“Enas was wonderful caring for my dog. From the very beginning she provided thorough communication. I had to book last minute, had a lot going on, she was patient the entire time. She provided daily pictures of my dog. Even when it was time for pickup my dog didn’t want to leave her daughter. 😊 That made my heart smile cause it was proof my dog was loved and cared for genuinely in my absence. Thank you Enas and your family for loving and caring for my Bella 🐾. You are the best and I will certainly be booking with you for any future dog boarding needs.”
“Ana was great with our dog. She was taking good care of her. Always sending us pictures and videos. We were at peace when we knew our dog is in safe hands. Will book her again for sure.”
“Estefania took excellent care of Mina while I was out of town for the weekend. I got several updates of how she was doing every day and lots of pictures of her. Very responsive and Mina had a fun time. Highly recommend Estefania to watch your baby anytime you need.”
“Laina is amazing! We unexpectedly had to go to the hospital and she was able to take Odin to help us out. Odin loves seeing her and you can really tell how much she cares about each and every pet she takes care of. I wish I could leave a larger tip!”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter who somehow agreed to my crazy request to watch 4 dogs for a night (my dogs and my parents dogs). She was great to work with and communicated quickly to set up the meet and greet and coordinate pick up and drop off. You could tell Linda loved dogs, and so did her kids it was really cute. The photos she sent assured us the dogs were all happy throughout the stay and they came home tired. I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”
“Debbie and Reggie did a great job with my dog Jake. They were flexible with pick up time when my return flight was delayed and I found Jake happy and well cared for. They sent me great pics throughout my vacation which gave me peace of mind that Jake was well cared for. I will book them again when I go out of town.”
“Lily's visit with Nibha was exactly what I had hoped for! She, her husband, their two sweet dogs, and their home were very welcoming to both of us. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Thank you, Nibha!”
“Kim and her family are the best! She gave updates and sent many pictures! Bailey was so happy and couldn’t wait to spend time with Kim! She even gave Bailey a Christmas gift! We will always book with Kim!”
“Christina and her family were the perfect house for our 8 month old puppy. They were amazing with him and Charlie and their dog became fast friends. We are grateful to have found a home we trust when we go out of town. Highly recommend Christina!”
“Kristen was very responsive and thorough with her questioning of Zuko's preferences and needs. She followed up once a day as we agreed and it seemed like my doggo enjoyed his time there.”
“This family was wonderful with our Maizie!! She has never been away from us and they made it so comfortable for her. They definitely went above and beyond for her stay and we could not be more grateful!!”
“We came from out of town for a wedding and our puppy Bailey wasn't doing so well in the hotel on her own so we were in desperate need for someone to watch her, Denise was super quick and was able to take her on a real short notice and kept us updated all day/night with so many photos. Bailey was well taken care of and came to us tired from running around with Azure. Couldn't thank her enough.”
“This is the 2nd sitting with Dawn this year... I cannot say enough about the care, love & going above and beyond for my Sharpie. I really appreciate Dawn for who she is and how she treats my baby like her own! Thank You again Dawn!”
“From the moment we entrusted Blanche to Natalie's care, it was clear that we had found a truly special experience for Miss B while we are away. As a first-time Rover boarding client, I was pretty anxious. However, Natalie's extraordinary compassion and professionalism immediately put my mind at ease. What set Natalie apart was her remarkable communication. She provided frequent, detailed updates through messages, photos, and videos that allowed me to feel connected to Blanche throughout her stay. These thoughtful check-ins were more than just updates—they were windows into Blanche's experience, showcasing the genuine care and attention she was receiving. Natalie's expertise truly shone when Blanche began experiencing some hormonal changes during her boarding stay. Instead of being overwhelmed, Natalie handled the situation with remarkable sensitivity and understanding. Her ability to adapt and provide compassionate care during this time was nothing short of impressive. The environment Natalie provides is a dog's paradise. Her gated and private backyard is a dream space that any canine would be thrilled to explore, offering both fun and safety. It was evident that Blanche was not just being housed, but truly cherished and given the opportunity to enjoy her time away from home. The bond that formed between Natalie and Blanche was heartwarming. Her love and commitment to providing top-tier care cannot be overstated. We are already looking forward to Blanche's next stay with "Auntie Natalie" and cannot recommend her services more highly!!! For any pet owner seeking a boarding experience that combines professional care, loving attention, and constant communication, Natalie is absolutely the gold standard!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairmont
We had such a wonderful experience with Natalie ! She was amazing from start to finish and took such great care of our dog. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared about her and treated her like her own. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!
We left our 1 year old Golden Retriever with Natalie for 1 week and couldn’t be more happy with the care he received. He is high energy and is still in his puppy phase which we were concerned about, additionally, this was his first time away from us or close family; Natalie provided us with regular updates with photos and texts throughout the day. He enjoyed all the long walks, being outside with her and found his comfy spots in her nice home. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Natalie care for JJ again in the future. Very thankful for her!

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.
94% of sitters in Fairmont 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 Fairmont 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 Fairmont.
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 Fairmont. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Fairmont 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.
