“Deanne was wonderful with our little Yorkie. She and her husband were kind enough to allow our pup to share their bed with them too. That speaks volumes to me. I will definitely schedule with Deanne again.”
“I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.”
“Dunkin's first time with an over night boarding while his humans went away could not of been any better. After two introduction daycare visits to Jackie the day of his stay he could of not been any more comfortable. He actually ran into her house! Jackie's updates with me and pictures while I was gone put me at ease right away. Dunkin received the best of care while staying in a loving home environment. Dunkin for sure will be staying again. Thank you!”
“Jessica was flexible and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Selah in her hands an we would definitely use her again. Selah seemed to love being with Jessica and her daughter. They even took her in the car for an outing which she loves.”

While in my care basic manners will be reinforced through positive methods only. Having dogs in my home is always a joy.

“Dickson watched our dog Sadie for a few days while we were out of state, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. His home was clean and welcoming, and he has such a calm, positive energy. He sent us photos and videos along the way, which gave us real peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear Sadie felt comfortable and happy with him. We’ll definitely be booking Dickson again”
“Chrystal did an excellent job dog-sitting and boarding our dog for four days. She was great with handling him and making him feel welcome, provided a good home environment, took him on walks, and was awesome about making updates along the way. We would definitely book with Chrystal again!”
“This was the second time I had Jennifer sit for my dogs. I would 100% trust her with them at any time. She gives frequent updates and makes sure the dogs are well taken care of. She treats them just like her own. One of my dogs was on a steroid and she made sure to give her her medicine and kept me up-to-date on how she was doing. I appreciate the care she gives to them when they are with her.”
“The dogs had a great time during their first stay here! Sumer and her family were able to take them some what short notice as our long time boarder was unexpectedly moving out of town and we really appreciated that. They took great care of the dogs and our dogs had fun playing with their pups. They have a good size backyard and we were happy to get pictures and updates that they were doing well. Thanks again!”
“Cinnamon had a great time and I loved that I was constantly getting updates from videos and texts! Made me feel secure that I dropped my puppy off at the right place! So much love and attention they provided to Cinnamon!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Autumn is great! Our dog always comes home very happy and you could tell she is very well cared for when with her! She always gives us updates and pictures of our dog. I would 100% recommend her.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.
“udith was wonderful with Linny! My biggest concern when using Rover is that Linny tends not to eat when he's in a new environment. Judith treated him like he was her own and made sure he was eating properly. Whenever he wasn't interested in food, she spent extra time playing with him to help build up his appetite. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. I would definitely book with Judith again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”

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 Hartland 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 Hartland 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 Hartland.
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 Hartland. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 Hartland 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.
