“It's always hard to leave your dog behind while on vacation but I instantly felt as ease as soon as I dropped my baby boi off. He had an amazing time and the daily photos and updates were much appreciated. And because he was so well taken care of, I could fully enjoy my trip. I highly recommend.”
“Arnav did a great job. Buck had a hot spot arise right before my travel. He came home after my trip with significant healing accomplished. He went to his stay a bit anxious, not quite himself, and when I picked him up from Arnav, he was at ease. Arnav communicated regularly and well. He sent pictures. He asked questions. We discussed how to treat Bucks hot spot, and made some decisions together from a distance that worked well. Highly recommend Arnav for your dog.”
“Betsy and her family were wonderful hosts for our pup. Betsy sent pics and videos, and Ronja seemed to have a fantastic time. Great communication, we felt safe leaving our dog in Betsy's care.”
“Frodo had a great stay- enjoyed playing with the hosts' dogs, I got great pictures and video updates, easy to communicate with. Would absolutely use again.”
“Francois is exceedingly kind and good about checking in and letting me know how Sadie’s doing, always with a sweet photo. I know she is in highly competent and caring hands.”
“Hunter took great care of my dog Maizie while he was in her care for 2.5 weeks. She is very communicative and provided frequent updates on Maizie. Maizie had a great time and enjoyed playing with her dogs as well! I would use Hunter again for future boarding and I would also recommend Hunter to any one looking for any dog services!”
“Charlie had a great stay with Christina! I was nervous leaving Charlie and Christina sent photos throughout the stay so I could see what she was up to. Charlie had lots of walkies and snuggles and enjoyed her visit.”
“Likun took very good care of our 43 lb Bernedoodle. She was very patient when he became homesick and was professional and reliable at every interaction. She genuinely has an interest in caring for animals and is detail-oriented when coordinating their care. She also provided photos and videos for peace of mind that our boy was healthy and happy. We would rely on Likun again without question.”
“Man & Zhen took great care of Wadsworth! They took him on lots of walks and sent a ton of photos. I could tell they treated him like part of the family :-) I would absolutely book with them again!!”
“At first, I was skeptical of boarding my sweet doodle. But after meeting Kimm and Ken prior to our trip, they made us feel comfortable. They have a beautiful pond in the back with ducks. They sent in photos every day which helped ease our guilt for leaving our pup. Maui had such a good time! He didn’t even want to come back home, as a matter of fact, he seemed a little sad for the next few days after. When Maui had a hard time eating his food, Kimm gave him organs and broth to mix with his food like we do at home and he ate it. She went above and beyond. Maui had exercise and played with friends everyday. I would 100% reach out to this lovely couple for any dog sitting or boarding in the future.”
“Chanel was responsive and responsible and seemed to really enjoy having our pup. She’s very sweet and sends updates and pictures everyday. Our pup seemed to really enjoy her stay and we’d book Chanel again!”
“Lee, thank you for providing a welcoming space, with your own dog, for our dog Miki, and for helping her out of her initial nervousness. You clearly are a first class "dog person."”
“I am so happy that I found Carol on Rover! She took very good care of Mickey and kept me updated with pictures while I was on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Carol to watch Mickey again!”
“Emily and Rob are wonderful people and provided a warm and loving home for our goldendoodle Homer. They were very accommodating as my wife and I had a challenging and ever-changing schedule prior to picking up Homer. We highly recommended them!”
“Brianne and her family did a wonderful job caring for Kaia! She went over and beyond for repairing one of Kaia’s favorite toys (several times). Her daughters snuggled and played with Kaia treating her with utmost care. She came back exhausted and I always say a tired pup is a happy one!”
“McKenzie was a lifesaver, offering to take my dog at the last minute the day before after I had a last minute cancellation with another sitter! She did a great job taking care of him and sent adorable pictures of my dog with hers! He came back home so happy! Thank you so much again!!!”
“Michelle is a great dog sitter who takes the dogs for a lot of walks. Her two dogs Bear and Moose get along with Oliver and they like to play. She has a large fenced yard and loves dogs.”
“Ahmed and family were great with Pippi-we received several pictures and updates throughout her stay. Pippi can be a little nervous but they went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. Ahmed and family will definitely be our go to sitter in the future.”
“Amy was THE BEST!!! Super warm and friendly, very responsive and communicative. She made it all so easy and she clearly took such good care of our mini golden doodle Rory. And Rory also loved playing with her dog Bumi. She also we great about sending photos of their walks and hikes and adventures. We are so grateful for Amy and her help!!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington Heights
Ashley was FANTASTIC! She watched our pup for almost a week, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our boy was having a great time. She also handled his medications responsibly and proactively asked questions to make sure she was doing everything correctly. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. We would absolutely book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring sitter!
Christina and her family boarded our pup for a week and were wonderful. Christina sent us photos and/or videos daily, made it clear that our dog was doing well, and took really good care of her. They followed our instructions about care for her and we were reassured about leaving our older pup with Christina.and family. We came home to a well tended dog. If Christina is available we will be booking her in November.
Daniel is an amazing dog sitter! I would absolutely recommend him without hesitation. He kept me updated with regular messages and photos of Lexi, which gave me so much peace of mind. He’s also very respectful and caring. You can feel completely confident leaving your dog in his care! 😊🐾
Mary Kate was a fantastic sitter! She gave us frequent updates and photos and took great care of our dog when we were out of town. She was also extremely flexible and understanding when our flights got canceled and we had to extend our trip, adding another day of care for our dog.
We're very happy to have found Andrew on Rover and we'll definitely book with him again. Percy enjoyed his stay and was exceptionally well taken care of in Andrew's home. We were away for the weekend during a big storm when it was truly challenging to walk a dog. Nonetheless, Andrew made sure that our energetic Percy got some outside time and stimulation. Andrew's calm and confident personality was a perfect match for our big goofy golden retriever, who at 2-1/2 years old is still in puppy mode. Thank you Andrew! We appreciate you!
We had a great experience with Maisy caring for our dog, Cosmo! We booked on short notice, and she was communicative from the start and worked us into her schedule. Cosmo had a wonderful time playing with her dog, Waffles, and Maisy sent lots of photos and updates that showed us they were having a blast. When our flights home were delayed, Maisy was incredibly flexible and worked with us on the logistics of an alternate pickup time. We really appreciated her love and care for Cosmo, and we would absolutely book with her again!

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 Arlington Heights 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 Arlington Heights.
<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 Arlington Heights 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 MA 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.
