“Pandora had such a great time! My American Bulldog can be a handful sometimes, but Danielle made her feel right at home. I got daily updates and photos, which really put me at ease while I was away. It was clear she was well cared for and loved during her stay. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Our first time with Jessica and we could not have been more pleased. Jessica was extremely approachable, easy to talk to and made me feel that my pup was in good hands for 3 days. Got videos sent to me and she was more than willing to chat to put me at ease. Thanks Jessica!”
“Jackie was great! She loved on my little guy while we were away and kept us connected with regular updates and pictures. I could see he was happy and well loved the entire time!! Thank you so much!!”

“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“Maddie was a great babysitter for our dog, Marcie! She was very quick with her responses. She sent lots of really cute pictures, which assured us that Marcie was well taken care of and having fun. Marcie came home nice and tired from her stay at Maddie's house!”
“There are not enough stars for my review. Katey and her family are so gracious and kind and from the moment of our Meet & Greet I knew my German Shepherd would be in good hands. My dog suffers anxiety and is quite shy but knowing Katey had been a Vet Tech made me feel comfortable that any issues would be minimal and that is exactly what occurred. Katey was very responsive to text messages and sent tons of photos. I feel so blessed to know if I need someone in the future that Katey is on Rover as an option. If you love you pet as if they were your child, then trust them with someone responsible, caring, and professional, choose Katey for your next boarding or daycare. Thanks Katey, Wrigley already misses you all.”
“Holly's second extended stay with Jackie was another great experience. Daily updates and photos, lots of attention and treats, and Holly even received a little holiday gift! Absolutely recommend.”

“Keith was a great host for my Frenchie Nugget. He does interviews and asks all questions you could imagine about your dog. Keith took amazing care of him and Nugget felt like he was at home there. I was nervous he wouldn’t do well but he did great thanks to Keith. 10/10 would and will book again.”
“Carla was great. Fin was good company with her dog, and Carla sent me periodic photos of Fin being comfortable and well cared for. Fin is just under 16, and is very old and slow at this point. Carla even carried Fin up stairs at nights so that he could sleep in their bedroom with their dog, rather than alone by himself downstairs. Carla also gave fin his morning meds with his food. Thank you, Carla!”
“Mera was a wonderful sitter for our dog Chewie, giving him walks and his special dinners. She and her family took great care of him while we were away for a few days. We hope to rebook with Mera.”
“Lynda was attentive to Nougat’s needs. Provided exercise and safe interaction with other pets. She really puts her heart into what she does. I will be using her again when I travel.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington
We are so fortunate to have discovered Goka! Our pets immediately fell in love with her and family. She kept our dog and made house calls for our cat. Goka went above and beyond to keep in touch with us via videos, photos and texts on our fur babies. Our pets not only received the best, but Goka is a friend made!
Emily is amazing! This was our first time booking with Emily! I can say her home is set up lovely for her pet and our pet. She sent pictures during Bella’s stay! I love the fact that her baby and our baby were comfortable around each other with the same vibe! I will definitely book with Emily again! Thank you Emily!
Christine was great, made us feel comfortable with leaving Finley over the weekend, provided just enough updates to keep in touch and not be overwhelmed with messages. Finley had a blast and slept the entire next day from all the fun. Definitely going to rebook whenever we can.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Farmington home-away-from-home, 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 Farmington.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Farmington 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 , 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 .
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.
