“This was our first experience with Rover and Kimberly made it really easy! She answered all our questions and met our dog in advance of her stay to make sure she would be comfortable. Our dog was clean and well cared for and happy upon her return. We would be glad to book with Kimberly again!”
“Maria was amazing with my dog!! I was so nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family. Lucy is a rescue so she has been through it. Maria and her daughter took such good care of my pup and sent pictures daily.”
“It seems like my dog had a great time! Ian was very communicative and responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures as well. Will definitely book again!”
“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”
“Jan was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog and treated our dog like family. We loved receiving regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and attention Jan gave our furry family member. We'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Laurianne and Sven were amazing! They sent updates and pictures each day and I felt like my pup was in good hands the whole time. Will definitely be using them again on future trips!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Carla was great with Bella & Speedy. I would definitely use her again. She provided updates during the visit, which put me at easy. She was flexible with the pick up & drop off times too which helped so much. The dogs loved her!”
“Kuma had a great time with Connie and her sweet dog, JoJo! Connie was flexible with drop off/pick up, communicative, and sent photo and video updates- I’d definitely recommend Connie for all pet sitting needs!”
“Noor and her family took such good care of our dog. She came home healthy and happy. Noor sent us photos frequently while we were gone. We highly recommend!”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jackie took such amazing care of Aomi! She made sure Aomi was comfortable and happy every single day. I really appreciated the daily pictures and videos — it was so nice to see how well Aomi was doing while I was away. Communication was excellent; Jackie always kept me updated and responded quickly to any questions. Her home has a lovely, welcoming environment, and Aomi clearly felt right at home there. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — we’ll definitely book with Jackie again! 🐾”
“Camille was an incredible caretaker for my dog while I was away on a trip. I really appreciated the regular updates on the walks that they went on and all the cute photos! My dog was extremely well taken care for and I could tell she has a wonderful time!”
“Karia took great care of Lovie, he had lots of yard space to run around in and other dogs to play with. Karia was also great with communication, and provided frequent updates on Lovie's stay. Would highly recommend and will be reaching out again when I need a dog sitter in the area.”
“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!”
“This was our second time leaving the pups with Arlene and she was wonderful as always! She was very accommodating when we had to travel last minute for a family emergency and we are grateful for her support. The dogs were happy campers and I appreciated the photo updates she sent when she got a chance!”

“Karli was great! ! Karli gave me a very detailed update and very detailed pictures of each cat. I appreciate how many pictures Karli took, it made me feel comfortable knowing my cats are out and safe! Karli was extremely responsive and flexible, and Karli helped us out last minute. Karli scooped my liter, fed my cats wet food, played laser, and plugged my camera in as a favor. I would highly recommend Karli to watch anyone’s pets”
About: I have two silly cats of my own who are well loved and taken cared of (and have been since coming home to me 5 years ago). I have also taken care of friends’ and family members’ cats as well during the past five years by feeding, cleaning up after, and playing with kitties. 🐱🐾❤️
“We had a great experience with Jackie. She came to our home daily to feed and check on our cat. Jackie was always on time, reliable, kind and cared about making sure our cat was comfortable and well taken care of. We loved seeing pictures she sent. Her son played with our cat which made us so happy and reassured that our cat was getting extra love and attention. It gave us a real peace of mind when we were away. We would definitely recommend her and happily book her again!”
“Amanda was FANTASTIC with my fur babies! They're normally quite shy, but she let them take the lead and wound up giving them belly rubs and chin scratches by the end of her visits! She gets my highest recommendation and I will be using her again!”
“Agnes was so kind and great with our cats. Even our shy cats made an appearance and over fourth of July weekend. She sent wonderful pictures and updates and I knew they were in great hands. Would definitely book again!”
“Heather is Amazing with our Fur babies!! She treats them both like her own :) I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their fur babies!! Thanks again so much for all your help!!”
“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!”
“Kind, patient & professional, Coleen went above and beyond to care for our cats. She was very communicative, provided detailed updates, and left our home in great shape. We would recommend Coleen and rely on her to look after our cats again.”
“Keri was so great with our 4 cats. She took such great care of them. There were some detailed feeding instructions and she followed them completely. She opened the windows for the cats while she was there (weather permitting per my request)so they could watch the birds. When out wifi went out she helped us out with rebooting the router. She was able to get the visits in when the weather was really bad. Great communication and we loved the daily pics she sent. She was so wonderful with our cats, we could not have been happier.”
“I've only ever had family members check in on my best cat buddy, Vinny, and I was apprehensive hiring a sitter for my 4 day vacation. I have to say Saskia was amazing and was able to get my shy cat to warm up to her within just a day or two. Saskia sent me plenty of pictures and her report card on her visits were thorough and put my mind at ease. She was on time at every single visit (and for our pre-interview), and she was very responsive and communicative, which I love. Vinny, my 10 year old domestic short hair became comfortable with Sas and allowed her to brush him and give scratches. He doesn't warm up to just anyone, so that says a lot. I will 100% book with Saskia going forward, and I'll recommend her to anyone who asks. 😻😊”
“Super sweet. Definitely my new designated cat sitter. My kitties love her!!! Attentive and communicative. You can tell she loves all the pets she watches.”
“Helped out very last minute for long term care of 2 cats. Great communication, reliable, and helpful. Great experience and would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Emily took wonderful care of my senior kitty while I was away. She brushed him, cuddled with him and did an excellent job making sure he took his meds, his litter box was cleaned, and his food/water were replenished! I returned home to a very very happy cat! I look forward to having Emily drop-in to check on Boomer during my next trip!”
“We found Sarah through a mutual dog walking friend and we’re so happy to be able to work with her! She’s so communicative and also so flexible with schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Ray came prepared with a list of questions and sent us the photos and videos of our cats that help us feel comfortable while we're away. He genuinely acts to help them and us in any way possible. We'll be glad to work with him again!”

