“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.”
“Kelly was so great with our puppy Luna. We needed care within a short notice for a long weekend and Kelly was perfect. She took Luna to a dog park, took her on walks and spent lots of time with her. She was patient with her new puppy energy and we would definitely use Kelly again. Luna was sad to leave 😊”
“Yingfie watched our two corgis for an extended amount of time and was awesome! She gave lots of updates and sent lots of pictures. The pups looked like they were having a great time. Would definitely book with Yingfei again!”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful. She would send me updates and pictures and keep me posted how my fur baby was doing. We already have our next stay booked..”
“I had a great experience with Saranya. They were communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about my pet’s well-being. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to others!”
“Katie and her family were beyond excellent! She sent daily updates and pictures of our pup having the time of his life. Great communication and flexibility. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“This is our second time using Madhu. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Marguerite and her family for our dog-sitting needs. Our dogs are like our babies, and finding someone who treats them with the same love and care that we do is priceless. Mahda and her family are incredibly caring and sweet, treating our pups like part of their own family. From the very first time we left our dogs with them, we knew they were in the best hands. They always keep us updated with photos and messages, so we never have to worry about how our fur babies are doing. The level of trust we have in them is immense, and it brings us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are happy and well-cared for when we're away. Madhu's home is truly a second home for our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with the care they receive. We will continue to rely on them for all our dog-sitting needs and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a compassionate and dedicated dog sitter. Thank you, Madhu & Bharath and family, for everything you do for our furry babies.”
“Nicole was an excellent sitter for Molly! She treated her as if she were her own dog. Molly’s tail was always up in the pictures she sent and that means she was a happy dog!”
“Lara was amazing with my pup! I accidentally scheduled for the wrong dates and she adjusted her schedule to help me. She would send pictures daily and my pup always looked so happy! She made sure Ollie got a lot of time outdoor and was able to wear off her energy. I recommend Lara to anyone who is looking to book!! 🩷”
“Sierra and Matt were great. We went out of town on a holiday weekend and they hosted our two dogs. We received text and picture updates about how they were doing while we were gone. We will definitely be using them again soon!”
About: I've been a dog and cat owner for over 20 years, so I understand that pets are more than just animals—they're family. I have also fostered multiple dogs over the years, giving me experience welcoming dogs with different personalities, backgrounds, and needs into our home. I currently have one dog and one cat of our own, and know how important it is to find someone you can trust while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys playing outside, going for walks, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like one of my own. I'm home throughout the day, allowing me to provide hourly potty breaks, regular outdoor time, meals, and plenty of attention. I'm also available to administer medications and accommodate any special care instructions or routines your pet may need. I offer a welcoming, pet-friendly home with a fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. I also have a kennel available for dogs that are crate-trained or feel more comfortable having their own space. Our household includes one dog and one cat, so it's important that visiting pets can comfortably coexist with other animals. Safety and supervision are always priorities, and I'll follow any specific feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special care requirements. I also provide regular updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“We absolutely love working with Linda & Dwight. They’ve watched our dogs multiple times now, and every stay has been fantastic. Our pups are always excited to see them and come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Communication is great — we always get the right amount of updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. They follow instructions perfectly and truly go above and beyond every time.”
“Fergie was great, very communicative and sent photos. She takes her dog on two walks a day, so I’m sure my dog was excited to join. Her dog is energetic but it didn’t see too much for my older dog to handle. I would definitely book her again.”

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.
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.
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.
