“Boy, i feel really lucky to have come across Donna. Donna was awesome with Suzie. I was concerned since Suzie can be a feisty pup. But she took to Donna in no time and they really seemed to hit it off. Donna was very fast to respond and my mind was so at ease knowing that Suzie was in her care. I think that is about the highest praise i can possibly give.”
“Christine is the best! She’s watched my dog several times now, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in great hands. The backyard is a huge bonus and gives her plenty of space to run and play, which she loves. Christine is great about sending updates and photos, which I always really appreciate. It’s clear my dog feels right at home there, and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
“Elizabeth is amazing! She treated our pup Ollie like one of her own and made his stay feel like a true vacation. From fun adventures and plenty of playtime to the sweetest snuggles, it's clear she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. She sent us the cutest photos and videos throughout his stay, which we looked forward to every day. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Ollie had the best time, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“McKinley was the best sitter we could’ve had! She was able to accommodate to a last minute request. She sent frequent updates and my pup felt so comfortable in her house with her other pets. 10/10 best sitter in the area!”
“Faustine took such wonderful care of our pup! She provided frequent adorable updates and I could tell her was so at ease in her home. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“This is my pets second time and he does so well with Kelly. My Shih Tzu is very anxious and skiddesh and Kelly handles him with gentle care! I recommend Kelly to everyone!”
“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
“Erin took wonderful care of my dog while I was on vacation! She provided updates and followed all care instructions. Will certainly be using her services again.”
“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”
“Francise was great! She was able to accommodate us on short notice when our plans changed and was super sweet with Seamus. We got lots of pictures of him while we were away and I was very comfortable he was being well taken care of. I would absolutely use her again!”
“Stephanie and Luis did an amazing job dog sitting! Communication was great from start to finish, and they kept me updated with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. They were so welcoming and even created a special space in their home for Coco and Chloe. I’d definitely trust them and rebook again!”
“Allie is wonderful! She has watched my pup twice and each time I’ve felt confident he is being very well taken care of. She was also incredibly understanding after weather delayed my flight home and I had to pick him up much later than expected. Would highly recommend!”
“Nina was absolutely amazing while boarding my boy, Abe! She went above and beyond from the start — she even met me beforehand near my place since I don’t have a car, which was such a huge help. During Abe’s stay, she sent me tons of updates, photos, and the sweetest little stories about his day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Rae was absolutely great to work with when we had to take a trip shortly after adopting our pup, Moxie. It was clear from the meet and greet that she knows dogs well, and even though Moxie is still being trained on some things, Rae was great by giving us additional tips and tricks that we can use going forward and worked very well with her. Moxie had a great time playing with Rae's pups as well so it was great that she got some additional socializing too! We would recommend Rae and will be repeat customers”
“Jodee and AJ are great. They were so patient as I worked through multiple schedule changes with my job leading up to the booking. My two beagirls were right at home with them and I enjoyed getting a few pictures/update each day. Both came home happy and healthy. We'll re-book with them for any future out of town trips.”

