“This was our first time using Rover and the experience was great! Prior to booking with Mo, she invited us over so our dog could meet her and her family and dog. Mo sent us several daily photos and kept up us up-to-date on how our pup was doing. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and was incredibly accommodating to our travel times. We'll definitely be using Mo in the future!”
“Willow had the best weekend with Kelsey! She sent lots of photos and had great communication the entire weekend. Kelsey is so accommodating and allowed Willow to free roam and sleep on a bed. We couldn’t recommend Kelsey more and will definitely be going back :)”
“It’s my 1st time leaving my ESA and service dogs with anyone but my husband and I am 100% satisfied with the service Anna and her team provided. My girls were pretty tired when the got home but almost seem like they went on a little vacation of their own! Thank you!”
“Danielle was awesome, I would highly recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated and sent pictures while I was on vacation :) very nice family that will treat your pup like family as well.”

“Sara was amazing with our senior pup! She sent daily updates with photos and our shy pup was well-loved throughout our time away. We will definitely book with Sara again in the future!”
“Gina was really great. This was our first time leaving our dog for extended time while out of the country. Gina sent updates 1-2 times a day and always let us know how it was going. We could tell our dog was being well cared for and having fun from the photos/videos. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Christina and her partner James took amazing care of my anxious pup, Toast. She sent consistent updates that made me feel at peace with leaving him. The best part of all is that I came back to a very normal dog. He was very comfortable in their space and became friends with their sweet dog, Gizmo. Toast slept in bed with them every night and he wasnt left alone, like I was worried. I will 100% be using them again. I was so happy with how everything went!”
“Daniel did an outstanding job taking care of Toto, my 12 year old schnauzer mix. He sent lots of photos, which I really appreciated; and it looked like Toto was so happy with all the attention from Daniel and his 2 children. His dog Kali is very sweet and Toto got along with her. Daniel truly did welcome Toto into his family and cared for him as if he were his own. I highly recommend him.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edwardsville
Can't say enough good things. They made us feel very comfortable about leaving our dog with them. There were updates daily with pictures or videos. They kept our dogs routine. When they ran out of food/treats, they went on Amazon and ordered more. We are so grateful that they went above and beyond to make everyone happy with the trip.
Nicole is wonderful! Her caring, energetic attitude paired with her immaculate home, huge yard and sweet family made for a great space to care for our pups! Nicole is very accommodating, flexible and provided us daily pics of our dogs while she was caring for them. Would definitely book her again!
Stacy was fantastic. Our dog is typically anxious at new houses / in new environments, but River was so quickly comfortable with Stacy!! She treated River as her own and gave her lots of love and attention. Her dog Allie was so calm and sweet, so it was so nice to know there would be good company for River who is not normally dog-social. Her home was so lovely, clean, and a calming environment to leave our pup. We will definitely use her again!! 10 out of 10 stars
Lizmarie made me feel comfortable and assured that my dogs were in good hands! She was always very responsive, helpful, and friendly. She was happy to set up a meet and greet with us so my dogs could become familiar with her prior to boarding, sent us lots of photos and videos, and made sure my dogs felt right at home. I was so happy to see how much fun my dogs had going on walks, playing with her sweet dog, and getting lots of pets and snuggles. Lizmarie is very capable and caring, and even helped work with our dog about not pulling on his leash! When our flight home was delayed, she was extremely accommodating and even offered to drop our dogs off at our home. It was great knowing our dogs had a safe and fun vacation with her while we had a vacation of our own. I would be happy to board my dogs with Lizmarie again!
We had such an amazing experience with Richard. Leaving our dog behind is always stressful, but he sent the best daily updates and photos that put us completely at ease! Samson was so happy and well looked after the whole time. We will absolutely be booking with Richard again."
Jessie and Jeeps (her dog) were fantastic! She was accommodating with our dogs routine and walked him many times each day. She was extremely communicative and sent many pictures which made me as a dog mama feel so much more comfortable using rover for the first time. Highly recommend Jessie to watch your pups!

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.

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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 KS 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.
