“Leah was absolutely fantastic! My dog wasn't just looked after - he was loved. You can feel her heart for animals the moment she walks in, and it shows in every detail. Thank you Leah for treating Nugget like family.”
“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.”
“It was a big relief to find hosts willing to take my Sadie in when we were going on vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was a little concerned because I'd never left my pup with anyone prior to this experience. I was provided picture updates and when I called to check on Sadie, they let me know that she was doing ok. I felt this was a very positive experience and Sadie seemed really happy to have other pups around that she could socialize with. My Sadie seemed to especially connect with the hosts female black lab named Kimber who was about the same age as she, 3 yrs old. I would certainly recommend boarding your pet with this family.”
“Ms. Ebony kept in contact with me throughout the process, she also made sure she said good morning and goodnight. My fur baby seemed like she really enjoyed herself, i HIGHLY recommend her.”
“I am totally happy about Molly’s stay with Laronna. Laronna and her parents cared for Molly like she was their own. Laronna sent me pictures and information about Molly every day, which helped me relax and not worry about her. Also, I’m sure Molly enjoyed being with Laronna’s sweet little dog and having a nice backyard to use. Molly looked beautiful and happy when I picked her up. I highly recommend Laronna to anyone who needs someone to look after their fur baby.”
“Sarah was very good with my two dogs, one a beagle and one a Corgi mix. I received pictures frequently of my dogs sleeping on her couch as well as in her yard. I will be using her again!”
“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!”
“This was our 1st time using Rover and was a little nervous leaving my baby with someone i didnt know. My pup had a wonderful time, received updates and photos which helped keep my mind at ease. She was well taken care of and got to hav a vacation with other pups while we were gone. Will definitely recommend Shannon and will use her again in the future. Thank u again”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Tami is incredible!! This is my first time leaving my puppy and I was really nervous. We did a meet and greet, talked through his care and had him meet the other dogs. She took great care of Haze and sent updates throughout the weekend (which I loved). He couldn’t have been in better hands. 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Linda and Dwight were amazing! I left my two dogs with them for a week and all throughout I received constant updates and pictures. Great peace of mind while I was away knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend them as sitters!”
“Jennifer’s place is like a home away from home for my furbaby. She gets super excited every time we approach the street and she has a blast on every visit. Jennifer’s love for dogs really shines through.”
“Teresa was wonderful. Kind and thoughtful to make sure our Maggie had a good time. Even a new friend in Snickers. Perfect experience. Thank you Teresa. Will reach out again.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with Raina and the incredible care she provided for my two dogs. We had to leave suddenly for a family emergency, and she was so quick to respond and incredibly accommodating—allowing us to drop them off on our way to the airport without any stress. She made my dogs feel so loved and comfortable while we were away, which meant everything to us during such a difficult time. She also sent tons of videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and in great hands. I truly can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Always excellent care with Kelly and her family! Our Pug, Lizzi considers this her home away from home when we go on vacation. She gets so excited when we pull in their driveway… or even mention their names! We are always confident leaving her and have never had a concern in dozens of stays over the last several years!”
“Francie and her daughter are wonderful! She was able to take my dog last minute. Ella was well taken care of, loved and happy. You can tell that Francie is definitely a dog person! She provided many photos and updates daily. I think Ella had just as much fun on her vacation as we did! It was a relief to know she was being taken care of and also able to play with other dogs and people. A kennel would have charged me so much money and she’d be stuck in a 3x3 room all day and night. This was a much, much better option! Thank you so much for taking care of our girl. She came home happy and worn out!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Godfrey
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.

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.
92% of Godfrey 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 Godfrey 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 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.
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.
