“I want to acknowledge how professional and well organized Iman handles her business. I am a first time pet owner and Rover user. I had to leave town for 6 days for a vacation. I had anxiety around who was going to care for my pet. I did a google search and stumbled across this platform. Iman picture was highlighted for me. My spirit felt like she would be the one to choose. I’m proud to say that I was not wrong in following that inner voice. Iman took care of my pet better than me. I enjoyed the warm welcome with a personalized sign. I was able to walk in the house to see Ace also had friends to play with and a doggy play area. My Ace normally barks at strangers but he seemed comfortable with Iman right away. He received high quality luxury style care. The activities, videos and pictures updates were comforting and entertaining to watch. I don’t want to give all her secrets away I love that she celebrated his birthday with a paint party. I also love how happy he looked the entire time. I was impressed with the level of experience Iman has. I also appreciate that she makes dog food and my pet seem to like her food more. I will be ordering food for him. I will also use Iman for all my future pet needs. I think I have hit a goldmine with her services. I have no need to seek out anyone else. I am throughly satisfied with the love and care provided to my Ace. My trip was extended a day due to unforeseen circumstances at the airport and Iman did not hesitate to provide extended care. I recommend her services to anyone who needs it. I promise you will not be disappointed.”

“Amy was amazing with Jax!!! She gave daily night reports, long walks, intentional playtime. Jax got along with her pups too. She even gave him a nice bath so he was perfect returning to us. I'm sure Jax didn't want to leave with all of the love and care from Amy. Highly recommend and will definitely return.”
“One of the best sitters I’ve used on this app. She had very good communication and sent constant updates and pics. I feel confident to leave my baby with her again! See you soon Sheree ?”
“This is the second time Harper has stayed with Bola - she is amazing with him. Whenever I drop him off, he just forgets about me. She's super attentive, ask questions when she's unsure, and checks in enough to give me comfort. Would return asap!”
“Jesus was great with my poodle, he sent pictures or video of him daily. Jesus is caring and in tune to what your pet needs. He had so many toys for the dogs to play with. Jesus has a wonderful personality, and my dogs seem to love him. When I picked up my poodle Jesus had given him a bath, his bed was washed, and he was happy. I could not have picked a better person to keep my poodle. Jesus is the best of the best and my poodle enjoyed his time with Jesus and his family!”
“Shani was so great! This was our first time leaving our dog Lucy and Shani made us feel comfortable providing daily updates with photos and videos. Lucy loved being at her home and we will definitely return!”

“Chloe is a shy and cautious puppy. Janet sent me updates frequently during her stay. She cared about her happiness and went above and beyond to become friends with Chloe. I really appreciate her love for Chloe. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Now I can travel guilt free knowing my puppy is in good hands.”
“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”

“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”

Latasha is the best, she made the whole process Completely simple and easy. I will be using her services again. And I can tell that my dog Charlie really did enjoy his stay. She kept me informed and sent lots of pictures. Thank you for providing my dog a home away from home.
My pup Apollo had a wonderful stay with Latasha! He loved spending time with her daughters and got plenty attention and playtime.

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 Dolton 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 Dolton 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 Dolton.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Dolton 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.
