“Leanne was absolutely amazing with our two dogs for the holiday weekend. She was very communicative and so great with letting them run around d and enjoy their home.”
“Cheyenne and her husband are fantastic! I got pictures of my pups enjoying their time and snuggling with Cheyanne's pups. They made sure my boys got their medications and helped treat a hot spot on one of my dog's paws that he had before coming to their house. My boys were super excited to see Cheyanne and danced their way to her and her husband when we got there. I will definitely use Cheyanne and her husband when I need to in the future.”
“Pepper was well cared for and Katie was super patient with his reclusive behavior in a new environment. Very communicative throughout the whole stay. Would definitely book again!”
“"Brandon was very good with our dog, who is large and can have high energy. He asked for any specific care details and provided brief updates throughout our trip. He kindly accommodated an extra day for us on short notice when we had to delay travel due to inclement weather. Would recommend! We will definitely use Brandon again in the future, Moto had a great time!"”
“Timothy is an excellent Rover sitter! He boarded our dog at his house for 9 nights. I like that he had us do a meet and greet first to ensure our dog would be a good fit. This was our first time using a sitter and I was nervous at first, but Timothy had great communication and I really appreciated the regular updates and great pictures. Our dog did well socializing and playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be booking with Timothy again!”
“Camille was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Luna. I truly appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was throughout the entire experience. Initially, we had planned for dog boarding, but when that didn’t work out, Camille quickly adapted and switched to in-home visits. She even made an effort to try crate options beforehand, which showed how committed she was to finding the best solution for Luna. This was a last-minute booking, and Camille was incredibly understanding—even adjusting the dates just one day before the scheduled drop-off. Her flexibility really helped reduce a lot of stress. During her visits, she kept me updated by sending videos and clearly spent quality time playing with Luna. It was very reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Luna was in her hands. Overall, Camille went above and beyond, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter.”
“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!”
“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 😊”
“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..”
“Rachel did an amazing job keeping me informed about Marty throughout the time I was gone and really made me feel comfortable being away from him. I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog-sitter!”
“Stacy is truly the best dog sitter I've ever known. She has a genuine love for dogs and a beautiful, clean home with a big backyard where they have plenty of room to play. DogVacay was created with dog sitters like Stacy in mind. I am so happy I found her to care for my dog. I can tell Ellie has so much fun with the daily pictures Stacy sends and wth how worn out she is when she comes home. I swear she feels like she's on vacation too. I highly recommend Stacy!”
“Nicole did a phenomenal job with our dog, Flash. He has a lot of anxiety, but Nicole managed to make him feel comfortable and let him adjust on his own time. I will definitely have her baby sit Flash in the future!”
“Felipe took great care of Frostie, proactively reaching out for details on feeding, daily schedule and medications. He is great on communication and sent daily check in messages with photos that was very helpful to feel comfortable even during being away for a longer period of time. Highly recommend Felipe!”
“Carolina and her family took wonderful care of our two pups for a 3 night stay. She provided pictures and updates daily. Quick to respond to all communication. Pups were happy and healthy when we picked them up at the end of their stay. Very happy with care and will use her again! Thank you!”
“Thanks to Barbara and Steve we were able to enjoy our vacation. They loved and cared for our fur babies in their lovely home. Good communication, they sent us photos and videos We will be using them again, Thank you so much”
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.
“Lauren was incredibly friendly and took great care of Comet. He seemed to really enjoy his stay and came back happy. Thank you Lauren for being so flexible and for watching Comet!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katie. She took amazing care of our dog during our 10 day vacation. She kept us updated daily including photos, and she was flexible and easy to communicate with. We had great peace of mind and enjoyed our trip, knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. We will definitely use Katie the next time we need a dog sitter!”

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.
