“I cannot recommend Kelly and her family enough! They have been taking care of Zeke for any planned travel during the last ~6 months and he absolutely loves his time with them. Kelly is incredibly attentive and always sends me pictures and updates. I trust Kelly and her family completely with Zeke and am so grateful for the wonderful care they provide. Thank you, Kelly, for taking such great care of Zeke!”
“Riley and Mike did amazing, they don’t keep dogs cooped up all day they keep them active and always doing fun things with them, I could see instantly how much my dog loved being over there, Riley sent pics and texts everyday, will definitely keep using Riley and Mike!!”
“Excellent dog sitter! Very reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the whole time. I will definitely book again. 🐶”
About: I’m recently widowed and looking for a way to get outside and walk more consistently. I don’t like to walk alone so I figured walking with someone’s pet would be a good place to start! I have owned animals all my life; birds, cats, dogs, horses, etc. I currently have a blue heeler/border collie mix but he’ll stay home during my walks with your pup! I’m available during the week, during normal school hours. I have a daughter in school so I need to be home in the evenings to help with homework, etc. I have one friendly dog that loves to have animal friends come play. I also have crates that can house small to medium sized dogs.
About: Having my own adorable pets, has given me firsthand experience with the changing needs, personalities, and care that come with every stage of a pet's life. I do not currently have pets but I'd like to help make yours happy while you're away and provide peace of mind that they will be well taken care of. I work from home so whether it's frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, belly rubs, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. I have a fenced backyard, a doggy door, an extra-large crate if needed. I live in a safe neighborhood and will be able to walk them on the leash as well as let them run through the yard.
“Deb did an amazing job boarding our two high-energy Aussies for four days. This was their first time away from home, and they can be a handful. But we needn't have worried. They absolutely LOVED staying with Deb. She cares for dogs as if they are her own family. We can't thank her enough.”
“Shonte was absolutely amazing with Milo! She came through for us on less than 24 hours’ notice, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such wonderful care of him and went above and beyond by keeping me updated throughout the day with messages, pictures, and videos. It was clear how much love and attention she gave him, and seeing how comfortable and happy he was with her gave me so much peace of mind. She treated Milo like her own, and that means everything to me. I’m so grateful for her and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their fur baby. We will definitely be booking with Shonte again! ❤️🐾”
About: Without having a ton of experience, I work well and will live up to your expectations! I love animals; I have two dogs, a kitty and a guinea pig. I'm good with all different types! I'm a senior high school, trying to start a part-time job here. I've kept the same job for two years and have loved that experience working with kids! I'm good with keeping puppies safe on walks. My cavalier loves to go on long walks. Keeping a good eye of roads, what they step on, and what they eat!
“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Sidney took great care of my two dogs. My dogs were not excited to see me at pickup so I'm going to take that as a sign that they loved staying over and playing with her dog. I would definitely book again next time I'm out of town!”
“Diane is the best sitter ever. Flexible with pick up and drop off times. She sends so many photos of your fur babies having fun. Next time I need a sitter they will be visiting their new friend Diane again!”
“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”
“Sarah did a great job taking care of my Lily over a long 4-day weekend. She provided lots of love and attention, and plenty of updates and photos while I was away. My dog came home happy, and calm, which is an excellent sign of good care. I would definitely recommend Sarah if you want your dog spoiled! And who doesn't want that?!!”
“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”

Loved Kelly! This was the most seamless and professional boarding that I've ever experienced! I can tell through the pictures and communication that she genuinely loves dogs. The care she gave my fur babies was exceptional! I'll definitely be using her services again!
I truly appreciate her and would wholeheartedly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy caregiver! 🐾❤️🐾 So grateful for the care and patience Nicole showed Ms. Hazel over the weekend! Hazel can be anxious and a bit overwhelmed in new environments and such, but Nicole took the time to help Hazel feel comfortable and even gave her a blanket to snuggle with. 💛Communication was great from our initial meet & greet through pick-up, with thoughtful updates throughout the weekend. When Hazel had a mishap with her harness, Nicole handled it immediately and ordered a replacement without hesitation. Leaving my girl with someone new isn’t always easy, it means a lot to me that my pup was met with patience, compassion, and genuine care. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my baby girl ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Haylie has watched Canela for daycare multiple times but this is my first time leaving Canela with her for boarding! Canela ADORES her and Haylie always sends me lots of updates. I was able to go out of town without any stress whatsoever and as always, I cannot recommend Haylie enough! Book her!
Abe has a heart of gold! From the moment my dogs arrived, he received them as if they were his own. Abe was very affectionate with my babies and they absolutely loved him! My little dog is hard to please and warmed up to Abe as if she knew him her entire life. I received multiple updates throughout the day while I was away and Abe responded to any questions/comments almost immediately. Will be booking with Abe again.
We have been using Amber exclusively for the past 8 months and couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly reliable, extremely flexible, and genuinely caring. Our dog Theo has severe separation anxiety, and she has been amazing with him—he absolutely loves her. He starts getting excited blocks before we even reach her house, which says everything. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Highly recommend!

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.
94% of sitters in Collinsville 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 Collinsville 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 Collinsville.
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 Collinsville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Collinsville 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.
