“Soojin is an amazing doggy sitter! My pup Toby loved her so much, the next time I brought him to stay with her he was practically jumping out of the car window to jump in her arms. She truly loves dogs and caring for them and will treat your pup as if it's her own. 10/10! Will absolutely bring Toby back to stay with her when I need a sitter.”
“Finn had a great time with Nicole, and we were so pleased to have found her. Finn is a 7-yr old Lab and full of energy. But Nicole was a pro, and Finn showered her with kisses. It was our first time and it was such a relief to know our pup would be safe and happy with Nicole. Already booking our next boarding appointment. We highly recommend leaving your fur baby in Nicole’s capable hands.”
“Michael was a great Rover sitter. He answered all of our questions during a meet and greet, so we’d feel comfortable leaving our dog with him. We got many pictures through out the week (as we requested) so we knew our pup was settling in well while we were gone. He was very flexible with dates as well when we needed to make a slight change to our drop off day. Would definitely recommend Michael and will consider him for future bookings for our pup!”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”
“Kyle did an amazing job with Merlin! He watched him for about a week during our family’s move, and with her to send pictures and videos to keep us updated while we missed him. Great communication! We highly recommend Kyle”
“Amy is wonderful. We requested extra photos since it was a longer stay and she really went above and beyond. Bambi was clearly relaxed throughout her entire stay and not at all stressed when we picked her up.”
“My puppy absolutely loved Cecilia! He’s very timid and never done well with overnight boarding kennels. This is the first time I’ve had total peace of mind leaving him at someone’s home. The updates went above and beyond! Thank you so much again Cecilia- Happy absolutely loves you and definitely will be coming back again soon! ?”
“Tatiana was dedicated to providing good care to our 6 month old cat and consistently provided updates with photos for the whole stay. Our cat genuinely looked relaxed and happy while we were gone.”
“First time having Livia and Matthew take our pups overnight. Was really happy to see how they engaged with the pups, gave us status updates, and followed through by discussing their stay when we picked them up. When something out of the ordinary came up, they texted to confirm in order to get To understand the pups better. We strongly recommend them and will be using their services in the future. Thank you Livia and Matthew.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Saga. I appreciated all the pictures you shared, it let me know that she was really enjoying herself! It is truly a comfort having such wonderful caretakers available when I have had to be out of town.”
“We had another fantastic experience with Marissa. This was her second time watching our 11 years old dachshund, and we couldn't be happier. Since he's a senior dog, it means the world to us knowing he's in such gentle, attentive, and caring hands. He was so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. We will definitely be booking Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“Sarah was fantastic. She was extremely accommodating and helpful. My cat, who isn't usually used to strangers, opened up to her very fast—which is a great judge of character. I highly recommend using her and will definitely do so again in the future.”
“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Luciana took very good care of our chihuahua. Luciana is very professional and friendly. She listened to our instructions very carefully and adhered to it. She took the dog out multiple times and fed him on time as requested. She gave very frequent updates and posted photos and videos of the dog having a happy time at her home. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend her and be a repeat customer as well”
“I had a great experience with this dog boarding service! They took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I especially loved receiving daily pictures—it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The communication was great, and I could tell they genuinely cared about my dog. I would definitely use their service again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place to board their dog!”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Deerfield
Livia and Matthew are THE BEST!! They were so kind and took very good care of my dog while I was on vacation. I felt completely at ease and relaxed while away knowing that my dog is happy and safe with Livia and Matthew. They sent lots of pictures and updates on what she's doing and how happy she was. I would board my dog again with Livia and Matthew in the future without hesitation.
My dogs were so well taken care of by Gvido and family! They have a fantastic, fully fenced yard that my dogs loved to explore. They also took my dogs on daily walks in the nearby forest preserve. It made me so happy that my dogs were so happy while we were out of town!
Svetlana and her family took great care of my dog with medical needs. She followed my instructions by ensuring that medication/needs were given at specific times. She gave my dog plenty of attention throughout his stay and reassured me with important updates. This is the second time we've used Svetlana, and my dog ran right up to the house at drop-off--a sign of a trusted sitter! Highly recommended.
This was our first time leaving Lula with a Rover host rather than in a kennel and we were a bit nervous, but Abby immediately eased are worries with detailed updates and great photos. Abby even put Lula's suspender boots on for the walks. When it is very wet outside, Lula becomes filthy and the boots help keep her clean. Even though Lula tolerates putting the boots in, it's never an easy feat with an 80lb dog, so we were very pleased when Abby showed up a happy (dry/clean) Lula with boots on for her walks. We would 100% book with Abby again!
Soojin went above and beyond in caring for our dog. She and her young children loved having him with them, and spoiled him with attention, love, and accommodation. Many updates, pics and videos were sent our way during our time away, and there was always quick communication. Our dog Ollie loved playing in their fenced in backyard. We hope to book with them again someday!

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.
95% of sitters in Deerfield 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 Deerfield home-away-from-home, 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 Deerfield.
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 Deerfield 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 , 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 .
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.
