“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“Jasmin was absolutely amazing with my Zoey! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby with her. She sent me pictures, videos, and daily updates, and I could tell Zoey was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. Zoey was so excited to meet her and settle in for her stay! Unfortunately, Zoey got sick during the visit, and Jasmin truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and willing to do whatever she could to make sure Zoey was comfortable and well cared for. Having someone care for your baby with that level of patience and compassion, especially when you're away from home, means everything. I can't recommend Jasmin enough! We already know exactly who we'll be calling for our next vacation. We officially found the perfect sitter for Zoey! ❤️🐾”
“Our pup was in excellent hands with Mary! She was able to help us out with a last-minute request, and took great care of Sandy - sent us pictures & updates and was easy to communicate with. We won’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Rachael did SUCH an amazing job taking care of Scooby! She had excellent communication and I loved the updates she sent. Scooby can be a bit anxious and reactive with other dogs and Rachael was great with her. I could tell Scooby had a great time and would have happily stayed longer!”
“Janey takes good care of my dog Lucy. She is very attentive. She takes her for walks. Lucyenjoys playing with her children and especially with her dog Koko. She sends pictures and communicates well. I never worry when I have to leave her with Jenay. My mind is at ease.”
“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”
“Kelly is absolutely the best! She is always so accommodating and super sweet when it comes to our dog who needs insulin shots twice a day. She makes sure he gets all of the snuggles he needs to make him happy. I’m so thankful to have found her.”
“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”
“We had a great first experience using Rover with Nicole as our pet sitter! Our kitten, Paris, stayed with her for four days and was clearly happy and well cared for when we picked her up. Nicole was attentive, playful with Paris, and made sure she felt right at home. She was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We’re so glad we chose Nicole—definitely a great choice for us!”
“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Nicole and Tim do great with our dog. She ran straight up to the door on drop off and was excited to see them again! Nicole and Tim send frequent updates and pictures and we feel very comfortable that all her needs are met. Would recommend to others looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Shannon was GREAT with my large lab mix! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, provided updates and administered his medication as requested. I really appreciated her following through over a holiday when things are so busy!”
“Quinton was a very nice host to my fur baby! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in the photos he sent. Communicaton from him was definitely top tier. I’d definitely book again :)”
“Jenna was super easy to communicate with and they took great care of our dog! Mo had the best time with them. We are super grateful they were willing to watch our very energetic dog :)”
“Omg Matt is so awesome! He has a great personality and truly cares for your fur baby. I was new to this rover thing and he answered all of my questions no problem. I immediately felt comfortable with leaving my baby in his hands. Would highly recommend his services. I will definitely book with Matt in the near future.😊”
“I can’t say enough good things about Reba, she is awesome! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her after just a short meet and greet. Her dog is very friendly and great with other dogs. Reba kept us up to date the whole time and really welcomed Louie into her home. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful to have found her!”
“Madeline took wonderful care of our boy! She was very professional and friendly, and we highly recommend her. Especially if you have a smaller dog than can be anxious in a new/strange environment. Hopefully she's not booked the next time we need a dog sitter!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alorton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alorton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Alorton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
