“Tucker has the best time when he stays with Jeanette and Charles. Long walks and lots of fun playing in their large fenced-in yard. They send plenty of fun pictures and videos!”
“Justine was an amazing dog sitter for our pup, Marvin. Extremely responsive, kind, and willing to help us when we were in a pinch! Any dog would be lucky to stay with her!”
“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”
“Susan is responsive and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our pup and sent many updates, photos, and videos throughout her stay. Susan has a nice fenced in yard, lots of toys for the pups, and a sweet and caring personality. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
“Our two girls, Elizabeth and Scout, were cared for wonderfully by Suzanne. On our first meet and great prior to boarding, our girls took to Suzanne immediately, this was GREAT to see since we booked a sixteen night stay! Elizabeth needed to have oral medication twice daily and Suzanne was happy to make sure Elizabeth's needs were met. We were pleased with how well our girls got along with Suzanne's new puppy, Harley ?, and her fenced-in yard provided a safe outdoor space for our girls to hang out. Suzanne was great at sending photos and videos, to keep us updated on how our girls were doing throughout our trip. When we picked our dogs up, we found two very happy girls, that had a great time in Suzanne's care. We highly recommend Suzanne for your dog sitting or boarding needs, as she really seems to have a way with dogs.????”
“Brenda and Milo were amazing. They took great care of my pup. My dog stayed with them for 4 nights and loved it. They sent lots of updates and made him feel at home. They are genuinely friendly dog owners who care about making your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable.”
“We have spent a long time looking for a boarding option that we feel comfortable with and I am glad we finally found Brian! He made us feel confident that our pup was well taken care of with his knowledge and love for dogs as well as the pictures and updates we received while we were away. He is very good with communication and was flexible on timing. It was a positive experience in every way!”
“Ángela was exceptional with Toby! She was flexible with drop off/pick up arrangements and kept us updated with pictures. Toby enjoyed time outdoors as well as pets and cuddles during his stay. We will definitely be reaching back out to Angela for future stays!!!”
“Yahret and her family are the best you could possibly ask for!! Incredible people who love my pup like their own. You couldn’t ask for a better family to watch your pup!!”
“Summer really enjoyed her stay at Linda's home. Linda was able to accept Summer on short notice. Linda and her family were patient in learning Summer's puppy behaviors/mannerisms and were able to adapt to managing those behaviors. Our family liked getting pictures/updates while we were away. I'm pretty sure Summer's favorite part was Linda's huge fenced backyard where she could run freely. It was great to be able to pick Summer up on a Sunday night when a kennel would normally be closed and having to wait until Monday. Hopefully we can use Linda again so we feel less guilty about going away and knowing Summer is enjoying the comforts of a home instead of a kennel.”
“Magdalena did a great job watching our dog for the week. She proactively provided updates and pictures and was very responsive. She exhibited great care for our dog asking questions related to behaviors and patterns. Will trust her to watch our pets in the future!”
“I trusted Wayne with my two beloved bostons and he did not disappoint! He took really good care of them, kept me updated with photos, and my pups looked at home. Will definitely book him again!”
“Our dogs were so well cared for. Karia gave us daily updates, photos and videos. She was very accommodating when we were delayed by car trouble. The girls were returned to us happy and healthy. We will definitely be returning customers.”
“I don’t want to say too much about Tracy except that she’s everything we could ask for in a dog sitter and our baby doesn’t ever want to come home after a stay at Tracy’s. Thank you Rick and Tracy!”
“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”
“Whitney is amazing! Super easy to communicate with, accommodating with our schedules for drop off/pick up and very friendly. Our dog tried to follow her out when she was leaving!! Will definitely work with her again. ♥️”
“Elva and her daughter were amazing hosts for our Lily. It was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but she made it so easy and smooth. She was very prepared with bed, toys and everything that Lily needs. She sent me regular messages with adorable pictures. Elva is very caring and made sure Lily feels safe and comfortable. Lily loved her stay with Elva and her daughter and was very relaxed and happy there. I would certainly recommend Elva to anyone!”

I recently used Andria's service and left my Nina in her care for 10 days. I am very pleased with the overall experience. Andria is very quick in communicating before and during the stay. She sent regular updates and pics during the stay. My pet came home very Happy. Andria and her family took great care of my pet. She is going to be my go-to sitter for all future needs. I highly recommend Andria
Cheryl was a perfect and dog sitter for my 2 year old hyper mixed yorkie. Right away she made "Bentley" feel right at home and provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for him to browse both in and outside her home. She treated him as her own pup by catering to his every need. I'm definitely recommending her services at the highest rating possible and will continue to choose Miss Cheryl in the future. You won't be disappointed with her abilities and experience!
Robert and his family took excellent care of Spruce while we were away on an extended trip for nearly two weeks. Our pup is a one year old with a lot of energy for playing and had such a blast playing endless fetch in their fenced yard and with the dogs who would come by for in-home daycare. We got absolutely regular updates (with absolutely incredible action shots!) while we were traveling and it was clear to see Spruce was having a wonderful time and was being well cared for, and that knowledge and peace of mind is such a gift especially when we were thousands of miles away. Highly recommend!
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. Things could not have gone smoother. I met with her in advance of the booking. She clearly loves dogs and taking care of them. My dog is very active and she has a nice backyard for the dogs to run and play. She then had to coordinate with my son on the pickup as I was still out of town. She was very accommodating and helpful with both of us. Will 100% use again!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
