabbits while I was out of town, and she was able to help on very short notice. She communicated well, checked on my pets promptly, and made sure they had what they needed. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help when I was feeling worried. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have grown up in an animal loving family my entire life. Despite my parents having four kids (with me being the youngest), we always made room for many furry friends. I have experience taking care of pets of multiple species and sizes, including dogs (ranging from Boxers to Miniature Dachshunds), cats (outdoor and indoor), and guinea pigs. Currently my family has three dogs and one cat, and I have two Ragdoll kitties! I currently work at home as a software engineer, but I work on my own schedule and can take breaks whenever needed. I also have most nights free to take care of your pet(s). I have multiple experiences caring for houses and I always make sure that the residence is secure and the pets are safe. Also, I have a girlfriend who lives with me that can take care of my own cats making my availability flexible.
“We were very happy with Sandra taking care of our pet. She was a perfect, kind and efficient pet sitter. I highly recommend Sandra. While away from our fur baby, we felt very comfortable knowing he was being lovingly cared for by Sandra.”

“Albina was amazing! She continuously updated me on my puppy. I obtained photos, confirmations in feeding, adjustments when needed, and so much more. Overall, she made my first experience with Rover great. I will be using her services again.”
“Had last minute errands I needed to do. I needed someone to watch my pup for a few hours. Katy was available on short notice. She was very responsive, communicated well and took care of my Chompis. Even took Chompis to the park and sent me a pic! I would recomen Katy!”
“I love love love keeping my Louie with Shaneika and Milo😊 I have actually used her several times prior to her getting on the Rover site. Her dog Milo is a sweetie and they have the best play dates😊 Always my first choice…Great trusted care for my little guy.”
“Mike was very gentle and caring with my sweet sensitive dog Penny for a day of doggie daycare in his home. She was struggling emotionally due to our recent relocation from out of state and being separated from me during my workdays at my new job. The big doggie daycares were too much commotion and not enough human interaction for her. Mike provided a quiet, caring and safe space in his home with plenty of attention and support for Penny. He sent pictures and texted updates during the day. He walked her several times as requested. Plus he was available last minute when another person cancelled on us. I am so grateful for Mike’s flexibility and support which gave me great peace of mind. I absolutely recommend him to others and will be back for sure!”
“Bruno had another wonderful day with his buddies at daycare. Ashley provided opportunities for him to socialize, to exercise, and stimulation. We are so grateful for the time she puts in to making the experience great for Bruno”
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
“Awesome experience! Kimberly was very quick to respond to my request, and schedule a meet/greet. Louis is typically shy at the start, however Kimberly provided great updates during the day as he warmed up. At pick up, Louis was running around all over with her two dogs. Thank you Kim, appreciate you and the warm care you gave Louis!”

About: I have been a dog owner for the past 16 years (3 dogs over this time), and currently have a very dog-friendly Bichon frise who is used to playing with dogs of all sizes (her favorites are her size or somewhat larger). My two previous dogs (both Shih tzus) lived to 16 and 14 years, so I am well aware of how to care for more senior dogs. I have a great neighborhood and am happy to walk your dogs with mine. While I have only owned small dogs, I love all kinds of dogs and am happy to welcome yours into my home. I am happy to work with pet owners on any special routines, including sleep, medication and feeding (I have plenty of room in my refrigerator for any special food your dog might require). I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs (frequent potty breaks, walks as desired, etc.). Occasionally I will have to leave to run errands or meet with clients, but I am rarely gone for more than 2-3 hours. Days that I anticipate being away for more than 3 hours are marked as unavailable on my calendar. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Bichon frise to keep your dogs company. While I prefer crate-trained dogs for times I need to be away briefly, I will welcome your dogs to roam about the house and yard when I am at home. I do have several spare crates for smaller dogs, although I have plenty of space for you to bring yours. I am happy to work with each individual dog owner regarding overnight routines.
“Adithya was terrific with my high energy German Shepherd Champ. Even on a rainy day he kept Champ busy playing so he was nice and tired when we picked him up. He sent pictures and kept me posted throughout the day. Would definitely recommend him. He also responded very quickly to my request.”

“Brittany and Eric were a life saver. I had a last minute request to meet them and their pup Bogey before needing day care day for my dog Baxter and they made it happen! I was having construction done on my house and they were sooo flexible with times to drop off and pick up during a stressful time. Their dog is amazing and got along perfect with Baxter. They both seemed tired at the end of the day. And they welcomed Baxter into their home with open arms right away. Right when I met them they welcomed me to come into their home and allowed me to take my dog off his leash to wonder and explore their home. They also let both dogs get to know each other in their back yard. It was a perfect meet and greet and perfect care while I was at home busy with construction workers. They also sent pictures throughout the day and made sure I knew Baxter was happy and in good hands. I would recommend them for care for any dog.”

