Dog Boarding in Rochester, IL

“Rick took wonderful care of our dogs. He kept us updated on how they were doing (they did great!). He and his wife are such lovely people who clearly love all animals, especially dogs. The house was totally dog-friendly and very safe for our dogs to be in. That put all my worries to rest. We could enjoy our vacation knowing we did not have to worry a minute about the dogs. This was the first time I have ever used Rover. I am sure Rick and his dear wife spoiled us because I can not imagine anywhere else could have been kinder to our dogs. I love their philosophy on life, family and dogs which came through very clear. Thank you Rick and family for being there and caring for our dogs. You are very, very special people!”

“Left my pit mix with Carrie while I went on a weekend trip and she did a fantastic job. Sent me an update on Saturday that he was doing great. Definitely recommend.”

“Karen is absolutely amazing. My Abby is well taken care of and she helped us out when we lost power for 8 days. I never had to worry about my Abby which is a huge relief”

“Anna is hands down the best dog sitter out there! She adores your fur babies like they’re her own. Always on time and organized, takes and sends pictures to assure you your pet is living its best life with their new friend, and is always reliable! Can’t recommend her enough.”

“Chloe and her fur kids were amazing in caring for my small dog, Bailey. Communication was above and beyond what I expected with frequent updates including photos. I was able to be away for two nights, with not a single worry as it was very clear Bailey was being cared for just as much as I would have. It was obvious that Bailey had a great time and she got tons of attention! I will definitely be leaving Baikey with Chloe again and would highly recommend her!”

“Angelly was amazing with my puppy! Great communication and photo updates. As a first time Rover user in need of a dog sitter, Angelly couldn’t have been better! I will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!”

“Claire is AMAZING. My pup is usually very anxious in new places and with new people but she is so welcoming and loving to my dog! He was super excited to return to her house this past weekend and get to hang out with her two dogs again. She was amazing in texting updates as well as giving Boone his own report card at the end of the stay. Claire is the best!!”

“Madi watched both my dog and my parents' dog for a weekend while we were away and both pups had a blast! Madi and her family always take such great care of my dog and are also fantastic photographers so if you book with her, expect a few pics of your pup :) Thanks Madi!”

“John has an easy, calm demeanor that put my senior dog at ease pretty quickly. I could tell when I picked up my boy that he was chill and happy, which is very much appreciated.”

“This was our first time with Sara and everything went great! Wrigley seemed happy and Sara communicated with us every day. Wrigley and her dog, Roxie, did very well together even though Wrigley has not been around other dogs much. I would highly recommend Sara!”

“Sarah was great with our dog and provided plenty of updates that we enjoyed. She was also flexible with us when some of our travel plans changed. Would book with her again!”

“Carlos took care of our 100+ lb boxer/lab mix for an afternoon and he took good care of him. They became quick friends and even watched TV together on the couch. Thank you Carlos.”

“I met Taylor through our love of dogs through a local rescue we both volunteer with! Taylor has always been able to care for all types of animals from special cases, to easy going! Taylor is reliable, dependable, and very responsible when it comes to animal care! Taylor's home is clean and tidy, and set up to accommodate different animal needs. Lastly, Taylor's communication skills are professional, personable, timely, and honest! You will NOT regret allowing Taylor to care for your pet, as it will be treated as family, while under Taylor's care!”

“Kari is a rare find!!! I am new to the area and have used Kari a few times. Her and her husband are very kind and great to my dogs. My dogs used to come home from being boarded at a facility and sleep for days from being so stressed. I pick them up from Kari’s and they are ready to play!?!! Highly recommend ❤️❤️”

“My dog is super energetic and doesn’t listen very well but Ashley was super great with her and was even able to get her to nap. She was happy when I picked her up and I had no problems booking with her. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi!! I’m Jessie 🐾 I’ve taken care of dogs pretty much my whole life! But I really got into it while I got my Bacehlors of Science degree in Zoology at SIUC. I then worked at a dog boarding facility where we boarded dogs during the day and overnight, did baths, and doggie daycare. I of course always owned my own dogs and cats. I then worked at a Pet Hospital where I assisted in surgeries, drawing blood on cats and dogs, giving vaccines, giving medications via injections or orally. A lot of times at the dog boarding facilities we would train puppies during the day, and of course I’ve had many puppies of my own. I’m currently working full time. I do work remote (at home) Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I could take a fur baby out in the morning 6am-7am, 12:30-1pm, and 3:30pm-4:30pm. Weekends are open!! I can do late nights Tuesdays and Thursday as well. Message me and we could always discuss more in detail, I’m flexible!! I will care for every animal like it’s my own! So many kisses, hugs and snuggles!! I’ll treat your house with respect. With my animal handling experience and vet assistant knowledge your pets will always be safe with me!

“Barb is a big dog lover and spoils them like crazy. I’ve left my two dachshunds with her for a weekend many times and she always takes the best care of my babies.”

“Emily took great care of my dog Neko! He is a husky so sometimes he is a lot to deal with. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“This was our first experience with rover and it was a wonderful experience. Amanda had excellent communication, was super friendly and had a beautiful home for Bob to hang out at for a couple of days. She shared frequent updates on how he was doing. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since childhood (30+ years) I’ve trained several puppies and currently take care of five elderly pets. I’ve changed any number of puppy pads and given many baths. I work part time house cleaning and can travel as needed. Checking in on the animals or staying at your place for peace of mind. **If you’re more than 1/2 hour out from Springfield I would request a mileage fee** Pets in my house will be sequestered or caged if needed or there is conflict. Otherwise they’ll have a happy healthy playful environment with lots of love and exercise.
