“Thao has kept my Golden Retriever, Sully, for two different stays when I have needed to board him when my husband and I travel. Once was for a 4 day stint and the other time was for a short weekend. She is very communicable via cell phone and responds to messages very quickly and responsibly. She has sent me updates of Sully with photos and videos and been very nice. It's been really great to be able to leave home and feel confident and trust that my dog is in good hands. She has even come to my home to pick him up before when I haven't had time to drop him off, and she's been very flexible and easy to work with. If you need to leave your pet with someone when you are vacationing, I would HIGHLY recommend her! I have been very pleased with both of my experiences with Thao and Sully always seems excited to see her, which says a lot. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby, Thao!!”
“Kimberly is a very capable and confident caregiver. Almost a dog whisperer. After we left town, she informed us that our pet didn’t take well to hers. She didn’t panic or pout to us. Just informed and managed it for 8 nights. Would use her again and recommend her highly!”
“We left our pup, George, with Jacob for a week and while we were anxious about leaving him for so long, Jacob put our minds at ease with updates and photos. Jacob truly cares about the dogs in his care and helped make our family vacation even better knowing George was in good hands.”
“Perfect home and perfect care. We received pictures/videos all the time and they provided updates on activities. They treated melon like their own dog.”
“Norman’s stay with Naomi and Johann went off without a hitch. He felt at home with them and got along well with Milo. We enjoyed receiving the regular updates and pictures they sent as well!”
“Another fun stay! Jenny went crazy happy when we arrived. So much attention. This is definitely like a second home for her. Thanks Doug & Deb and family!”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”
“The guys were great with Louie again this week. They’re always reliable and keep him social and well cared for while I’m away! I cannot recommend them enough! My travel schedule has increased temporarily and it brings so much peace of mind knowing Louie people who truly care! Louie is extremely excited to see them during every drop off.”
“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!”
“We left our dog with Bob for 7 nights while on vacation and didn’t worry once. Bob sent daily videos and was very responsive and accommodating from the moment we booked him. A few days before our trip Bob worked with us to schedule a time to bring our dog by to meet him and for us to see his set up. Once we saw Bob interact with our dog and ty either dogs that were there we were confident that we made the right decision. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone and we will certainly book him again.”
“If you have an anxious dog like mine, who needs a quiet, less-stimulating environment, Karla is perfect. She is reliable, communicative, and understands a dog's needs. I'm a repeat customer and highly recommend her.”
“Mario took great care of our Rhea when we went on vacation. He consistently updated us everyday with pictures of our dog. He responds to us right away and made us feel that Rhea is well taken cared of. Thank you, Mario!”
“My dog was well taken care of and had a great time with Rico! He was great about sending photos and updates. I was unsure of my exact timing for drop off and pick up and Rico was so kind and flexible with me. Excellent experience and I'd be happy to have Margo stay with him anytime!”
“It was my first time leaving my dog with Cristina and she was great! Very reassuring and sent pictures to me over the weekend to let me know Addie was doing just fine. Will definitely use Cristina again. Thanks!”

“Amy did a great job checking on our two cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive to the cats needs and we could tell they got lots of affection and play time during Amy’s visits. We highly recommend and plan to book with Amy in the future.”
“Katherine was an excellent choice for a drop in visit for our two cats! She is very attentive and interested in getting to know their specific personalities and needs. One of our cats needs insulin shots and I felt reassured with her skill set. The Rover Card was thorough and the many photos were appreciated. I will be using her in the future and I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve helped care for cats for over 10 years, and currently have a senior baby of my own. I have experience cat-sitting kittens, seniors, as well as cats with special needs like diabetes, which have required me to administer insulin.
About: I have had a 3 dogs over the course of my life and 1 in college with my housemates. I have also cared for my senior dog when she was terminal for a year which gave me a lot of different experiences than usual animal care. I treat every dog I see on the street like my own and always stop for pets! I am currently a nursing student looking to make extra money. The program is online so I am available often to help out with whatever you need. I understand how to do the feeding schedules, walking schedules, and daily updates for parents as I take care of my dog at home some days for my parents as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed or help with feeding. I am great at following instructions and will respect your animal and your home accordingly!
“Thank you again Isabela for taking care of Ali. I know she was well taken care of on your visits. I always look forward to the pictures and knowing everything thing is fine. I have total peace of mind knowing Ali is in good care.”
“Donna is friendly and reliable as always! We trust her to take care of our cat every time we leave town. She communicates well and we know kitty is in good hands.”
