“She was amazing and so sweet with our two dogs. It was their first time being away from home and we were super nervous, but she sent us photos, videos, and updates everyday while we were gone. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Bear was so well taken care of with Maria! She sends pictures and videos everyday and accommodates all his special needs. I even last minute had to extend my boarding and she was able to do so with no issue. I know Bear is in good hands whenever he’s with Maria!”
“Cary is amazing. I was updated daily with pictures and my dogs look so happy ! I was a nervous wreck leaving them because this is the first time I’ve boarded them. But that fear is gone and I will definitely be booking again during my next getaway.”
“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”
“Janet was awesome in taking care of our furry baby Panda. she has obviously taken care of a lot of pets over the years and she updated us regularly with photos and videos. We would gladly leave Panda in her care again as the need arises.”
“I could not have felt more comfortable leaving my dog with Katalina and her husband. They seem to love hosting pups, they have a great set up in their home, and my dog was very well taken care of.”
“It was the first time Oso stayed with someone who wasn’t family member. Kyla kept me update with pics and videos. Oso was happy and well take care”
“Kyla was super attentive to kash. I know he can be a handful at times but her patience was amazing. She communicated with me & sent pictures & videos while I went on my cruise. I was gone a week but she made everything feel super comfortable. Will be booking again !”
“Highly recommend working with Susan, she’s amazing! Susan was quick to respond & had great communications throughout the stay. She was flexible in terms of pick-up & drop-off and took great care of our pup, Sawbones. She went above & beyond, ensuring Sawbones was well taken care of. She even sent him home with a homemade bandana with his name on it!”
“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Katherine and her beautiful family! Oliver seemed quite at home there. We typically have angst when leaving Oliver with the big doggie daycare chains, especially for several days. A home environment where there are people who care, interact, play and walk our pup puts us much more at ease.”
“Tabitha kept my fur baby for 6 days while we were on vacation. She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, he had other fur babies to play with and she took him on lots of walks. He loves his walkies. I will definitely use Tabitha again.”
“Shirley has taken care of Ripley several times, and she has formed a genuine relationship with our little boy. The photos she sends every day as well as her comments show that Ripley enjoys staying with her. We have full trust and confidence in Shirley as the best person for Ripley when we are out of town. She cares for him and his well-being, physically and emotionally. Thank you, Shirley! Dagmar and Mohsin”
“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I was so nervous but Michael and Joana assured me they had experience with dogs with separation anxiety. The pictures and updates they sent me helped reassure me that Lucky was in good hands. I will definitely book again!”
“Tim was great! He was very communicative about Norbert’s stay and Norb seemed to enjoy his time very much! He went to work with Tim, they took lots of fun walks and played with his toys with him. Would definitely rebook!”
“Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest View
Had a meet and greet with Cary and her daughter. Juno immediately leaned into her daughter which was a good sign (picked her person). Cary carefully introduced her to her dog and explained how she would care for Juno. I had to make several changes and Cary was very understanding and accommodating which was a stress reliever for me. I picked up Juno and she was so happy to see me unlike my previous experience with another sitter where Juno appeared to be mad at me (lol). Well Juno has been on the couch resting so I know she had a good time otherwise she wouldn’t be so tired. Cary responded to my text and sent video of Juno. Oh and Juno smelled so good and looked good when I picked her up. I felt that Juno was well taken care of. Thank you Cary (and fam) will definitely be using Cary again!
Jasmin & her pup, Andy, were our dog’s dream come true. Peach was showered with love, play with Andy, time in the beautiful yard, and plenty of walking. Delightful pics and videos were sent daily. Truly the highest quality sitters on the Rover market. Thank you to Jasmin & family!
This was my first time having my dog stay with anyone not family. He immediately got along with Robert and was not anxious. When I picked him up, still upbeat attitude and no signs of distress. I could even hear him barking when I was walking towards the door on pickup day, which means he already considered Robert's place like home and was scaring off strangers 👍🏾. Robert was really easy to talk and coordinate with. He sent me photos if requested. He took the necessary precautions we discussed for my dog-aggressive dog, and didn't seem uncomfortable at any point.
Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
Michelle was prompt in communicating whenever something came up with Bramble that she needed clarification on. She was quick to respond for all the administrative arranging also. She was easy-going and calm. Bramble seemed comfortable being with her. I got daily photos to enjoy. I believe people would be very satisfied and secure leaving their pet with Michelle. I was!
Athena is BEYOND WONDERFUL. I was driving into Chicago from out of town, only about 90 minutes away from dropping my pups off with their original sitter when he had to cancel. Immediately, I went into solution mode, scrambling to find someone to care for my three babies. Athena responded promptly and swooped in to help on extremely short notice. Athena was trustworthy, sent lots of photo updates, and my pups took to her right away. They clearly enjoyed exploring her fenced backyard and seemed completely comfortable in her care. When I picked them up, we talked for quite a while, and I was so grateful that she answered the call when I needed help. She is truly a kind soul with a sweet spirit, and I genuinely feel like God placed her on our path. She is so loving and treats my babies like they are on vacation; I call her home Disney World! 🤣
Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!

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 Forest View 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 Forest View.
<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 Forest View 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.
