House Sitting in Des Plaines

Calvin (our dog!) was really excited to see Michael when he arrived. When we returned 4 hours later, he was happy to see us, but clearly was completely relaxed about our having left him for so long. This was the first time we’ve gone out to dinner in Chicago since we adopted Calvin 9 months ago! We’ve been working on his separation anxiety, and having Michael stay with him worked just great!

Loren is great with our two very different pups - an old lazy guy and an insane energetic guy. They're always happy to see her and we're grateful to have her around. Highly recommend.

Ellie took great care of our dog, Buster, for the weekend! She was very quick to respond and very professional. She sent us many pictures/videos and texts while we were gone to give us updates on how Buster was doing. She played with him and took him on walks and made sure to keep him entertained. She stayed at our house everything was neat and clean when she left. We will definitely be using Ellie again to take care of Buster!

Monica was amazing🌟 she stayed with my 2 dogs for 5 nights and quickly adapted to their routine and quirks. She was so patient with my little pup with his finicky eating habits and hand fed him.

Joanna did a marvelous job taking care of our English Bulldog Belle. We returned to find a very happy well cared for and healthy dog. Joanna's attention to detail and conscientiousness gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation with the knowledge that our Belle and home were in good hands.

Scott was awesome with our three dogs. We got a puppy three weeks before he came to stay and Scott came to our house twice before his stay to visit and learn all about the dogs. We can home and the dogs looked super happy and healthy! Wouldn’t hesitate to use Scott again!

Sadie took great care of Booker. She was responsive and very communicative throughout the sitting. Would book again!

Erica was amazing and helped me out of a huge bind. I missed my flight home and she helped out where I needed it. I couldn't have done it without her!

This is the second time I used Jo to watch my dogs. Not only is she attentive to their needs but she keeps Us updated as to what they’re doing while Jo is taking care of then. We get photos and written updates of their activities. She also made sure to tidy up The house before she left. Thank you Jo for loving our babies.

ZuZu loves when Gabrielle house sits! When we return after a few days gone it’s as if we were only gone a hour. Everything is just as we left it and ZuZu acts as if it’s no big deal we’ve been gone.

Sara was great and kept us in the loop the whole time she took care of our dog.

Ryan is absolutely amazing! He house sat my Westie puppy who is a bit of a handful and my cat, Nosey! He kept Tobi (the puppy) well entertained. They were both well taken care of and Tobi was so excited every time she saw him! Will absolutely rebook!

Kelsey was fantastic with my pup and house! She’s communicative, sent pics and videos, cared well for Zara and left my home clean. Very pleased with her service and will hire again.

This was our second time using Emma for an out of state vacation week and our first time with her sitting our newly-adopted second dog, and once again Emma was superb. We highly recommend her!

Charlotte arrived on time and took great care of my dog. She provided with me updates and pictures. I would highly recommend her.

I am sorry I waited a week before leaving this review; it took me a week to settle back into my life and to observe my dog, Clyde, after I had left him in the care of another sitter and Nicholas for four days each. My primary goal in booking through Rover was to ensure the care of Clyde. I am very pleased with Clyde's condition and energy in the week I have been home. As his care was split between two sitters, I would have to say that both gave him the attention and care that he needed. My other goal was the care of my house which, I believe, was also excellent. Highest marks to Nicholas and to my other sitter.
