Personalized care for your dog or cat - River Forest
Highly-rated overnight sitters - River Forest
“This was my second time booking with Maria and she was once again great! Provided me with lots of updates and I knew Julio was having a good time. I would definitely recommend Maria!”
“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!”
“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”
“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.”
“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“Katherine and her family are beyond wonderful. They took such great care of our dog Rosie that at times we felt she was the one who was on vacation! Knowing your dog is safe and well cared for when you’re away is important. Knowing that she’s safe, well cared for AND loved is a gift.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Angelica! My shih tzu is a nervous boy with special needs and Angelica was so wonderful to him. She took expert care of his eye (he needs one cleaned a certain way) and was so good to him when an unexpected thunderstorm rolled through on one of the nights he was staying with her (he absolutely hates thunder). Her home is set up perfectly for dogs, too. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!”
“They were really great with my two boys and they came back home smelling soo good and looking soo happy I will definitely be using you guys again great service 🤩”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“Jenny is a fantastic dog sitter! We were a bit nervous to leave our 6 month old puppy when we went out of town. But Jenny took fantastic care of her. Jenny gave her lots of love, attention, and exercise. We would definitely re-book with Jenny in the future!”
“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”
“I was nervous leaving Slayer with someone new but Angel made it so easy by checking in frequently and sharing photos/videos. Slayer had furry friends to play with and had a great time. Rest assured, your pup is in good hands!!”
“Hello my name is Lisa I just recently had a trip planned with my family and usually one of my older children would stay with our dog for Verdell but this time all my older kids were going so I was kind of in a panic didn't know who would take care of our dog she's never been left alone with anyone except family and never more than three hours so I was a nervous wreck I decided to Google rover and ended up booking a meet and greet with Cheryl I was very nervous but Cheryl made me feel very welcomed and at ease Verdell seem to get along very well with one of the dogs that she had already staying there we don't have Verdell round many dogs so that was another concern it turns out that Cheryl was an amazing person as well as a fantastic dog sitter she kept us notified and posted on all of Verdell daily activities She sent photos to see Verdell with the other dogs When we picked Verdell up she didn't seem too excited to see us at least not as excited as we were to see her so funny Verdellis back home and walks around looking for her other doggy friends it's kind of sad Idont think she wanted to leave anyway I would highly recommend Cheryl she is absolutely wonderful and took wonderful care of our baby thank you Cheryl for everything and I will definitely be in touch for our upcoming vacation thank you again for everything”
“Thank you so much, Malchom and family, for taking such great care of Atlas! We booked last minute, and Malchom was incredibly accommodating. We’re so grateful to have found a sitter close to home who is communicative, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Atlas was in great hands!”
“Adolfo is a top tier sitter! Our dog Aria loves going there and getting to meet and play with the other dogs. Our original sitter was no longer available and I couldn't be happier to have found him. He was super accommodating when Aria had a TPLO surgery last year and helped her with stairs, medication and leg stretches. Aria can't wait to go back!”
“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”
“Great communication. Very friendly and wonderful with the pets (cat and dog). Felt very comfortable they were well taken care of during our week long vacation.”

Cat caregivers near you - River Forest
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.
“Marissa was fantastic! We booked her for the first time over a holiday weekend, and we couldn’t have been happier. She was very responsive and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Melanie took phenomenal care of my two cats while I was away on a somewhat lengthy trip. Her evening posts were reassuring and allowed me to really relax and enjoy my vacation. My cats are very comfortable around her.”
“Justice is great! She is reliable, friendly, and sent thorough updates and pictures while checking in on Cooper. Everything went super smoothly and we'd be happy to work with her again!”
“Maria was absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies!!! She was so detailed and loving with their care. She even was able to accommodate a last minute change in schedule. She’s been the best and our babies LOVE her!!! We have found a permanent caregiver in Maria!!!”
“Matthew provided exceptional care for my cat during our time away! His communication was consistent with daily photos and updates. We returned home to a calm, happy cat - I would absolutely book with Matthew again!”
