“This was our first time using Rover and Sylvie was the best! We have a high energy puppy and she handled her with no complaints. It was clear Millie was having a blast every day in her yard and pool which made us feel even better being away. We even had a cancelled flight so had to extend her stay a night and it was no problem. Thank you Sylvie!”
“Beth was excellent! This was a great experience, I would definitely recommend Beth (and her sweet little dog Gracie!) and will be sure to reach out to her again when needed. Thank you so much, Beth!”
“Very satisfied with the care my dog received while we were away. Communication was quick and seamless before and during the stay. I would recommend anyone to her & will definitely be rebooking again in the future!”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“Ruby had a wonderful stay and made lots of new friends. I’m grateful to have a place where I feel comfortable leaving my fur baby and knowing she will be well taken care of 💕”
“Tami was friendly and professional. We felt very comfortable after meeting with her, her family and her dogs. She was very sweet to our golden retriever and attentive. She maintained regular connections with little messages and photos each day. Would love to use her again for a future stay.”
“Enas and her daughters took great care of Rusti. She is very much Mamma’s girl and doesn’t do well when I’m away but she did great with Enas. I will definitely look to use Enas’ boarding again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and other family members dogs for years. I would take them out every hour or so (or when it’s needed) I would feed them on how the owner would want me to feed them if they have a schedule set, I would play fetch with them if they want attention. I’m currently unemployed so I have all of the time to help with others with their pets and I do not mind going by the schedule you make if it’s needed:) I have a fenced back yard but it’s opened for the driveway, I have two chihuahuas but they’re a harmless, I have a son that has a disability that is careful around dogs.
“Magda and her family took great care of Coconut. She felt as if it was her home. They sent pictures and updates all the time when we were away. We will surely go back again. Thank you very much”
“Ana is the BEST. She accepted to take care of Jack on short notice. From the moment we arrived at her home I felt at ease and welcomed. Her attention to detail is amazing (I guess the engineer in her). I had mentioned how Jack loves walks so she made sure she walked him and gave him all the time he needed to sniff. I am very happy we found Ana and Jack looks forward to spending time with her soon.”
“We are so happy we found Dawn. This was the first time we have used a dog sitter, so we were maybe a bit over protective on choosing the right one for our puppy. Dawn had so many great reviews that I had to reach out. We had a meet and greet and felt very comfortable with leaving our puppy with Dawn and her family. The reason we were needing a dog sitter was because my husband and I were expecting our first child. She was incredibly flexible with the length of stay as we were unsure of when we would be able to leave the hospital. She kept in touch and sent pictures to ease our minds. We will be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for your fur baby to feel at home while away for theirs. Thanks again Dawn!”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“Debbie and Reggie did a great job with my dog Jake. They were flexible with pick up time when my return flight was delayed and I found Jake happy and well cared for. They sent me great pics throughout my vacation which gave me peace of mind that Jake was well cared for. I will book them again when I go out of town.”
“Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.”
“I cannot recommend Kelly and her family enough! They took exceptional care of my Goldendoodle, Biscuit, while I was on holiday. This was Biscuit’s first time away from me, and as a pup, I was a little nervous about how he would adjust. However, Kelly’s warm and welcoming nature immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated, making sure I knew he was happy and well cared for. It’s clear that she and her family truly love dogs, and their kindness and attentiveness made all the difference. Biscuit came back happy, healthy, and well-loved. Kelly and her family will absolutely be my go-to for pet care moving forward. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, I highly recommend Kelly!”
“My pups couldn't have had any more fun!! Julie, her husband, and their child couldn't have been any more commentating. We went to Julie's place for a few days before for a sniff, and Julie and her husband were so accommodating with our high energy Viszla. Throughout the time our pups were there Julie sent us pictures and updates. One of our Vizsla is super energetic and loves to play. Our other Vizsla is rather calm and loves to be a couch potato. Both of our pups may have different personalities, but Julie and her husband could not have been any better for us and our pups!! We will definitely be coming back!!”

