“Kristen was great at taking care of our pup while we were traveling. Kristen is very thorough and took time to understand the needs of our dog. She was great at communicating and sending updates!”
“Alyssa took amazing care of my dog while I was away on vacation for a week. She provided daily updates and photos so that I was comfortable while being away. I will be using her in the future and would recommend her services to anyone!”
“Lily's visit with Nibha was exactly what I had hoped for! She, her husband, their two sweet dogs, and their home were very welcoming to both of us. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Thank you, Nibha!”
“Jo’Ell was wonderful caring for our dog while we were on a week long trip. She was super accommodating and responsive, and was really good about sending pictures and updates everyday. Our pup clearly had a great time with her and her family (and dog Conchita) and came back happy and healthy. Would highly recommend Jo’Ell and look forward to booking with her again!”
“Kimberly was fantastic. Very responsive! We ended up booking with her last minute as our previous booking with another sitter canceled the night before we were leaving for our trip due to an emergency. I will say, we lucked up on Kimberly. Our 8yr old golden doodle got in walks, treats, chew toys, fun with her dogs, and lounge time. Our dog was happy and energetic when we picked him up. I would definitely recommend Kimberly. If her availability is open, we will book with her again.”
“Zuko had a great time with Kimberly and her lovely family. They took such good care of my dog, were extremely responsive and sent loads of pictures. Zuko would be thrilled to go back to stay with Kimberly.”
“Julie and her family were kind and welcoming. They took care of Dash as their own and gave us the comfort of knowing he was going to be in great hands. I can’t thank Julie enough for keeping us updated with posts and pictures and taking great care of our baby while we were gone!”
“Our dog Reba stayed with Linda and her family for 6 nights. It was our first time leaving her and we felt completely confident after meeting Linda. We got daily updates and pictures! We will definitely book with her again!”
“Katie and her family took great care of my pup. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. According to Katie he got along really well with her kids and enjoyed their walks. I will definitely take him to stay with them again, highly recommended!!”
“Tyler and his wife took great care of Ernie. They sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on his stay. They gave him his medication and even kept him company when he was hiding from thunderstorms in their bathroom. We would definitely use them again!”
“Kimberly was great to work with. She was very accommodating and worked with us even when our schedule changed. She sent pictures of Bella and communication was great the entire time. Bella looked very happy and relaxed the entire stay!”
“Vishvesh and Julia provided exceptional care for my girls, Maple and Maisy! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and messages, which made being away from my girls so much less stressful. When Maple and Maisy came home, they were calm, happy, and clearly very well loved. They came back ready to give us all of the love and joy they had received from Vishvesh and Julia. 🐾❤️ They even went the extra mile and brought my girls home, which meant so much to me. I am beyond grateful for the care, attention, and love they gave my girls. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and Maple and Maisy definitely found that with Vishvesh and Julia. Five stars isn't even enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We highly recommend them and, without a doubt, they are our dog sitters for life! Thank you so much, Vishvesh and Julia, for taking such wonderful care of our girls. We are forever grateful! ❤️🐶🐶”

“Peg was wonderful with our little girl. We picked her up just now and was happy to see us, she looked happy over all and looked well fed. Peg sent us pictures every day and was great about communicating daily status. We will definitely use Peg again and are already planning our girls next visit with Peg.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Channahon
Sharleen is really great! Our dog, Louis, stayed with her for over 10 days, and we could not have had abetter experience. It is always tough leaving a pet for that long, but Sharleen gave us peace of mind that Louis would be safe and happy. She sent updates and photos, showing Louis looking happy, and at home. It looked like he was treated like family and received plenty of exercise, and attention. Sharleen is professional, caring, and highly communicative. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier sitter!
We will definitely use Kristen again!! Drop off was easy and it was very reassuring that we were greeted so warmly; something that made us feel more comfortable leaving our dog, Addison, with a sitter for the first time. We were updated while Addison was in Kristen’s care and really appreciated the pictures that were sent, reflecting that Addison was happy and enjoying her stay.
Jennifer was great. We booked last minute as we had someone cancel on us and she was so easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates daily and was really nice. I could tell our dogs were well cared for and given lots of love. We will definitely be using her again.
Alexis watched my two dogs Scooby & Piper, and did a great job. She was easy to communicate with, sent regular photo updates, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. She was also able to accommodate us for a last minute booking, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
We left our 2 pups with Alyssa for an extended visit while on vacation and she did a phenomenal job! Our lab gets nervous/ has a bit of separation anxiety and also had an upset stomach while visiting and Alyssa stayed on top of it like it was no problem. Gave both dogs a bath, washed out their cage and did her best to get her to eat in very small increments/ kept me up to date with extremely quick responses the entire time. Will rebook with her again in the future should we ever need pet sitting again. My pups returned very happy and we loved getting lots of photos of them through our trip as well! :)

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.
95% of sitters in Channahon 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 Channahon 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 Channahon.
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 Channahon. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Channahon 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.
