“Eniya was amazing with my dog! She kept me updated with pictures and notes the whole time, and I could tell he felt right at home. He came back happy, tired, and super loved. Definitely booking again!”
“Jennifer was a savior during my short notice holiday getaway. My pup is shy and somewhat anxious, and she recognized that while allowing him to be himself. She's responsive and sends cute photos and videos of the pups.”
“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”
“Magdalena took incredible care of Remi and Spud while we were away. She was punctual, communicative, and sent great photo updates each visit. Remi and Spud were calm, well-fed, and happy when we got back. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Magdalena in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the very beginning, he was kind, professional, and incredibly caring with our dogs. He kept us updated every day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. His communication was outstanding, and he always responded quickly to any questions we had. We are so grateful for the excellent care he provided and will definitely book with him again in the future. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and who truly loves animals, we highly recommend him!”
“This couple saved my life. I’m always worried about going out of town and my dog not liking the kennel at those boarding places. I love the professional pictures and updates every day around the same time. I was able to enjoy myself fully with no worries. This is a very professional couple and I’d recommend them to anyone. I love them.”
“Niamh was the sweetest with my pup! I last minute needed to bring him on a work trip to Chicago and she instantly put me at ease, knowing we wouldn't be able to do a meet n greet beforehand. From the video call, to dropping him off, Niamh was very communicative and provided updates throughout the day. Highly recommend her if you are in the Chicago area or traveling with your pet and need someone reliable to watch them!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! Christian was amazing, super reliable, friendly, and clearly loves animals. They kept me updated with photos and messages every day, and I could tell my pup felt completely comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“Julia was well communicative and was flexible with an early pick up due to coming back from a trip earlier then expected. Tilly is sleeping on the couch right now exhausted from all the fun play time”
“Nina did a great job taking care of Benny! Benny went on daily long walks during his stay and Nina sent over a ton of adorable pictures and videos :) highly recommend!”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”
“Whitney took care of our girl Boo when we went out of town for a long weekend. She gave us so many amazing updates and Boo seemed so happy to be staying with her. She even got her a pup cup after checking in to see if she could have one 😊 we are very appreciative of her!”
“Buddy loves going to stay with Ann! The peace of mind we have dropping Buddy off with Ann is amazing. So much better than a normal boarding experience.”
“Shirley is fantastic with both our dog (medium size hound mix) and cat. Our dog gets so excited when she realizes she is going to stay with Shirley. Very responsive and responsible and communicates well with pics every day. We never worry about their wellbeing while in Shirley’s care.”
“Tim was great! He was very communicative about Norbert’s stay and Norb seemed to enjoy his time very much! He went to work with Tim, they took lots of fun walks and played with his toys with him. Would definitely rebook!”
“Amazing sitter for our dog! This was our first time leaving her for so many days not with family. Christina was great about sending updates and took wonderful care of Gobi. Will absolutely book with her again!!”
“Jenna was amazing with my pups, as always! Her updates and communication were timely and thorough, giving me complete peace of mind while I was away. Knowing they’re in her capable, caring hands makes it so much easier to leave them. I couldn’t ask for better care!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cicero
Jasmin & her pup, Andy, were our dog’s dream come true. Peach was showered with love, play with Andy, time in the beautiful yard, and plenty of walking. Delightful pics and videos were sent daily. Truly the highest quality sitters on the Rover market. Thank you to Jasmin & family!
Luciano & Luciene S kept my 2 boston terriers, male 3 years and female 2 years, and I will definitely use them again. Took my doggos on several long walks (since my doggos like to sniff and mark a lot and look for squirrels) and sent me pictures daily. Doggos looked very happy in all the pics and were well kept when I picked them up. I also liked that they had bowls and toys so I didn't need to bring those. I highly recommend.
Onyx lovesss going to Susan’s home! He saw me packing his night bag and immediately ran to the door haha! He has the best time and Susan takes great care of him and stays on top of his medication which I really appreciate. I always know that Onyx is in great hands at Susan’s house. Thanks again!
This was my first time having my dog stay with anyone not family. He immediately got along with Robert and was not anxious. When I picked him up, still upbeat attitude and no signs of distress. I could even hear him barking when I was walking towards the door on pickup day, which means he already considered Robert's place like home and was scaring off strangers 👍🏾. Robert was really easy to talk and coordinate with. He sent me photos if requested. He took the necessary precautions we discussed for my dog-aggressive dog, and didn't seem uncomfortable at any point.
Carolina is great with Zeke! She was able to take him for the week and provided wonderful updates. She gave him tons of playtime, walks, and he even ate normally (he usually does a hunger strike when he boards). So Zeke is very comfortable with her in her home & she has another Min Pin Zeke gets along with! Thanks to her for all her help and care for our furry child!
Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
We left our tiny (3.5 lbs) Chihuahua with Michelle and Otavio while we went to Japan for over a month. As soon as we left, he developed an ear infection. Michelle reached out to me right away to let us know. She made an appointment with our regular vet, took him to her (even though she is an hour away), and then gave him his medication for seven days. This is our third time having Michelle and Otavio watch Emerson. They’ve always taken such good care of him, I was not worried at all. The way they addressed this health issue was so impressive, I definitely hope to keep working with them in the future!

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.