“Katherine is amazing! We have a very shy cat who typically hides from people and Katherine won him over right away! She took great care with our cats and was excellent at communicating with us. We never had to worry at all! We will definitely hire her again and can't recommend her services highly enough.”
“We felt so good knowing Olive was in Art's hands while we were away. His friendliness and knowledge made Olive feel comfortable while we were gone. Art kept in touch with us and sent us pictures after having some great play time. We will definitely use Art again.”
About: I have experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I know great helpful training techniques. Also, I grew up living with dogs up until now. I have a full time Hybrid job. I work from home 3 days a week and the workload has been fairly light. I currently live with no furry friends and am missing the connection with them. I want to hold off on adopting right now so I thought the best way to fulfill my wants of having a dog will be through this app. I have no fenced in yard or much of a yard at all. My home is spacious though, so there is enough room for your pet to be comfortable and play indoors. I have 3 reptiles that will stay in their tanks and do not cause disruptions. They also love watching other animals from afar.
“Nicole is a gentle and kind care giver who help our family by talking care of our beloved dog, Maggie while we were out of town for a memorial service. Normally, we take Maggie with us when we travel but this time it was not possible. Our daughter recommended we use Rover to find a sitter for Maggie and that's how we found Nicole. We arranged for Nicole to drop in during the day periodically to ensure Maggie was taken care of. Nicole was always on schedule and sent us photos of Maggie everyday. Nicole's daily reports gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing Maggie was doing well. We highly recommend Nicole. You can truly trust Nicole to provide a high level of quality care for your four legged family members when you are away from home. Our sincere thanks to you, Nicole.”
About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I specialize in cat sitting with a deep understanding of feline behavior and care. I’ve always had a natural interest in animal behavior studies, which grew even stronger while working as an assistant zookeeper and studying veterinary science. For the past four years, I’ve cared for my own cat, Sage, and in that time I’ve learned so much about the unique needs, quirks, and personalities that cats bring into our lives. From feeding and playtime to providing a calm, safe environment, I make sure each cat feels comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them the attentive care they deserve.
“Kisha was an awesome sitter for my two cats. From her pictures, I saw they got plenty of playtime and love. She also went above and beyond taking care of the house. She definitely will be a go-to sitter for us!”
“Marissa was very professional I like the fact that she was qualified to care for dogs because of her work at a pet clinic and college background. She made sure to take notes for the care of my senior dog Ginger. she took pictures and made sure Ginger was comfortable before leaving. I would highly recommend Marissa for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Everything was great, just as all the past times were. The cats seemed happy and healthy and I didn’t worry one bit while I was gone because Amanda always takes great care of them. Extremely happy with the service provided!”
“Laniece was a clear and consistent communicator. She watched my 2 cats for one day. One of my cats is *very* shy. I made it clear to her that I didn't expect her to even see the cats, just to do the chores, because I've had sitters who never set sights on him. Even so, she spent the time to coax both cats out and get them to spend some time with her. This is nothing short of a miracle, I have friends who have never seen him. I sincerely appreciated her commitment to my cats, her clear communication, and her availability on short notice. Will definitely book again.”

“Tiana has been visiting Bronson for a few months now and has done great with him. She clearly has a passion for animals and has also given a well written review with all the details of his care.”
“Kaylyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and ensured Chloe was enjoying her stay while getting in a good mix of cuddles and exercise. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your fur babies!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. Aside from my own pets, I went to Wilco and did their Vet Assistant class my senior year. I took care of a variety of animals, including ferrets and bearded dragons. I loved health care, but would like to go into Radiology once I complete the prerequisites. I am currently a pharmacy technician in training. I work evenings Sunday-Thursday, so I am perfect for mid-work walks or weekend sittings. If given advance notice, I am able to adjust my schedule. I own 2 dogs, one is a pitbull mix and the other is a husky. I am comfortable with high energy dogs and enjoy long walks. I had a senior dog who passed last year at 15.

“Denise was honestly incredible! It was pretty short notice and some people wouldn’t watch Caesar because he’s a pitbull, she rearranged her schedule to watch him. She gave me multiple updates and pictures throughout. When I came to pick him up, she gave me a painting he made (with the help of peanut butter and plastic wrap I assume)! 1000% recommend”

Although I do work at a hospital, in my spare time I decided to incorporate something I’m passionate about into my everyday routine… dog walking/sitting! As an avid people and animal lover, you can count on me to safely care for your pet. Safety is my number one priority. I always ensure that collars and leashes fit appropriately, fences and gates are closed, crates are secure and that your pup/cat is out of the way of any hazards. I can easily identify signs of heatstroke and I always ensure that your pups paws don’t touch hot pavement in the summer months. Water is also a must after walks! I am transparent and believe that it is best to follow the owners requests so I will work with you to develop a routine that fits the needs of your family and your pet. I also ask that if you are leaving a spare key, it has “do not duplicate” engraved in it. Lastly, I will always ask permission.

