“Tosha is located near the Bartlett, IL commuter train station. We visited Chicago for the weekend. Tosha responded promptly to all of our notes and questions. She was responsible when caring for our 12 yr old Jake for 2 days. Thank you!! Will use Tosha when we are in the area again.”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”

“Katharine and her family were great. They provided updates and photos and made drop off and pick up a breeze. Chloe was well taken care of - I will definitely use them again. Thanks for taking such good care of Chloe and making me feel so comfortable with our choice.”
“Kasia stayed with our puppy Bella over the weekend and our experience was amazing! Kasia was so attentive and shared photos every day of Bella and her sweet little daughter! Kasia and her daughter played with Bella endlessly! We love that she only sits for one dog at a time! I will recommend Kasia to all of my friends! We hope to see you again soon! Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! ?”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I offer calm, attentive, one-on-one boarding in a clean and peaceful home. As a former groomer, I’m skilled in handling anxious, shy, or energetic dogs, and I’m confident in brushing, basic hygiene care, and reading canine body language. I currently have one friendly Shiba Inu at home, and I only host one client at a time—ensuring your dog receives my full attention and a safe, low-stress environment. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, slow walks, or quiet company, I adjust my care based on their routine and comfort level. Feel free to send me a message—I'd love to learn about your dog and how I can make their stay feel like home. Your dog’s care is naturally built into my daily routine. We start the morning with a refreshing walk, breakfast, and some calm bonding time. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy structured potty breaks, enrichment games, and plenty of supervised relaxation. You will receive updates during these key moments—morning, afternoon, and evening—so you’ll always know how your dog is settling in. I stay closely aligned with your dog’s normal schedule to reduce stress and help them feel at home quickly. Consistency, supervision, and comfort are always my priorities. I provide full-time supervision when boarding, maintain a clean living space, and follow each dog’s feeding, medication, and potty schedule exactly as instructed. Dogs are never left unsupervised around my Shiba Inu, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Jacqueline & Uriel C. were super nice and my dog was happy staying at theirs. They sent updates on how my dog was doing and I will definitely book with them again :)”
“Michelle and Erika were great! They provided plenty of updates, photos and even videos during my dogs stay. They were friendly and reassuring and I will definitely use them again for future stays.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter than Kimberly. She took incredible care of our dog, Dolce, while we were away for two weeks—and it gave us so much peace of mind to know she was in such good hands. Kimberly sent daily photo updates, and it was clear from her happy face that she was having the best time. Dolce was treated like part of the family and came home calm, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“We left our 5-month-old Sheepoo with this sitter for the first time while we were away on a weekend trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Communication was excellent from the start—the sitter was always quick to respond and kept us updated regularly. Most importantly, it was clear how much they genuinely cared for and loved our puppy, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Before his stay, our puppy was very hesitant during walks and would often get scared by passing cars. To our surprise, after spending time with this sitter, he became much more confident and comfortable on walks. We were amazed by the improvement. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our pup. We truly appreciate everything you did and would absolutely book with you again!”
“Susan was SOOO good with our lil doggies (brother and sister Yorkies). She sent updates and pics, clearly communicated with me before drop off and made me feel completely at ease. Our dogs are used to being around people all the time and Susan made sure they felt at home. I knew they were in good hands, well taken care of and snuggled! Highly recommend Susan.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Liz was great! Bella was a little anxious at first, especially staying in someone else’s house, and Liz was very communicative about that concern. We got photo and video updates every day of the stay and appreciated the quick responses when we asked for updates. We don’t travel often, so it really put us at ease seeing Bella’s happy face running in the yard and knowing she was taken care of!”
“Our dog had an amazing stay with them. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear that he was going to be loved and cared for just like at home. The entire family is so welcoming and attentive to our dog's needs, making sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carol Stream
Annika and Grant were wonderful with our 4-month-old kitten! We were naturally a little nervous to leave her since she’s still so young, but they were both incredibly kind, caring, and easygoing. They sent us daily updates and were always responsive whenever I reached out, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their sweet cat also got along great with our kitten, which was such a bonus for her to have a little playmate! We’re so grateful for the care they gave her and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters.
We had such a great experience with Kimberly! She was amazing with Mylo and super communicative the entire time. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was in good hands. You can tell Kimberly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mylo seemed so happy and comfortable with her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Kimberly!
We had such a great experience with Edgar watching Koa over Labor Day weekend! Koa seemed right at home from the start—he ate well, got lots of playtime with Edgar’s kids and their dog London, and seemed so happy and comfortable when we picked him up. Edgar was incredibly thoughtful about the whole process and even set up a meet-and-greet beforehand so Koa and London could get to know each other and so we could see the space and feel comfortable leaving Koa there. He was kind, communicative, and genuinely caring, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Edgar watch Koa again!
Barbara was absolutely wonderful! She updated me and took pictures of my dog while I was gone. She took my dog for walks and gave treats! My dog seemed very happy with her. I Highly recommend Barbara as a dog sitter and will definitely use her again! Thank you so much Barbara for taking such good care of my girl!!!!
Christine took amazing care of our dog Simon! She went above and beyond to make sure he was given lots of love, and was energized with daily walks and enrichment. She was very attentive to his needs and sent regular updates, putting our minds at ease to know he was in good hands and well cared for throughout his stay. Christine was the absolute best!
Julie was amazing with Greeicy! She took care of her as if she were her own dog and was very attentive the entire time. Greeicy had such a great time and was so happy to be around other dogs — I truly appreciate that! I’ll definitely book with Julie again next time!

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 .
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.
