“Samantha is the best! This is the 4th time she has watched our puppy. Teddy had a bit of an upset tummy when we dropped him off. She updated us often with how he was doing throughout his stay. We knew he was in good hands. He is all better now. Samantha was also flexible with our pickup time when we arrived home a little later than planned. I highly recommend Samantha.”
“Boarded our lab puppy with Jody for several days and our experience was great! We had to extend our stay also after some unexpected changes in our schedule, and he was super accommodating. We got pictures and updates and Murphy got walks etc. It was incredibly hot also during Murphy’s stay, and Jody sent messages updating us that the dogs were in the AC etc.! Would definitely book here again!”
“Bethany was fantastic with Sadie, and I will absolutely use her again. She was kept me well informed of how Sadie was doing the whole time, with photos and commentary. She was very flexible when my travel plans changed. Sadie felt very comfortable at her house and enjoyed the cuddles and walks. I highly recommend!”
“Clara did a really good job at taking care of my two boys. I could noticeably tell they were both calm and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Clara”
“Scheduling with Kristen was a breeze! She was very accommodating and flexible with the pick up and drop off times. I was a little nervous with this being my first time ever boarding my dog but she made it very easy on me by providing periodic updates. The fact that she also has 2 bichons and that he had a blast definitely puts me in the returning customer category!”
“Chris made me and my fur baby feel comfortable in her home. I appreciate her time to meet us in her home and discuss our pet. Our fur baby suffers from separation anxiety but because of Chris’s personality and experience in caring for pets my boy was relaxed and therefore I was able to relax during our vacation. 100% recommend you to trust Chris with your fur baby. Thanks Chris!”
“Wrigley always enjoys his time with Nancy. We enjoy the pics and videos that Nancy shares while we are away from our pup. We always know that Wrigley is in good hands with Nancy and we don't have to worry about him!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Leo while we were away on our trip to Punta Cana! She took such great care of him and gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in loving and capable hands. She was great at keeping us posted, and clearly treated Leo like he was her own. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. We’re so grateful to Heather and would absolutely trust her with Leo again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you, Heather!”
“Jane and her dog are great! My Paisley seems to love being there. Lots of walks and love and playtime in her fenced yard. I never worry about her when I am gone. Jane sends lots of fun pictures with positive comments that ease my worries. Jane is a great communicator.”
“Jonathan was amazing! Our dog is young and very high energy and I felt safe leaving her with a very capable sitter and dog trainer! Also he sent videos and updates and she loved it there! Thank you JC, for taking such good care of our baby girl! We will definitely book again!”
“Adrienne is amazing. She was very attentive to Milo, who sometimes takes a bit to warm up to a new environment. In addition, even though the temps were very cold she still walked Milo which I really appreciated because he loves his walks!! Definitely a wonderful dog sitter and will use her again.”
“Taylor and Kevin were fantastic with my pup! I got multiple pics and videos and they responded immediately any time I messaged them checking on him! We will continue to take our dog there any time we are out of town! Thank you so much!!!😊”
“Shadow enjoyed his short one-night stay with Kristen and will be going back again next weekend! She was good about our request to help him with stairs since we had noticed one of his legs bothering him. Kristen was great with communication and pictures.”
“Jacklyn took amazing care of our dog Mac! She provided thorough updates and pictures. He was clearly well taken care of while we were gone and we would definitely use her for future needs!”
“Jeff and his wife were very good with our Goldendoodle. She was quite content at there home for 2 weeks while we were away. We were a bit anxious because this was a new sitter for her. Normally our son cares for her. She seemed to do great and got along well with their dog, Copper. We received updates and pictures via text several times and that was great. Thanks for caring for our fur-baby!”
“My dog had lots of fun and seemed to be well taken care of. She had friends to play with, and was pretty sad when we left! You could just tell she wasn't ready to leave. I got nightly updates and they handled her very well.”
“My JoJo loved Megan and her family. We received many pictures and videos and I was certain she was being care for like she was their own. We will definitely be reaching out to Megan in the near future!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
96% of sitters in Cicero 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 Cicero 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 Cicero.
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 Cicero. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Cicero 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 IN 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.