About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and truly understand their unique personalities and routines. I’ve owned two cats and have experience with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, and giving cats the space they need to feel comfortable. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on their cats while they’re away, and I always make sure each cat feels safe, calm, and cared for. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to changes in behavior, and I treat every cat as if they were my own.
“Sofia was great with my cats and made the whole process easy from start to finish. It was my first time using Rover, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. Communication was clear, everything was well taken care of, and I came home to two happy cats. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“I can't say enough great things about Jacqui! They went above and beyond while checking on my dog, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pup was in such good hands. Not only did they make sure all the basics were covered—food, water, bathroom breaks, but they also took the time to give my dog some love, playtime, and attention, which made all the difference. I got regular updates (including some adorable photos!), and I could tell my dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear that Jacqui truly loves animals and treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy. I'd recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry family members. Thank you so much for everything!”
“Yulissa is an amazing pet sitter. She took great care of our four cats, two of which are quite elderly. Because of different dietary needs for each cat and medications the instructions are quite elaborate, but that was no problem for Yulissa. She is an excellent communicator, and she made sure to give as a daily update. We would be very happy to have her take care of our cats again!”
“Ellen was amazing with my shy cat. She made sure to take lots of pictures and followed up about how my cat was doing. She was extremely sweet and very thoughtful. I felt totally at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Natalie did a great job with my cat maki! Maki is usually very shy and slow to warm up with new people but natalie was very patient and kind and was able to earn maki’s trust. I love getting updates and photos, and i felt very comfortable knowing maki was in good hands. Highly recommend, would definitely book again!”
“Samantha was great with the cats. They let her pet them the first time she met them. She was very understanding of the complex situation I was in to have someone watch my daughter's cats.”
About: I’ve had cats in my life forever. I raised my first cat from age 10 through marriage. I’m currently bonded to an 18 year old Balinese. I understand cats need their own routine, space, and quiet time, and I’m happy to give them exactly that while you’re away.
“I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️ I was honestly so nervous about leaving my sweet kitten, Gemma, since she’s still so young, but she completely put my mind at ease from the very beginning. She took such incredible care of Gemma and treated her like she was her own. She constantly sent me pictures, videos, and detailed updates about how Gemma’s day was going, which meant so much to me. I never had to wonder how she was doing because I always knew she was in the best hands. What impressed me the most was how quickly Gemma felt comfortable. Within the first hour, she was already playing, exploring, and acting like she was right at home! It was obvious that she felt safe, loved, and happy, and that speaks volumes about how caring and attentive she is. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet, communicate with you, and make your furry friend feel completely at home, look no further. I would trust her with Gemma again in a heartbeat, and she’ll absolutely be my go-to cat sitter for all future trips. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my sweet baby! 🥹🐾💕”
“Jamie Q. is an outstanding sitter. My cats, who are seniors aged thirteen and twenty, have special needs, and she did an excellent job of feeding them and administering medication to one of them twice a day. The cats enjoyed going out on the balcony to feel the sun and the breeze. Jamie also took pictures of them waiting for their food, eating, and drinking water from their fountain. They felt comfortable and well cared for. I truly appreciate her kindness and the effort she put in over the long weekend. Her work was remarkable. Kudos to Jamie Q.!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - River Forest
“Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!”
“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”
“Deijah L took good care of my dog Nikko it was his first time in a long time that he’s been away and I can tell he enjoyed his time there. When I picked him up he was calm and content . Deijah was super sweet and sent me pictures of him during his stay and gave me an overall review of his time there at pick up.”
“Jenny was great! My dog has anxiety and she made her feel comfortable and took care of her with walks and was careful to avoid the other neighborhood dogs as requested. Will definitely use Jenny’s services in the future.”
About: We are the proud owners of an adorable dog (Ace) and are adept with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Everyone in the house (Micah and I) work from home full-time, so the dogs will never be left alone. Ace is always great host and will have a lot of fun with his new furry friend 😊 Ace (a miniature poodle / Bishon mix) can mingle with any visitors but can be separated upon request. Please bring dog beds and food. We can’t wait to host your little friend! We work from home full time and plenty the time to dedicate to watching and playing with the pups! Morning walks, afternoon potty breaks, whatever the dogs needs are will be met. Fenced in backyard and large park across the street for long walks. Perfect environment for your dogs staycation! As a proud dog owner ourselves, the pups are never far from our minds and will get plenty of attention…maybe too much lol
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
“Rhae was very responsive, kept me updated during my dogs' stay, my dogs seemed happy! She took the time to walk them a few times while they were there just for the day. Very easy to work with, definitely recommend.”
