“My dog absolutely loved her time with Trish. I got many updates and pictures. I knew without a doubt my dog was being loved and taken care of while I was away. She was very flexible and understanding when we had a change of plans that delayed our return home by a few hours as well. I highly recommend her. My dog can’t wait to have a play date with her pups someday soon!”
“Diana and Brian take very good care of Piper. We can see she is always excited to stay with them and their pups which are her BFFs. So lucky to have found wonderful sitters.”
“We are so thankful for Freya’s care this week!! It’s is so comforting to know he was happy and taken care of while we were having a construction project going on in our home. Brody would have been completely stressed, but instead our guy found a home away from home. ❤️”
About: Hi! We’re a couple who genuinely love dogs. We’ve also spent plenty of time looking after our family members’ pets, so we know how much they become part of the family. We both work in healthcare, so we’re used to being patient, responsible, and paying attention to the little things. We know every dog has their own personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. We’re excited to meet some new furry friends, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs, or just keeping them company. 🐶❤️ We both work full-time in a hospital, so our schedules vary, but we’re upfront about our availability and only accept bookings we can commit to. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! We live in a clean, cozy first-floor apartment with a safe and welcoming environment for pets. We’ll keep a close eye on your fur baby, follow their routine, and give them plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime. ❤️
“Our experience leaving our dog Marshmallow with Adam was absolutely amazing! He was really responsive and easy to talk to and was even flexible when we had to change our plans. He took really amazing care of Marshmallow, provided great photos + updates, and it sounds like she had a great time while staying with Adam. Will definitely be asking Adam to watch Marshmallow again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a loving, caring place to leave their pets while they're away. Thanks Adam!”
“Liz was a fantastic sitter! She sent us pictures daily and I knew our Parker was having her own mini vacation. She loved playing with their dog Luna and got plenty of love and snuggles.”
“Susan was great with our pup Ernie! She was communicative and kept us updated with pics and messages. He was well cared for with lots of pets and snuggles to ease his natural anxiousness at being in a new home. Thank you Susan!”
“They loved on my dogs. I have one very active dog that was able to play with their dog Winnie a lot and I have one that is more chill and she just laid around and got spoiled. Already have another sleepover scheduled.”
“My multipoo stayed with Eric over the weekend. Eric sent a photo daily and was always quick to respond to questions. My dog returned home healthy and happy. I highly recommend Eric for boarding! Jan”
“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“New dog mom and first time Rover user and so so happy that my first connection was Beth! From the start of the conversation through booking she was so helpful and really put my mind at ease!! Canon loved his time with Beth and her family!! Beth provided daily updates and pictures which we loved seeing. Between Beth, her kids and her dog Rai, Canon got lots of love and attention!! And plenty of running around. Boy slept so good the night we picked him up. We would highly recommend Beth and would definitely use her again!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Valley
Wonderful experience! This was our first time using a dog sitter, and John and his family made the entire process completely stress free. They kept me updated throughout the day, took great care of our dog, and there were no issues at all. I would definitely recommend John to any pet owner.
I was very pleased with leaving Yoshi & Stella in Giedre's care. I have often seen them tired and drained of energy once they get home from being away for a few days. However, they were full of energy and seemed very happy when I got them back from Gieder's house. I highly recommend her for taking care of your dogs!
This is the second time our boy Simba stayed with Valerie. Like the first time, Valerie took great care of Simba, walking him daily, letting him play with Luna her own dog, allowing him on her furniture and even her own bed! She always made Simba felt like at his own home, cozy and comfortable! Thank you so much Valerie for your help, and thank you for taking our last minute request!!!
This is our fur babies second time staying with Trish. She is absolutely amazing with them. She stays connected with us each day with picture updates. They seem to love her and her two dogs. They were very excited to see her. Nice to know someone actually pays attention to your pups and not just sit them lol. Thanks Trish! And thank you for the brushing ☺️
I am very happy with my dog Benny's stay with Lizzie! She took wonderful care of my dog for several hours, and when I picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. It was clear that he had a great time and was well cared for. I would definitely rebook with Lizzie again when needed as well as recommend her. Thank you, Lizzie!
Valentina is great and she took very good care of Leo when I left him for a night.She updated regularly with his pics and I felt great. Her and family definitely are great and olive is cute too and I am sure Leo had fun staying at their place .I highly recommend for anyone looking for great care.
Glen was awesome in caring for our 14 yr old lab. Our pup is sensitive and doesn’t easily adjust to new routines or new people. Glen stayed overnight, made sure his routine was kept and when our pup had an accident he even cleaned it up neatly. Would definitely continue with him.
Rebecca (Zhiyang) took amazing care of Lily while we were away. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving Lily in her care. She kept us updated with messages, photos, and videos, and it was clear that Lily was happy, relaxed, and well loved. Rebecca is kind, responsible, and truly understands dogs, especially senior dogs. Lily came home happy and comfortable, and we could tell she had a wonderful time. We are incredibly grateful for the love and attention she gave Lily. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would be thrilled to have her watch Lily again in the future!

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.
95% of sitters in Fox Valley 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 Fox Valley 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 Fox Valley.
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 Fox Valley. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Fox Valley 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.