My four-legged companions have included a German Shepherd, a Newfoundland, a Poodle, Staffordshire Terrier and 2 rescue cats. After many moves, and in my first year living in America, we adopted a Havanese-Bichon mix, and it has been the best decision ever! To me, dogs are an endless source of joy. They are the most loyal and loving creatures on the planet! I love playing with them, teaching them new tricks, going for walks, watching them, and giving them lots of cuddles. A walk with a dog fills me with energy and positive emotions. I love them, and they feel it and love me back. When it comes to cats, I understand that cats choose you, not the other way around. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, providing respectful care that helps cats feel safe, relaxed, and at home.

About: As a devoted dog mom to Milo, my pup I raised and trained from puppyhood, I know exactly what dogs need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I have hands-on experience teaching dogs essential commands, including leash walking, leave it, and stay, building the good habits and confidence every dog needs. I also have real experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, helping them feel calm, secure, and comfortable when their favorite human isn't around. Beyond my own dog, I have experience caring for and training friends' and family's adult dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different, and I take time to learn your dog's personality, routine, and preferences before every visit. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, playtime, or just calm companionship, I give every dog the same patience, consistency, and love I give Milo every single day. Pet care fits naturally and consistently into my daily routine. I am available every morning starting at 6:30 AM for early walks, drop-ins, and check-ins — perfect for pets who need care before their owners head to work.

I also offer evening availability from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM for end-of-day walks, feeding check-ins, and bedtime drop-ins. Your pet will always receive timely, reliable care on a consistent daily schedule — no last-minute scrambling or uncertainty. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I always respect your home and your pet's space. During walks, I keep your dog safely on leash at all times and wipe down their paws and bottom before re-entering your home — keeping your floors and furniture clean and fresh. For cat drop-in visits, I make sure your cat is fed according to your exact instructions, clean the litter box thoroughly including the surrounding area, and ensure the space is left tidy and exactly as I found it. I stay within the areas of your home you designate — your space and privacy are always respected. I follow your instructions carefully every single visit, and I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy, clean, and well cared for."
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5, and i’ve watched dogs for family and friends! I’ve taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkie, to as big as a Great Dane! I currently work as a softball coach so I am typically not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays past 5pm. Additionally, I have tournaments on the weekends which make me unavailable most weekends. But this all means that I would love to work for you during the day while you’re at work or just need a break! I can watch your dog in your own home, and I am very comfortable taking dogs outside or in the back yard. I will listen to your instructions regarding food and crating, as I know every home and animal is different!

“Heather is always punctual but more importantly engaging with the pet she is there to care for as well as the others just vying for attn. Highly recommend Heather for your 4 legged family members. This message is approved by my pup!”
About: I have had dogs all my life and know how much time and attention they need to feel loved and safe. I had two big dogs growing up ( yellow lab and a pit bull terrier) and was very active with them - loved going on long walks and hikes. I currently have a 6 year old bernidoodle who is extremely energetic and goofy and loves to swim and hide my shoes around the house. I love being outside going on long walks and it makes it so much better having a little buddy to share that time with. I have a lot of experience with large and strong dogs as well as puppies. I walk and sit animals for friends and family and have been occasionally cat sitting more recently and really enjoy that at well. I am currently working as a receptionist but have a lot of extra time because my hours are pretty short. I work Monday- Thursday from 1pm-6:30/7pm so will have plenty of weekend time to spend time with ur pups or cats:) I can even come in the morning or after 8pm if needed. I have a very calm and friendly presence when pet sitting. Time away from owners can be stressful and I want to make that time as comfortable as possible for the animals by giving lots of love and attention if they need it. I make a lot of sensory toys at home for my dog and try and make sure he feels mentally stimulated.
“Kate, was an excellent dog walker. I appreciated the updates she gave on every walk with my dog. Whether it was a potty break, water break, or pictures of my dog she was on top of keeping me in the loop. She was punctual too and was flexible with changing the walk schedule if I needed to for weather.”
“Jennifer is amazing with our dogs and really helped us out when we needed her. Animals clearly love and feel comfortable with her; even my chihuahuah who hates everyone comes up to her. Will be using Jennifer again and again. Thanks so much for taking good care of our girls”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old,I've also taken care of special needs dogs and other animals as I am an animal lover. I am actually majoring in animal biology and veterinary medicine so that I can become a veterinarian. I was president of my animal club all through high school where I would set up and host adoption events, set up volunteer days at the human society and other animal shelters. There were even days I would set aside to make treats, toys and blankets for shelter dogs and other animals. I am usually free 24/7 so I'll have a bunch of free time to play and love on your fur babies, especially if they have a lot of energy and need to burn it off and run around. I do not start school until the fall but even then it is online so I will still have plenty of time to give them all my attention. I can easily crate your pup if need be and I also have doggy gates so they won't be able to run out of the door. I always have treats and toys on me and I stay by a dog friendly park to keep your dog occupied and engaging in some sort activity.
“Elena took wonderful care of our two French bulldogs. She was in constant communication during our time away and sent us many pictures and videos. She also asked follow up questions as needed. Our doggies were well taken care of with Elena and we will definitely be asking her to dog walk again for us in the future.”

