“April is amazing and her boarding is top notch. We're excited to have found an incredible teacher and can't wait to learn from her so we can get the same amazing results on our walks with our pups. She took the time to get to know us and each of our dogs. Her approach is structured and supportive. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Jackson is so pampered when he gets to stay. I will continue to use KAYLA whenever we are going out of town. Already looking forward to the next 'visit' I know Jackson is ready, he loves it over at Kayla's ”
“Mila was so sweet to my senior pup Charlie! This was my first time boarding him with anyone. We FaceTimed before hand which reassured me that Charlie was in good hands, she took notes regarding special routine things he needed and while on my trip Mila sent photo updates that put my mind at ease. Charlie was loved and well taken care of, going to Milas made him feel like a part of the family ! We’ve pre booked with her again and I know Charlie is looking forward to it !”
“We loved receiving video and photo updates from Marshel. Our dog was anxious the first night of his boarding, but Marshel and daughters made him feel at home. Great communication! We will definitely book again, so Seabass can play with Arthur.”
“Elaine and her family watched my dobie and I couldn't have been happier with his stay. They loved him like he was their own and I felt totally comfortable leaving him. I have used Elaine twice and I will continue using her in the future. She was fantastic!”
“As always, Sheri & Bill are a great comfort. Roscoe recognizes when we pull into their driveway and is happy when we see him run right up to their front door!”
“Aarika was very responsive, polite and flexible. I felt that she was easily accessible. My pup was very happy and clearly well taken care of. It was clear to me that she treated him as if he was her own and that’s exactly what I’m looking for in a Dog Sitter . I almost don’t want to leave her a good review because I want to keep her services all to myself! Haha .”
“Lana was great; very responsive and helpful. She was also very understanding when are arrival got delayed. If we need help again, I would book her especially since our dogs got along so well.”
“Olive loves to spend time with Teri and she comes home rested and well adjusted. For the record, Olive can be a little high strung (she is a poodle after all, she comes by it honestly). Teri is really good with her.”
“Our black lab stayed with Janelle and Travis for a week. We received updates during the week and our dog came home exhausted from all the outside play time she got. Thank you!”
“This is the first time using someone to watch our dog... it was an absolute wonderful experience we ever had. Very polite and communicated with fast responses. Our dog is very shy amd timid but they understood that and worked with him for the time they had him. We felt like they became part of our family.”
“Katie is amazing! I have used Rover for years, and she is truly above and beyond. She's very intelligent, love animals, knows how to treat them and what they need, is calm and effective and reassuring and loving with my dogs. And they feel it. I really can't rate her highly enough. I can't say that after years of leaving various dogs for boarding in homes, her Home and her Care were above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. This is the first time I have left my rescue pups, one of them, blind, in a boarding home for several days. And it's truly the first time in all those years that I have not been anxious and worried about how my pups were doing. That is a level of trust and confidence I place in this woman. Thank you, katie! And thank you so much to your beautiful daughter for helping out and giving my pups lots of love Suzanne”
“We got so lucky finding Dino and Gary on Rover! It was our first time leaving our poodle Mia with someone since we had rescued her in September so we were a little nervous. But Gary and Dino were so warm and accommodating, making ours and Mia’s experience very comfortable.”
“Nickey is absolutely amazing! She took care of our anxious pup and we could tell he loved her pretty much immediately. She sent numerous photos and videos throughout the day and was very communicative. She went above and beyond and showed our dog so much love. Truly the best dog sitter ever!”
“This was our second time that our dog stayed with Kelsey and he loves it there. Kelsey is very communicative and takes great care of our dog. Would have our dog stay again.”
“Alexis was great at a late minute booking for our three dogs! She was fantastic and sent us updates with pictures. It was a very easy process for our first time using Rover.”
“Our girl Bella had such a good time during her stay. She was so happy and excited with all the playing and running she did. Wan and family sent us lots of videos and messages throughout that made us feel more at ease. I would definitely recommend them for any dog sitting or boarding needs!”
“Charlie's second stay with Marlene was even better than his first - He came home happy and completely POOPED out from having too much fun ! Thank you, Marlene for the care you provide. I am completely as ease knowing Charlie is in your care.”
“Our Jasper had an excellent stay with Craig! We met beforehand and let Jasper get comfortable with where he would be staying and got to chat with Craig and get to know him a bit. Craig was very good at walking us through all the care and attention that Jasper would receive and answered all my questions. We felt very safe leaving our pup with him. I would recommend others to reach out to Craig for his services and we will definitely use his sitting services again too.”
“Art is absolutely AMAZING with my dog, his needs and made him so very happy while I was away. I will 10/10 be coming back to art in the future as long as he'll have brutal! Thank you so very very much Art!”

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.
93% 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 WA 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.
