“Katherine is very attentive and bonds quickly with your pet. She has her own small dog who seems to welcome other pups. She offers an intimate setting with great yard space. I think the setting is great for medium to small dogs. She also offered daily updates and pictures that calmed our nerves. If she is available, I will bring my pup to her again. I think my dog learned a few things as well!”
“Emily was so wonderful with my 5 y/o lab mix! She was super easy to communicate with, and Frankie loved staying with her - she didn't want to leave. We'll definitely be asking Emily to watch Frankie again soon.”
“Yeju was great!! She gave an update each day with pictures and took my pup on plenty of walks. She even baked some dog treats to share when picking up. 10/10 would book again!”
“We love this woman and her family! They always provide excellent communication and our pup is always a happy tired boy! Elizabeth has kept him countless times and we always feel safe leave our son with her.”
“Katrina was so amazing with Bella that I’m sure Bella will now have higher expectations of us! 😅 I’d trust Katrina completely— even with an anxious dog. I can’t recommend her enough.”
“Always helpful and accommodating, so communicative ! Milo is always so excited to stay at her place. Happy to have such a reliable dog sitter that I can trust.”
“Ashley and her daughter treated our dog as if she was their own! Regular updates made me feel so confident that she was well taken care of. No issues with the other dogs she had in her care that weekend either. Will definitely book again!!”
“Stacey is BEYOND wonderful! This is Rosie’s 2nd stay with her, and she does not disappoint. She goes above and beyond, sending pictures and videos every couple hours with updates. Can’t wait for Rosie to stay again!”

“Toojan was awesome with BMO! She really knows her stuff when it comes to cats and was super attentive to what BMO needed. Loved getting daily pics and little updates on how BMO was settling in. She’s also just really sweet. Would totally book again and definitely recommend!”
“Kamiah watched Luna and we couldn't be happier. She sent consistent photos and videos, and it was clear they were having a great time. Luna was so happy when we picked her up, and then promptly fell asleep all night, so I know she was getting at it. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”

“Linde and sons looked after Nala for the second time while we were gone for the weekend. Like last time, they pampered Nala with home cooked meals and lots of attention and exercise. They also shared lots of pix that let us see how much fun Nala was having at their home. It's great to be able to feel relaxed and confident that Linde is treating Nala with the same love and care she gives her own dog, who, from the sound of things, is also welcoming to Nala. Thank you!”
“Ashley is the best!! Hadley just had his third stay with her and from all the pictures she sent looked like he throughly enjoyed himself, and he came back healthy and happy. Ashley is so easy to coordinate with and even picks him up and drops him off, which makes my life so much easier as I’m trying to pack and get things ready to go. So glad I can send him off to her whenever I need to be out of town; I miss him but I know he’s happy and that Ashley’s taking great care of him!”
“Simply put, Dwight is everything you’d want in a dog sitter. He works from home, has a yard, and makes sure the dogs have a lot of activity. He is incredibly responsive and sends great photos to keep you updated. Beyond that, he’s just an awesome guy. I have a demanding schedule and he is incredibly flexible and willing to accommodate. Will use over and over again.”
“I’m more thank pleased with care Ashley & family provided my beloved grandpuppy?. Her response time to any of my questions were immediate. She provided me with Chase interacting with her family. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely be a returning client”
“Communication with Tiffany was quick and straightforward. She offered to do a meet & greet as early as the same day, which I appreciate. She showed me her space and made Malcolm feel so welcome. She shared pictures and videos while I was away. Even took him to the beach! This was my first experience with Rover and I feel like Ive found my pups forever sitter!”

Washington Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
I chose Willy because of his proximity to me, his reviews, and his rates. He is kind and accommodating. I actually confirmed with him a bit later than I said I would but he still graciously accepted our two pups. It’s true what others say that he sends lots of pics. In just a 24 hour period we got pictures in the afternoon, the evening and the next morning. And from the looks of things, Willy actively engaged with the pups the whole time; they’re not just left out in the yard. I think the most important thing for me is that my dogs will have the same kind of experience that they enjoy at home, including plenty of human contact. I think that’s why we all choose in-home boarders, right? And that’s exactly what they got. Anybody who can engage and stimulate a loud, demanding, beagle bark machine gets 5 stars from me every time. I would book with again.
Kamiah & Casius were great with my fur baby. It was my first time using a service like this and I was so nervous. Kamiah was understanding of my nerves answered all my questions. She sent daily photos and videos. She was understandable with my travel delays and when I picked my dog up she was smiling and continued to do so for the rest of the evening. There were no stress signals or behaviors from my dog and she was right back into her routine at home. Thank you for taking such great care of Macci!! Will definitely use again
Tiffany was amazing! My first time boarding and she did an amazing job all while easing my fears. Tiffany provided up to date pictures and took care of my baby as if he was her own. Book with Tiffany you will not be disappointed. For the price and care! I will always boom with Tiffany! Thank you!!!
Dwight was great! He looked after my two pups while I was away on a family vacation. I could tell that he took the time to get to know both of them and treated them like extended family. He sent picture updates and was flexible with the drop off time. Next time I have to go out of town, I’m def booking with Dwight!
Christian was an awesome sitter for my beloved fur angel. I needed to find a sitter last minute as my usual sitter had a family emergency. Christian was within walking distance of my home. Took Oakley to her second favorite park (which he lives by) in the neighborhood regularly for catch. Sent me updates with photos and was very communicative when needed. I honestly cannot recommend him enough, I swear I think he might have even given her a bath before I picked her up. 10/10 experience, would absolutely recommend.
If you are seeking a great sitter or dog walker, look no further! Dashawn is an amazing sitter and genuinely like animals. He is very communicative, would send me updates and was more than happy to accommodate my special requests. It was my first time leaving my pooch with a non family member and I wouldn't hesitate to use Shawn again!
