“Enas was so kind! Brought my 2 boys, Ace and Bruno, over and they came back super tired! So I know their exercise needs were met! Her daughters are also very kind and seem very responsible as well! Enas also made sure to update me with pictures everyday! And let me know how everything went when I went to pick them up! Will definitely be rebooking for my next trip! Ace and Bruno were very well cared for!”
“Beth was excellent! This was a great experience, I would definitely recommend Beth (and her sweet little dog Gracie!) and will be sure to reach out to her again when needed. Thank you so much, Beth!”
“Grace was so wonderful and absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so flexible when I wanted to set up a meet and greet with her dog. She sent regular updates over our stay, pictures, and videos. Arya had so much fun playing with Bella and being able to relax afterward. I felt that my dog was safe and Grace was easily contactable whenever I messaged her. I will definitely be reaching out to Grace again whenever I need a sitter for my dog and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Leslie was wonderful with my Yorkies! She kept me updated the whole time, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. They ate all their food and settled in like they were at home, which says a lot about how comfortable she made them. You can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend Leslie and will definitely book her again. She's super sweet.”
“Ruby had a wonderful stay and made lots of new friends. I’m grateful to have a place where I feel comfortable leaving my fur baby and knowing she will be well taken care of 💕”
“Pat did her usual fantastic job sitting our two dogs during our 10-day vacation. Our boys are very different - one young and boisterous, the other senior and laid back - and Pat gives each one of them the care and attention they need. Pat also does such a great job keeping us updated with pictures and comments throughout the booking. It’s so reassuring to know that they’re in such good hands!”
“Chad did a great job looking after my boy Ozzie while I was on a quick work trip. He was extremely flexible when my flight and bag got delayed. Overall, a great experience having him watch my pup!”
“Lupita was a Godsend and was able to take my very shy/skittish Border Collie for 12 days at the last minute after another sitter cancelled. She did a fabulous job caring for her and would absolutely recommend her and would for sure re-book! Super friendly and communicative! Thank you!!”
“Erin was literally the BEST sitter we could’ve had! We are so lucky to have found her on such short notice. She gave so much care and attention to our Jada while we were out of town and her furrbaby Nala made Kadas stay EVEN BETTER! I cant say enough good things about how much we loved Erin! Absolutely amazing! After being apprehensive of using rover for the first time - my expectations have been easily exceeded! We can’t thank you enough Erin! ❤️❤️❤️”

“From the moment we entrusted Blanche to Natalie's care, it was clear that we had found a truly special experience for Miss B while we are away. As a first-time Rover boarding client, I was pretty anxious. However, Natalie's extraordinary compassion and professionalism immediately put my mind at ease. What set Natalie apart was her remarkable communication. She provided frequent, detailed updates through messages, photos, and videos that allowed me to feel connected to Blanche throughout her stay. These thoughtful check-ins were more than just updates—they were windows into Blanche's experience, showcasing the genuine care and attention she was receiving. Natalie's expertise truly shone when Blanche began experiencing some hormonal changes during her boarding stay. Instead of being overwhelmed, Natalie handled the situation with remarkable sensitivity and understanding. Her ability to adapt and provide compassionate care during this time was nothing short of impressive. The environment Natalie provides is a dog's paradise. Her gated and private backyard is a dream space that any canine would be thrilled to explore, offering both fun and safety. It was evident that Blanche was not just being housed, but truly cherished and given the opportunity to enjoy her time away from home. The bond that formed between Natalie and Blanche was heartwarming. Her love and commitment to providing top-tier care cannot be overstated. We are already looking forward to Blanche's next stay with "Auntie Natalie" and cannot recommend her services more highly!!! For any pet owner seeking a boarding experience that combines professional care, loving attention, and constant communication, Natalie is absolutely the gold standard!”
“I cannot say enough about the great care Dawn gave to my baby while I was on vacation. The daily communication to keep me posted of how he's doing... The pictures - which I appreciated deeply... The love and attention that she gave to Sharpie.. no words. I highly recommend Dawn to care for your fur babies... I know I will definitely use her services again. Thank you Dawn!”
“Sim stepped in on short notice after an initial dog sitter arrangement fell through, providing immediate help during a stressful situation. Sim and his family welcomed our puppy as one of their own, ensuring he felt comfortable and at home. It was so nice to get regular updates, including pictures and videos, throughout the stay. This frequent communication allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation without worry. Sim is a highly dependable and caring dog sitter, ideal for pet owners seeking reliable, communicative, and compassionate care for their dogs.”

Sylvie is amazing and treats my dog like family! She is experienced with different behaviors and does a great job making even nervous dogs (and owners) feel comfortable quickly. She communicates well and sends pictures videos to feel connected. The yard is very large and fenced so great space for dogs to get exercise. I will be booking another reservation today! Highly recommend.
Brittany took great care of my fur baby. I had some difficulty with the timing of my trip and she was very accommodating. I also have difficulty leaving my sweet fur baby behind. He came home so relaxed and at ease. That was a good sign for me. Thanks so much Brittany! I will be using you again in the future ❤️💙.
Ana was wonderful and we've already scheduled another date with her. She's very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy which always makes it easier to leave your fur baby in someone else's care. Ana was in constant contact with us through pictures, videos and texts and our 12 year old GSP Ellie was living her best life! We would highly recommend her to anyone!
Clarissa did an outstanding job caring for our 4-year-old Boxer, Tyson, for an entire week while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious from the updates that Tyson was having a great time with walks, outdoor play, and lots of love. When she dropped him off tonight, he came home happy, healthy, and relaxed—a true sign that he was well cared for. Clarissa is kind, reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We are incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thank you again, Clarissa, for taking such wonderful care of Tyson! ❤️

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 Crystal Lawns 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 Crystal Lawns 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 Crystal Lawns.
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 Crystal Lawns. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Crystal Lawns 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.
