“Whitney was great with Frank! It seemed like he had such a nice time with her and she brought him on several walks and to the dog park. I would love to book with her again :)”
“Hank loves seeing Brenda and Milo. He runs up the stairs and doesn't even look back to say good bye to me. Great folks, excellent communication, and a happy puppy when he gets back.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Great communication, received lots of updates and photos, and we could see that our dog was happy, comfortable, and relaxed during her stay. Highly recommend John and Ryan!”
“We have booked with Sarah and Walter several times. They care for our small, senior dog as if he were their own. We get pictures and updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend.”
“Yahret and her family are the best you could possibly ask for!! Incredible people who love my pup like their own. You couldn’t ask for a better family to watch your pup!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Angelica! My shih tzu is a nervous boy with special needs and Angelica was so wonderful to him. She took expert care of his eye (he needs one cleaned a certain way) and was so good to him when an unexpected thunderstorm rolled through on one of the nights he was staying with her (he absolutely hates thunder). Her home is set up perfectly for dogs, too. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!”
“Cynthia took great care of my dog Buddy and sent regular texts and photos. It was a special challenge since it rained almost every day! Since this was my first time boarding Buddy, I'm really grateful for attention to my pup!”
“Kyla was great with boss and dublin, giving us peace of mind with the updates and pictures she gave us. It looked like our fur sons had a very fun time!”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about Cagatay and his family! My flights was delayed and he watched my dog another night, without hesitation. He provided pictures and updates every day - his little daughter looked so sweet with my little Bingley. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“Outstanding experience. Shirley was very thorough with communication, made things easy for us and our dog had a great time with her. I don’t think he wanted to come home. Definitely recommend.”
“Christine is wonderful with our dog Enzo and he always comes home from his boarding experience relaxed and happy! She sends lots of updates, makes sure to exercise him, and (to Enzo’s delight) is generous with the treats 😊😊 we highly recommend Christine!”
“Eniya was amazing with my dog! She kept me updated with pictures and notes the whole time, and I could tell he felt right at home. He came back happy, tired, and super loved. Definitely booking again!”
About: We’ve been caring for family and friends’ dogs and puppies for 14 yrs, We have potty trained puppies, taught them to sit, wait patiently for food, and other fun tricks. Most importantly they get a lot of attention and love. We want to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while away from home, creating the perfect home away from home! We both work from home, so rest assured that someone will be around with your furry loved one. We will make sure they have several potty breaks, timely feeding, and are well taken care of. Your furry loved one will be in the house where we keep a close eye at all times. We also use gates periodically to close off sections of the house, especially while feeding, if necessary. We have a fenced yard where they can run around in which we usually also keep a close eye while they are out
“Sasha was awesome! They took great care of our dog and kept us updated with photos. We could tell our pup was happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”
“Took such good care of our dog! We got lots of photo updates, which helped reassure us. She was able to accommodate all of our dog’s weird quirks and mannerisms, I could tell she ready my notes and applied those to their time together. Will absolutely use again!”
“Lilo had a fantastic time at Robby and Nikki's and we felt at ease leaving her with them. They always provide updates and are extremely responsive. We will definitely have our dog stay with them again and highly recommend them.”
“Elliott was excellent with our Bella! He took great care of Bella and even trained her to be a more disciplined dog! He also provided regular updates and high quality videos. I’d recommend Elliott to anyone, anytime. We’ll definitely want Elliott to watch Bella sometime In the future.”

I honestly couldn’t recommend him more! We’ve trusted him with a previous dog I’ve owned and now with our baby. She’s a little special and has anxiety, but we truly do trust him. He’s great we can travel and leave her with him and know that she’s very well taken care of.
This was Jenny's longest (and 8th) stay with Doug & Deb. She was under-the-weather, and they went above & beyond to ensure she felt safe & comfortable. Doug went to the vet to get her medicine. Jenny loves to walk but is difficult to walk due to her reactivity. Still Deb took her out for little walks. Jenny looks forward to her next visit in November!
Michelle was phenomenal with our puppy! She provided updates and gave her excellent, hands-on, truly sweet care. She bought her little toys to match her breed and sent them home with us (so kind) and was so polite, professional, flexible, and quick to communicate. We can’t wait to work with her again!
Cindy was great! She was open to meeting before the booking to make sure Dexter and her got along. During Dexter's stay Cindy sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing. Cindy eased some nerves, only hung out with Dex, and we would definitely book again!
Kaitlin was fantastic! Great communication and updates during my dog’s boarding stay. She was able to help out last minute when I had a caregiver cancel. She took my dog for walks and he was a happy pup when I picked him up. I would definitely board with Kaitlin again!
Courtney was terrific with my dog. My dog has anxiety and doesn't eat good when I'm away. Courtney went above and beyond to help her eat. She's very laid back which is what my dog needs. Really knows her dog stuff as her career has always been working with dogs plus her vet tech degree. I would recommend her to anyone.
Nelia took such a great care of our 16-week old puppy during overnight stay. She was highly communicative & engaged, send us a lot of pictures & made sure our puppy’s needs were met. I trust this person a lot, and would recommend to everyone who is looking for a loving dog sitter

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
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.