“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.”
About: I’ve cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats throughout their full life span, from puppyhood and kittenhood to senior years, including pets with special senior care needs. I’m confident handling large dogs and focus on structured walks, mental stimulation, and enriching playtime. As a psychotherapist, patience, intuition, and compassionate care come naturally to me. My schedule is very flexible I'm currently part time and work from home. I can be available on notice from 9am-10pm. I am able to do daily and weekly care/walking/play. I have a fenced yard. Two cats who are used to visitors and other animals. I can also crate animal if requested, use baby fence and adapt to living requirements specific to client needs.
“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.”
“Janessa was absolutely amazing! Her communication to understand my dog prior made me feel so comfortable, and the attentiveness/updates while Berkeley was at her home made me feel so reassured and trusting. Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!”
“Casey is an amazing sitter! We had a meet and greet beforehand. Usually Millie is a little scared of people when she first meets them, but not with Casey. Millie went right up to her and walked around the park with her without any issue. The day of, Casey sent us updates and photo of Millie’s stay. Millie had a good nap when she got home, so we know she had lots of play time to tire her out. We will definitely book Casey again!”
“I am so blessed to have found her not far from home to watch over my 13 months old high energy puppy. After the first dog sitter he came to crash in his crate. He had no energy to not even jump. As first time dog owner- I have no idea what I’m doing but Jackie sure is a dog whisperer.”
“Sundae absolutely loved her time with David. David constantly updated me with pictures and updates of Sundae and treated her like a dog of his own. Highly recommend for anyone looking for Rover services.”
“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!”
“Hands down one of the best sitters EVER! My cuddle bug had been going to her previous sitter for about 5 months and was still trying to warm up to them. However, after a week with Jonelle, Gina was wiggling her butt ready to go. One day she just walked into Jonelle's house without turning back to say bye or to whine. She's truly amazing and makes sure your dogs are treated as part of her family. Her family is just as great about letting your dog have space and build up comfort to bond with them. If you want someone who has great communication, is compassionate, and loves on your dogs (to the point you might consider your dog a traitor) then Jonelle is absolutely the person for you. All around a great person and sitter.”
“1st impressions is everything. It was Friday and we needed a puppy sitter on Sunday for Kira. Our first time using Karina and she took our Kira with open arms and a smile. Taking care of Kira included not just feeding and potty breaks, but also socializing with her dogs and a couple of videos of play time. THATS LOVE! Highly recommend her for puppy/dog parents who want a pleasant experience for that special member in the family. When we took Kira home, she was so exhausted from the fun she had with the other dogs, she was asleep for the rest of the night.”
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”
“My shy, anxious beagle had a blast at Valerie’s, didn’t want to come home! I appreciated Valerie’s patience, flexibility, and ability to be both laidback with my pup while also giving her space to indulge her zoomies. Plus, we got lots of pics throughout the day. Thanks for a wonderful stay, will use again!”
“I need a pet sitter when my dog had a surgery and have to wear a cone . Camille took Benny on a short notice. He had a great time with her and her husband Joe . He came home happy and exhausted from playing and walking. I cannot thank her enough for all the love and care they provided Benny during his stay. We are lucky to have found her . I have already recommended her to my friends . Benny will sure come back.”
“Elva is a great person and helped me care for my dog who has IVDD and has some special needs. She spoke with me on the phone and text several times to discuss how to care for my dog. She is a genuinely caring person and I am thankful for her help!”
“Sasha is great! I have an unpredictable work schedule that she was totally willing to accommodate. She has a great personality and is a good pack leader for the dogs. Her house is an inviting environment with a nice backyard for the pups to run around in.”
About: Hi, my name is Rick. I would like to start by saying my schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired from the Office of the Chief Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County. My family and I have a home that has plenty of space to accommodate your pet. We have an 11-year-old son and also have three small dogs of our own that are extremely friendly, playful, up-to-date with all of their shots, and in great health. I believe pets complete a home. I am extremely passionate and enthusiastic about the care and needs of all types of animals. My experience in Pet Care began from having my own pets and caring for the ones of family and friends over a span of 40 plus years. I have also fostered a few dogs over the years. I have a substantial amount of experience with cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, hamsters, turtles, fish and so many others. My goal is to ensure your comfort and confidence, knowing that your pet will be loved and cared for as if it were our own. Should your pet require any medical attention or medication I am completely capable of providing this service, while in my care. We hope you consider us. I look forward to providing a caring, efficient service for your pets. My schedule is extremely flexible, as I am recently retired. For the exception of dropping off and picking up my son from school I am home all day to provide attention and care for your pet. I have a large yard with a privacy fence and three friendly, small dogs to keep your pup company. If preferred, I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Leslie was sweet and kind. She sent several pictures of mello our puppy and responded almost instantly and when I picked up the puppy, he was super calm and he seemed like he had a great time. I recommend her instantly.”
About: I have cared for and owned dogs since I was 10 years old. As of this past year I also cared for my senior dog giving daily medication (oral and topical). I am a mostly stay at home mom. I work 2 hours a day during the school year otherwise I am home and available to care for your pet! We currently do not have any pets in our home. We have a large fenced in yard and I can also take your pet on multiple walks during the day.

I communicate effectively and promptly with pet owners to confirm safety & lock up procedure of the home as well as when any other safety or environment concerns arise.

“Zoe was ready the minute Jo walked in the door. She kept sitting for Jo while she patiently worked to get Apollo (husky/shepherd mix) ready for his walk and was willing to leave with Jo at the end of their session, which is proof of how good Jo was with our pups. We look forward to scheduling more walk sessions with Jo for both our furbabies in the near future.”
