“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Iman was a great match for my frenchie Pinky with IVDD. She communicated well with my sister and I. 10/10 Definitely recommend!! She’s the best I am truly blessed to have come across her profile! 🐾”
“Ana and Byron were great! I was worried because Theo is a rescue we adopted only six months ago and in many ways he is still traumatized and shy. But he warmed up to them right away and there were no issues. They sent photos every day, which were a wonderful bonus and greatly eased my mind. Ana and Byron were so caring and attentive. We will definitely use them again!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mercedes! This was our second time booking with her, and after our first experience, my mom even felt comfortable sending her puppy this time too. From the moment our dogs arrive, it’s obvious they are treated like part of the family. She takes them on plenty of walks, sends lots of pictures and updates, and truly gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Her whole family clearly loves having the dogs around, and it shows in the care and attention they receive. When we picked up our dog, she had even given her a bath, so she came home looking extra clean and happy! As if that wasn’t enough, she sent us home with the sweetest care package, complete with an adorable picture of our dog on the front. She consistently goes above and beyond in every way. She is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and trustworthy. We never have to worry about whether our dog is being well cared for because we know she is in the best hands. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! ❤️”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“Mariah and her fam were so awesome with Rhea! They were attentive and made sure to keep me updated with pics/ videos and messages. The whole family was warm and receptive! I will def rebook whenever we’re in town again!”
About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.
“Best experience ever. I was extremely nervous about leaving my dog at first, but Latasha made me feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate my last minute booking and sent photo updates throughout.”
“Sheree helped me rest assured that Sammy was well-taken care of. She identified issues and shared progress throughout his stay. She shared pics that let me know he was adjusting well and gave updates on his sleeping and eating habits. I hate to leave my puppy, but loved leaving him in her care!”
“I am so glad to have had the pleasure to meet Stefanie. I was in a real bind trying to find a last minute sitter for my dog Shelby. Although I was a bit nervous because my dog usually travels with me, Stefanie assured me that all would be OK. I left feeling totally comfortable and confident that I would be leaving Shelby in good hands. Except for a small hiccup in times, everything was GREAT!! I would definitely recommend and l, will for sure be using her again. Thanks Stefanie!!”
“I really like Jennifer she made us feel comfortable with leaving leo with & her children providing regular update made me feel at easy Jennifer also took him on very short notice which was a blessing in disguise. When I came to pick leo up I spoke with her mom & that was definitely a cherry on top.”
“Amy was amazing! I left my cat Dino in her care for over a week, and she was very communicative, kind, and caring for my cat. By the end of his stay, he was even cuddling with her throughout the night because of how comfortable he was. Will definitely book again! 10/10 service would recommend”
“Rolanda was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and her dog was very compatible with mine. She treated my fur baby like it was her own. I definitely will use her again!”
“We would highly recommend Candace and Steve. Dexter is very attached to us and we were a bit worried about how things would go. From the meet and greet to the full 9 day stay, things went more smoothly than we could have imagined. Dexter was well cared for and content. Candace sent video clips often and we were so surprised to see how well he adjusted. He even made a new friend- Pumpkin! We can't thank Candace and Steve enough for taking care of our guy and allowing us to have a very relaxing and much needed family vacation.”
“Lynda and her husband were super kind! We ended up having to book boarding for our dog super last minute and they were very flexible and happy to take her in for the day. Lynda meet us with a notebook in hand to take notes about how to care for our dog They took her on a nice long walk and tuckered her out. And they kept her until late at night so could enjoy our day/night worry free! Highly recommend!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Homewood
Sharon is a amazing siyter. She took a lasy minute booking of our two fur babies, Cleo and Snowie, after our regular sitter pulled out the day before our trip to California. Our babies got to know her and we loved the photo and video at check-ins. Our elder Snowie can be a hard pleaser, but Sharon found her love language and they became fast friends. Cleo is our family cuddler and took to Sharon right away. Thanks Sharon for allowing us to mark a family milestone by being a fabulous sitter for our two babies.
We're so glad we got Rachel to keep Winston. we've tried contacting her last summer but the timing wasn't right. When we finally did, we knew she was good. Winston really enjoyed himself and he looked like he was at home from the photos. We've felt so comfortable and happy from the contacts we've received from Rachel. Thanks again Rachel, you're a superstar.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Homewood on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,681 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Homewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Homewood sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Homewood landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Homewood 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 Homewood.
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.
You and your Homewood 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.
