“Jonna took amazing care of our dog and treated him like family. She sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. We will definitely use her in the future, and we highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely fantastic! We have had some not so good luck with sitters lately, and Barbara was a breath of fresh air. She genuinely cares for the well being of our pups, and the updates were plentiful. Thank you. We will return to you again.”
“Boarding with Summer was great! She made it all very easy and I was never worried about my dog. She even sent a picture of him and gave me some updates to let me know that he was doing well.”
“Tanya is amazing! She took excellent care of our senior, clingy dog! She was happy to accommodate his meds and made sure he got acclimated very quickly. We will definitely ask to book with her again.”
“Jennifer was great! It helped us relax on our trip knowing our dog was with someone who was treating her like their own dog. Our dog was able to play outside in the fenced yard, snuggle a bunch and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Jennifer for another future trip! Thanks so much!”
“Thomas & Emily are the best pet sitters ever. The love & attention given to Abbey was exceptional. Abbey loved playing with Monster & she was treated like their own which made it so much easier to be away. We loved the updates, photos & video. Meds were also given morning & night. We highly recommend Thomas & Emily. We will definitely use them again. Thank you both so much.”
“Angel was amazing with taking care of my doggos. Bailey has extremely high separation anxiety and is very destructive when left alone and Angel accommodated Bailey’s needs their entire visit which put me at ease. Drop off and pick up was super easy and she also kept me updated on how Bailey and DJ were doing throughout my trip (pics and vids included). Both of my pups were sad on the car ride home bc of how attached they got to Angel and her boyfriend’s amazing personalities and gentleness! I look forward to rebooking with her!”
“Jacqueline took such great care of our dog while we were out of town. She and her family treated our dog as if he was their own. We couldn't be happier with Jacqueline. She's the best! ❤️”
“Mary is just the best! She absolutely loves dogs and goes out of her way to make you and your furry baby feel like they are at home! I feel like she’s part of the family and cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Mary!!”
“Mary and her husband are like an aunt and uncle to my Ivy. She loves going to their house and playing with their sweet dog :) I get lots of pictures during Ivy's stay with Mary and she always looks so relaxed and happy!”
“She was able to take my two dogs last minute after another rover person did not answer when I was at their house. She was amazing with my babies and they really enjoyed her. Definately recommend!!”
About: Growing up with dogs means dog-sitting comes naturally! We love all dogs and promise to treat them just like family. From nightly belly rubs to outdoor walks, we cover it all! With a cozy home and walkable community, your pets will feel right at home. We’re very comfortable providing medications or making other accommodations for your pet’s needs. With a work from home schedule, one, or often both of us, are home most of the day! Your fur baby will receive constant attention, supervision, 1-on-1 attention, and a low-stress home for your dog 🐶 We know how important your pets are to you because we feel the same way about ours. Leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so our goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will be cared for in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. We take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. We believe trust starts with communication. We’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re happy and well cared for. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, explore, or simply relax nearby, we’re happy to give them the attention and affection they need. Most importantly, we want every pet in our care to feel like part of the family. ❤️ Our home is a place where pets can feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away.
“Duke had a great time with Chris, Dan and their pups! Would definitely recommend and would schedule with them again while we are visiting my parents in Illinois.”
About: I’ve been taking care of neighbors pets for 10 years! Neighbors have relied on me to feed their pets, bathe them, walk them and play with them!!! I have a baby and my schedule is completely open! Any days of the week! Whatever works best for you, i will work with to make sure you are happy and comfortable!!! I have a back door that leads to a field that i can take your pets out on! And maybe throw a toy and ball around!!!
“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!!”

Jonna took AMAZING care of our Blaike. Her and her family were gentle, attentive, caring, loving, and kind to her. They helped ease her anxiety, made sure she was always comfortable and secure, and gave her so much love, rubs, and affection. They truly treated her like a member of the family. We will absolutely be utilizing her Boarding services for our next trip, and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter. Thank you so much Jonna!!😊❤️❤️❤️

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 Byron 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 Byron 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 Byron.
<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 Byron 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.
