“Byron and wife Martha are the best sitters for dog Noki! Byron keeps me posted with pictures of my Noki comfortable in there home. That really gives me and my husband a peace of mine when we are traveling without him. Thank you for making him feel at home.”
“Another wonderful stay with Kim! She took exceptional care of our 5-month-old pup, showing so much love and patience throughout. Yoshi was still adjusting, and Kim handled his puppy energy and behaviors with ease and understanding. She even kept him safe and calm during a long tornado warning, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her fenced yard was perfect for helping him burn off energy, and she went above and beyond by teaching him how to play fetch—and even a little soccer! We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos, especially since we missed him a lot while we were away. We always feel confident leaving Yoshi with Kim—she consistently provides such thoughtful, attentive care. Highly recommend!”
“Jayne lovingly took care of my baby Kensie and gave daily updates on his eating and bathroom habits alongside some of the best photos of him! Super communicative and fastest response rate I've experienced at Rover.com. She is a real find!”
“Angela & Dave took great care of Scout. Angela was very communicative and sent photo updates throughout the stay. Scout made new friends with their dogs and the others staying too.”
“Monica is awesome with our Sky. She genuinely loves dogs and takes really special care to give ours the attention that she needs. The communication is great and she has been very flexible with our erratic schedules. We’re very happy to have met her and we feel very comforted knowing our Sky is in her good hands”

“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”

“Winnie had a great time playing with Loki! I got photo updates and it was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. So easy, will definitely book again!”
“Marta was absolutely wonderful! We boarded our dog, Marlin, with her while we were out of town for a few days, and the whole experience was fantastic. She sent us frequent updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Marlin was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. When we picked him up, he was his usual cheerful self, and we could tell he had a great time. We highly recommend Marta to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter—we’ll definitely be using her services again!”

“Rusty was great with Tally. He regularly sent pictures and videos to us which we really appreciated. Tally came home very happy and seems to enjoy her stay with Rusty and her other furry friends.”
“I’m writing to share how fantastic Livia and Matt were while I was out of town. Two of my three dogs stayed at their home, and from the very beginning they made me feel incredibly comfortable and completely at ease. There is absolutely no such thing as too many pictures when it comes to my dogs, and Livia and Matt were amazing about constantly sending updates, photos, and letting me know how my babies were doing. It made being away from them so much easier. I honestly hate going out of town because I hate leaving my dogs, but knowing that Livia and Matt are there to take such great care of them makes the entire process so much less stressful. I felt completely confident that they were safe, happy, and being treated like family. I will absolutely use Livia and Matt again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and attentive people to watch their dogs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Knollwood home-away-from-home, 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 Knollwood.
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 Knollwood 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 , 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 .
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.
