“Kent was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Chloe. Chloe is a difficult case because she can’t be alone because of her separation anxiety she can’t be with other dogs because of her reactivity. This makes her somewhat high maintenance. Kent was able to handle and he loved taking care of her! I’ll be back to ask Kent again to take of Chloe for the upcoming holidays. Kent is very communicative and and just an overall sweet, wonderful, caring and competent person.”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Lyn & her husband were great! Super accommodating and I received constant updates and pictures while I was gone. She also surprised me and had my pup groomed when I picked him up! Looking forward to using them again ?”
“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“Rosie's love and care for our two dogs, Charlie and Peanut, was excellent. We boarded our ten-year-old special-needs dog (Peanut) and our fourteen-year-old senior dog (Charlie) for a few days with Rosie. She was able to administer medications and handle the different needs of each dog. We also greatly appreciate the help of Rosie's little dog, Bella and her daughter, Ruby. We have already booked a second boarding stay with Rosie due the confidence we have in her care for our doggies. Hooray!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Liz was great! Bella was a little anxious at first, especially staying in someone else’s house, and Liz was very communicative about that concern. We got photo and video updates every day of the stay and appreciated the quick responses when we asked for updates. We don’t travel often, so it really put us at ease seeing Bella’s happy face running in the yard and knowing she was taken care of!”
“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!”
“Patricia took great care of Tess for us! She was very communicative and send lots of updates. Tess came home happy and healthy! We would definitely ask Patricia to help us with Tess again”
“This was the first time using Rover and Kasia was great. Our puppy came home happy and content. Kasia was quick with responses and also kept us updated while we were away so we felt comfortable that Aurora was in good hands. We will definitely leave Aurora with Kasia going forward! Thank you for all your love and care Kasia ♥️”
“Michelle is a LIFE SAVER! After Elmhurst Animal Hospital wrongfully canceled my boarding reservations at the last minute, I scrambled to find someone to watch my 3 small dogs. I found Michelle and she was quick to respond and accept my fur babies for the stay! Michelle and her 2 little girls took AMAZING care of them, sending update reports and pics too. This gave me peace of mind that they were being well cared for! Michelle was also very accommodating when I needed to drop them off early than originally scheduled. I will definitely be utilizing Michelle's services again in the future!”
“Bonnie was wonderful while my shihpoo stayed with her for 5 days. She texted me updates and sent pictures, reassuring me my dog was doing fine without me. I would highly recommend Bonnie to anyone needing their dog cared for while you are out of town. I plan to use Bonnie again.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Sana! My pup was well taken care and happy! Sana kept me posted about his daily activities! So impressed with her service. I have another booking set for July! Thank you so much Sana!”
“Mary was fantastic with Baxter. He came home happy and not stressed (which is not usually the case when we stays away from home)! I will use Mary again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Amberley was wonderful - communicative, flexible, incredibly kind and took wonderful care of Wrigley on short notice. We especially appreciated photos and updates and the frequent walks and outside time he got in her care. So thankful!”
“Kelly took great care of our dog! She checked in and sent pictures and videos. She took him to run around and play fetch, go on walks, and treated him like one of her own pets. We so appreciated the peace of mind having him stay with her while we were out of town.”
“Tatiana was the best! She was very accommodating with a last minute request for a new client on Mother’s Day weekend. She sent pictures, gave updates, and you could tell our puppy Champ was having a great time. Tatyana was very professional courteous and we will be using her again in the future.”
“Justine and Brett took excellent care of our Dexter while we were on vacation. He is high energy and got lots of exercise and attention while we were gone. Would definitely recommend them and be using them again!”
“Eileen is great! Our Molly spent a weekend with her and I think she really enjoyed Eileen and being with the other pups. She was well cared for by Eileen and we received daily updates with pictures which were so nice to see! We didn’t worry about our puppy at all. We will definitely reach out to Eileen again in the future.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Cat Sitter – Punctual, Responsible, and Caring I cannot recommend Mariela enough! She is incredibly punctual, responsible, and attentive to my cat, Simba. From the moment I hired her, she was highly responsive and kept me updated, which made my vacation completely stress-free. Not only did she take excellent care of Simba—who absolutely adores her and thrives under her care—but she also went above and beyond by taking out trash. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly set her apart. Thanks to her, I could enjoy my trip knowing Simba was in the best hands. In fact, I’m already looking forward to my next vacation because I know she’ll take care of everything perfectly! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter, look no further. Simba and I are so grateful for her outstanding service, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Victoria kept an eye on my cat while I was out of town - everything went great. She was super communicative and friendly, and we came home to a happy cat. I would definitely recommend!”

