“thie first time I have ever left my dog with a stranger so I was a bit nervous. however I was very pleased with Sophies care by Mandy. she sent pictures and videos daily and I appreciated that because it put me at ease. I think she got very good care and I will definitely want to use her services again. She is a very good sitter. I am happy with Rover because now I feel like my dog will be well taken care of using your service.”
“I truly could not have had a better experience! We have never left our dog alone before, and I was not worried the entire time! We got so many pictures and updates throughout the day, we didn’t worry once. Our girl was so happy, she didn’t even want to come back home. We will absolutely be booking again!!”
“First time using Brian and Abigale and I couldn’t have loved them more. They are so friendly and I felt like I was leaving my pups with a wonderful family. Thank you so much. Will definitely use them again if they will have us.”
“We had the most wonderful experience with Judith!! She took great care of Ogie and was a great communicator on how he was doing and what he was up to! Have already booked another stay!”
“Katie is an awesome sitter! We left our 10 month old puppy with her while he was recovering from being neutered and she took excellent care of him. Followed all his care instructions and sent us update pictures. She was quick to respond to all of our messages and very nice. We loved that she was close to home and when we picked up scooter early she was very accommodating. We will for sure use Katie again and we’re relieved we have found a safe place for our puppy scooter when we are traveling 🙂”
“Diane is the best sitter ever. Flexible with pick up and drop off times. She sends so many photos of your fur babies having fun. Next time I need a sitter they will be visiting their new friend Diane again!”
“This was my wife and I’s first time booking with Alycia and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Alycia and her partner, Derek, were so welcoming and friendly, Thor seemed instantly comfortable in their home. Alycia provided thorough updates throughout Thor’s stay and was such a pleasure to communicate with. We will definitely be booking again and would absolutely recommend to others.”
“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”
“Mary was great with my little terrier mix, who typically needs some time to warm up to new people. She gave him his space, and a few hours later…they were friends! She also communicated well and gave a daily update with photo, which I appreciated. Will definitely use her again.”
“Shaina and Imogen were great! We had a last minute booking and she was super accommodating. Finley loved her time over there! Will definitely be booking with her in the future!”
“Our girls didn’t want to leave!!! Ashley stayed in great communication with us, and everything went smoothly from the meet and greet to pick up!! Best choice we’ve made in years!!!”
“Great experience! Sarah was very responsive, sent picture updates and was conveniently located near the arch. My dog enjoyed playing with her dog, making it feel like a play date rather than a boarding experience!”
“Jennifer really helped us out when my daughter brought her baby to town and was worried about Dougie’s loud barking when the baby was trying to sleep. She kept him a few nights and he seems happy and well-cared for. She kept in good touch and made me feel assured that everything was fine…thanks again, Jennifer!”
“Rachel was amazing with our new puppy! We were nervous to leave for the weekend and Rachel put our minds at ease. She was so caring and attentive with our puppy and kept us in the loop with pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone needing care for their pets! ❤️”
“We absolutely love working with Linda & Dwight. They’ve watched our dogs multiple times now, and every stay has been fantastic. Our pups are always excited to see them and come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Communication is great — we always get the right amount of updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. They follow instructions perfectly and truly go above and beyond every time.”
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“Jenna was super easy to communicate with and they took great care of our dog! Mo had the best time with them. We are super grateful they were willing to watch our very energetic dog :)”

Stephanie W was absolutely amazing with our dog, HoneyBun. She treated her like a princess from the moment she arrived and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. HoneyBun was well cared for, taken on walks, and Stephanie kept us updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing HoneyBun was in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I highly recommend Stephanie W to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.

There are 931 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fairview Heights. About 92% of Fairview Heights 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. 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.
