“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Tim and his wife are the best! I don’t trust just anyone with my pup, but when Chester stays with Tim, I don’t have a single worry! I have used Tim time and time again and couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“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!”
“Kelly is wonderful! I appreciate all the pictures and updates I get while she is watching my pup! She is very kind and treats my dog like she is part of their family.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of my pets. She sent photos of how they were doing and texted me to let me know they were okay after a bad storm passed through. I would highly recommend Sarah.”
“We booked late and it was hard to find the right fit. Francine was not only available but the perfect fit! We wanted to have other dogs around because we felt Odie would be less anxious as it was only the second time we had been apart. He had other dogs his size to play with and a very kind human to care for him. We have a happy healthy dog back.”
“Jennifer is such a great sitter! She provided daily updates with info and photos, and sometimes videos too. I knew my pup was having a fun time with her pups and I didn't need to worry about him at all! I highly recommend Jennifer!”
“Melanie was fantastic with my dog, Monty. I enjoyed receiving multiple updates and lots of photos to let me know he was doing okay. I highly recommend using Melanie.”
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“Asia was so sweet and professional. When we first arrived Asia and her fur baby Crypto welcome us. Asia made my lil boy (Biskit) feel so at home. I asked Asia to send me text, pictures, and videos, and she did just that. That really made my heart fill of joy to see pictures and videos of my lil boy(Biskit) and to know that he was well taken care of. We thank you so much Asia from the bottom of our hearts 💕 Sylvia and Antwon Dudley.”
“We were a little nervous leaving our fur babies for their very first night away from us—especially Mario, since he’s only been with us for about four months. But Melanie was amazing! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and sweet messages, letting us know how Daisy and Mario were doing. Her thoughtful communication and genuine care completely put us at ease. Of course, the pups did great with her! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Christina is great! We did a meet and greet with our dogs beforehand. She watched our energetic boxer puppy for a weekend and managed to wear her out! She sent lots of great pictures and it was clear Maisey was living her best life at Christina’s house, so much so she didn’t want to leave when we picked her up. I would definitely use Christina again.”
“Sarah and the service she offered was awesome! Sarah made sure to communicate, send daily photos, and asked questions to better serve my fur baby 🐶❤️ If needed, I will definitely book Sarah again!”
“Bryan is an awesome caregiver! My dog Bella loves Bryan and his wife so much, I was afraid she would want to stay. So much care, love and attention was given to my little lady and I no longer book her in a kennel, she goes to Bryan.???”
“Tre’Ana was a wonderful sitter for my puppy. It was extremely last minute and she was so patient and caring for my last minute trip and did an amazing job of taking care of my pup. The pictures she sent of my pup and giving me updates you can see how happy he was in her home. I highly recommend her services. With the global computer outage I was running late to pick up my puppy and she stayed up late and was incredibly patient with me. She went above and beyond for a stranger like me and for my dog which is incredibly important so I thank you Tre’Ana for being such a great care taker. I plan on using her again for my trip this week. I recommend you do the same if you want excellent professional care.”
“Sarah was AWESOME. We were gone for 9 nights. She sent pictures every day. I swear, my one dog Marla was smiling in them. She boarded one other dog while mine were there, and they looked like they were having the time of their lives! They slept for 3 days after they got home. They were exhausted but in a good way. I will definitely ask Sarah to keep my fur babies again in the future. Thanks Sarah!”
“We cannot recommend Sarah enough! From the moment she met our dog, she was patient, calm, and deeply knowledgeable. While we were away for over a week, we received daily photo updates and detailed texts that gave us total peace of mind. Our dog most definitely got more attention and pampering than she does at home:) When we came home, our pup was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. We look forward to using Sarah on our next trip! Thank you, Sarah!!”
“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!”
“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”

Alicia was wonderful. She communicated with me daily with pictures of Whiskey playing with Otis inside and outside. Alicia was flexible when we picked him up, as we were traveling with weather. We plan to use her again, as I think she enjoyed Whiskey as much as Whiskey enjoyed her.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Godfrey can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Godfrey 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 Godfrey.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Godfrey. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Godfrey 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
