“The second we turn into Sumer’s neighborhood, our dog starts whining in excitement—he LOVES spending time there and runs into her house to greet his friends without so much as a glance back to say goodbye to us 😂. He comes home happy and completely tuckered out after having such a great time w Sumer and her family—highly recommend for your pet-sitting needs!”
“Dolc’e loved Deanne. We were impressed that she messaged us several times with pictures while we were In Sicily. She allowed Dolc’è to sleep with her which made both of us happy. Definitely, a great caregiver. Highly recommend her for boarding your pet!”
“If you have a dog that needs a little extra love or has a specific routine, Theresa is the person to be choose. She was so patient and attentive to our Old Dog Toby. Great commucation what’s happening and send pictures of our dog. She was indeed flexible when it comes to pick up and drop off time.. This is the second time that she took care of our dog when we’re on our long vacation. She is EXEMPLARY…”
“Tanya was amazing with Winston! He can be a very nervous boy, but he felt completely comfortable with Tanya and her family. We also had the pleasure of booking at the same time as Winston’s cousin, Gus, so the two of them got to play together the entire time we were away. 😜 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Winston was happy, relaxed, and having the best time!”
“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”
“I felt that Marble was in good hands and didn’t have to worry about him at all during our trip while he was with Bath. He seemed very happy in the pictures she sent on his walks! Thank you!”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
“Lauren and her family were great! She was so flexible and paid attention to all the details. My dog came back happy and tired from having fun! We will be back next time we’re in the area needing a sitter!”
“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”
“Natiia was wonderful with my dog. He stayed for a week with no issues at all. Communication was good. Pictures were greatly appreciated while away. Would recommend and use again. 💕”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have two Golden Retrievers of my own, Ranger and River! I’ve always loved being around animals and enjoy spending time with them. I only work part time and my job is just two minutes from home, so I’m home a lot throughout the week and can easily come home whenever needed. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets and make sure they get the attention and care they need. I know how important it is to have someone you trust watching your pets, and I’ll treat them just like my own! I’m also happy to send pictures and updates while you’re away! I work very close to home and I have a very flexible job so I can be around whenever needed. I can work around their feeding schedules, potty breaks, and whatever routine they’re used to! I have 2 very friendly golden retrievers who would love to have another dog to play with. I have a spare bedroom too if a dog would need its own space. Both my dogs are pretty hyper so another hyper dog would do best with them. Otherwise I could separate them if a dog would do better with quiet.

“Samantha was beyond amazing!! She was super sweet, and it felt as though Kai Puppy (my dog) instantly felt safe with her. Sam's house was clean and clutter free and seemed an excellent environment for our bigger puppy. Samantha herself was super friendly to my husband and me and listened to all our concerns and instructions regarding Kai without complaint (it was our first time leaving her, so we were nervous, but with Samantha, we honestly had no reason to be as she was great with Kai!). Samantha also sent updates on Kai's behavior along with picture periodically throughout her boarding which was terrific for my husband and I and kept us feeling very at ease having Kai away from us. Through her updates, we saw Kai playing and cuddling and having loads of fun during her stay. We highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for dog boarding, and we will most certainly book her again in the future for our Kai Puppy!!”
“We were nervous about leaving Winston with a sitter as he generally has only been left with family in his own home previously. We need not have worried. Angelina was just the best. From a pre-board meet and greet at her home to meeting her other dogs we were at ease before he went there and when we dropped him off he was so happy and content. She introduced him slowly to her other dogs so he wasn't overwhelmed and he had the time of his life. Her house is beautifully set up to look after pets. The regular photos and videos not only put our mind at rest but showed him socializing and playing with others and just generally having a good time. I have no hesitation in recommending Angelina in looking after any of your precious pets.”
“Beth was a wonderful sitter for my fur baby. She was very loving and made my Tig feel at home. I could tell he was comfortable with her and so was I. Thank you for taking such good care of Tiggy I know he made a good friend. We will definitely have her watch him again in the future.”
“Barb, was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and communicative. Our dog is a picky eater and she even went as far as feeding him out of her hand to make sure he was eating enough. We couldn’t have asked for a better care taker for our fur baby. Will definitely book again!”
“Stacy was such a great host for my pups on such short notice. She made me and my dogs feel at ease right from the moment I dropped them off. She was sent photos everyday and was quick with her responses when I was setting up my reservation. This was my first time using the Rover app to board my two dogs and I will definitely be using this again in the future based on this experience.”

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 Blaine 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 Blaine.
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 Blaine 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.
