“We are so happy and grateful for Leanne! She was absolutely amazing looking after and taking care of our big boy Oakley! She sent us daily updates with photos and we can definitely tell he had such an awesome time with Leanne! Highly recommended and we can’t wait to board Oakley with her again!”
“She was amazing with my puppies always sent pictures and told me how they were doing. Took them on walks and gave them lots of love. Scheduling to already take them again. Thank you Mara”
“My dogs had another great experience with Melanie for 5 days when I went on vacation. They love it there and her other dogs. The videos and photos she sent each day of my dogs made me feel happy to see them playing and relaxing at her house. Melanie is great, and I’m so happy I found her.”
“My dogs absolutely love her and Snicker. She has the perfect yard for them to roam around with no tick or flea. Teresa watched them like a hawk making sure they don't eat anything in the yard they're not supposed to. She gives us update throughout the boarding time. She will be my default whenever we need to board our dogs going out of town.”
“Wonderful experience! Communication was excellent, and they were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. As a first-time user/booker, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our pup had a very active, fun, and happy time. We’re so pleased and would definitely book again!”
“Katie went above and beyond for our dog Levi. We got multiple photos every day with updates. We would definitely recommend Katie and would rebook with her again in the future!”
“Lydia took great care of my two kitties in an intense time of need. She kept communication strong and gave constant updates. I will definitely be booking her again when we need it.”
“Our Fur Baby Charlee, could not have had a better placed to stay than with Debbie. We knew she was in great hands and would be well taken care of. Debbie sent us many pics of Charlee and it was great to see them along with notes about how she was doing. Personally, Debbie and her husband are genuine people with very kind hearts! We will definitely have Charlee stay with Debbie when a need arises. Charlee might even have to visit occasionally to say hello as she loves Debbie and her hubby!”

“Brandon was great, treated Miles & Molly like his own, also sent daily communication and pictures, which made it much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation in the Dominican. Both dogs came home played out, in fact theyre still sleeping. We'll definitely use him again in 3 months, when we're thinking about traveling again.”
“Bryan does a great job. He took great care of Duke while I was away for a few days. He sent pictures and I always felt that Duke was safe and doing well. He is my go-to sitter.”
“Amie and her family are the most caring, compassionate and loving people! This was our first Rover experience and Amie answered ALL of my questions. We could not have imagined a better environment for our little pup. She had a blast and we will be back! Thank you Amie and Family for being so wonderful to our youngest!”
“Elisa was an amazing dog sitter for Coco! From the start, she was friendly, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. Coco can sometimes be a little shy at first, but Elisa was patient and quickly made her feel comfortable and cared for. Throughout the stay, Elisa kept me updated with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. It was clear Coco was happy, well-exercised, and getting lots of attention. When I picked her up, she was relaxed and in great spirits. I’m so grateful for the care Elisa gave Coco and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend Elisa to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Deb and her husband are so good to Cooper. He seems to fit right in with their family and pups. He also has a bit of a complicated feeding schedule and they’re great with him. I’d recommend Deb to anyone.”
“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”

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 Gilead 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 Gilead.
<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 Gilead 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.
