“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Winnie and Maisie received excellent care while staying with June and Wade. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports. They are very attentive to the dogs needs.”
“First time EVER finding a sitter for our dog that we did not know personally. Our pup Dozer has fear aggression and does not do well with kids. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find someone to care for him when we are away but Cheryl and Jim pulled through! Dozer relaxed after a few hours and seemed to be the good boy he is. Zero issues and zero calls! He was spoiled while we were away and came home in perfect condition. My husband and I are excited that we found someone to watch our baby that we can fully trust! We will definitely have these two watch Dozer again! 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you so much for easing our anxiety and for providing a safe space for Dozer.”
“Tricia was awesome! Her dogs are so cute & you can tell she really loves animals as this is all she does so her main priority is your babies. We got so many texts while we were away which we thought was amazing. Knowing our babies were happy & doing good made us feel really good about leaving them with her. They loved her & she loved them too & my little Bella was super tired when we got her back and napping all night which was such a relief. We can’t wait to have them stay with her again and I’m sure they’ll be excited too!”
“We couldn’t be happier about the care our greyhound Steely Dan received from Derek and his family while we were on a 3-week vacation. During the time we were away we regularly received updates and photos that assured us Steely was being made to feel at home. Derek has a large dog, Ellie, who is quite friendly, and there were no issues with Steely and Ellie spending time together. Steely is sensitive to thunderstorms, and the meds we provided were administered appropriately with no issues. Finally, when we picked Steely up, he seemed relaxed and content. We always felt confident he was in exceedingly capable hands.”
“I had the great opportunity to leave my baby blue with Carolyn and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She was so caring and loving with blue. If I could give her 10 stars I would. It was my first time leaving him with her and she was so amazing. She cared for him like it was her own furry member.She sent pictures and provided me with updates. I highly recommend her to care for you furry family member. I will use her Services again and actually have looked to arrange another babysitting weekend. Thank you Carolyn you have found a repeat client. 🙂”
“Brian is a great host. He reached out quickly upon my request and the provided information so I was able to book within about 30 minutes. He was proactive and reached out the night before to confirm arrival time and it was very responsive to all my requests and inquiries over text message. He was able to accommodate my daytime doggy daycare request His neighborhood is great and they even have a small dog area that’s fenced in for some off leash time. Basically, the best experience you could ask for when handing off your fur baby.”
“This was the second time I had Jennifer sit for my dogs. I would 100% trust her with them at any time. She gives frequent updates and makes sure the dogs are well taken care of. She treats them just like her own. One of my dogs was on a steroid and she made sure to give her her medicine and kept me up-to-date on how she was doing. I appreciate the care she gives to them when they are with her.”
“This was my first time using Carla to watch my 80 lb, 1 year old golden retriever, Luke. I chose Carla because of all the fantastic reviews she has received, and they are all well-earned. She lives up to the hype. She took great care of Luke and frequently sent us videos and pictures of him getting along with the other dogs. For Luke, it was a 72 hour play date. We have some other trips planned this year and Luke will definitely be staying with Carla.”
“Barb is a true dog lover and such a kind person! We felt very comfortable having our dog stay with her and her two dogs. They got along very well and her daily text updates and photos reassured us that things were going well and no need to worry! Highly recommend Barb as a trusted dog caretaker!”
“I was very pleased on leaving my dog with Shauna & Pete. They kept me up to date on my dog and how he was doing daily. I had peace of mind leaving my dog with this Family.”
About: I have loved animals—especially cats since childhood. They have been a part of my life all along. I had my own cat for 13 years and loved looking after and caring for him. For the time being, I don't work on certain days, so I can spend the whole day with your pet and give them all my love! I love showing affection and taking an interest in spending time with pets—whether at my own home or a client's because every animal deserves attention.
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”
“Beth was a wonderful sitter for my fur baby. She was very loving and made my Tig feel at home. I could tell he was comfortable with her and so was I. Thank you for taking such good care of Tiggy I know he made a good friend. We will definitely have her watch him again in the future.”
“My dog received great care from Jorge and his family. Bella was spoiled with lots of loving attention. She had a great time with his kids which were wonderful with her. She will definitely be going back.”

Jessica was the perfect host for Atticus and very accommodating. We had a last minute work trip come up and she was willing to let us book lat minute. While in the trip I had to extend to another day and Jessica had no hesitation in allowing us to extend for an extra night! We are thankful for such a loving host and enjoyed the wonderful pictures through out his stay! Thank you for the amazing stay with Atticus.

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.
93% of Lake in the Hills 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 Lake in the Hills 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 Lake in the Hills 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 Lake in the Hills.
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 Lake in the Hills 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.