“Katey has been AWESOME with Willie and working to accommodate our family’s schedule. Katey has tons of experience to match our high energy Irish Setter. Willie’s mood and behavior at home has improved since his walks with Katey!”
“Haily was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough! She took care of my 14 year old Maltese Poodle, Sisco, for a week while I was in Colorado, walking him twice a day and making sure he was fed and well cared for. Normally, I have family watch him because he tends to get anxious when I’m away, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new. Haily completely put my mind at ease. She was so kind and patient with him, and it was obvious from all the updates, photos, and detailed commentary that she genuinely cared about him. Seeing how happy and comfortable Sisco looked in every picture meant so much to me. It made being away from him so much easier, and I knew he was in great hands. Thank you, Haily, for taking such amazing care of my little guy. I would absolutely book with you again!”

About: I love animals and have a pretty flexible schedule for boarding, care-taking, or walking services. I love being outdoors but am also a home body at heart, which is why boarding is very fun for me. I’m a teacher, so summers and breaks during the year are great times I can commit a lot of for pet care. I also get off work earlier than most, so I would be around for early afternoon walks. I’m home most weekends which is when boarding would work best for me. I don’t have any other pets at my home so there would not be any issues with other animals. I am also very trustworthy if needed to be at a client’s home.
About: Have always had dogs my entire life. Love to play and cuddle with women's best friend. Taking walks along the way getting our steps in and enjoying the nice day. Have raised several types of dogs. A saint benard and a few Labies and now I have a vezla named Jake from state farm. That was his name at the shelter when my son found him. It was to cute to change. Our pets are our babies. They Also need some great sitters and I would love to help take care of some fur babies. I occasionally take care of my sons dogs when they go out of town. One is a Chihuahua and one is a pity. I have to say that the pit bull is sweeter then the Chihuahua lol.
About: I grew up with a Great Pyrenees, a Bichon Frise and 2 cats. Since then I have had many beloved pets of my own. I have cared for them through all stages of life, in sickness and in health. I feel completely comfortable with any medications or extra care your fur baby may require. Over the years I have cared for many of my friend's and neighbor's pets when they have been out of town. I have also groomed friend's and neighbor's animals, including nail trimming, toothbrushing and ear cleaning. I love to walk, and be outside, a game of fetch, yes please! I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I have recently moved back from Florida to Chicago. Shortly after my beloved dog Arby lost her battle to lymphoma. I miss our 2 hour morning and afternoon game of catch. I have open availability, and can care for your pets whenever the need be. I have 2 cats that have grown up around dogs and kids, they are both up in age, but are super friendly and very chill. I have a fenced in yard. I love to walk and play catch. I don't mind having to clean up an accident, and feel comfortable caring for animals that require some extra TLC.
About: I have taken care of friends and family and fellow neighbors pets ranging from yorkies to bull mastiffs. I was responsible for taking them out, feeding, play time, walking, and just spending time with them. I love animals no matter how big or small they are. I work part time at night. I am very flexible with pet sitting needs. I have no rigid schedule which makes it easier for me to take of your pets. I always make sure to keep a eye on your loved pets and make sure all their needs are met. Guarantee you’ll come home to a happy dog!
About: Hi nice to meet you all! I started doing Rover because I use to work in vet med and have missed getting to work with animals and their owners. I love working with animals and greatly enjoy the time I spend with them. I do work full time so I do Rover on my off days and before/after my full time job. I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats but small pets also(this includes parrots, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats, mice, gerbils). I am always available to answer questions to pet parents about how their pet is doing in my care, and willing to accommodate additional care instructions as well. While your pet is in my care you will receive a Rover card from each visit/stay with photos provided. I am trained in pet CPR and have experience with senior pets and any medication needs that your pet may have. I am also experienced with shy pets as well and will always allow your pet to take their time to get to know me and warm up to me. My number one goal is that your pet is comfortable, happy and healthy while in my care. I do require a meet and greet to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and a good fit as well. House Sitting. I have recently reopened up house sitting services in your home. I am available each day to ensure your pets and home are taken care. walks if asked for by the owner(no additional charge for these!), play time, food and water checks and any medications administered if needed. Small Pet Care I also have experience caring for small pets and birds if you need your small furry or feathered ones looked after while you are away. I have experience with birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, rats and mice. Care for these guys will include food and water checks, attention and if needed a spot clean of their cage as well, along with any medications needed if these are required. Boarding/Day Care I have just opened up boarding and daycare(daycare only on select days when I am not working my full time job). Boarding requirements include any dog under 35lbs due to having cats that can be skittish around larger dogs. Your dog must get along with cats and small animals and be okay with being home alone for a few hours a day. Up to date on vaccines and a trial visit will be required to ensure your dog is a good fit to stay with us. Dog Training. I am currently finishing a course through Good Pup offered by Rover and am so excited to be offering training to existing and new clients once I complete my certification! I do work full time but I do have availability before and after work to care for pets and am available on my off days as well for pet care. I will always ensure to respect your home and ensure it is in the same condition as when you left your pet in my care.

