“Dexter was well cared for at Jessica’s. She discovered he had an ear infection and cleaned out his ear a bit and let me know. I appreciated this. Dexter was miserable because of his ear so he didn’t really play or anything but I know he was safe and his needs were handled. My only critique is that I had to ask how he was to get the info (including about his ear) and I prefer when the sitter reaches out to tell me if something is amiss. FYI: Dexter went to the vet the day after we got back and has antibiotics now. :)”
“Beatrice was an absolutely amazing host for my little Yorkie girl! She asked questions to prepare for the visit, offered to meet at my home if needed. She was flexible with dates and times. Her home is immaculate. Yard fenced. Her communication prompt. I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker for my Yorkie. Will work w Beatrice for future needs. She cares about her guests. She is a sweet lady! Highly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. There is a stay at home parent who can provide daily care for your pet. And a family who will be there to provide plenty of attention and love. We have a large yard with plenty of trees and a spacious home for your pet to explore. Your preference of crate or bed or couch is ok with us.
“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!”
“We were in town from out of state and couldn’t have been more thankful for Kendall & her family! They took incredible care of our two German short haired pointers. It’s clear that Kendall is a true dog lover!”
“Glen took great care of our pup Jax while we were gone on a 10 day trip. The photos he sent gave us reassurance that Jax was enjoying his time and going on great walks out in the snow. Jax, who can be a little selective of his playmates, even seemed to get along with his pup Hope. We’d happily use Glen again for boarding.”
“Darrilyn was so sweet with our pup, sent photos and updates and was responsive from the time we booked the job, had a meet n greet prior to the start date, and at pick up! We could tell our pup was well loved! Extreme gratitude and thanks to you!!”
“Freya was fabulous and open with communication about our pet. They constantly sent us pics and updates on the status of our Waffle. I feel they went the extra mile on caring for our baby. This was my first experience using this app and now I am willing to keep using it! Thank you Freya!!”
“Leaving Beau with Hannah gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was so well cared for and came home happy and tuckered out. Amazing communication and a truly wonderful environment. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Thanks Liz for watching Beau and for being flexible with the wintry weather. We are glad that we found you! It was hard to leave our pet at Christmas time, but we felt comfortable with him in your care.”
“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”
“Linda and her family took care of our two senior dogs for over a week. She communicated how they were doing often - including lots of photos! She had no problems with all their meds - and they have quite a few! We highly recommend her!”
“We were away for 2 nights. All good with Dawn. Very happy. My only critique is with Rover, regarding the fact that they don't require proof of current vaccinations and confirmation that pets are in good health upon arrival. That's a flaw and puts care providers at risk. Thanks Dawn”
“Brian took care of my 6 month old puppy over Labor Day weekend. He sent pictures of her playing and going on walks. She was allowed to snuggle in bed and make herself at home. I would definitely use him in the future to care for our fur baby. Thank you Brian!”
“Ingrida was delightful to work with. Our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away on vacation. We'll use her services again in the future for sure. A+++”
“Very nice and accommodating for our needs! We had our dog undergoing treatment requiring special attention and medication. She handled everything without a problem as well as gave photo updates throughout the stay. We also got delayed in our travel back and she adjusted to our timeline no issues and was understanding. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Valley
This was our first time boarding our fur baby for longer than just a weekend trip. Pallvi and her family took excellent care of Bodhi, sending pictures and videos often! We were definitely nervous at first but she put as at ease quickly, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that he was comfortable and happy. Will definitely rebook with Pallvi next time we go out of town.
Milou had an amazing time with Mike and Mary. They sent plenty of pictures, took her on her long walks, and stayed in communication the whole time. I had a wonky pick-up and drop-off schedule to which they were very accommodating so that was very much appreciated and helped simplify final trip details.
Giedre was wonderful with Marlowe! She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and messages, and Marlowe was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She loved playing with Giedre’s Goldendoodles and came home tired and content. I would absolutely book with her again.
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!
Colleen took great care of my dog, Truffle, over the weekend and I had a wonderful experience. She was excellent with communication, very responsive, and kept me updated with regular pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Truffle was happy and well cared for. I was very happy with her service and would absolutely love to use her again in the future!
Rick and his family took amazing care of my German Shepherd, Arlo, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were attentive, reliable, and clearly love what they do. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos, they gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Arlo was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Rick made it feel effortless. I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters.

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 Fox Valley 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 Fox Valley.
<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 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 , 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.