“Mia was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! From the very first visit, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals — my cat warmed up to her quickly and was clearly comfortable in her care. Mia was reliable and punctual every single visit, and she kept me updated regularly with photos and notes, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. She went above and beyond with little extra touches that showed real attentiveness. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.”
“Andrew was the best cat sitter! We’re always a little nervous going out of town leaving our elderly cat at home. Andrew is a great communicator, and we felt our cat was in good hands. We would not hesitate to rebook with Andrew the next time we need a cat sitter.”
“Noorjahan and her family are stellar! They made our kitty feel right at home and we felt totally comfortable that she’d be safe and happy! Looking forward to the next time.”
“Brinda was so great with our boys. We were worried that they'd hide from someone new, but they loved her immediately. She was always so thorough and communicative and made sure that both we and our boys were comfortable.”
About: You are working late for the peak season or you may need to travel for several days. You are worrying about your furry friend at home who has been indoor and alone all day long. Worrying about if they eat or drink or pooped yet. Worrying about if they run out of home or not. This is something I'd worry about my cats and dogs when I'm out for work. Every day I would spend some time with my pets to play, train, and talk with them. The more I communicate with pets, the more they'd understand me, including my orders and requests. I'd do the same with your dog as well! Talk with your dog, understand he/she's feeling. This would really help to build a relationship with your pet! If they like jogging or fetching, we can definitely do more on that! Keep every dog in a healthy shape, lose weight and gain more muscle. Or if they prefer to get some belly rubs or do some training, that would be my pleasure to serve as well~ I will bring a water bottle with filtered water (if your dog only drinks with the bottle he/she familiar with, it would be great if you would share it with me during the walk) After each exercise, I will make sure to keep your dog hydrated, and give some treats for awards. I will also take some videos and photos for you to see how he/she is doing! Tell me more about your dog, let me know what he/she likes/don't likes to do. Let me know him/her ahead of time would help me to do my job.
About: We have a cozy home with lots of large windows and sunshine for our cats to enjoy the scenery and day. Its a quite house on a culdesac . We would enjoy having your cat stay with us!
About: I’ve had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I get along with all my neighbors’ dogs and my neighbors rely on me to take care of them some times. My old roommate has a golden retriever and I love taking care of him, giving him a bath and walking him. I have two cats at home and I even taught them some tricks! I’m currently working part time only on Mondays and Thursdays. So I have lots of free time outside of work taking care of your dogs and playing with them! I also have a car so I can drive to wherever you are and take your dogs for a walk where they are the most comfortable with. I live right next to the bike trail and woods, which is a paradise for dogs! If you have an athletic or active dog, I’ll take your dog running the trails, swimming in the pond, and have all the fun in the outside world! If your dog is less active, I’ll give your dog all the comfort and love at home, making sure they are well fed and entertained.
“Mary is always reliable and great with our animals. She communicates well and takes good care of them when we are gone. She also listens to what we ask her to do with them including meds for our elderly cat.”
“She was very communicative and put my mind at ease with all the check ins. The cats loved Karina! She went above and beyond with the care for the cats! Highly recommend booking with Karina!”

“Kazuhiro and Akemi were fantastic with Bailey as usual. They sent multiple updates and photos all throughout the day. Bailey is given a lot of attention and love. Highly recommend them anytime!”
“We could not ask for a better first experience. Tanya took excellent care of our new puppy. From potty breaks to play times she was there with him sending updates and pics. We were able to enjoy our night knowing he was in good hands. Thanks again.”
“Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Cynthia was welcoming, communicative, professional, and genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. It was great to see the dogs playing together and enjoying her house and yard, so we'd absolutely have her dog sit for us again!”
“Claire is a standout. She communicates timely and effectively, is polite and professional, organized and most importantly she is incredible with dogs. Claire documented walks including duration, route and distance, and meals including time, amount of food eaten by each dog. Her feedback on my dogs' personality traits was spot on as well, demonstrating her care and attention. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!”

“Arlene was such a blessing. She took our 10 month old puppy for a day. She is a ball of energy and Arlene was kind and patient with her. She was good at communicating and drop off/pick up was easy.”
“Susan was wonderful! She was very caring with our little elder dog. Communication was great and we were happy to receive a photo of our dog having a comfortable stay with Susan. We appreciate you, Susan!”
“Sarah accommodated my daycare request at short notice and I couldn’t be happier to have chosen her! Both my little pups have special needs and she put me at ease with her communication and multiple photo updates. She was very thorough with understanding their care and I will absolutely use her services again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend if you are looking for a professional pet lover! Thank you, Sarah!”
