About: I've taken care of many different types of breeds of dogs, specializing in bully breeds, for over 30 years. I recently retired from registered nursing and would love to continue to take care of non humans! I love dogs and am very active. I believe that dogs need love and most importantly exercise! I have trained puppies and cared for senior dogs. Your doggy/doggies will feel right at home and you can be sure they will become a part of our family! I am recently retired and I have all the time in the world to care for dogs! I am very physically active and I will diligently exercise all my doggy friends! I am very dependable and have a wide open schedule with ample flexibility. I have a fenced yard and your doggy will have a female mixed lab to play with! Be assured that your doggy will get plenty of exercise and love while in my care.
“My Bella loved her stay at Kathleen’s house. Kathleen is so sweet and took amazing care of Bella. She also was great with communication, texting and sending pictures daily. I would highly recommend using Kathleen!!”
“Duane was wonderful with our dog. Great communication with pictures. Great backyard. He was able to watch her for us in short notice which was nice. We would use him again and would recommend.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our dog! We really appreciated the updates and photos. It’s clear our dog was comfortable and well loved. We would happily trust you again.🐶”
“A first experience away from a new puppy can be stressful but Tori and her family made it much easier knowing that Sadie was in great hands. We would happily have Sadie return as we have future boarding needs. Thanks again for caring for our important companion while we were away.”
“Nancy was so great with our dogs while we were away. Her experience with her own senior dogs made her the perfect care taker for our 16-year-old pup and five -year old pup. She treated them just like they were her own. We plan to book with her again.”
About: We've cared for dogs of all sizes our entire lives, from energetic Labs to tiny Poms. I’ve also raised cats and chickens, so I'm comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for in my home. I Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I'm able to provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Pets aren’t left alone for long periods, and their needs are easily integrated into my schedule—making their care a consistent priority. Safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, pets are always supervised and have access to a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give my own. I monitor behavior closely, provide plenty of enrichment, and ensure pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free.
“Sharon and Glen provided a nice meet and greet, which was reassuring and permitted my dog to meet their dogs. I needed a long stay and they were able to accommodate at a reasonable price. They sent pictures to update me during our vacation. My dog seemed happy with the arrangement as well! Thank you for a great experience!”
“Taylor is wonderful! She sends photo updates of the dogs while we’re away, and the dogs always come back happy and well taken care of! Will definitely use her again :)”
“Anna was fantastic. She gave Leo his medicine and was very understanding and kind when he ended up getting sick. Provided updates and pictures throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend Anna and Leo can’t wait to go back.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with Mocha’s stay with Lauren! Mocha spent eight days with her, and it was such a relief knowing she was in great hands. We loved getting pictures and updates and seeing how much Mocha enjoyed spending time with Lauren and her dog. Lauren has a nice backyard and a great setup for dogs to play and enjoy being outside. She was so easy to communicate with and made drop-off and pickup a breeze. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Lauren made us feel completely at ease. We’re so glad we found her and will definitely have Mocha stay with her again!”
“Very good. I feel Tasha truly showed love and compassion with Gianni. I feel she spoiled him to the point where when he came home he was really looking forward to going right back. I received photos daily of his activity.”
“Michelle watched our boy Moose while we were away for our honeymoon. We were nervous about leaving him with someone for a week but as soon as we set up a meet & greet with Michelle, we knew Moose would be in great hands. We didn’t have any worry while away. Moose had so many other pups to play with and Michelle sent us pictures of him almost daily! We will definitely use her again.”

Pet 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!

There are 1,142 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Edwardsville. About 93% of Edwardsville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
