“My dogs had another great experience with Melanie for 5 days when I went on vacation. They love it there and her other dogs. The videos and photos she sent each day of my dogs made me feel happy to see them playing and relaxing at her house. Melanie is great, and I’m so happy I found her.”
“Timothy is an excellent Rover sitter! He boarded our dog at his house for 9 nights. I like that he had us do a meet and greet first to ensure our dog would be a good fit. This was our first time using a sitter and I was nervous at first, but Timothy had great communication and I really appreciated the regular updates and great pictures. Our dog did well socializing and playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be booking with Timothy 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!”
“Beth was a perfect fit for us! Turq warmed right up to her and they really seemed to match each other's energy. We got plenty of updates which assured us he was comfortable and happy, which we loved. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Debbie is awesome!!! I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone who wants to have their furbaby treated like they are at home. She was so accommodating and sent daily updates. It was the first time we had taken our dog to a sitter so I was understandably nervous. However, Debbie calmed any fears that I had and I know my dog had a great time! Debbie is wonderful!!”
“Leanne was absolutely amazing with our two dogs for the holiday weekend. She was very communicative and so great with letting them run around d and enjoy their home.”
“Evan and Kaleigh are amazing! I was delayed on the drop off day. They were so patient and encouraged me to take my time getting there. We received pictures and updates throughout the duration of our vacation and were playing with the dogs when I picked them up. My pups were so well taken care of that they barely greeted me, which I took as a great sign! Thank you Evan and Kaleigh for giving us the peace of mind during our vacation!”
“Bon Bon really seemed to have a good time when staying with Rayna and Zachary! She played a lot and she loved all her doggie friends. Bon Bon was taken to the dog park which I got videos of her running around. Which I loved because all the pictures and videos made me feel like she was in good hands! My doggo seemed VERY happy ? I will use them again if I go out town! I highly recommend them?”
“Our little terrier mix and our big Irish Settler loved staying with Sarah and her family. Very loving home and plenty of fenced in backyard for play. Sarah was adaptable to our uncertainty time of arrival due to travel from NC to MO which we truly appreciated. Sarah’s home is perfect for visiting pups I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a place for their precious dogs to be while on vacation.”
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“I highly recommend Tara. She has a loving home and I feel as though my Finn is comfortable staying with her and her family. Tara is easy to communicate with and accommodating; she makes the process very easy. I will definitely use her again.”
“Katie was great! I had a flight mishap and my other dog sitter couldn’t watch my dog any longer while I was out of the country due to a prior commitment she had. However, I reached out to Katie and she was able to pick up my dog from the other sitter and watch her. Her communication was great and it helped so much while navigating a stressful situation. Outside of that she did great with Bailey and provided daily updates. Thank you Katie!”
“This was our first time booking with Debbie, which meant my anxiety was high leaving Gerti with yet another new sitter. I had nothing to worry about though because Debbie was wonderful with the photos and updates she sent me while we were away. And by the end of Gerti's stay, it looked like she had really warmed up to Debbie.”
“My dog loved boarding with Katie. She kept my dog super active with lots of hikes and walks and I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and her home. Katie was super easy to work with as well.”
“Lori was amazing! She took such good care of our girl. We received photos everyday with an update of everything they had done; car rides, a special treat, walks, playing ball, meeting new friends! We are looking forward to Lori taking care of Penny again later this year when we will be gone for a longer amount of time. Because of her loving care, we will be able to enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Lori!”
“Madhu and her family did an excellent job watching my dog while I was out of town. We had never left our dog overnight, and Madhu was very responsive to all of our questions. While we were away, we received updates and photos, which further relieved any fears we had about leaving our dog. He absolutely loved his stay and was obviously well cared for. Thanks so much!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Deer Plain 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 Deer Plain.
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.
You and your Deer Plain 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.
