“We needed someone to take care of our sweet dog for a week while we were on vacation and Arlene was the best. She took us last minute and had other dogs to play with and walk with, but not in an overwhelming way. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“We took our fur babies on vacation with us, but wanted to attend a Cubs game. I was a little nervous leaving my two fur babies with someone I didn’t know in a different city. Amalia was great! We talked on the phone before hand and she eased my mind. Drop off and pick up was great as well as the communication while they were in her care. Definitely recommend!”
“Darla and Greg were fantastic! They were quick to respond, sent multiple updates with pictures of my dog, and just had an overall great experience. Will definitely use them again!”
“I just want to say how flexible Merrick family was with my schedule. This is my first time using any services for Harper. We had the meet and greet that went great. Then we booked the boarding with them. I was sent pictures and updates on Harper and I will definitely use them again!! Also they have a fenced in backyard!!! That’s a plus”
“Megan was fabulous! I was nervous about leaving my senior dog with some health issues for 10 days. But after doing a trial run with Megan I couldn’t have felt more comfortable! She has so much experience, was extremely communicative and my dog loved her. She didn’t blink an eye at all the daily medications he had. Thank you, Meagan!”
“Bridget and her family are the absolute best. I have peace of mind knowing my pup will be well taken care of and happy when I have to go out of town. 10/10 recommend Bridget!”
“Mariposa had her first overnight with Sophia and Andy. They shared photos during her stay and she came home tired--a sign that she had a good time. We've already rebooked two more visits.”
“Tracy was great with our pup. Maia felt right at home from the start. Tracy was flexible with the drop off and pick up, and was able to watch her on short notice. I definitely will be having her watch our pup in the future.”
“Abigail was awesome. I have an older dog and am always worried about leaving her. Abigail was so kind and sent many photos treating her like her own. Definitely will you her again and recommend to anyone❤️”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“Kate was so fantastic taking care of our elder dog. From the moment I dropped Sadie off I knew immediately that she was in great hands. Kate was also super attentive, giving us updates on how things were going and clear communication that made drop off/pick up a breeze. I would certainly use Kate again and anyone else looking for someone who genuinely loves animals to use her too.”
“Irene was amazing for our dog’s short stay! She sent regular updates with photos, followed our instructions, and Alkali was cozy while staying at their house. We will book her again.”
“Lara was great for our dog. She sent routine updates and made him feel at home. She’s available and spent quality time with our guy while we were gone. Would recommend and book again”
“Cary was great with my dog! Very friendly, calm and accommodating! I was nervous about finding someone to watch my dog for me, she has strong opinions about people and doesn't like everyone, but she warmed right up to Cary, we had no issues at all!”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”
“I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Mia is warm, dependable, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dog felt safe, comfortable, and happy with her. We could not have asked for a better experience. We would trust Mia again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

Cheri is an experienced, responsible pet sitter. My Golden had a wonderful time with her with lots of playtime, attention, pets, and good care. She seemed very comfortable and happy, and I was impressed with Cheri's ability to understand individual dogs and their needs. I will definitely book again and recommend Cheri to anyone looking for dependable, loving pet boarding.
Tabouli is an anxious and reactive dog, but Abigail did a great job taking care of him. She sent us updates including photos throughout the day and it was clear she knows how to interact with nervous dogs. Tabouli seemed really comfortable with her, which honestly surprised me because it was his first stay with her. Thanks for everything, Abigail!
Hannah took such great care with our dog Phoebe! We got lots of pictures while we were away and Phoebe looked like she was having a great time. You could tell she didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up. And Hannah really helped us out when our travel plans changed.
I am so glad I found Connor to watch Tucker while we were out of town!!! He was great with our dog, extremely flexible and agreeable and his communication was excellent. Our dog seemed to really enjoy himself, feeling relaxed and happy. We will definitely use him again!
This was my first time leaving Louie overnight with someone outside of my family/close friends, I was extremely anxious but Sarah and Walter were so kind and supportive! They provided multiple updates daily at my request, responded quickly if I messaged but it was clear in the pictures, they treated my dog like he was their own and gave him all the love and attention. I’ve already shared them with some people looking for new sitters and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for care. I’m pretty sure Louie is already looking forward to the next time we go out of town for him to visit with them. Thank you!

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.
