“On short notice, we were invited to stay with family in the Springfield, Il area, in the midst of a cross county trip with our two small dogs. The only catch was the place we were staying didn't allow dogs. We found Tara on Rover.com and it was a perfect match! She was wonderful with our rescue pups and we were able to relax and visit with family knowing they were safe in her loving home and not stressed out in a kennel somewhere. Thanks to Tara we all ha”

About: I have over 12 years with pet care experiencing, including FFA, private families, shelters, and my own fur babies! I am a kind, compassionate, veteran who loves animals and am dedicated to making their care experience as easy (and fun!) as possible! I have experience with puppies to seniors, medical administration, and dogs with disabilities. I am a disabled veteran who currently does a lot of volunteer work - that being said I am available throughout the week and weekends with atleast 1 day notice :D I start care with making sure the necessities are taking care of, such as food, water, medicine, litter cleaned or potty break/walk. I then make sure the animal energy is matched through either play time, walks, relaxing (with pets!)!

About: I’ve always loved animals and treat every pet like family! I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I love giving pets plenty of love, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. My goal is to make your fur baby feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾💕 Hi! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom with a very flexible schedule, so I’m home most of the time and available to give your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m dependable, caring, and would treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to help with walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting! 💕 I have a nice-sized home and prefer pets who enjoy being indoors. Your pet will have their own comfortable space in my home, and you’re welcome to bring a crate or kennel if they’re more comfortable with their own setup. I can also provide their usual food if needed. I have two children, ages 2½ years and 7.5 pmonths. My older child is very mature and understands boundaries and directions. I’ll always gradually introduce her to your pet and only allow interaction if you’re comfortable with it. Otherwise, your pet can have plenty of quiet space downstairs with me. I also have safety gates on my stairs to help keep everyone safe and comfortable.

“Erin was great. If you don't believe me, just ask our beagle, Bailey. All of the many photos and videos that she sent were one of the highlights of our vacation. It made us feel relaxed to see Bailey so happy to be playing with Erin's dog--they both had a wonderful time. We will certainly have Erin watch Bailey again.”

About: I have had pets literally my entire life. Dogs, cats, horses, and other small animals. I am patient, kind, loving, and know how to bond quickly with them. I truly enjoy the company of dogs especially and they always sense that and enjoy being with me as well. I have significant flexibility in my schedule. I can easily make the loving care of your pet my priority. I focus on Thursdays through Sunday/Monday for those quick weekend trips. I live in a small, senior park with lots of grass, a new, fenced dog park, and paved roads just in case your well-loved dog(s) may have grass or sand sensitivity. I have lots of time to devote to your dog. I can walk them, take them on golf cart rides, or give them time to play in the dog park.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield.

<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 Chesterfield 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.
