About: Say goodbye to worries when leaving your pet behind. Picture your fur baby enjoying daily playtime, meals, cozy naps, and daily walks around the neighborhood from a playful dog lover, sitter, and friend. 🐶❤️ I currently work from home on a hybrid so I’ll have plenty of flexibility to play with your fur babies! I am also available for doggy daycare daily! I have a small dog park in my apartment which provides a fun space to meet and play with other doggies! I also have experience potty training pups!
“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”
“Brittany was very easy to work with and kept me updated with pictures while I was away. Her sweet pups wore my little one out with all the playing they were doing! I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Elizabeth took such great care of Finley! She wrapped her up in a blanket when she noticed Finley getting scared of a thunderstorm. Her dog Lorax was also so sweet. They have a lovely home with a nice backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Alex and her family were absolutely fantastic, she went above and beyond to accommodate my dogs needs. She gave daily pictures and updates and great communication leading up to the stay. I will 💯use her again”
“Nicole and Tim were absolutely great! Good communicators and sent photos and updates throughout our dogs stay. She can be a little particular but settled in immediately and it felt like she got her own vacation while we were on ours. Will definitely book them again!”
“Kaleigh and Evan were great. They asked lots of questions, made a welcoming space for our dogs, and sent daily pictures. They eased our concerns and made me feel comfortable about leaving our four legged family members with someone else.”
“This is the third time we have left our dog with Paula and she is always wonderful with him! She is kind and I trust her with our “baby” completely! She sends us pictures and doesn’t hesitate to reach out if she has a question or concern!”
About: Hi! My name is Darius and I truly love being around animals. I don't have any right now, but I've had pets almost my entire life including a yorkie, two pomeranians, three cocker spaniels, a foster kitten, and a German shepherd. I used to live with two adult cats, but my ex got them in the breakup sadly. Fortunately, I've got another friend with older cats that lets me check on them when she's away. More recently, I've been the go-to pet sitter for my friends because I have a big house with a fenced in yard and a lot of squirrels to yap at. Long story short, I just want your baby to feel loved and taken care of while they're away from home. I'll be with them most of the day because I typically work from home. As long as they don't mind chilling around the house, walking around my beautiful neighborhood, or chiming in on the occasional business call, we'll get along great. Like I mentioned, 99% of the time I work from home M-F. I might occasionally go into the office but only for a 2-4 hours max. Three days a week I go to the gym for an hour but for the most part I'll be working, chilling at the house, or outside exploring the neighborhood with my new furry friend. I like to curate a calm, peaceful environment that's full of love for your pet to feel relaxed and at ease during their stay.
“Christopher was amazing with Jet and Maverick. He took a last minute booking which was great for us as we were only passing through St. Louis and needed the boys to be boarded for the night. He even brushed my dogs at my request. Both of the boys were happy when we picked them up.”
About: I’ve had a dog of my own and have always loved animals. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from a young puppy through their senior years, and I’ve also looked after a household with three dogs. I take time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, follow their care instructions closely, and use a gentle but confident approach. Whether it’s keeping a puppy engaged or giving an older dog patient, attentive care, I want every pup to feel happy, comfortable, and well loved. I’m a medical student, an animal lover, and a caring, dependable sitter who will go above and beyond to help your pet feel safe and loved. I’ve had a dog of my own and understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet. My school schedule can vary, so please reach out with the dates and times you need. I can often make walks, drop-ins, or an overnight stay work. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, keep you updated, and give them plenty of attention and affection. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I’ll follow your care instructions and keep your dog secure during walks and visits. Please share any safety concerns, special needs, or behavior details ahead of time. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos, and I’ll bring extra pet supplies in case they’re needed.
“Jordan was amazing with my dog! She sent frequent picture updates, which I really appreciated, and my dog looked so happy the entire time. She honestly didn’t even want to leave her place. I’d absolutely book with her again.”

Holly did an amazing job watching our two dogs! She was attentive, communicative, and treated them like her own. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and we felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care. Our pups came back happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Holly and would absolutely book with her again!

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
