“Absolutely fantastic! We have had some not so good luck with sitters lately, and Barbara was a breath of fresh air. She genuinely cares for the well being of our pups, and the updates were plentiful. Thank you. We will return to you again.”
“I had to leave my pup for 5 days to fly back home and was honestly so anxious but Kathleen sent me plenty of updates and took great care of her! She was extremely accommodating and treated my dog like she was one of her own. I definitely recommend and would re-book with her in the future!!”
“Viri and her family were great! She accommodated my last minute booking during the holidays! She did an excellent job, was flexible, updated with pictures and my dog seemed to enjoy himself.”
“Sara and her family were just wonderful with Bosco! Bosco had fun playing with all of their pups so we were so happy that Bosco had lots of play time. This was Bosco’s first overnight away from home and we felt very comfortable leaving him in Sara’s care. We would definitely reach out to Sara again! Thanks Sara!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, and I now have over 18 years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and give their pets the same love and attention they would. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making every dog feel safe and happy. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2 PM for walks, drop-ins, or boarding. Also im at full time college student I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where animals can relax and feel safe. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide lots of attention, and make sure they’re supervised at all times. I can also crate your dog if required.
“I was nervous leaving Mack because he hasn't been watched by anyone other than family in our home. He had a rough start but Becca was trying to work with him and his anxiety. She provided constant updates to help me feel more at ease. She was very caring, very communicative, and I can tell she is passionate about animals and watching them in her home.”
“Jonna took amazing care of our dog and treated him like family. She sent pictures and updates throughout his stay. We will definitely use her in the future, and we highly recommend her!”
“Adam and Erica are a lovely family with two beautiful kids, a dog and a cat. They watched my two dogs and everyone got along perfectly. The home was clean and well kept and the yard was fenced. They had my dogs for three days, they send photos and updates and all went as planned. I would have no reservations recommending them to anyone who has a dog that is both kid friendly and animal friendly. Very nice family who took great care of my pups.”
About: Hi! I’m Diane, a mature and loving dog mom with 18 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I treat every dog like my own—providing a safe and happy environment while you’re away. Whether your dog needs daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or administering medication, I’ve got you covered. I'm home all day every day as a dedicated dog mom. No other work or children in the home to distract me from providing your dog with care and attention. I care for one dog at a time in addition to my Bella. Dogs are never left home alone. Our home is a haven for small dogs. Every room has cozy chairs, blankets and pillows along with natural light and fresh air for dogs to enjoy. Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a large, safe fenced in yard. The fence is solid with absolutely no gaps for little ones to squeeze through.
“I left my 4 month old puppy with Melissa & Justin for his first time with a sitter, and had a great experience! Their dogs are very well-behaved and friendly & I felt totally at ease leaving my pup to play with theirs for the evening. Melissa sent pictures throughout & was quick to respond to my messages, so I felt reassured all night that he was in good hands. I came home with an exhausted puppy, which is all I can ask for!”
About: I have a ton of experience pet sitting and checking in on pets throughout the day as well as dog walking. I also have a lot of experience working with senior aged animals. I am very confident in my skills and would love the opportunity to help out anyone who needs it. I am super flexible with hours and always available. I am currently on summer break from school so right now I have all the time in the world. Once September starts I will have to go back to school but I only have a few classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so I would only be away from, the animals for two hours at most. Caring for pets in their home is my preferred way to do it because they are familiar with the environment. I have experience watching pets in all types of and different types of outdoor access. So even if there is no screened in fence, I am able to deal with that.
About: I have grown up around dogs and cats my whole life. Pets are a part of the family and I treat every animal as if it were my own. I would love a buddy, and hope to make your dog’s or cat’s day with a fun walk or visit! I am open most weekends, mornings & evenings. I am both willing and would love to make time for your little fur baby! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep your dogs company! My neighborhood has sidewalks and is next to a forest preserve, so we often go on long adventurous walks.

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.
96% of sitters in Lee 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 Lee 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 Lee.
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 Lee 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.
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.
