“Elaina and Joseph V. were absolutely amazing with my dog during his stay from July 1 through July 5. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they genuinely cared for him and treated him like part of their own family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail throughout the entire boarding experience. I would absolutely trust them to watch my dog again and highly recommend Elaina and Joseph V. to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitters.”
“Kim took such wonderful care of our Pug. She even put the dog show on TV and Millie loved it. Kim sent photos throughout the week and it let us enjoy our time away knowing she was in a loving home”
“Angela and Dave took great care of our girl Ivy! The updates and videos were really helpful knowing that she adjusted well and was having a great time playing with Honey. Highly recommend!”
“Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her whole family treated my dog like one of their own, giving her so much love, care, and attention every single day. I truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for while I was away. I would trust Luciana with my dog again without hesitation. I highly, highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. She is simply the best!”
“Leigh and Richard were great! It was our first time using Rover, and Leigh and Richard exceeded all expectations. They provided updates regularly and it was very evident that our dog, Lucy, was very well cared for and loved. We can’t wait to use them again!”
“We trusted Julio with our golden retriever while out of town for a week. We received many smiling photos of our pup assuring us she was in great hands. Julio is nice to work with and we’ll be boarding with him again.”
“The care given to my two dogs (a senior Yellow Lab and a Golden Retriever puppy) while left with The Mutt House was wonderful! I received daily updates with pictures and they were very happy and comfortable when I picked them up after 10 days. I can honestly say our family vacation was so much more enjoyable knowing that our dogs were in such great hands. ”
“Yamile and her family and her pets have just been amazing. Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!! In fact she seemed sad to leave when it was time for her to come home. We have already booked a follow up stay!! Thanks yamile - you have been a life saver:)”
About: I've had cats and dogs since childhood, so I have a life-long experience with dogs of different sizes and breads, German shepherd, Husky, Chihuahua, at this moment I have a wonderful maltipoo kind of bread. I’m currently not employed and can take care of our small friends full time. Usually waking up at 7:30 and going to bad at 10:30 if the schedule for walking different I can fit it into mine and make adjustments. I live in apartments on 1-st floor, but don't have a fenced yard. Right by my building locates a good walking zone for dogs, the area is treated for ticks.
“We absolutely love having Diedre watching our dogs. My two pups were staying with her this weekend, and while one of my dogs was immediately very happy there, my other dog was very reactive and anxious around her dogs (this is normal for my dog - her dogs were great). Instead of it ruining our weekend, she pivoted and was so flexible and did drop in visits with our reactive/anxious dog. In the end, both of my dogs got what they wanted - Tilly got to stay and play and Sadie got to be comfortable at home, and got individualized attention. Both dogs were well taken care of and very happy. 10/10 🥰”
About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!
“Ally was so great with our small dog June! Ally was very attentive, sent lots of pictures/updates and June had a great time with her. We highly recommend her professional, high quality sitting services.”
“Elvis was in great hands with Stella. He got along great with her dogs. I was never worried about him while on vacation. He had a brown 3 legged squeaky toy that was lost at the house. He must have had fun playing with it with the other dogs. No problem, he can get it back next time Elvis stays. I would highly suggest others to consider Stella. Great family and dog lovers. Thanks so much…”
“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.”
“We are so glad to have found Carla! She watched our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog for 10 days and he was so well cared for and loved by her family. It was so nice knowing he was in a happy and loving home while we were away. He had lots of outdoor exercise and play time with Carla’s two pups. She was also very communicative and sent lots of pics and videos, which was much appreciated. Carla was also super flexible when our flight was delayed and we got into town late. We’ll definitely be contacting her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Cannot express our thanks enough to both Liz and Kris for watching our little girl. They provided amazing updates, photos (many of which were hilariously edited and amazing), videos, and even a report card detailing her stay when we picked her up. So thankful to have found them and we will most certainly be booking again!”
About: I’m Valeriia - an animal lover to the core. Growing up, our home was always full of pets, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s an energetic dog or an independent cat, I love caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. And yes - I can absolutely handle a strong puller on a leash without breaking a sweat! 🐾 I am relatively new to offering dog walking and boarding professionally (turns out we just didn’t know this could be a job sooner!), but our first clients came through word of mouth-which I think says a lot. Now we’re excited to connect with even more pet families through Rover. 🥰 When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a smoke-free, child-free home where they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on the first floor with a spacious living room plenty of room to play and relax. While I don’t have a backyard, our community features a beautiful park and lake, making it the perfect place for calm, enjoyable walks. I am carefully follow every owner’s instructions, administering medications if needed, and sending frequent photo and video updates - so many that you’ll barely feel like you were apart 📸 One more thing: my English is still a work in progress, but don’t worry - communication is never a problem. And as for the pets? They understand me just fine. 🐾 My primary job is fully remote, so I’m home for most of the day. From time to time, I may step out for a couple of dog walks, but those are always short, and I’m never away for long. Because I live in an apartment community, it’s important that pets are comfortable staying home alone for short periods without excessive barking or howling, out of respect for our neighbors. The rest of the time, I’m almost always at home, so your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout their stay. I always follow the routine your pet is used to and carefully stick to all of your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, or any special requests. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know what your pet is up to and can enjoy your time away without worrying.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorn Woods
We had to leave our dog for just over 2 weeks, which was so hard! But Katerina is so good to Jack and sends us photos every day, which really helps us feel better when we’re away! We’re so lucky that she was available to watch him - we hate leaving him anywhere else.
Michelle was wonderful and took such good care of my pup! I could tell right away she has a lot of experience with dogs and felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She communicated well checking in with updates and pictures. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
