“Higgins loved his time with Carolyn. She is amazing and took great care of our boy. from frequent walks, daily updates and lots of pictures she keeps in close contact during the stay. We found a gem!!!”

“Cheryl and Jim were great! Bear came back home and hasn't shown one sign of boarding adjustment. Cheryl also sent daily messages on how Bear was doing and some pictures showing him relaxed and happy, which was of great comfort to me. I will definitely use them again!”

About: “I have years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From puppies full of energy to senior dogs needing gentle attention, I provide safe, reliable, and loving care. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet parents can count on me to be responsible, punctual, and attentive to their dog’s unique needs. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate to caring for pets. Your furry friend will always be my first priority. I love spending time walking, playing, and making sure they feel happy and loved. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting during the day. I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first with me. I care for pets in their own home so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or house sitting, I’ll follow your pet’s routine and give them all the love and attention they deserve. You can count on me to treat your fur baby like family every time.
“Emily and family treated our Briggs like their own. They went on walks, cozied up by the fire and had a sleepover in the living room because he can’t get up stairs very well. I was sent pictures and he looked happy and content! We will be sure to give Emily a call next time we need someone to watch Briggs!”

“Once again, Derek and his family took wonderful care of my dog Bear while we were on vacation. He and his family treat him like part of their family, and that’s what really matters to us. Thank you so much, Derek.”

“Julia was absolutely a dream! She took such incredible care of our Weimaraner, Mozzie. Great communication, great photos and she made sure he had his own vacation while we were away! 10/10 and will rebook again!”


“I have boarded my two dog several times with Stacy and both times they seem to have a blast! She has a big yard for them to play and is good about sending updates daily with pics.”

“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Carla and her family were such a great match for our two dogs. Our 2 girls came home happy & tired. The dogs got even more love, attention and exercise than normal and Carla gave me so many updates while I was away. As a pet parent we will 100% be using her again as it was one of the best experiences we've had and we had the best piece of mind while we were gone.”

“I feel like we have found a diamond in the rough. Jacqueline, Kris and Bella are so kind and truly are dog lovers. We received updates with pictures during Piper's stay. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Piper to run and sniff. Cannot say enough positive remarks regarding the excellent care Piper received. We highly recommend Jacqueline's family for daycare or boarding, and will be boarding again in the future!”

“This was our first time our Goldendoodle (80lbs) stayed with her and her dog. They played well and she took great care of him. We appreciate Niratcha sending us daily pictures in the morning and night to see how Kipper was doing. Happy with her and we just rebooked with her. Thank you.”

“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”

“Jacqueline and Uriel loved my dog just like she was their own. I really appreciated the photos and videos throughout her time with them! I highly recommend and will visit again!”

“Wonderful Senior Dog Sitting Experience with Beth. We recently hired Beth to dog-sit our two senior dogs. We were truly grateful for her outstanding care. From the moment we initially reached out to her, Beth was kind, attentive, and displayed a genuine love for animals that immediately put us at ease. Given their advanced age, they require very specific care, taking meds, no jumping or stairs, old and set in their ways. Florida pups who hate cold, not wanting to go outside. She followed all of our instructions diligently, ensuring that our dogs' routines and schedules were maintained. Not only did she provide regular updates and photos of our little bears, but she also went above and beyond to engage them and make it a fun experience for them. Upon our return, Char & Hen were visibly happy and content, they wandered happily around her beautiful home as if it was theirs, while we gathered their things, not anxious to leave. Which is a testament to the wonderful care they received from Beth. Beth's kind and nurturing approach to dog sitting truly sets her apart. She not only attended to the basic needs of our dogs and their quirks but also showered them with love and attention, making them feel comfortable and secure in her care. We are incredibly grateful for the peace of mind Beth provided us, and we will undoubtedly be reaching out to her for our future dog-sitting needs. Thank you, Beth, for a fantastic dog-sitting experience!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 500 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Garden Prairie. About 95% of Garden Prairie sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