“Glen took great care of our pup Jax while we were gone on a 10 day trip. The photos he sent gave us reassurance that Jax was enjoying his time and going on great walks out in the snow.

He has been great in providing updates with pictures of Yuki. When we picked up Yuki, we noticed that her fur was brushed and she smelled nice. They really treated our furbaby like she was their own. We highly recommend them!”
About: My name is Sandra and I’m 28 years old. I have two furry family members; Bonbon, an 11 year old poodle mix, and Wally, a 3 year old collie mix. I currently work as a Dog Groomer, but have about 6 years of experience in the Dog Daycare industry. My past jobs have given me the experience needed to handle and care for dogs of all sizes. They’ve also taught me how to greet an unfamiliar dog, how to do feedings for various dogs, administer medication, and how to detect signs of aggression and fear. With my personal experience and professional experience, I am well equipped to handle dogs in all stages of life. With that being said, It takes patience, hard work, and honesty to care for a dog. My offered services to clients are met with the highest of standards. I believe in giving 100% in all work that I do, meaning you’ll never receive less than excellent care for your best friend. It’s difficult to leave your dog in the hands of a stranger, however, I always treat every dog the way I would want my dog to be treated: like family. If you have any questions regarding my services, please feel free to reach out! I am fully committed to Rover, meaning I have full availability, and can give your furry family members my full attention 7 days a week. I care for your pets the way I would care for my own. Every furry family member is different, and you know them best. I can guarantee my care will reflect the dog’s lifestyle. Whether you crate at home, or your pet snuggles in bed with yourself; I aim to keep the routine as close as possible to that at home.
“Kendall is so incredible!! I was nervous to board our dogs using Rover, but my worries we quickly gone after we met her. Kendall is sweet and genuine, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. It was so nice knowing that our dogs were cared for and in the comfort of her home. I am so excited for the next time we need boarding so that we can work with Kendall again!!”
“Matt and Michelle are absolutely incredible dog people and people people! Genuinely so caring and loving, my dog makes herself right at home whenever she’s there. THANK YOU MATT AND MICHELLE FOR EVERYTHING!!”
“Ashley was so awesome with our dog, Chino! She asked how often we would like updates, and we met for 2 meet and greets before boarding so chino would be more comfortable and used to her and their dog. I highly recommend Ashley for any pet sitting needs!”
“Our dog loved her stay with Tyler and family! They were so welcoming and Brady had a great space to run and make friends!! She was so well cared for and was treated like part of the family! We will definitely rebook when we are visiting Chicago!”
“I always feel good about leaving Zoe with Darrilyn! Zoe settles in right away and is happy and healthy when I pick her up. I've already booked another visit for Zoe. Thank you, Darrilyn!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I have dog sat for friends throughout the years. I have a passion for taking care of pups, hopefully one day I can open my own daycare/boarding non-profit. I currently work full time but have evenings and weekends free to watch your pup! My dogs are on a schedule that allows for them to go out three times a day plus any additional walks/playtime if weather allows! My pups are like family to me. I have a slight obsession with them and dogs in general. Being around dogs genuinely brings me so much joy. I would feel so lucky to be able to provide your pup with a comfy and fun stay!
“This was my first time using Rover, and Justine and Brett were great! It looks like my doggo had a good time, and I felt very secure leaving him with Justine and Brett. I got photos every day, and it looked like he was having a blast. My flight home got delayed, and J&B were gracious and flexible. I’ll for sure use them again for dog care.”
