“Highly recommend using Tami to care for your pet! I was nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time but she made me feel at ease and took great care of my dog! She sent me pictures and texts to ensure me my dog was doing great!”
“We cannot begin to express how thankful we are to have found Christina and Garrett! We've never boarded our hyper, super loving, and anxiety filled pitty before and only ever done drop in visits in our own home. We wanted our girl to be able to socialize and get endless amounts of love while we were away but the anxiety/guilt we felt considering "boarding" weighed heavy on us...that is until we met Christina and Garrett!!! The initial meet and greet was extremely thorough and a control environment. Garrett even sat in the dirt with our princess to give her the love she needed to regulate while being introduced to other members. Their knowledge of training showed throughout this initial meeting. Their communication never lacked and you could see the love she received through the pictures we received daily. Our dog had so much fun, she stayed with them again for Thanksgiving! Absolutely recommend!”
“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.”
“Would 100% recommend her!! Our original dog sitter couldn't do watch them so we found her and she was so amazing. Very responsive and organized since day 1. She gave us daily updates, pictures, and videos. They were super happy when we brought them back and even gave tips on brushing our 7month sheepadoodle and types of joint supplements for our 12yr old. She is a certified trainer and knows how to take care of the dogs so we would trust her to watch them for a long vacation and not worry about their stress or safety.”
“We are extremely happy with the care our pug gets when she goes to Kelly’s! This was her fourth visit and she stayed for a week. I got a picture every day reassuring us that things were going good. She loves children, and Kelly‘s two kids are good ages to be responsible with a pet. Our dog is allowed on couches and beds, just like at home they include her just like part of the family. She is always excited to go and doesn’t look back when we drop her off.”
“Erin was so amazing our little one didn't want to come home. Great communication and went above and boyond for us. We look forward to our next trip because we know our little one will be in great hands. Thank you again!”
“Keith did a wonderful job with our samoyed Teddy when we were out of state on vacation! He sent adorable daily pictures showing he was doing well and loved by his entire family. Would definitely book again!”
“Milo had a great stay at Paula’s. She made him feel very comfortable and was also very responsive. I also got his photos while we were away. 😊 Milo will definitely return. Highly recommend Paula if you are looking for a great pet sitter.”

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.
