“Eric and Morgan were very accommodating in taking our request last minute and having flexible pickup/drop off times. They also sent a daily check in and pictures as well, which was very much appreciated!”
“Freckles was well taken care of and we had no worries leaving him with Dave. We received pictures and updates daily and will definitely use Dave going forward when we need a sitter!”
“I have had wonderful experiences with Paula as my sitter for my 75lb boy, Jagger. She is very responsive with updates while I'm away. It has been a true comfort having someone so caring watch him while I'm away. I highly recommend her.”
“Monica was amazing! This was our first experience with using Rover and I cannot recommend Monica enough. If I could give 10 stars I would. She provided daily updates with pictures, she has a fenced yard and has room for them to play. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our two puppies were well cared for and enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Monica.”
“Amy and Pete or hands down the best Dog Sitter we have ever used through all the years that we have owned various animals. From start to finish, they made our experience away from our pets more than above and beyond. they sent numerous pictures and videos, kept us updated and truly made it feel like they loved our dogs in their home. I can’t stress enough how much I recommend them to everybody I know! Thanks for taking such amazing care of our boys! We honestly can’t wait to book another trip just for having the peace of mind knowing that they will be well taken care of.”
“Nicole and Tim do great with our dog. She ran straight up to the door on drop off and was excited to see them again! Nicole and Tim send frequent updates and pictures and we feel very comfortable that all her needs are met. Would recommend to others looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Phoenix had a great time! She promptly fell asleep as soon as she got into the car so we know she played hard! Thanks to Beth and family for taking good care of her while we were gone.”
“My pups had a great time with Jennifer. Her backyard is fenced but beware it is not very tall. My weim would have easily jumped it but Jennifer found a way to tether him and still play with the other dogs!”
“Shaina took such great care of Taz! She sent daily photos and provided frequent updates. She’s kind and welcoming and it felt like leaving Taz with a friend. Highly recommend having your doggo stay with her!”
“Elisabeth took fantastic care of our pup and was able to accomodate us on short notice. She communicated well and sent us lots of pictures and updates of our dog which were much appreciated!”
“Blake took excellent care of my extra large dog! He sent videos every day and gave him the same care he would have gotten at home! Grateful for a great place for my pup to vacation while I was on vacation!”
“Melissa is a rockstar! I don’t think our dogs even noticed we were gone! She took amazing care of our two Great Danes and sent us tons of pictures everyday! We will definitely be using Melissa again! Highly recommend her!”
“Ben took excellent care of my dog, Willa, during her four-night stay at his home. From the moment she arrived, she was instantly comfortable with him. He sent daily photo updates, showing Willa happy, relaxed, and enjoying her time. I especially appreciated that he allowed her on the furniture and even let her sleep in his bed, which made her feel right at home. Beyond being a great sitter, Ben is super chill and easy to get along with, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It’s clear he truly cares for the dogs he watches, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”
“Adolfo was a great choice for my anxious pup! He has experience managing dogs who can be a little rough during play time (which mine is) and keeps a consistent daily routine with lots of outdoor playtime and naps. He was very communicative and sent lots of videos and pics of my baby throughout her stay so I knew she was safe and having fun. The only caveat I would mention is that Adolfo may not be most suitable for dogs with complex medical needs. Mine got a bad ear infection right before my trip; she’s resistant to medication and doesn’t like strangers touching her at all, so Adolfo had a harder time getting her to take her meds multiple times a day. He did a great job in a tough situation and was open about that being a bit outside of his skill level, but it’s definitely something to consider if you have a pup that needs lots of daily meds.”
“Laura is amazing. She is gentle and patient and attentive. My dog is hyper and quirky and she found ways of putting up with his attitude for a long stay. She went the extra mile for my dog and treated him like her own. I hope Chopper can stay with Laura again! Really really superb :) thank you for everything Laura!”
“Erica took good care of our pets, Shaq (dog) and Simba (cat) during our travel. It gave us peace of mind since she updated us on the pets with pictures. Thank you Erica for your help and support, taking good care of our babies.”
“Jasmin was absolutely amazing with my Zoey! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby with her. She sent me pictures, videos, and daily updates, and I could tell Zoey was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. Zoey was so excited to meet her and settle in for her stay! Unfortunately, Zoey got sick during the visit, and Jasmin truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and willing to do whatever she could to make sure Zoey was comfortable and well cared for. Having someone care for your baby with that level of patience and compassion, especially when you're away from home, means everything. I can't recommend Jasmin enough! We already know exactly who we'll be calling for our next vacation. We officially found the perfect sitter for Zoey! ❤️🐾”
“Cynthia and Robert were amazing! We left our dog with them for an extended vacation. My dog had a lot of anxiety and was very nervous. They spent a ton of time helping my dog settle and feel at home. Highly recommend!”
“My pup loved staying a Bianca’s! She is super communicative and sent plenty of pictures. He looked so happy there! I had zero worries about my pup while he was with her. Will 100% be using her again!”

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 Fountain 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 Fountain.
<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 Fountain 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.