“We were struggling to find a new cat sitter after having the same one for three years. Guiselle was a godsend. Did an amazing job with our two kitties, was always communicative, and they were so happy and calm with her. I feel so lucky that we found her!”
“Tara was great! She provided the perfect amount of updates and spent time playing with the kitties. She made things run smoothly - it was easy to know everything was in good hands while we were away. Thanks Tara!”
“We have worked with Carrie for years now with our cats. She is super responsive and great with animals, even those with medical needs. Absolutely our first choice when we go out of town.”
“Lisa did a great job taking care of my cat! He has some special food needs and she followed my instructions perfectly. He definitely enjoyed his time with her! I’d absolutely recommend Lisa to any other pet parents in need of a sitter!”
“Ann was so great taking care of my cat while I was gone. She provided great photos and was very good with communication! I could tell she cared for my cat like she was one of her own.”
“Heather goes above and beyond every time is caring for our cat in our home. Recently she checked in once a day for over a week and gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation abroad!”
“Hera was exceptional! She was communicative, respectful and a great fit for my cats. I could tell that the cats gravitated and opened up to her. I was able to enjoy my vacation and time away, without a worry. I will be booking her again!”
“Maggie took excellent care of my cats while I was gone, keeping me updated and attentive to their needs. I will definitely hire her again for my cat sitting needs!”
“Tiffanie did an amazing job watching our cat Pekoe while we were away. Pekoe doesn't usually take well to new people, but she warmed up to Tiffanie right away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, made plenty of time to play with and give affection to Pekoe, and gave us regular and thorough updates with each visit. Would highly recommend Tiffanie as a trustworthy sitter and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“I needed a last minute sitter and Erin quickly responded. She was fantastic and took great care of my little feline. Erin made sure the food, water, and litter box were always taken care. Everything went smoothly and I'd be happy to use Erin again.”
“Juliana was very thorough and detail oriented. She took great care of my cat, Annika, and eventually Annika, who is shy, felt comfortable enough to not hide when she visited. Juliana also provided great updates and photos while she pet sat. I would hire Juliana again!”
“Megan took great care of my senior cat, Betty White! My request was super last minute and Megan was a lifesaver. She was super communicative and was able to do my cats medication as well. Will definitely use her again!”
“Hillary is super friendly and played with our cat during vacation. She put our mind at ease and ensured Paprika had a friend in our absence! Would highly recommend!”
“Emily is a PHENOMENAL cat sitter! I cannot recommend her services enough! Great price point and super flexible with availability. I used Rover for the first time recently and during Emily's 1-hour visit with my cat, she provided ample photos of him as well as thorough notes on her visit (including notes on things he knocked over, his affect, ensuring his Litter Robot was working, etc.). During my time away, my cat had thrown up over a night that a friend checked in on and I reached out to Emily immediately to see if she could squeeze in a last-minute 30-minute visit the following day. She was (once again) thorough with her notes and photos. If you're an anxious pet owner, Emily is the right sitter for you. I plan on reaching out to Emily for her services next time my cat has to be home alone!”
“Aimee is a wonderful sitter, having sat for/walked our dog and cat several times!! I have so much peace of mind with Aimee and am super-grateful for the TLC she gives our super-social pets ❤️”
“Emma did a great job looking after Digby and keeping me informed while I was away. Her reports were very thorough and it’s clear from the pictures that Digby was happy with her company and care.”
“Savannah was a great sitter while I was out of town. She completed drop-in visits promptly and was very communicative during them. She provided photo reviews, and my boys LOVED her. 💙”
“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”
“Drew helped me when I needed last-minute care for my two cats. She was super kind, communicative, and brought it up to my attention when she saw that something was clearly bothering one of the kitties. It’s obvious she genuinely cares. Would book again!”

“Had a great experience with Fengyuan providing daycare for Marigold! Got lots of photo updates during the day and she made a new friend out of Chicago 🤗”
“Iuliia sent pictures and was very communicative throughout our dogs stay! It was a great experience having Pepper stay with her and we will definitely be back.”
“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
About: I I’ve grown up caring for dogs—especially large breeds—and genuinely love spending time with them. I’d be thrilled to help care for your dog and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away. I’m a registered nurse and work just three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home to provide attentive, reliable care. I am comfortable and experience in giving all types of medications as well and as a nurse I am very attentive to detail! I also have a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy of my own, Nola, so I’m very familiar with the needs, energy, and personalities of bigger dogs. We spend a lot of time playing in our backyard aince it is fully fenced, front and back, and going on neighborhood walks, and I’d love to include your pup in the fun! We have a huge backyard that your pup can enjoy and a playmate as well! Look forward to taking care of your pups :) I am currently looking for something part-time to pick up and help out here and there when it is convenient in my current weekly schedule I am a very trustworthy and organized person. Being on time is key as well as being able to fulfill the tasks that is expected.
“Aoife was wonderful with my dog. From the meet and greet to his day staying with her. My dog can be anxious and Aoife definitely had a calming, caring energy that had a positive impact. She responds quickly to communication and is helpful in very way. Highly recommend.”
“So happy to have found Nina & Chris for my dog. They were very communicative and gave many updates during the day. We did a daycare text-run ahead of a work trip I have scheduled in a few weeks, to see if my dog fit into their household. Glad things went well!”
“Haley was amazing with our little puppy!!! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch him, she had so many updates throughout the day! We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Leila was amazing!! She took wonderful care of my dog Mila, sent updates and photos, and made the whole process stress-free. My dog came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”
“This is a long overdue review. HK is AMAZING. Pompy loves going there for play dates with the dogs, love from HK and her adorable children. The care she tak s of him is heart warming. We al says know he his happy and safe with her. Thank you HK”
“Chang was wonderful in watching Mia, who immediately seemed at ease with her. Chang was able to get her to relax and eat some of her food and also treated Mia to a pup smoothie bowl that she enjoyed. We also appreciated Chang's prompt responses to our messages and all the pictures and updates she shared. We're glad we found Chang on short notice.”
About: I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your pup like family while you're away. I work from home full-time, so your dog will always have company and lots of cuddles throughout the day. - I only host one client at a time, so you dont have to worry about unfamiliar dogs during their stay. -Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles on the couch, or a slower-paced routine, I’m happy to match their needs. -I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. I also have experience with dogs with separation anxiety and food or environmental allergies. 📷 You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. **I live in an apartment building, so I can't safely accommodate large dogs that are reactive to people or other dogs, since it's not possible to completely avoid encounters in shared spaces.** I can accommodate regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet your dog’s needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I follow all care instructions, use leashes on walks, and provide a calm, secure environment with regular updates.
“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I live in the city and work for myself, so my hours are flexible! I absolutely love training dogs and puppies, as well as taking care of each animal as if it was my own! I fostered a few puppies, including very aggressive ones, and then happened to adopt the last one I fostered- my pup, Rosie! Rosie doesn’t live with me on the days I have available for pet sitting. I’m very good with reactive and anxious dogs as those are mainly the ones I’ve fostered. Also, I’m confident in high stress scenarios, including reactivity, health issue scares, or sudden crisis situations. I work from home as a business owner, managing my own hours. It’s easy for me to do a last-minute bookings or plan in advance. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, meaning, I feed and walk them at their proper hours, consider their feelings, and respect the wishes of their owners!
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
“Allie is great with Asher and took his special needs seriously. Asher made the transition to her as a new daycare very well telling me he is happy. I look forward to working regularly with Allie.”
“Fernie had a great first day care experience with Jodee and AJ! We did a meet and greet the day before with Maverik and their other regular day care pup, Winnie, to make sure everyone was compatible. Fernie had a blast sniffing and running all around the yard and Jodee sent me picture and status updates throughout the day.”