“Very satisfied with the care my dog received while we were away. Communication was quick and seamless before and during the stay. I would recommend anyone to her & will definitely be rebooking again in the future!”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“Ruby had a wonderful stay and made lots of new friends. I’m grateful to have a place where I feel comfortable leaving my fur baby and knowing she will be well taken care of 💕”
“Tami was friendly and professional. We felt very comfortable after meeting with her, her family and her dogs. She was very sweet to our golden retriever and attentive. She maintained regular connections with little messages and photos each day. Would love to use her again for a future stay.”
“Enas and her daughters took great care of Rusti. She is very much Mamma’s girl and doesn’t do well when I’m away but she did great with Enas. I will definitely look to use Enas’ boarding again.”
“Ana is the BEST. She accepted to take care of Jack on short notice. From the moment we arrived at her home I felt at ease and welcomed. Her attention to detail is amazing (I guess the engineer in her). I had mentioned how Jack loves walks so she made sure she walked him and gave him all the time he needed to sniff. I am very happy we found Ana and Jack looks forward to spending time with her soon.”
“We are so happy we found Dawn. This was the first time we have used a dog sitter, so we were maybe a bit over protective on choosing the right one for our puppy. Dawn had so many great reviews that I had to reach out. We had a meet and greet and felt very comfortable with leaving our puppy with Dawn and her family. The reason we were needing a dog sitter was because my husband and I were expecting our first child. She was incredibly flexible with the length of stay as we were unsure of when we would be able to leave the hospital. She kept in touch and sent pictures to ease our minds. We will be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for your fur baby to feel at home while away for theirs. Thanks again Dawn!”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“Renae was great! Our dog is a 6 month old puppy. We got him weeks before we hired Renae and were very worried about how he was going to do and if he was going to be okay. Renae went above and beyond the call. She took him to parks and the beach and kept him busy the whole weekend. She sent daily updates (sometimes even twice daily) that included pictures of him enjoying himself. We are first time dog owners and she did a great job of relieving the stress of leaving a dog so young with a stranger. She even gave us a few pointers that she's picked up on in her time with dogs. She's a true professional and I'm very impressed with the quality of care we received.”
“I'm so happy to have had Natalie watch my fur baby. She's was incredibly professional, responsive, and shared lots of updates while Coby stayed with her. I feel very comfortable having her watch my pup again in the future.”
“We always know our fur baby is in great hands with Diana and Brian when we go out of town. It’s so comforting to know he’s staying with trusted, caring friends! Thanks so much Diana and Brian!”
“Clarissa was so amazing with rotini! She went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well and having a great time. Her dog, Rue, was the perfect playmate for my dog. Would rebook with her anytime!”
“Katie and her family were so amazing with our baby dog. She’s like a totally different pup! She doesn’t get upset in the crate, her bitting has dramatically dropped, and she’s much more claim throughout the day. I cannot thank her enough for taking ivy in on short notice and letting her be apart of her family. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Pat went above and beyond to care for our senior pup who is prone to some anxiety. She took care of our dog as if she were her own. She provided lots of updates and pictures and we knew that our girl was in very good hands. Pat has a nice, big and fenced-in backyard which we know our dog enjoyed exploring. Communication was quick and easy from the meet and greet through the entire visit. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“My babies are absolutely spoiled and we were very hesitant to leave them with a stranger. Denise treated them as her own, taking them out often and giving them the many many cuddles they need for daily survival. I was surprised at how well behaved her young pitbull was with my little ones, too. One of my dogs was having an issue with his coat and she cooked him fresh sweet potato and eggs and he came back looking even better! She has so many toys and blankets and even let them come home with their favorites! My extremely anxious girl loved her from minute one! She never lets people touch her but in all of the photos Denise sent there my dog was, right by her side!! She gave them bandanas to match their personalities and im so glad my pups had a vacation of their own while we were away! Would definitely recommend her!!”
“Jen & Larry are just the best! We always feel so relaxed knowing our pups are in their hands while we’re away. Our kids love seeing the daily pics/updates they send to us too <3 We’re so lucky to have found them!”
“My dogs seem to have a great time. Loved the pictures, Alexis and her family took great care of my 2 pups they came home happy and healthy. We Will definitely use Alexis whenever she is available. Thank you very much.”
