“Kristen and her family were amazing with our 12 year old GSP “pup”. We’ve had a few bad experiences over the years (not through Rover) so it was wonderful to pick up a healthy and happy dog at the end of our trip. Kristen really knows what she’s doing and you can tell right away so that you can leave your fur baby and know they are in good hands. Would highly recommend them!”

“Renae was super friendly and helpful. This was my first time using Rover for Sammy and I will continue to use this service. Renae gave me updates throughout the stay which was very reassuring. Sammy was able to play with Renae's pup which was very nice for him to have a friend instead of being alone at the pets hotel.”

“What a great stay! Tami had great communication before and during the stay. She also sent lots of pictures of Faye playing with her two fun labs, Dolly and Bear . She has a great fenced in area for lots of play time and Faye felt right at home. They had a weekend of fun and Faye was worn out! Tami was flexible and willing to give Faye medicine as we had a last minute vet trip right before our trip. Will definitely be back!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention | give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them rather than using a one size fits all approach. I'm experienced with dogs of different energy levels and personalities, including playful, high energy dogs as well as more laidback pups who prefer a quiet, relaxed environment. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and other instructions provided by their owners. I'm also patient with puppies who are still learning and happy to provide extra attention and structure to senior dogs who may need a slower pace or additional care. Most importantly, I treat pet sitting as more than simply stopping by to feed a dog. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm dependable, communicative, and will happily send updates and photos so you don't feel like you're missing out while you’re away. I work from home, which allows pet care to fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. My schedule also gives me flexibility to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, whether they need frequent breaks, scheduled meals, medication, extra playtime, or simply someone nearby to make them feel comfortable. I enjoy having pets around while I work and am happy to make their care an important part of my day. Please no dropoffs before 8am and no pick ups after 8pm. Thank you 😊 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks without being exposed to traffic or other outdoor hazards. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and individual preferences. I keep a close eye on pets throughout their stay and make sure they have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat their space, belongings, and instructions with the same respect I would want for my own pets. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Note: If your pet is ill with a communicable sickness, please keep them home. I have two dogs in my home, and I greatly appreciate your understanding.

“Magda and her family are truly angels on earth. Their home is clean, calm, inviting, and happy. Rufus was instantly comfortable there which is no small feat with my nervous little dude. They treated him like their own during his stay, making sure he was warm, cozy, fed and happy, and she sent constant updates so I’d always know how he was doing. I cannot recommend them enough, and am so grateful to have found them on Rover. Thank you Magda and crew!!”

“I was nervous about leaving him with someone he didn’t know for a long weekend, but Bridget did an incredible job! She made him feel like he was at home and he got plenty of exercise with her dogs. She updated me with photos constantly and was very responsive. 10/10 would recommend and would absolutely have her watch Caesar again!”

About: Pet Care Experience I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand the responsibilities involved in providing daily care. My duties included feeding and providing fresh water, taking my dog on regular walks for exercise, grooming, cleaning up after them, and ensuring they had a safe and comfortable environment. I also monitored my dog's health and behavior, administered medications when needed as directed, and provided plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to support their overall well-being. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of the importance of consistent, compassionate pet care. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I make time each day to feed my dog, provide fresh water, take them on walks, clean up after them, and spend time playing and interacting with them. I also make sure they receive any needed grooming and monitor their health and behavior to ensure they are happy and well cared for. Caring for my dog has helped me develop consistency, responsibility, and a strong commitment to meeting an animal's daily needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions to ensure the pet stays on its normal routine. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks and exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I clean up after pets, keep their living areas clean, and monitor their behavior for any signs of illness or discomfort. If medications are required, I administer them according to the owner's directions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while treating every pet with patience, kindness, and care.

She's very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy which always makes it easier to leave your fur baby in someone else's care. Ana was in constant contact with us through pictures, videos and texts and our 12 year old GSP Ellie was living her best life! We would highly recommend her to anyone!”

I received photos and videos of their time together. Thank you also for sharing your pups toys and treats with mine. We hope to have more stays with you in the future. Thanks for being my “Saving Grace”!”

I was very comfortable leaving my pup Katy for almost two weeks. The house, yard, and family are all very pup friendly. I missed Katy terribly but the daily pictures and commentary made me feel much better. I will be very happy to use Kasha to watch Katy in the future.

Kasha took care of my baby Ava while I was in Vegas. She kept my baby safe while I was away, and I loved the communication I received while I was gone. Kasha gave me updates and pictures that showed me how my dog was doing. I recommend booking with Kasha, and I definitely will book again in the future.

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 Birds 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 Birds.

<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 Birds 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.
