“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.”
“Luna came back exhausted from her 3 night boarding stay from playing with her new friends there. Everything was great and Jessica was very responsive to my messages to her during the stay. Would recommend.”
“Maria and her family were fantastic! She provided daily feedback and pics of our dog Jack. From the moment we met you could tell how much her and family love and care for dogs. They treated Jack like part of their family. I know Jack will be missing them. But we will connect again in the future! Thanks Maria!!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Sonia and Greg are wonderful!! I feel that Kuma was well taken care of while we were gone for 2 weeks. I was sent pictures of her having a great time with Sammy and kept informed about how she was doing. Sammy (such a sweet dog) seemed to be best friends with her by playing with her and cuddling up with her. She almost seems somewhat sad as though she misses him since coming home! Kuma loves people and other dogs; I didn't want to board her at a place where she would be in a cage half of the day. With Greg and Sonia, she got the love, exercise and attention that she demands;)!”
“Keith was great, our dog was well cared for and happy while he was there. He gave us updates and sent pictures as well. He is easy to work with and very responsive. We’ll be back!”
About: For over six years, I’ve been the go to sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities. I learned at a young age how important it is to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. What sets me apart is how personal I make each visit. I take time to understand what makes your pet feel secure and tailor my care to match their routine. My goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and make your time away as stress‑free as possible. I work a hybrid schedule and live in a pet and family neighborhood, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. My availability is always up to date, and I’m happy to offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits and dog walking to fit your pet’s needs. My priority is to provide exceptional care for your furry friend! I’ll keep you reassured with plenty of photo updates, ensuring your pet is safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific needs, including dietary requirements, medication, potty breaks, walks, etc.
“Absolutely amazing, my dog has stayed with and friends anx family before and usually for at least a few days she wont eat, she wont come out from under a bed, she was out and eating before the first day was up. I was absolutely stunned and so was my family. Will 100% use again for my next trip!”
“Morgan was awesome!! Communicated clearly, posted photos, and listened to/understood my specific requests with my pup’s personal needs. If you’re looking for someone that is reliable, responsible, and most importantly - trustworthy. You should reach out to Morgan!! Thank you again for taking care of Oakley while I was out of the country. I’ll absolutely be coming back again in the future!”
“Penny stayed with Matthew and Michelle for 2 weeks while we were on a trip. This was the longest time she had ever been away from home. She settled in very well into their home and we were kept updated on a regular basis which was very much appreciated. We could tell she was happy staying with them and won’t hesitate to book her next stay. Excellent care and accommodations!! Thank you so much!!!”
“Jeannie and her family were so awesome! I felt totally comfortable leaving my 2 dogs there in her care for several days. She sent daily updates with nice pictures and got back to me if I had questions. I would definitely bring my pups back!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Vanessa is great! We can tell Molly had a great time in her care!! Knowing Molly was safe, had a proper care, and enjoyed companion in Vanessa’s house while we’re on a trip give us peace of mind. We will definitely book her boarding again!!”
About: I know how to make dogs comfortable and make them feel like they’re being taken care of well. Lots of treats they get from me I am free to watch dogs a lot during each day of the week. Any time of the day works for me as well to watch them I have a fenced in yard. I keep my basement closed so no dogs can go down there. Mostly on the main floor with me.
About: Hello, I’m a mother of one, and we own a Siamese cat named Atlas. We had a dog a couple of years ago and he has since passed due to an accident and as we’re opening our hearts to the thought of a new member we’re also opening our doors to care for pets while we go on our own journey of finding our own Canine Best Friend. We reside in a a very safe- family friendly neighborhood.( Elgin, IL) Our cat; Atlas stays indoors and in his own room as he likes his privacy so there is no worries about anccidental ill encounters. Since I am a home-maker, a have a lot of time on my side. My regular routine with a toddler is very active in terms of going outside, going for walks, running etc and we wake up everyday with the same goal. “Be tired by the end of the day” 🏃🙏 Yard is UNFENCED. All dogs will be on their leash when playing in the yard. If they have an EXTENDED length leash, it’d be great for them to run around more freely!
“Courtney (and her family) are the best! Leo always has a great time and comes back to us happy. The constant communication about how he is doing is always appreciated. Thank you!”
“David and Mary were great! They sent me pictures of how my dog Pluto was doing when I dropped him off on an extended stay of 9 days. I could tell that he was loved and had a very comfortable stay with David and Mary. Would definitely book with them again.”
“Roberto and his family did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Hopper while we were on vacation for two weeks. He sent us pictures and updates every day or two. They really made Hopper part of the family (even though Hopper kept stealing all of their dog’s toys and attention). We were very happy to be able to leave Hopper in a home where he was so well cared for.”
“Peggy was great! Our dog Groot had a wonderful time. She responded quickly to our request and thankfully, was okay booking last minute. She kept us updated regularly on how he was doing to keep our minds as ease. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kim was beyond what I could have hoped and expected for my dog’s first overnight stay. She was communicative, flexible, sweet and genuinely cared for our dogs. I highly recommend working with and we will definitely be working with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Geneva
Our experience with Linda and George has been terrific. They offered to meet us ahead of our trip to make sure that we and our dog Buster were comfortable with them. They were friendly and easy to work with, made Buster very comfortable during his stay and kept up with his walks, even in the rain. We appreciated their text message updates and we would love to have them look after Buster again.
Haley was so wonderful to my little fur baby Leo. I was mostly wondering if he'd still like me when I got back! She was so caring and excercised him so well. She made sure he was well fed and watered! She made sure he was cool when it was hot out. She made sure he wasn't alone in the thunderstorms and fireworks. A true dog guardian!
Emily is amazing! This was our first time booking with Emily! I can say her home is set up lovely for her pet and our pet. She sent pictures during Bella’s stay! I love the fact that her baby and our baby were comfortable around each other with the same vibe! I will definitely book with Emily again! Thank you Emily!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
95% of sitters in Geneva 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 Geneva 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 Geneva.
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 Geneva. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Geneva 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.
