“This is the second time we have left our dog with Kathleen! Our dog was very happy to see her, what proves that she loved her previous stay. We will definitely choose Kathleen again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tintin while I was away. Knowing that they were in your hands gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a truly worry-free vacation. I really appreciate the updates, the kindness, and the attention you gave—it’s clear you treat pets like family. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Thank you again for everything!”
“Amazing service, Vishvesh & Julia. Thank you! The family took care of our dog very well and gave her favorite food per our request, and they provided updates with photos and videos regularly!”
“We had a great experience! My pups were well taken care of, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them for the weekend. They were exhausted from playing with the host’s dogs and going on daily walks which is always a good sign in my book. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“Rabia and her family did an excellent job of taking care of Archie, my golden retriever. They are so caring and loving! Rabia was very accommodating to a last minute change in schedule and very attentive, giving us frequent updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs reassurance their pet is being well looked after with so much love!”

“I wanted to leave a 5 ⭐️review and a BIG thank you to this wonderful family who watched my dog . I spent my whole trip getting to see my dog and follow her day through pics and videos. I actually found out my dog likes toys and activities that i did not know about. My dog was treated with love and patience and was so busy with exercise and activities, she was like a new dog when i got her home . I just cannot be more appreciative to this sitter for going above and beyond for my dog, who is my ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ i would give 100 stars if i could . Thanks again for being so kind and attentive to my dog”

About: I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet while you’re away! I’ve always been an animal lover and have worked with animals in a variety of settings, including animal hospitals, zoos, and grooming salons. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, big and small, and have experience with many different species. In my free time, my husband, Kevin, and I volunteer and foster for several dog, cat, and small animal rescues. We’ve had all kinds of experiences over the years; from helping deliver puppies and kittens to working with and decompressing giant breed dogs. Our own little zoo currently includes cats, a dog, snakes, a lizard, and chickens, so we’re pretty comfortable around just about anything! If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family while you’re gone, feel free to reach out and see if I’m available! My husband works from home and I work at a nearby school where I could come home at lunch. We already spend most of our time caring for our own pets and would love to care for yours as well! I have crates, baby gates, play pens… with fostering giant breed dogs it is essential to put safety first! We are working on renovating our downstairs area to be a pet sitting only haven, but while that is in the works we have methods of keeping pets separated if needed!
“Pat did her usual fantastic job sitting our two dogs during our 10-day vacation. Our boys are very different - one young and boisterous, the other senior and laid back - and Pat gives each one of them the care and attention they need. Pat also does such a great job keeping us updated with pictures and comments throughout the booking. It’s so reassuring to know that they’re in such good hands!”
“Kayla was absolutely awesome with Rocky! I knew I made the right choice when I met her for the meet-and-greet. She kept me updated constantly and went above and beyond for him. When Rocky wasn’t eating his meal, she even made him some homemade treats to help spark his appetite🥹 I’ll 100% be booking her again! Highly recommend Kayla!”
“Our dogs came home happy and clearly enjoyed every minute of their stay with you. Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our fur babies. We really appreciate the wonderful attention and love you gave them.”
“Another great stay! Maple loves her time with Kristine and her family and they show such love for her! It does my heart good knowing I am leaving her in such good hands!”
“Penny stayed with Matthew and Michelle for 2 weeks while we were on a trip. This was the longest time she had ever been away from home. She settled in very well into their home and we were kept updated on a regular basis which was very much appreciated. We could tell she was happy staying with them and won’t hesitate to book her next stay. Excellent care and accommodations!! Thank you so much!!!”
“She was wonderful. Our older dog can be anxious and standoff but seemed comfortable and happy in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I had to. Communication was clear and responsive. I feel it was much better than using a kennel as my dogs were abused at one.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder Hill
We had a meet and greet with Balbina beforehand which really worked out. Balbina liked Sky and Sky liked her. Picking Sky up helped me a lot fore to get ready for the wedding I was attending. And I was sent pictures and I'm pretty sure Sky forgot all about me. From the pictures it looked like she was at home. I know I have an alternative if my brother is busy and I need a sitter for Sky. Very happy with Balbina, worked out great.
Moose enjoyed his stay and company with Kathleen/ doggos! She is so warm and welcoming. Taking care of a 180 pound Saint Bernard is no small task, but she loved him like he was her own. I highly recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
Jen and Drew are the best!!!! I don’t think I can say enough great things about them. My 2 dogs stayed at their home for over 4 months during a huge transition in my life when I could not have the dogs with me. They welcomed them into their home, made them a part of the family, and cared for them so well. My furbabies were well loved and pampered. I will be eternally grateful to them, and to Rover for connecting us, so that I could rest easy that they were ok while I couldn’t be with them. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. They have a great yard and my dogs met so many new fur friends during their stay. I highly recommend them for boarding and/or doggie daycare. Thank you, Jennifer and Drew!!!!!
This is my second booking with Alexandra and I’ve got to say, she really is the best. Milo gets along with her and her family so well. She sends lots of pics and updates and gives my pup a vacation while I am on vacation. I would definitely book her again. She is an amazing sitter
Erin is outstanding! From the moment you meet her, and are greeted by the cute little chalkboard welcoming each of her furry friends for the day, it is clear she loves her job... And the ones she is caring for. She sends lots of pictures and videos so you know dog is having a great time with friends! Thanks aaron! Booster can't wait to come back!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Boulder Hill can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Boulder Hill 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 Boulder Hill.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boulder Hill. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Boulder Hill 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
