“Jackie is awesome with my dog, Corey! He is always so excited to be there were he is treated like one of the family. Jackie has a lovely home and a beautiful fenced in backyard, where Corey can run, run, run.”
“Leaving my boy with Maggie and her family is what I truly hope anyone can receive from a sitter when leaving their pups. He was very well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Taylor and Samuel were amazing and took very good care of our dog. They made sure to send pictures and give updates and clearly enjoyed having him around. I would definitely recommend and book with them again!”
“Penelope had a wonderful stay for the week. She was very well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Penelope was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter”
“Jeannie is terrific! She really took the time to get to know our dog and asked many questions about his needs & care before the stay. Our dog can be a little challenging at times but Jeannie handled everything like a true professional! So many updates and great pictures throughout our Cooper’s stay made us feel relieved and comfortable knowing he was in great hands! We would definitely recommend her, and will use her again!”
“We loved having Odin stay with Amanda and Anton!! They were very communicative and took the best care of our dog! We will absolutely be going to them from now on!”
“We had boarded our 14-year-old Springer with her breeder only. Due to an emergency we found Jo'ell on Rover. Liz had a great stay for 5 days and we were most pleased with the daily communication and great care she received. Thank you again Jo'ell.”
“Sonia and Greg were great with our dog! He had a good time and we got updates with photos throughout his stay. They also helped get our picky dog to eat while we were away. Definitely wonderful people to take care of your dog!”
“Brian was very accommodating, taking care of my dog for two weeks on short notice. He provided updates and photos that gave me piece of mind. Plus, my dog was able to socialize with his dog, which was a bonus! His rates were reasonable; he answered my texts and questions in a timely manner. Overall very happy, and I will check back with him, should we need help with boarding our dog in the future. Thank you Brian!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“I was nervous to leave my pup with separation anxiety with another person, especially after my last experience leaving my pup with someone (he escaped!) but Chad sent frequent updates, photos, and videos and he and his wife seemed very caring of him. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Kimberly was fantastic. Very responsive! We ended up booking with her last minute as our previous booking with another sitter canceled the night before we were leaving for our trip due to an emergency. I will say, we lucked up on Kimberly. Our 8yr old golden doodle got in walks, treats, chew toys, fun with her dogs, and lounge time. Our dog was happy and energetic when we picked him up. I would definitely recommend Kimberly. If her availability is open, we will book with her again.”
“Winnie and Maisie received excellent care while staying with June and Wade. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports. They are very attentive to the dogs needs.”
“Leaving my dogs is never easy to do, however, Katey and her family immediately made me feel at ease. Katey was very welcoming to the dogs and receptive to learning their needs. Throughout the weekend, she kept me updated on how the dogs were doing and included supporting pictures. Not only was Katey great at caring for our dogs, but also her family and personal pets. The large fenced in yard was a bonus on top of the great service. We will definitely return to Katey for our future dog watching needs!”
“Our lively viszla pup had a great time with Elise. She was very responsive and caring in the lead up to his stay, and we even had a meet and greet beforehand to ensure we could pass on all instructions… He was well exercised and well loved during the eight days or so that we were gone. We received lots of photos, and he came back with some excellent manners.”
“David and Mary were great in taking care of my rescue dog. He can be a challenge with other dogs and some people, but his stay with David and Mary was perfect. Thank you again for taking great care of him!”
“Lynda was absolutely wonderful with Hazel! Hazel is a very anxious dog, so I was nervous about leaving her, but Lynda was incredibly patient and caring. Hazel warmed up to her and looked so comfortable and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would trust Lynda with Hazel again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

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 Appaloosa West home-away-from-home, 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 Appaloosa West.
Tip: 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 Appaloosa West 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 , 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 .
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.
