“Susan was awesome! My husband is extremely particular about the dog. I’m actually shocked he agreed to leave him with a stranger. It could not have gone any better! Susan took Jack for lots of walks and she and her husband even took him on the boat! We got lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing. We definitely hope she’s available to watch Jack next time we travel!”

“I honestly can’t thank Kathleen enough for watching my baby! She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. I know my boy was loved. He played all weekend and was absolutely worn out after playing in Kathleen’s backyard all weekend. Aside from taking such great care of my boy, she was super flexible and understanding of my schedule. My plans had changed last minute and she ended up taking him a second night. We also got into town a little later than I thought and she was kind the entire time! Kathleen thank you so so much for making my weekend stress free and taking such amazing care of my fur baby!”

“We had never used an outside resource to care for our dog and we were completely surprised. Kimberly was thoughtful and kind and our dog was in amazing hands. She listened and walked us through the process and kept us updated throughout the whole weekend and even sent us pictures. We loved it and we will definitely use Kimberly again - she is awesome!!! Thank you for making our first time so easy.”

“Vishvesh and Julia provided exceptional care for my girls, Maple and Maisy! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and messages, which made being away from my girls so much less stressful. When Maple and Maisy came home, they were calm, happy, and clearly very well loved. They came back ready to give us all of the love and joy they had received from Vishvesh and Julia. 🐾❤️ They even went the extra mile and brought my girls home, which meant so much to me. I am beyond grateful for the care, attention, and love they gave my girls. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and Maple and Maisy definitely found that with Vishvesh and Julia. Five stars isn't even enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We highly recommend them and, without a doubt, they are our dog sitters for life! Thank you so much, Vishvesh and Julia, for taking such wonderful care of our girls. We are forever grateful! ❤️🐶🐶”

About: 🐾 Senior Dog Experience 🐾 Puppy Experience 🐾 Reactive Dog Experience 🐾 Anxious Dog Experience 🐾 Training & Coaching Experience Whether your dog is super anxious, super chill, extra bossy, extra playful, or just needs someone who truly gets it- I offer experienced and thoughtful care that adapts to their individual personality. From enrichment games to slow warmups, and athletic activity to assisted mobility, I meet your dog where they are physically and support them emotionally. Great with high energy, nervous, and special need dogs, but I welcome all temperaments! You'll always get detailed notes and they’ll always get real connection. No guesswork, no missed meds, no rushed visits. Just reliable, behavior-savvy care for dogs and their big feelings. If your pup needs someone who truly understands them while you’re away, I’d love to help. My wife and I both work from home so my schedule is flexible. I’m happy to make your pet a priority and be consistent care you can count on. I can keep up with your dog’s home routines and provide playtime, walks, feedings and medication while you’re away. My home has a large, grassy, fenced in yard with nature views and a lot of cozy places to rest inside. I never use crates unless asked to, and your dog will be treated like one of my own— spoiled, safe, and seen.

About: I have adopted all my animals. I trained my dog very quickly to be potty, trained, and sit and learn new tricks. I am very lovable and I can’t get enough of animals. They are my happy place. I work part time only 4 hours (plus a short commute), so I have plenty of time during the day. I have plenty of time for physical play training, dog walks naps etc I take my dog on walks twice a day. I take her to the doggie park. She gets lots of exercise. I have a big house a yard and love playing with my animals.

“We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Harding 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 Harding.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Harding 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.
