“I just wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Iman who took care of my dog for a week. From the very beginning, she was incredibly accommodating and friendly. She took the time to understand my dog's routine and preferences, making sure that my furry friend felt comfortable and loved during my absence. Throughout the week, I received regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that Iman genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of playtime, walks, and even some special treats! When I returned home, my dog seemed happy and well-cared for, which speaks volumes about the great care she provided. I highly recommend Iman to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my dog!”
“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.”
“Jesus was great with my poodle, he sent pictures or video of him daily. Jesus is caring and in tune to what your pet needs. He had so many toys for the dogs to play with. Jesus has a wonderful personality, and my dogs seem to love him. When I picked up my poodle Jesus had given him a bath, his bed was washed, and he was happy. I could not have picked a better person to keep my poodle. Jesus is the best of the best and my poodle enjoyed his time with Jesus and his family!”
“She took our booking very quickly and with about a weeks notice for a 5 day stay. Since this was our first time having our puppy stay away from home we wanted to do a meet and greet. She made time to meet us before the trip date and our puppy loved her dog. It made us feel more comfortable leaving our dog. It seems like our dog had a good time. Definitely be prepared to give your dog a bath when you pick it up! Overall good experience.”
“Stefani is excellent! We were worried because we have a puppy who has never been without us. She took great care of him and he seemed really happy. I had to unexpectedly cancel my second stay with Stefani due to a medical emergency and she was so amazing about it! I highly recommend her.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ginebra! She did an excellent job taking care of our dog and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Sharon was absolutely amazing. She took good care of our big puppy. She sent pics and kept us updated. Very kind and peaceful environment just like what our big puppy is used to. She did amazing working with his separation anxiety. Thank you Sharon, you are the best.”
“Mercedes did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for my dog, Mugzy, during his first three-week stay with her. Mugzy can be incredibly nervous when separated from me, which made me highly anxious about leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Mercedes completely eased my worries with her warm, welcoming nature and exceptional organization.She gave Mugzy extra special attention, making him feel loved and completely at home. He had a wonderful time socializing with Mercedes and her children. Thanks to this experience, I feel entirely confident leaving him in her care for my upcoming travel.To top it all off, Mercedes baked delicious brownies for me, made special treats for Mugzy, and gave him a bath so he was fresh and clean at pickup. She even provided a detailed report card tracking his progress! I am incredibly grateful for Mercedes and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their furry family member.”
“Danielle was fantastic! She was very patient in learning the specifics for my special needs (senior, blind and diabetic) pup. My pups came home happy and obviously had a great time! She provided daily updates, pictures and a video of one of my pups playing - which I loved. Overall a wonderful experience!”
“Keeta was well taken care of on her stay. I received pictures and updates while I was gone. I am so thankful to have found a wonderful person like Laura to take care of my girl. This was so much better than a boarding place. She got one on one attention and a nice yard to play in. I was able to enjoy my birthday vacation in Texas with son & grandkids worry free. Thank you so much Laura!”
“Rolanda was amazing! She kept me updated and sent pictures of Chloe throughout her stay! I can tell that Chloe was comfortable with her and she came back just as happy as she was before i dropped her off! I would definitely book with Rolanda again!”
“Janet was the best! I was nervous to leave my dog behind, but she eased my fears. She sent me pictures every day and her dogs welcomed my dog into their pack right away. He was sad to come home! I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful sitter. We’ll definitely be repeat customers! Thank you, Janet!”
“A true life saver! We attempted to keep our dog at a pet friendly hotel while we went to a concert, but Noodle decided she was going to let the hotel guests know how much she missed us by barking. We thought for sure we'd have to listen to the concert from the parking lot or just not go all together. Kathy responded very quickly, super nice and accommodating . Thank you again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I'm so glad it brought us to Barbara and her husband. Excellent communication from the first message I sent through the app, to setting up a meet and greet, to her sending the best pictures of our pup during the stay. I would highly recommend Barbara to anyone! Her services are second to none!”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“We felt so relieved that Rex was well cared for and not lonely while we were out of town. Thank you for the great photos and updates and for your patience with delayed flights!”

Sharon was absolutely amazing. She took good care of our big puppy. She sent pics and kept us updated. Very kind and peaceful environment just like what our big puppy is used to. She did amazing working with his separation anxiety. Thank you Sharon, you are the best.
I follow my heart when it comes to judging people and on meeting Ana & Byron my heart never failed me, they are a very caring couple whom I felt comfortable leaving my Yogi with. They sent pictures and videos showing how he was getting along and playing with other dogs. We will most certainly without a doubt use them again. Knowing how they took care of him we were really able to enjoy our vacation! Thank you Ana & Byron for showing our Yogi love and care. 😊
Rachel is an absolute angel. She got back me to quickly about a last minute emergency boarding for the weekend and set me at ease immediately. Honey's a new addition who has never been left alone, and being a sitter myself, it was difficult being on the customer side for once haha. But she provided so many great pictures and updates on Honey's progress while there, it was a godsend to know she was so well taken care of <3 I almost don't want to recommend her cause I want her available 😂 But absolutely go with Rachel, she's the best! I know I will continue to!
Latasha is the best, she made the whole process Completely simple and easy. I will be using her services again. And I can tell that my dog Charlie really did enjoy his stay. She kept me informed and sent lots of pictures. Thank you for providing my dog a home away from home.

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.
93% of sitters in Homewood 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 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.
<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 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.