“Guiselle took great care of Lola! She was prompt and very responsive and sent lots of photos. She also took Lola on different routes every walk which I’m sure made Lola very happy to have some new scenery to check out! We would use her again and highly recommend her!”
“If my pug Mimi could leave a review herself for Haoran (Selina), it would probably go something like this: “I had such a lovely walk! Since I’m older now, I really appreciate someone patient, gentle, and happy to go at my pace. She took wonderful care of me and sent my mama adorable photos. I came home with extra treats and lots of tail wags. Her calm, sweet demeanor made me feel comfortable. My mama says she’s thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cares about every dog she meets. Can’t wait for my next adventure with her!””
“Daniel was great! He was super reliable, communicative, and made my dog comfortable. He prioritized good, long walks which was exactly what I asked for. Would have him back again!”
About: Having grown up with dogs of all ages, from high energy puppies to senior dogs requiring patient care, dog behavior and body language are second nature to me. I know cues to keep them safe on the leash, and the provide structured, attentive care they get at home.

I am available most days of the week during the day and some evenings. My schedule is flexible so I can easily accommodate your needs! I live in a pet free home and tailor to making sure your dog feels comfortable in any environment whether it’s my home or yours!

“Thea has been amazing with my dog, Elmo. He’s a bit hyper and she has been fantastic walking him, she’s consistent, and she is very communicative. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
“Tali had a great walk with Maggie! I appreciated that she came over to meet Tali earlier in the week before the walk and Tali loved her instantly. She was flexible with some time changes and kept me updated after the walk sharing lots of pictures. Will absolutely continue to have Maggie walk my pup!”
“Thank you Leo, very professional, on time and great communication! My pups are not the easiest but you made me feel at ease by handling the situation! Thank you Leo”
“We booked Erin last-minute and she was super easy to work with, communication was clear, and we know our dog was in great hands! Would definitely recommend her and we will book again!”
“Kimberly is a great match for me and my pup! She is very experienced with animals and dogs. She is reliable, responsive, and dedicated to her work. I can relax knowing he is safe and happy with her. Also, she is great at being flexible when the rover app occasionally glitches and always makes sure I know what Jett is up to.”
“Carolina has been great. She came out to meet our dog, Max, and was not at all put off by his size (95 pounds) or energy (overly enthusiastic), which can be intimidating. She keeps us posted on all of his walks, and (most importantly) Max seems very happy with the arrangement.”
“Julia walked my two dogs all summer while I was working. From the beginning, Julia took the time to make sure she understood my (very detailed!) preferences, always made sure she got things right, and was accommodating for schedule changes and when we moved. Julia was such a big help and I could entrust her with walking my two fur-babies. She is great!”
About: I’ve been a dog sitter for friends and family for over 7 years. I love dog walking and giving dogs the opportunity to sniff and play during their time outside. I also am a cat mom and cat whisperer. My family has 5 cats and I have 1 so I am very well versed in understanding cat body language and boundaries. I work remotely and have a lot of down time between my meetings. My work schedule is pretty flexible and I am able to take some time off during the day if need be for pet care. I live in an apartment, with many parks around me for dog walks. I have a balcony in my apartment and am vigilant to never let animals out there for safety purposes.

I'll definitely be using him again”

“Kerstyn was absolutely amazing! She was so kind to our dog, took the time to give me updates on how he was doing each day and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable (given he has a lot of anxiety). Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to have our dog stay with her again. Our dog Wilson came home more happy than ever! Thanks so much Kerstyn!”