“Ruben was amazing to help me with a last minute request for my senior dog who loss the use of his legs the day before. His kindness was very appreciative.”
About: I am at home full time so I am available to always keep a close watch of your dog, take your dog outside a numerous of times. I have been sitting dogs for about 4 years now. I have experience breeding and raising chows (which is a very hard breed to raise especially for first time dog owners). There is a dog park right across the street from my home your dog would love. And around the perimeter of the dog park is a dog path. I normally walk the dogs around the dog path and then play fetch and some other games in the park. I have a gated backyard so they are allow to play back there as well. I am close to a Walgreens and across the street from a pet store so if they need anything I have easy access to that.
“Carmen was amazing. I was totally at peace to leave my 3 month old puppy with her. She was very responsive and gave regular updates throughout the day. Oreo had an amazing time with her. Thanks Carmen!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Yuetong was very sweet and gentle with my super anxious pup! It seems he easily warmed up to her and her pups. He came come a very happy dog! She sent lots of photo updates which I very much appreciated. Will definitely be booking in the future.”

“Jacqui was an excellent dog walker. She was accommodating on short notice, very communicative, and punctual. My pup got along with her well and he seemed to enjoy the walk! Will definitely be using Jacqui to walk my dog in the future.”
“Stacy has been walking my dog Mavis for over a month now. She is a great communicator, prompt, follows instructions great! And she just loves my dog :) I know my baby is in good hands when she comes over for walks.”
About: I've been walking and dogsitting for neighbors for the last 10 years, and have 8 years of sitting experience. I focus on the dogs first, respecting their routines, needs, and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. I am currently unemployed outside of creative ventures, so my schedule is extremely open and flexible. I am around when you need me to be. I will be unavailable on Tuesday afternoons. I've been raised around dogs since a young age, having two collies in my youth and a poodle since 2019. I take main walking and feeding duties for my current dog, Kat.

I trained my family’s dogs many basic skills and have practice administering medications. I love all animals and would be honored to take care of yours! I’m currently in graduate school, looking for a part-time job; and would love to help take care of your pets! My current schedule is open for any day of the week, anytime. I am happy to feed, walk, crate, or simply play with your dog or cat! I am quite flexible and have stubborn dogs of my own, so I know all the tricks of getting pups to do what you need them to do.
About: Hi! I'm Eloise, I've grown up around animals since I was a baby. My grandmas always had cats and dogs (poodles especially lol) and I spent lots of time with their pets and cared for them when they were away. I have had my own cat since I was 7 and at 15 my family got our first dog who has since passed. We now have one dog, Twiggy and the same cat who is still kicking! So, I have lifelong experience in loving, responsible, and attentive pet care. I also frequently care for friends, neighbors, and other clients dogs and cats. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes and personalities! I also have experience with caring for animals with specific health needs, giving them medicine, etc. My cousin is a vet and I have learned a lot from her! I would love to be a sitter or walker or just a buddy for your pet and I will always treat every pet I care for like my own, with so much love!!! I am currently home for the summer from college so I have a very open schedule! I can be there for your pet whenever needed and am happy to work with you in terms of scheduling to meet your needs! When sitting in someone else's home I always respect the space I am in and keep it the way I found it - I am a very clean and organized person! I of course will respect any home rules or expectations and I make an effort to discuss these prior to care to make sure that everyone is comfortable. I am also more than happy to send pics or even facetime if you miss your pets while you are away and want to be assured that they are happy and healthy <3
“Jaya was fantastic with Lucy! She took her on long walks and sent many pictures which made me feel at ease. She was also very communicative and sweet. I will definitely book her in the future. Thanks Jaya!!!!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, they’ve always held a special place in my heart. From dogs and cats to horses and more, I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, explore, or simply enjoys calm company, I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own fur babies! As a licensed esthetician, I create my own schedule & have the flexibility to work around your pet’s routine, making scheduling stress free for both of us. You can count on me to be dependable, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving, capable hands. Pet care has always been a natural part of my day to day routine because I’ve grown up around animals & have cared for pets for majority of my life. I work part time as an esthetician, meaning I can create my own schedule, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, visits, & overnight stays! The pet’s safety, comfort, & routine would be my highest priorities. I like to take the time to learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, etc so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience being around cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every animal has different comfort zones and boundaries. Whether your pet is shy, playful, independent, or needs extra patience, I always respect their pace. I’ll l keep your home clean, follow your instructions carefully, & provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family members are doing.🐾
“Sou Lynn was fantastic! She got along great with Daisy and took fantastic care of her. Sou Lynn also took great pictures and provided timely, thorough updates about the walks. I’d highly recommend her!”
