“This was my first time using Rover. I was a little nervous, but Nicole was very kind, responded very quickly. Gave me updates with a video! It was a last-minute booking for Fourth of July, and she was very accommodating to me and my dog, which I really appreciated the ladder. Highly recommend!! 😊”

“Margaret was quick to respond and seemed very invested in taking care of our dog while we were gone. Updates and information were provided often and our dog was well taken care of, would absolutely use her services again!”
“Sarah took very good care of my little Noah, this was his first stay at someone's house but he stayed at a kennel last summer and wasn't very happy when I picked him up. This is a much better environment to leave him in. I would leave him there again if needed. ”
“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!”
About: Having my own adorable pets, has given me firsthand experience with the changing needs, personalities, and care that come with every stage of a pet's life. I do not currently have pets but I'd like to help make yours happy while you're away and provide peace of mind that they will be well taken care of. I work from home so whether it's frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, belly rubs, or just having someone nearby to keep them company, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs and routines. I have a fenced backyard, a doggy door, an extra-large crate if needed. I live in a safe neighborhood and will be able to walk them on the leash as well as let them run through the yard.
“Thank you Ebony for taking such good care of our baby girl an for all the pictures an updates. Anyone looking to leave their dogs with someone who takes good care of them an keep you updated the whole time give Ebony a call she is great.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edwardsville
I can't say enough about Kim and Caddy. We feel like we hit the lottery of dog sitters! Not only does Kim give Reba undivided attention she makes sure she is walked throughout the day, lots of play time with Caddy (including pool parties with a little baby pool) and a little bit of training to get some of Reba's behavior better.
Mark was wonderful with my girl Stevie! She requires a bit more attention as she has Cushing’s, daily medication and lots of water access. Mark was attentive to her needs and sent me daily photos of Stevie and his cat dog, Henry. I felt great leaving Stevie with Mark and Alicia!
Holly did an amazing job watching our two dogs! She was attentive, communicative, and treated them like her own. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Our pups came back happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Holly and would absolutely book with her again!

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 Edwardsville 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 Edwardsville 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 Edwardsville.
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 Edwardsville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Edwardsville 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.
