“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“Megan was great with Delilah! She sent pictures and updates and I could tell Delilah had a great time with her pup! Will definitely be using Megan as a sitter again in the future!”
“Rebecca was theeee absolute best!! I'm so glad we found her. She took the best care of our boy and made him sooo comfortable. This was our first time using this service and I'm so glad we did. She is the best and we plan on using just her for our dog in the future!”
“Jim was great with Philip! He sent photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. Jim’s home is very clean and organized. He played with Philip in his backyard and even invited his dad’s dog over to keep my boy company. The two got along well! Will certainly book again! Book with Jim!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have walked them, bathed them, cuddles , massages, gave medications you name it. I absolutely love the feeling and genuine love that dogs give so I protect and love them at all cost! A stay home wife with no children home currently, so I’m free a lot! Needing a new hobby I enjoy to consume my days now. I have small babies so the house is already baby proofed! Also can purchase whatever is needed to make them feel comfortable! Not big on dogs being in crates and cages but if that’s what your prefer that can be arranged as well! Long as the dog is comfortable I am happy!
“I was a bit hesitant because this was the first time I ever did such a thing. Eloise made me feel os comfortable her spirit and kindness is amazing My dog loved her as well She took great care of my precious baby girl . I would definitely recommend her”
“Megan and her family were absolutely incredible! This was the first time we used anyone outside of family or friends to take care of our belle and we were so lucky to find Megan. Megan and her family truly treated belle as if she was theirs. Megan sent daily updates and photos of how belle was doing and we loved seeing how much fun she was having with Megan’s dog Dottie and how much love and snuggles belle was getting on the daily! It was such a comfort and peace of mind knowing Belle was with Megan and getting the best care. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone especially if their dog loves snuggles! 😊Megan, we can’t thank your enough for taking such amazing care of Belle! 😊”

“If I could give Matthew and Leslie 20 stars I would. They were professional from the meet and greet until it was time to drop my dog off. Their yard was so clean and well maintained. And there dog got alone so good with my dog. We will definitely be using them again.”

“Ethel has cared for our Luna multiple times over the last year and we cannot say enough about how awesome Ethel is. Luna comes home happily exhausted after her fun stays with Ethel and Ethel’s dog Tutsi. Ethel provides plenty of photo and text updates while on their walks and visits to the dog park. She’s responsive to messages, and she’s flexible and accommodating for dropoff and pickup. Ethel is so incredibly kind, and we always know Luna is in good hands with her. We’re so grateful to have found Ethel and you will be, too.”
“When reading Dwight's reviews someone said, "Don't consider anyone else, book him now!" Again, I repeat...Don't consider anyone else, book him now! Never have I felt more comfortable, assured, weeell informed, AND entertained when away from Lucky. Each of his reports had very specific info about my dog's temperament and character, that only someone who is 'tuned in' could possibly pick up on! Dwight is aaaamazing!!!”
“Barbara had great communication and provided pics and updates. I appreciated that she provided my pup with lots of activity and our dog was pooped when she got home!”
About: I’m almost 19 years young, but I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, I was known as the girl in the neighborhood bringing all the stray animals in! All fur babies deserve care and love just as much as us humans . I have 3 fur babies of my own (shiba inu 2 yrs) (2 cats both almost 1 yr old) I just finished my first year of college ! Also, I am a bilingual teacher assistant at a middle school. I would finish work and head right to afternoon classes. All though that is all over for the summer , I am looking forward to being with fur babies all summer ! I have a huge yard , although not fenced, animals are never let outside without a leash and or harness! Supervision is #1 key ! Also, I have a Shiba Inu and 2 Cats that are friendly to others! I’m always prepared for whatever your fur baby may need ! I look at others as if they were my own! Also my home is one floor but the basement I have is dedicated and decorated specifically for my pets and will not mind letting other fur babies enjoy the fun down there !
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Homewood is $50

It was difficult choosing a dog sitter this go round because I unexpectedly lost the last one I trusted with my dog. Latasha exceeded my expectations with the care of my dog. He was happy to see me when I arrived to pick him up and he seemed to thank her when we were leaving. I will definitely rebook with Latasha the next time we need a sitter for him.
This was my first time using Rover, so I was definitely nervous leaving my dog with someone for the first time. She was accommodating with my last minute booking and she was available for the late night drop off. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. Her communication with me was great, and she took good care of my dog. He came home happy and safe!
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!

There are 4,673 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Homewood. About 90% of Homewood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
