“Our girl was well cared for!!!! I was super hesitant to let Zoey stay with D’Artagnan at first since he has a dog of his own. Our Zoey had resource aggression and likes to take over people’s spaces. D’artagnan and his partner are clearly well versed in everything dog care and not only took great care of her but effectively set boundaries for Zoey. I appreciate all the pics and notes and felt at ease knowing she was okay while we were out of town. Happy to have a loving and trustworthy person to take care of our baby in the future.”
“I wish I could give Lori 10 stars as she took such great care of our golden retriever Buddy this past weekend! Lori was so flexible on drop off/pick up times and made sure she sent pictures to show how happy Buddy was in her home. I would highly recommend her for your sitting needs. Buddy can’t wait to stay with her again. We are so lucky we found her through Rover! Thanks Lori!”
“Sviltana took great care of our dog, and was able to board him for a few days on short notice. She sent lots of videos and photos. We'll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter, and Katerina made it so much easier than I anticipated. Suki is usually a bit wary of strangers, but she was very comfortable and excited to be at Katerina's home. I highly recommend Katerina!”
“Kent was an amazing sitter. He is very communicative, and showed great care for our pup. He is calm and patient, and has a wonderful demeanor. It is no wonder he formed a great bond with her. We would very much recommend him to anyone. Thank you Kent!”
“Cristina was wonderful! Great communicator, flexible, and sent us updates as requested. Lincoln loved playing with Bear and came home happy! Highly recommend Cristina.”
“Michelle is a wonderfully kind dog sitter who truly understood Mochi’s personality. She was incredibly thoughtful—even bathing Mochi late at night and double-checking the sleeping arrangements to ensure everything was just right. Her own dog, Sam and Mochi happily played and napped together; Michelle sent me heartwarming photos every day. Although this was my first time asking her for Mochi’s boarding, She did a great job taking care of my dog. If schedule works I would like ask her again !”
“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”
“Cindy and her family took wonderful care of our Archie! She provided updates and pics of Archie during his stay and always communicated with me from the meet & greet to drop off & pickups! They are totally trustworthy and we hope to use Cindy again as our regular Petsitter!”
“Upasana did a wonderful job caring for our Lucy. She sent a lot of updates and pictures that showed that Lucy was having the best time and was well cared for. We would let her watch our Lucy girl anytime, thank you for being a great sitter!”
“Tatiana is the absolute best sitter we have worked with. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos and took excellent care of our two dogs. Tatyana showed them lots of attention and care. Will definitely be working again with Tatyana in the future!”
“Yaqi was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate her attention and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.”
“They took such great care of Abu! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures—they kept me in the loop the whole time. It was clear Abu was having the best time and felt really comfortable and welcomed.”
“After meeting Melissa and her dogs, we felt very comfortable leaving our doggy with her 9 nights. The family is friendly, the home is cozy, and we liked the big yard. We also liked the updates we received and photos she sent during his stay. Melissa was super responsive and provided updates how our dog was doing with his food, and getting along with her dogs. It was our first time using Rover, and we were very pleased with the experience. We were happy to find Melissa and recommend her to anyone to feel at ease while on vacation.”

Our first-time stay with Hannah for 6 days was excellent for our 2 pups. We've stayed at multiple dog care facilities over the years, and this was by far the best experience. Just knowing our pups were in a home setting was reassuring, but Hannah sent multiple pics daily with little updates. I was also worried when we dropped them off initially that the pups would think we were leaving them for good, and Hannah spent so much time with them, helping them to feel safe and slowly introduced them to the other pups. I will definitely use Hannah in the future, and highly recommend her!
Maggie and her kids were very empathetic to our dog when he was afraid during thunderstorms. She quickly responded to our messages and sent us frequent updates and pictures of our dog. She has a great yard and place for the dogs to run around. She treated Teddy like a family member. Thank you Maggie!
Moose loved his time with Rhondarose! It was clear during our meet & greet that she is very knowledgeable & experienced - we're lucky we found her! She provided loving care, excellent communication with many daily pics, and lots of playtime & snuggles. Moose had a GI issue and she knew exactly how to care for him & keep us updated. Rhondarose is a rare find & we will definitely board with her again. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Moose!
We are so grateful for Balaji and his utmost care during our dog Chucky’s stay. He was very well taken care of and we were kept up to date everyday while we were away, which we appreciated a lot. Chucky has enjoyed his time here and I recommend Balaji as a dog sitter to everyone looking for an experienced sitter who truly cares about dogs.
Ellie and her husband watched Kody for 5 nights at their house, and this was the first time I'd been away from Kody for more than about a 12 hour stretch. I was pretty anxious about it but Kody was comfortable around them from the very start. Ellie gave me updates once per day and by the second day, Kody seemed to feel at home with her which was a huge weight off my mind. She was also very accommodating of his/our routine and she did everything she could to allow Kody to feel comfortable during his stay with her. I'd book with her again in a heartbeat!
Our 7 year old lab with cancer was well taken care of for 4 days by the husband and wife duo. Me and family were able to relax and enjoy our vacation since we knew Sago was in safe caring hands. Prithvi was also kind enough to send pictures of Sago every day which eased our mind even more. Sago had a fun time with their dog Loki. We highly recommend.
We couldn't have been happier with the care our two Shih Tzus received during their 9-day stay. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. One thing we especially appreciated was the regular updates. Yuliia sent adorable photos and videos almost every day, along with the sweetest comments about what the dogs were doing and how they were settling in. It meant so much to us while we were away and really helped us feel connected to them. It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.

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 Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