If you’d like to learn more, feel free to reach out! 🐾
“Panda our cat loves Kelly. She sends us pictures and gives us updates and we appreciate her taking care of Panda. Its our first time leaving Panda to anyone and Kelly made it very easy for us and assured us that Panda will be taken care of. Highly recommended.”
“Meghan did a very well taking care of my cats. While Scully hid from her she coaxed her out on 3rd day! I was only gone from Friday to Sunday so with a longer booking they would have been more comfortable with her. Everything was well taken care of, my cats are just very shy. Meghan was great with updates and photos! I will definitely book her for my next trip!”
“Liz has once again taken great care of our boys 🐈🐈⬛. This time for an extended period and even with additional flexibility as our travel plans changed short notice. Would highly recommend Liz and will be booking with her again”
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter for our cat! She was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure Poppy was well cared for. She even noticed when the automatic feeder was low on food and made sure to refill it, which I hadn’t thought to ask her to keep an eye on.”
“Hannah was wonderful with my cat Genevieve and just does really well reading cat cues to make sure Genevieve was comfortable with her. It made me feel really confident with leaving Genevieve in her care!”
“Velvet was great looking after our cat. Responsive and came with specific questions about how to look after him. She also went above and beyond when we had some surprise flooding in our basement. Will book again”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands‑on experience with animals, both personally and professionally. I have cared for my own pets and entrusted animals for decades, and I have built my entire career around responsible, observant and compassionate animal care.
“To put it simply Warda is amazing! She comes prepared when you do a meet and greet with her, prior to an official booking. She has a checklist of questions and gives you knowledge, since she is a cat mom herself. When she is taking care of your fur baby, she updates you with every visit and sends pictures, videos, and a very thorough summary of what happened during her visit. She offers to tidy up the house before you come back from your break as well. She is very observant (for example she got my cat Milo a water dispenser since she noticed I didn’t have one). Overall she is a very thoughtful, welcoming, and knowledgeable person and I know that Milo enjoyed having her around. Don’t hesitate booking with Warda, you won’t regret it!”
“This is my second time booking with Giselle and she was, again, amazing with my two cats. They are quite active and mischievous, and got into some trouble while I was away. Giselle seemed patient with them and cared for them well.”
“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”
“Knowing Bethany will be taking care of my cat while I am away makes my life a lot easier. She always provides quality care and great updates. I am so glad I found her!”

“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”
“Dave watched our 8 month old puppy and did an amazing job! Just from the meet and greet we had a good feeling about about leaving our pup with him. The whole process was just super smooth. His dog Roxy is awesome and was a great playmate and companion for our pup. She is older and handled our puppy's energy well! Dave text us photos with an update. He was organized with a clean/pet safe house and seemed to really bring Milo into his home and take great care of him. We will definitely use Dave in the future!”
“I've had my dog Lana in doggy daycare now for a few days. So far Lana is loving it. She comes home tired and happy! There's already an improvement in her socialization skills, especially when I walk her. She isn't as agitated when a dog walks near us and is calm. Love Patti! She provides updates and pictures and you can tell she knows dogs. I will keep taking Lana to Patti's doggy daycare!! ”
“My puppy was happy and tired when I picked her up which means she had a full day of movement and fun! I am so appreciative and happy with the service. Very accommodating and timely as well.”

“Bonnie is absolutely the best. She was attentive to my puppy’s individual needs and communicated with me throughout the day which was so reassuring. My pup loved to spend time at her home. Her dogs are the most well behaved dogs I’ve ever met. Bonnie and her family love my puppy as one of their own, and this is the reason we will definitely go to her again and highly recommend her care. ♥️”
“She is an incredible professional. Her energy, knowledge, and passion for training dogs really stand out. She doesn't just work with the dogs—she also teaches owners how to better understand and train them. Scöll always comes home happy, relaxed, and excited after spending time with her, which says a lot about the care and dedication she puts into her work. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog trainer.”
“Michelle is amazing, the absolute best! I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with her. She is extremely patient and accommodating. When I was late on pickup due to my crazy hours as a nurse, she was extremely sweet and flexible. My puppy is young and still learning and she was very adaptable with her. I love that my pup was able to socialize with her little ones which allowed her to have fun while getting some energy out. I’m so happy to have found someone that loved and cared for my girl as much as I do! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for daycare!”
“Sana was the best sitter anyone can ask for their furbaby. She kept me informed throughout the day how my Simba was doing with videos and messages. I am beyond grateful for her attention to my Simba.”

“Mariela has been my five-day a week walker for my two Labradors for the past two months. She has shown great care with my dogs. Having a senior dog and a puppy is a challenge, but Mariela recognizes their individual needs and is very patient with both of them. I’m glad to have someone I can trust taking care of my pups each day!”
“Beth was my first Rover walker ever and I was glad to have found her! She was 100% reliable and was always keeping my pup’s best interests in mind! She always made sure to send pics/summaries of the walks which was nice. I would certainly recommend Beth to anyone searching on Rover!”

About: I have had a love for animals since I was a young child. At the age of 8, against my parents wishes I snuck in an abandoned cat and it ended up being where my love for animals began. We have had many types of pets since then. Currently we have a 3 year-old German Shepherd whom we rescued from a shelter at 4 months of age. We also have a 1 year old Australian Cattle dog who is super energetic. I love spending time with animals, dogs in particular, because they are so playful, happy and full of unconditional love. I am responsible, caring and will take great care of you pet because I know that they are not only “pets” but are also members of your family. I will care for your pet like I would care for my own pets. I work full-time as a nurse practitioner but just started working some days from home. I figured, why not do something I love while also getting exercise at the same time. Note: the only breed of dog that I will not board in my home are pitbulls. My daughter had a traumatic experience with a pitbull so she is very triggered by that breed. I will gladly watch pitbulls in your home and care for them outside of my home. I think they do get a bad reputation for being an aggressive breed but due to our experience, we unfortunately don’t feel comfortable having them around our children. I am able to mainly available for pet care on the weekends. I am able to accomplish most evening/late evening or very early morning walks. Every other Tuesday I work from home so am able to break up my schedule this day. I care for my dogs in my backyard, which is fenced in. She is able to run around freely because we do have a large yard which allows her to burn off her energy. We also play fetch and she is able to spend a lot of her time running around there. We also go for walks around the neighborhood.

I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”

“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”

“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.”
