“Kelly and her family take great care of my dog and even sends me pictures! My little guy is 18 but still very active and I don’t worry about him at all when he’s with them!”
“Nicole was very accommodating. She made us feel very comfortable with our dog staying with her. She was readily available when we contacted her before the weekend stay and during.”
“Christina was amazing! Rosie had so much fun during her stay and enjoyed playing with all of the dogs! She came home and passed out which means she enjoyed herself to the fullest.”
“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had a dog for 8 years and am considering adopting a sibling. This will be a great way to not only find some wonderful new doggy friends and families but to also acclimate my dog to having another dog in the house. I have a large fenced in yard and am home on weekends so my dog and I would welcome some company! I work full time during the week and am in the office 3 days so I work from home on Fridays and have weekends free! I have a fenced in yard and friendly dog who would love some company. I do also have a crate so can crate your pup as well or they can sleep in a bed, on the couch, wherever they are comfortable!
About: Hi, thank you so much for stopping by to read through my profile. I have loved and taken care of friend’s and family’s dogs for years. Big, small, medium, even tempered, wild, mellow- I absolutely love them all. I have a 12 year old lab, who has slowed down a lot. She is my everything. I find something about raising a dog from a young pup to an aging one, so very special and rewarding. If your dog is fast paced or likes to smell every blade of grass, I’m game. Rain, shine, or snow, I’m available. I’d absolutely appreciate it if you gave me the opportunity to spoil your dog, not just walk or watch. I understand these are your babies. My house is set up well with a fenced in back yard and lots of attention and love offered. Let me know what questions or concerns you might have! I work Monday-Friday, I am usually free in the evenings and off on Thursdays typically. I’m free on most holidays(so keep that in mind).** I am free on most weekends. ** My job is flexible, 12 mins away, making it easy to drop by my house throughout the day. My house is open and I have a great fenced in area. Your dog will be spoiled rotten over here. Lots of pets and attention. I also know how important a walk is to a dog, it’s the highlight of their day! We’d make the most of it.
About: I have had cats & dogs since I was a child. Now I have a cat who loves dogs and neighbors bring their dogs over to see how they react to a cat. I am a retired vet with nothing but time to worship animals. I visit the dog park even though I dont have a dog & carry treat in case I meet a dog I have a yard with a fence, two bedrooms & a comfy couch all are welcome on. I live near a dog park & several parks for roaming.
“Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!”
About: I have had pets in my life for as long as I've been breathing. I learned to take my first steps holding our rat terrier, Missy's, tail. There are no bad breeds. I love all animals, even the ones that don't love me lol. I promise to treat your little friend like they are my child. I also spent the last two years in the pet care industry. Boarding, grooming, training, and daycare. I am trained well enough in grooming to give haircuts if needed, we can discuss pricing 💜 I also have experience with farm animals. Goats, horses, chickens, pigs. I'm comfortable with most pets, so sorry if you have snakes though. I adjust my prices based on your needs so don't be afraid to talk to me about rates! Working part time 8:30-4:30 on weekdays. I do prefer check-in style visits and really looking to groom more, but still available for housesitting when needed. I do offer care in my own home for smaller/medium pets (must get along with cats) and am adept at following whatever instructions I am given. With my work history I am very used to elderly and disabled pets as well. I am more than happy to walk two small-medium dogs at once, but if your dogs are considered large or giant I would ask to walk them separately, for everyone's safety.
About: I have cats and dogs my entire life and have multiple in my own home. They’re safe with me :) I promise to update you as needed. I am a 5th grade teacher and currently on summer break! I do work part time in the evenings and some mornings on the weekends. Let me get in some exercise in with your pups! I promise to love your babies as my own! I will respect your home/your pet as I would like my own respected. I am trustworthy and will provide the best care I possibly can!
“We can’t say enough good things about Ashley’s care and attention and role the whole family plays in taking care of our Baxter. We got photos frequently and assuring messages while we were away. I’m not surf Baxter was ready to come home. Ten out of five stars!”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Marieta and her family were wonderful! She did a pre-visit to put us at ease and was so loving to our dog. She regularly sent updates with pictures and was super easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!!”
“We are very grateful for Melissa taking care of our Belle for a full week. I know she can be a handful but really likes her stays. We are glad we found Melissa and someone who genuinely cares for animals.”
“This was our first experience using Rover, and Sarah made it easy! She was very thorough and made sure to provide frequent updates and pictures. Winston seemed to have a great time! Would definitely use again.”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Glen Carbon sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Glen Carbon landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Glen Carbon 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 Glen Carbon.
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 Glen Carbon 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.