About: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care tailored to their unique needs. I'm patient with puppies, attentive to senior dogs, and committed to keeping pets safe, active, and comfortable. I communicate regularly with owners, provide updates after each visit, and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their families. Being a school teacher, and having the summers off, my schedule is very flexible. Daily walks and sitting is a phone or text message away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their regular routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while ensuring their environment stays clean. I also administer medications if needed, monitor their well-being, and send regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

“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!

“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.”
“Katherine and her family are beyond wonderful. They took such great care of our dog Rosie that at times we felt she was the one who was on vacation! Knowing your dog is safe and well cared for when you’re away is important. Knowing that she’s safe, well cared for AND loved is a gift.”
“Jenny is a fantastic dog sitter! We were a bit nervous to leave our 6 month old puppy when we went out of town. But Jenny took fantastic care of her. Jenny gave her lots of love, attention, and exercise. We would definitely re-book with Jenny in the future!”
“I was nervous leaving Slayer with someone new but Angel made it so easy by checking in frequently and sharing photos/videos. Slayer had furry friends to play with and had a great time. Rest assured, your pup is in good hands!!”
“Thank you so much, Malchom and family, for taking such great care of Atlas! We booked last minute, and Malchom was incredibly accommodating. We’re so grateful to have found a sitter close to home who is communicative, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Atlas was in great hands!”
“Adolfo is a top tier sitter! Our dog Aria loves going there and getting to meet and play with the other dogs. Our original sitter was no longer available and I couldn't be happier to have found him. He was super accommodating when Aria had a TPLO surgery last year and helped her with stairs, medication and leg stretches. Aria can't wait to go back!”
“Our daycare we normally go to had a bordatella outbreak so we couldn’t use them for the weekend we were celebrating our anniversary. We’re so glad we found Ruben! He was very quick to reply and sent plenty of pictures — which we love. Our dog also requires taking medicine which he was able to do with ease and texted a confirmation with us when he gave it to our dog. He was a great substitute and we’re hoping to have our dog stay with him again soon!”
“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!”
“Jasmine was amazing to work with. We have an elderly dog who needs gentle care and Jasmine definitely provided that. We received frequent updates and pictures which put us at ease knowing our dog was having a great time and in caring hands. We highly recommend Jasmine for your pet care needs!”

“Sophia and Andy were super accommodating. Never had to ask for a picture because they were on top of it. You can tell how much they care for pets. Made me feel like my dog Morrie was really well taken care of. Morrie came back happy and content :) Definitely recommend. Thanks so much again”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
“Sproutie had a fabulous time with Lech and chill dog friend Rizzo when my husband and I popped out of town for a couple of days. We loved seeing updates about Sproutie that showed he was living the good life, from walks to cuddling and time in the park!”
“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”
“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”
“Alyssa was so with great with our pup! She provided updates, sent lots of photos and it was obvious she genuinely cared for him. He even came home with a cute report card. I’d highly recommend Alyssa!”
“Ian is incredible — very professional, easy to communicate with pre-stay, and took wonderful care of our Leo! Especially appreciate the many many photos he shared, so we could see how much fun he was having!”
