“Timothy is an excellent Rover sitter! He boarded our dog at his house for 9 nights. I like that he had us do a meet and greet first to ensure our dog would be a good fit. This was our first time using a sitter and I was nervous at first, but Timothy had great communication and I really appreciated the regular updates and great pictures. Our dog did well socializing and playing with the other dogs there. We will definitely be booking with Timothy again!”
“I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!”

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!
“5 star review! Reba is AWESOME! I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby (Callie) with her. We did a meet-n-great which was really nice, my dog 100% loves being at her house. Loved the photos she sent throughout Callie's stay. Reba will definitely be my 1st choice the next time I need a dog sitter.”
“They were absolutely amazing at taking care of my cat and kept me updated throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated how responsive, reliable, and punctual they were. Overall, they made the entire experience incredibly easy and stress-free. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Robert is an awesome dog boarder/dog watcher. He provided us with good updates and all the other things a good dog host does, but what sets him apart is is way with dogs. Our dog is usually defensive towards unknown guys, but with Robert, she was instantly at ease. I would 100% recommend Robert to anyone with a dog that is anxious or uncertain of others. He is a gem as a sitter/boarder in Rover! Thank you Robert!”
“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!”
“Francie was a great pet sitter. She took in both my pets for a week on relatively short notice and was very accommodating. She communicated well and sent many daily photos showing my pets enjoying their time. I highly recommend Francie and will use her again for my next trip. Thanks!”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Max. He is a senior dog with some health issues and she did a great job looking after him. Elizabeth was very responsive to our texts whenever we asked for updates and she sent us notes and pictures of Max regularly. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Maya was super great with my Wilma. She was very communicative and sent lots of updates and photos. There was no problem getting her to take her medication. I would definitely trust Maya to take care of Wilma again in the future.”
“Raven did an amazing job taking care of Lady while I went out of town for the weekend! Great communication, and Lady really seemed to enjoy her stay. I highly recommend Raven if you're looking for someone to watch your pet!”
“I was so nervous to leave my dog for the first time, but as soon as I got pictures from Leslie on that first day of my trip, I was at ease. Leslie communicated everyday and was also incredibly flexible, extending my dog's stay due to a late flight. I would definitely have my dog stay with Leslie again.”

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.
