“We are so thankful to have found Melanie! We had 3 sitters that we have used prior, decline to watch Mickey because of other commitments so I searched for someone new and met Melanie. Our initial meet and greet went very well so I felt completely comfortable booking with Melanie. While we were on our trip, she sent us pictures and updates and even gave him a bath for us during his stay with her. She is wonderful and loved our little guy as if he were hers which we really appreciate!”
“I rebooked with Evan, and once again he was there for us, even with very short notice. Our travel plans changed unexpectedly and we had multiple flight delays, and Evan was incredibly flexible and accommodating through it all. I truly appreciate the care he gives Luna and the peace of mind I have knowing she is in good hands. He sends pictures, keeps me updated, and makes sure Luna is well cared for and loved. We’re so grateful for Evan and will definitely book with him again!”
“Brandon did great with Bailey! I could tell she really had fun. Met her bestyyy ZZ and was pretty bummed about going home as soon as we put her in the car😆 won’t stop whining as soon as we got home. Will definitely book brandon again! Real soon.”
“Camille was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Luna. I truly appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was throughout the entire experience. Initially, we had planned for dog boarding, but when that didn’t work out, Camille quickly adapted and switched to in-home visits. She even made an effort to try crate options beforehand, which showed how committed she was to finding the best solution for Luna. This was a last-minute booking, and Camille was incredibly understanding—even adjusting the dates just one day before the scheduled drop-off. Her flexibility really helped reduce a lot of stress. During her visits, she kept me updated by sending videos and clearly spent quality time playing with Luna. It was very reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Luna was in her hands. Overall, Camille went above and beyond, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter.”
“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!”
“Beth was a perfect fit for us! Turq warmed right up to her and they really seemed to match each other's energy. We got plenty of updates which assured us he was comfortable and happy, which we loved. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Leanne was amazing with Koda! From the start, she gave me a full tour of her home and made sure we were aligned on Koda’s needs. Her space is perfect—huge backyard for him to run around, and she sent daily photo and video updates that put me at ease. She was super transparent about her work schedule but also very flexible—she came home as needed to let him out and was home most of the time. Her child also helped care for Koda, which was a bonus since he loves kids! What really gave me peace of mind was seeing the look in Koda’s eyes and his happy tail. He was clearly loved, well-fed, and comfortable—especially impressive since it was our first time using a sitter. The fact that he was eating, playing with other dogs, and enjoying himself made my trip completely stress-free. I’d absolutely book with Leanne again. Highly recommend!”
“My dog loves hanging out with them. My dog seems a lot more happier with them. Also safety fully cared for and gets the play all day. Every dog’s dream wanna give a special thank you for always looking after my dog, even at the last minute.”
“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.”
“Kelly was amazing with both of my dogs! She sent me lots of photos of them enjoying her back yard and also cuddled up on the couch. I would trust her with Kuri & Kane anytime! Bonus points to her as well because one of my dogs can be grumpy with other dogs at times and Kelly did phenomenal with her.”
“Katie is just amazing - we left our puppy with her and she could not have been more caring and attentive to him. She shared numerous photos with us daily and allowed us to feel as though we were still connected with him. I could not offer a higher recommendation!! She is just wonderful!”
“Katie was an absolute fantastic dog sitter! We left our energetic pup with her and she took such wonderful care of her. From the very first meet-and-greet, Katie was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout the stay, Katie sent the most delightful updates and photos of her playing. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy she looked in all the pictures. Our dog came home well-cared for, more relaxed and content. Katie clearly went above and beyond. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring, responsible hands. We would (and will!) book Katie again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter who treats your dog like her own, look no further. Katie is the best! Thank you so much!! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend — 10/10 would trust her with our fur baby again!”
“We are so thankful that we found Caroline to pet sit our boy Wally. A family member was going to be our sitter, but a week before our planned trip they unexpectedly canceled on us. We then found Caroline on Rover, we did a meet and greet soon after and we knew she was the perfect match to watch Wally. We so appreciated the daily photos and updates while we were gone. Wally was so well taken care of that we know without a doubt that we will be reaching out to Caroline the next time we need a sitter for Wally.”
“Quick to reply and very accommodating for drop off and pickup! It was a relief to have someone watching him while on vacation where he didnt need to be crated all day! He enjoyed playing with the other dogs as well!”
“Lauren was very sweet and did great with our dog, I contacted her on a short notice and she was able to accommodate us. Lauren sent us pictures everyday and kept us updated.”
“Jennifer is the best dog sitter! Our dogs have so much fun with Sammy & Archie and running around in her backyard. She is great with medication schedules and making sure our dog who is having mobility issues stayed safe & healthy.”
“Gustavo was amazing! He sent us plenty of pictures and videos to keep us updated and to make sure our dog was happy and comfortable the entire time. He took her on daily walks and gave her plenty of time to play and run in the yard. We will absolutely reach out to him again whenever we need someone to watch our dog! Highly recommend Gustavo!!”
“Thanks to Barbara and Steve we were able to enjoy our vacation. They loved and cared for our fur babies in their lovely home. Good communication, they sent us photos and videos We will be using them again, Thank you so much”
“Linda and Dwight treat our boy like family and they'll do the same for your dog! I never have to worry about a thing when he's with them, and not only am I usually a worrywart but our pup has special needs as well. Thanks, you guys, for taking loving care of Win and for always going that extra mile. ❤️”

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.
94% of sitters in Golden Eagle 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 Golden Eagle 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 Golden Eagle.
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 Golden Eagle. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Golden Eagle 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.
