“Soojin is an amazing doggy sitter! My pup Toby loved her so much, the next time I brought him to stay with her he was practically jumping out of the car window to jump in her arms. She truly loves dogs and caring for them and will treat your pup as if it's her own. 10/10! Will absolutely bring Toby back to stay with her when I need a sitter.”
“Noor and her family took such good care of our dog. She came home healthy and happy. Noor sent us photos frequently while we were gone. We highly recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience! Bingo is a shy and cautious dog, but she made him feel comfortable and took such great care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us his photos and videos, and was always easy to communicate with, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Bingo was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!!”
“Byron and Martha were great with my dogs , they kept me updated and provided me with pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate the wonderful care that they give , I would recommend as many people to book asap !!!”
“Dotty had a great time with Mike and his wife. He really kept me up to date on her stay. She spent time napping on the couch and playing with the other dogs. I think Trouble was her favorite. I wouldn't have her stay with anybody else from now on. We absolutely recommend.”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“They pretty much slept all the way home!!! Zeus was VERY happy to be with me again and ate immediately when food was put before him. Apollo wasn’t as whiny and also went back to normal. Zeus is the “problem child” and just wanted to be as close to me as possible. Happy that Cory made every effort possible to get him to eat and chilax as much as possible. Highly recommend this location and team.”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”
“I just picked up my dog from a 12-day stay with Bob. This was our second time using him & both times everything seemed to go really well. Bingo had a great time playing with other dogs; I received numerous videos so I could see how much fun he was having, how many chin rubs he got, & even where he liked to snooze. Bob seems to have a way with dogs.”
“We booked Olga for the second time to take care of our Tofu, and once again, she did an amazing job! She truly takes care of Tofu like he’s her own. We really appreciate how she keeps us updated throughout his stay and always sends us pictures, which gives us peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter! 😊”
“Sonya was great with my Havanese Chewie! The past dog sitters we've tried Chewie seemed really stress out afterwards. But not with Sonya! He seemed very comfortable with her and loved her kids. Happy to have found someone that works well with my dog and look forward to having her watch him in the future.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”
“I could not be happier with the care and attention Joerg and Lake provided Dublin. He had a few fun days playing with their pup Lizzie as well as going in walks providing playtime and cuddles.”
“From the first moment our dog Gali stepped into Mark and Lorie’s house she seemed very comfortable. Gali stayed at their house for two weeks and Lorie made sure to send me updates and pictures. Gali looked happy which put me at ease. After picking up Gali we found her in good health and cheerful as usual. She seemed to have a great time. Thanks for everything!”
“So happy we found Diane! Our girl was very happy staying with her and we could relax knowing she was well cared for. Diane’s house is very clean and well set up and she has a nice enclosed yard. Diane was always quick with responses and sent photos. We will definitely use her again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Saga. I appreciated all the pictures you shared, it let me know that she was really enjoying herself! It is truly a comfort having such wonderful caretakers available when I have had to be out of town.”
“Great experience start to finish! Took care of our dog very well and provided daily updates with many photos. We will definitely be trust Balaji with our dog again!”
“Bochok my dog, was in good hands with Merrick. He's happy and was well taken care of. They would always give me updates and send me picture. I didn't encounter any problems with booking with them. Will surely avail their service again.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Sheridan
My dogs were so well taken care of by Gvido and family! They have a fantastic, fully fenced yard that my dogs loved to explore. They also took my dogs on daily walks in the nearby forest preserve. It made me so happy that my dogs were so happy while we were out of town!
Soojin went above and beyond in caring for our dog. She and her young children loved having him with them, and spoiled him with attention, love, and accommodation. Many updates, pics and videos were sent our way during our time away, and there was always quick communication. Our dog Ollie loved playing in their fenced in backyard. We hope to book with them again someday!

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 Fort Sheridan 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 Fort Sheridan.
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.
You and your Fort Sheridan 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.
