“Maddie loved staying with Aish and her family. Maddie was always excited to see them, and I loved receiving the spontaneous photos they sent me during Maddie’s stay with them. The whole family deserves 5 stars!!”
“Dee is the absolute best Dog sitter! Our dog Luna is a high energy dog who is also very vocal and Dee does a great job caring for her. We know we don’t have to worry as she is being spoiled.”
“When we dropped off Diamond for her stay she was so excited as soon as we pulled up to Cheyann’s house. We appreciate and loved the daily updates. We had a terrible experience with a previous boarding at a large facility and Cheyann allowed us to go on a worry free vacation. We will definitely be using her again ☺️”
“Alecia and Todd (and their family) were wonderful with mini-goldendoodle, Ole, for a week+ over the holidays. They took great care of him, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that Ole would be loved (and be a part of family life) while we were gone.”
“Amy made myself and our two shelties feel very comfortable. There was never any doubt that we had selected the right caretaker. We got daily updates and they were ready for pick up at the specific time. This is really appreciated after a long trip. :-)”
“Palmer was well loved by Nessa & Jose and really enjoyed all the walks, playmates, and attention. He came home exhausted and sad to leave. They sent a ton of pictures and even video each day of his stay. Thanks so much for taking great care of Palmer.”
“Katie and her family were amazing. They made our senior dog feel part of their family. They gave medication and attended to all his needs. Not only was he cared for but he was made part of their family. We would always recommend Katie and her family to watch our dog. She sent updates all the time and pictures of our dog having a great time with the family. Truly an amazing experience.”
“Our dog Rio had a BLAST with Rachelle and Dan. They were very detailed oriented when it came to Rio’s special needs. They also sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Definitely will book again!”
“Very pleased. Xena came back happy. Continuous updates as well as reaching out with questions/clarification. Brandi’s love and care for Xena was on display. Truly greatful”
“My dog Boba stayed with Vrushali for 3 days and she was amazing at caring for him. She was good with sending updates as well. Boba and their dog Teddy got along very well, he is also very sweet. I will be using her services again in the future.”
“Lynne watched my 3 corgis for over a week. Upon returning from my trip I found them healthy and in good spirits! Lynne was responsive when I asked how things were going during the week. I couldn't have been happier with the care my dogs received from Lynne.”
“Julie and Ben took care of our Golden for four days. We had to change our plans at the last minute and they took our dog and helped us tremendously with giving her medication. They were so flexible, kind and caring and took such good care of our pup. They sent us daily updates and photos which was greatly appreciated. Our dog returned home happy. We would definitely reach out to them again! Thank you so much Julie & Ben!”
“Frank and Clarissa were great! They’re responsive and attentive and provided excellent updates. We were glad to have them watch our dog without any concern or incident while away.”
“Brenna welcomed our beagle on his first stay away from us. Her chill manner and gentle encouragement made me feel very comfortable. Would highly recommend to others and rebook again myself.”
“Our two pups were thrilled with their stay with Andrea and Dustin! We had a last minute cancellation and Andrea and Dustin were gracious with our last minute request. They have a big, beautiful backyard, perfect for romping and playing fetch. We received the perfect amount of updates and photos. Honestly, the whole experience was really lovely! We will definitely reach out to Andrea and Dustin in the future. I highly recommend!”

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Little Chicago 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 Little Chicago 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 Little Chicago.
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 Little Chicago. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Little Chicago 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 MN 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.
