“Stephanie was easy to book and updated us daily with a picture or video of our pup. Our dog, Dax, was well-cared for and came home happy and tired! We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Stephanie again.”
“Hands down best experience I could have expected. Janet was great to work with, kept me up to date and really went above and beyond to work with me and take care of my dog.”
“Emmeli was so sweet and took wonderful care of Sissy! She was incredibly accommodating and flexible with our situation, especially since we don’t live in Billings and needed someone somewhat last minute. She has a beautiful home, and I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving my dog with her. She sent us photo updates and checked in to let us know how Sissy was doing. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog!”
“Our Coco Chanel LOVED being with Olivia. She had playmates with Mogli and other pets that Olivia was sitting. This was our first time leaving her for an extended period and were worried that she would be anxious but she totally relaxed by day 2, which also allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We never felt that our fur baby was left with someone that loved and cared for her as much as we do. Will ABSOLUTELY use Olivia's services again! 💞”
“Angles is top notch and she will always be my choice when events take me out of town! I received pictures daily and could tell that my dog was happy and that made me so thankful! I’m not sure they come better than Angela!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always had a dog in my life until recently. My greatest strength is my ability to communicate with dogs. I have reaised puppies and cared for senior dogs through end of life. My best friend, King George (pictured), taught me how to love in ways I did not know were possible, and now I want to pay that forward. No matter your pet's needs, I can provide them. I work part-time from home. My work is extremely flexible, which allows me to give your pet 100% of my attention while under my care. My dog was my son and I always put him first. I will care for your pet as if it is my own child. I have no pets now, so you are guaranteed that your pet will always come first with me. If I watch your pet in your home, I will learn your routines, habits and behaviors so that I can surpassed your expectations in pet care.
About: I provided daily care for multiple pets belonging to the family i nannied for twn years. Including frequent overnights. My own collie lived to be 18! 😊. I work part time with a flexible schedule. This allows me to create my own schedule most days, leaving room for frequent play, attention and exersize. I have a large fenced yard. My animal loving son and i are high energy and highly loving humans. Your pets will be spoiled 😊
About: I have lifelong experience caring for pets and have owned animals of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds. I’m an active foster who has helped place six dogs into permanent homes, and I regularly volunteer at local shelters. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical and special needs, including torn ACLs, allergies, skin conditions, and visual impairments in both young and senior dogs. I work Monday through Friday from 7:00–3:00 PM and am available for walks and check-ins before and after work. I’m happy to discuss additional needs and do my best to accommodate. It is a possibly to do mid-day walks if I have the means to coordinate around my work. My dog is my world (and she may or may not run the house!). She’s allowed on the furniture and enjoys a 30-minute walk every day, rain or shine. The care I provide for your pet will be based entirely on your preferences—whether that means treating them like my own or strictly following your established routines. I’m flexible and happy to provide most services.

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.

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.
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.
98% of sitters in Joliet 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 Joliet 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 Joliet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joliet. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Joliet 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 MT 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
