“Monica was absolutely wonderful! She took care of Gracie for several weeks and made the whole process stress-free. Her communication was excellent, keeping us updated and reassured the entire time. Gracie was clearly well cared for, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet care.”
“As always Ellie never disappoints. I know that my girl is going to be taken care of as if she were with me! When we turn on to Ellie’s street for drop off, KokoAnn goes crazy because she knows she’s about to be loved on.”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing. She took good care of our big puppy. She sent pics and kept us updated. Very kind and peaceful environment just like what our big puppy is used to. She did amazing working with his separation anxiety. Thank you Sharon, you are the best.”
“Wrigley is our daughter's dog. Since she is a single mom, working full time, she has limited time to handle stuff. we searched rover.com for accommodations and Nichole M. seemed a good match. Wrigley has never been boarded so all of us were nervous how he would react. Receiving frequent updates and photos put our mind at ease. Nichole seemed genuinely attuned to Wrigley's and our anxieties. He looked cared for, socialized with other dogs and looked great after a wonderful bath. Nichole responded in good time to text/emails. Despite the 40-45 minute drive to her boarding place, it certainly was worth the trip. thank you, Nichole, for caring for Wrigley.”
“Najah was so great with Kash. So much so, he didn't act like he wanted to leave her. She kept me updated on his behavior and how ge was doing the entire time with texts & photos. I will definitely be boarding with Najah again.”
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter while we were away for six days. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to ensure it was a great fit, which immediately gave us confidence in her care. Throughout our vacation, she provided consistent communication with thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, allowing us to truly relax knowing our dogs were well cared for. When one of our dogs experienced a decrease in appetite, she promptly communicated with us and worked through solutions, which we greatly appreciated. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care for our dogs made our trip completely stress-free. We are very thankful to have found such a dedicated and involved sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“April is great! Our dog is shy at first but April and her pack made him feel at home. She spent quality one on one time with him and I’m so appreciative of that! She is a phenomenal dog sitter and we’re definitely going to use her pet sitting services again! Thanks for everything April!”
About: I've had family dogs as long as I can remember and enjoy their company. From puppy to senior I have experience with pet needs and would love to treat your furry friend as our own! Currently available to walk in the late afternoons and evenings on the weekends and evenings only on week days. Only providing dog walking services for now. I have experience feeding and walking my family pets but also enjoy playing with them as well. I love exploring new places with my pets like taking them to the beach for example and enriching their lives with new experiences.
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
“Magda and her family took great care of Coconut. She felt as if it was her home. They sent pictures and updates all the time when we were away. We will surely go back again. Thank you very much”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“Amy was AMAZING!!!!!! My dog was able to run outside, go on walks and car rides, he cuddled up on the couch. Amy gave me updates with pictures and videos, my family loved seeing how his vacation was going and we looked forward to seeing the friends he made”
“We absolutely loved Patti and her family. They made our golden girl feel right at home and treated her like a member of their family. We appreciated the pictures and daily updates. It was obvious she was well cared for and loved. We highly recommend and will definitely have her sit for our precious pet again.”
“Toya was a wonderful sitter. We had to shift our boarding days last minute from Fri-Mon to Thurs-Sun last minute and she was able to accommodate without a problem. She was also very responsive and would reply back to any questions or check-ins within minutes. We especially loved her family environment which I feel was very comforting to our Brick. He seemed very comfortable when he first arrived and upon pick-up from his 3 night stay. We will definitely use Toya’s services again!”
“Thank you Kimberly for taking care of Ripley! We really enjoyed the pictures and the updates on Ripley! Also, we really appreciated you making sure Ripley ate something while staying with you! You made our trip away enjoyable knowing Ripley was taken care of! We would definitely book with you again!!!!😊”

“Debra and Mike are just the best with my little old lady. They play with her and take her on walks. She loves all the snuggles and attention they give her. We will always book with them for our girl. The best for our needs!”
“Desiree was amazing with our 4 year old terrier mix and high energy 5 month old puppy! We were nervous with our puppy who hadn’t been in boarding before, and she was great with keeping us posted on their behavior & sending daily pics/updates. Our dogs came home exhausted from having so much fun at their time away. She was also great with our 4 y.o. who preferred her personal space around the younger dogs there. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: Dog mom of 7 years to a reactive Aussie and a 4yo Pomeranian. Trained both from puppies, as well as groom both at home due to reactivity issues. I am currently a SAHM so I’m available for walks, runs and drop by visits at all times during the week. Weekends are for soccer but we can set a schedule! I have a fenced yard for both my dogs with plenty of yard space for running around and playing. My dogs are also crate trained so we are willing to have overnight guests if needed without any worries.

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.
95% of sitters in Eagle Lake 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 Eagle Lake 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 Eagle Lake.
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 Eagle Lake. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Eagle Lake 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.