“Jackie saved the day, offering to sit for my dog CoCo when the other sitter failed to come through for me. She is kind, thoughtful, responsible, and communicative, and I love her Black Cat! I recommend her whole-heartedly. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and size's. Friends, neighbors, and family often rely on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, energetic puppies, and pets with special routines. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight care, I always treat every pet like my own. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide morning, midday, and evening visits during the week. Weekends are open for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that’s clean, safe, and comfortable for your furry friend. I take frequent walks and make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I’m very mindful of leash safety, secure entrances, and keeping pets calm in new environments. Whether your dog loves outdoor strolls or prefers cozy naps, I make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for.
“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.”
“David watched our 6 month old puppy and did a great job. Drop off and pickup were easy to coordinate. He was very communicative, sending photos and updates throughout the day. And most importantly, our little guy came home happy and tired from a fun day of doggy daycare.”

About: We're a family of five who adore pets of all kinds! We had a wonderful dog named Peace for about six years and plenty of experience petsitting for friends and relatives. Due to travel commitments, we currently have no pets-- which gives us plenty of time to care for yours. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works on a hybrid schedule, which gives us plenty of flexibility and allows us to be home for the majority of the day. Our daughter is currently enrolled in online high school, so she has plenty of time to walk, care for, and play with your pets! We have a large fenced yard and are able to crate your pets if provided. We'll take dogs for walks a minimum of twice a day and let them roam in the yard/provide at least a couple more potty breaks.
“Jiayi is very attentive and takes very good care of Nigel on his daily walk. She is also very communicative and accommodating to any request we have regarding Nigel’s care.”
“Karen was great. She took the time to meet Sadie and understand her needs. The two walks were just enough to satisfy Sadie and give me peace of mind that she was being well cared for. Thank you Karen!”
About: I am a life-long animal lover that turned that love into a career after moving into my home with a fenced yard. I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I purchased my home with my dogs in mind as I've got a fenced yard and I wanted to make sure that they had plenty of room to run around. Your dog will be treated like family while they're staying with me. I have three dogs of my own that range in age from 2 to 12, so no matter what speed your dog likes to go we've got something for them. For anyone little who needs it I've got stairs to get up on furniture. My pup, Lego, LOVES to play and will welcome any playmates with open paws. We've got tons of toys and chews around the house and lots of beds and couches to lounge on if that's what they're into. Other than occasional errands I may need to run, I am home full-time with the dogs. Due to this, the dogs don't have a lot of opportunities to get bored…in fact I have many owners texting me after telling me how tired their dog was after staying here! I try to let the dogs be outside and play to their heart’s content (weather permitting, of course). I started Rover as something to do on the side to spend time with dogs, and it has grown to be a full time gig for me and I couldn’t be happier. Being around dogs is truly what brings me joy--it would be my pleasure to take care of your pup while you're away. WHAT KIND OF DOGS DO BEST HERE? My goal is to let the dogs interact and play as much as possible, so well socialized dogs do best at my house. If your dog prefers to be alone or has aggressive/anxiety-based behaviors, then I may not be the sitter for you. Please keep this in mind as you consider me as a potential dog sitter. I am not for every dog and we want to ensure your dog is comfortable in its environment. Please note that I do foster dogs for Chicago Rescue Authority. Foster dogs will never interact with any guest dogs until they have been fully vetted and thoroughly tested to ensure they can safely interact with the pack.

“Mary was so great with Milo, especially for his first walk with Rover ? can tell she really has a passion for dogs and making sure they feel comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly walker/sitter!”
About: I've always had dogs my whole life. Friends and family can always rely on me to take care of their pets or check in on their pets whenever they are out of town or busy at work. I will feed, walk, and play for however much time is needed. I currently work early mornings but there is someone always at the house to feed, play and keep your furry friends company! My whole day after work is completely open so I can't wait to take care of them. Huge fenced yard as well as a my own pet to play with your furry friend if needed. Plenty of toys to keep them occupied as well as plenty of treats to spoil them.
“Caroline is so dependable and truly great with dogs. Sue absolutely loves our dog and he looks so forward to playing with her. I have complete trust in her knowing Cody is in great hands.”
