“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!”
“Wow! Dave and Cindy were amazing with my pup Gunner. I had to find a sitter for a 10 day trip on a holiday weekend and it was so refreshing to know that he was in good hands the whole time. Gunner almost didn’t want to leave when I picked him up. I can’t recommend Dave and his sitting services enough. Top notch!”
“Haley is great! She sent me pictures and messages of lily every day! She is very responsive! She was always sending me updates. I recommend her 100%. I will be happy to have her again to take care of lily🥰”
“Excellent host! Arrived very early in the morning for drop-off and arrived later at night for pick-up. Accommodating. Sent updates. And took care of my pup. Thank you!”
“Zinaida was amazing. She was very flexible and accommodating for pick up and drop off. She took great care of the pups with walks and play time and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely rebook!”
“I hesitate to leave this review only because I want to keep Lorri for myself! She was so good with our dog! Winnie is blind and due to this has separation anxiety when we leave her and a little generalized anxiety in new situations. Within a day, Lorri had her wearing a cute little sweater to keep warm on walls (which Winnie refuses to wear for me), had her cuddling on the couch and even took her for walks in a store! I know Winnie was comfortable with her because she was clearly relaxed in the many photos and videos we got while we were away. Lorri is the best!”
“Blake was AMAZING! He took my same-day booking when I had to travel last minute and my usual sitter fell through 🩷 it was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving Woods with someone he didn’t know so I was nervous, but I got videos and updates throughout each day! Both me and Woods had a great experience and I’ll 100% be reaching out Blake in the future”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“Pete & Amy were literally the best! I think the only thing that could be comparable to how great they were, would be their amazing yard! My 3 fur babies got to spend the weekend with Pete & Amy and I’m not entirely sure they ever wanted to come home! Amy sent me so many pictures and updates during their stay which made me feel so much better and comfortable knowing they were being so well taken care of. We will definitely be using Amy for any and all doggy sitting needs! Couldn’t recommend them enough!”
About: I have fed, cuddled, and played with many different cats and dogs that we had from childhood until now. Pets of all kinds, have always been a part of my family and I would love to be a part of yours when you need to get away! I work from home so my schedule is flexible, accomodating mornings and evenings, which is perfect to tuck your little one in or feed them breakfast. I am available to drop in for walks, feedings, or even just socialization at your descretion. Anytime of day works for me as I can schedule around your needs.
“I can’t say enough good things about Reba, she is awesome! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her after just a short meet and greet. Her dog is very friendly and great with other dogs. Reba kept us up to date the whole time and really welcomed Louie into her home. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful to have found her!”
“Melissa sent so many pictures throughout our boys stay. I could tell they were well cared for and having a good time in her big back yard. I was worried they won’t want to come back home 🤪. She is so communicative and made sure to follow all instructions. Will definitely have my boys there again.”
“Stephanie was amazing with my giant 80 pound not very well trained ?. She sent pics and was very responsive to messages. And she’s very friendly and welcoming. If she lets me I’ll hands down use her from now on!”
“Repeat customer here! My baby and I absolutely LOVE Emily and her babies so much. Emily is truly in a league of her own. Her love for dogs is unmistakable. You can tell she isn’t doing this just for the money. She genuinely enjoys caring for them, making them feel at home, and giving them the attention, affection, and fun they deserve. Emily gives me complete peace of mind. She treats Soup like one of her own, keeps me consistently updated, and goes above and beyond to make his stay special with fun experiences and little adventures. She was also incredibly flexible and did her best to accommodate my short-notice request, which I truly appreciated. Every update shows him happy, relaxed, and clearly living his best life. At this point, I honestly feel like he has found his second home. And please don’t let Emily’s big babies intimidate you! They are incredibly sweet, gentle, friendly, and well trained. It’s obvious how much love, time, and care Emily pours into her own dogs, and she extends that same warmth and attention to every dog in her care. I truly couldn’t recommend Emily more highly. Knowing Soup is with her means I can relax and enjoy my time away without worrying, because I know he is safe, loved, and having an amazing time. The only con? Your baby might not want to come home. 😂 Soup certainly doesn’t seem to!”
“Our dog enjoyed her stay at Katie’s! Katie was attentive to her needs and her dog got along great with ours. Katie’s home is cozy and Finley enjoyed the large backyard. I hope to be able to rebook with her in the future!”
“Bia was very happy at Francie's! She sent lots of photos every day. The pick up and drop off were easy. Great communication throughout. Bia made friends and enjoyed the yard.”
“Ali is very quick with responding to my inquiries, and also flexible with schedule changes. I like that she updates me regularly and sends me pictures of my dog. Will surely book with her the next time I need her service.”
“Our Rocky loved staying with Pamela! The first photo we got showed Rocky clearly relaxed and happy. Pamela was responsive and clearly took good care of Rocky - we will be booking her again.”
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“Our two pups had a great time with Mandy and Odie. They seemed so happy and content! Mandy sent us updates and pictures throughout their stay, and I felt so at ease knowing they are in good hands.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 905 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fountain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
94% of sitters in Fountain can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, 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 Fountain.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fountain. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