“Mario is a gem! Olive and I had such a great experience with Mario — he’s friendly, professional, and truly knows his stuff when it comes to dogs. From the very beginning, he connected with Olive and made her feel at ease. She was always excited to see him, and I felt completely confident leaving her in his care. What really stood out was how Mario handled an unexpected stomach issue Olive had one day. When he arrived for her walk, he noticed she’d had an accident inside and immediately recognized that something was off. Not only did he take care of the cleanup without hesitation, but he also kept me updated with calm, thoughtful messages and even brought rice on a follow-up visit to help settle her stomach. That kind of attentiveness instills so much confidence and really reinforces just how much he cares about the dogs he works with. Mario goes well beyond the basics — he’s compassionate, attentive, and clearly invested in the dogs he looks after. Olive and I are both so lucky to have found him. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Jackie has been absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She’s always on time, reliable, and has taken the time to really get to know each of them. Her patience and dedication have even helped with some training along the way! We’ve had a consistently positive experience and truly appreciate the care and attention she gives. Would recommend, thank you!”
“We had a great experience with Jenny! She was right on time and kept us updated throughout the walk. Our dog was happy and well cared for. We were very pleased and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

“Thao has kept my Golden Retriever, Sully, for two different stays when I have needed to board him when my husband and I travel. Once was for a 4 day stint and the other time was for a short weekend. She is very communicable via cell phone and responds to messages very quickly and responsibly. She has sent me updates of Sully with photos and videos and been very nice. It's been really great to be able to leave home and feel confident and trust that my dog is in good hands. She has even come to my home to pick him up before when I haven't had time to drop him off, and she's been very flexible and easy to work with. If you need to leave your pet with someone when you are vacationing, I would HIGHLY recommend her! I have been very pleased with both of my experiences with Thao and Sully always seems excited to see her, which says a lot. Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby, Thao!!”
“The guys were great with Louie again this week. They’re always reliable and keep him social and well cared for while I’m away! I cannot recommend them enough! My travel schedule has increased temporarily and it brings so much peace of mind knowing Louie people who truly care! Louie is extremely excited to see them during every drop off.”
“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!”
“We left our dog with Bob for 7 nights while on vacation and didn’t worry once. Bob sent daily videos and was very responsive and accommodating from the moment we booked him. A few days before our trip Bob worked with us to schedule a time to bring our dog by to meet him and for us to see his set up. Once we saw Bob interact with our dog and ty either dogs that were there we were confident that we made the right decision. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone and we will certainly book him again.”
“My dog was well taken care of and had a great time with Rico! He was great about sending photos and updates. I was unsure of my exact timing for drop off and pick up and Rico was so kind and flexible with me. Excellent experience and I'd be happy to have Margo stay with him anytime!”
“Kazuhiro and Akemi are lovely, warm, and caring dog lovers. They clearly love dogs and treat them like a family member while they are caring for them. They send lots of pictures, videos, and status updates. I highly recommend them.”
“My two dogs have differing personalities, one of them is very cautious around new people. Cynthia won her over almost immediately! I will definitely rebook when the need arises.”
“Hannah's care to my dog was wonderful, the photo she sent to me daily really assured me that Ling-Ling was at a sweet home away from home, that gave me a great relieve to be able to enjoy my vacation as I knew Ling-Ling was enjoying her great vacation with Hannah and her 7 years old daughter. I will book with Hannah whenever I need to if no conflict with her schedule. It's a great feeling that I will not feel anxious to plan vacation at the future anymore because I found Hannah.”
“Ian was a great host for our pup. We got regular updates and she seemed happy and safe the whole time. I think she missed her doggo friends when she came home! Would certainly book again.”
“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!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She sent regular updates and even taught my puppy how to use the stairs. She has an awesome backyard and cozy home for pets to enjoy and lots of experience, she even has a vet background the moment she held my puppy she knew he had a hernia which I did not even know until a vet told me and I did not inform her she was smart enough to notice on her own.”
“5 stars as always! As soon as we got off the car our dogs RUSHED inside of their apartment without even saying goodbye to us 😂 Can’t give a better review than that!”
“Miss Ada was in good hands with Sophie & Sean! They welcomed her into their home and made her feel like she was on vacation. I received regular updates and pictures and knew our furbaby was in good hands! Thank you Sophie & Sean!! <3”
“Makda and her family were wonderful! Luna took to them right away and she looked so happy and calm in the photos they sent. I get really nervous whenever Luna isn't with me, but I'm so, so glad we've found Makda and her family. Thank you so much!”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Remi went on so many adventures and had so much fun! I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home with me. I already booked another stay and will 100% use in the future to come! Thanks for taking care of my baby moose!”
“Natalie is Amazing sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear he was happy and well taken care of. We really appreciated her flexibility and would definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
