“Barbora was an amazing dog sitter!!! Very attentive to details and great communication throughout the stay. My dog felt very comfortable and seemed well loved!!! Will definitely use them again in the future!!!!!”
“Kelli’s family is like a vacation for our pug Lizzi! Kelli keeps us updated on how things are going with a daily photo. This is at least her 8th stay in the last couple years and we are 100% confident that she is safe and getting good attention in a just like home environment!”
About: I've raised 6 puppies. I have raised and trained a service dog puppy. Two dogs needed daily injections of insulin. We have a certified German Shepherd guide dog in our family. I am retired and I enjoy walking every day. I am flexible with working with your pets. I don't mind walking in most weather. I do not walk when it's icy however. I have a dog park close to my home. I have a fenced in yard. My husband loves dogs as well. We live close to some great bike trails.
“I was happy with Stacie watching my dogs, Stacie is nice, and pleasant, my dogs like her as well. Stacie sent me a picture of my dogs at her place. My dogs looked happy.. Thank you Stacie.”
“Adela took amazing care of my dog Sammy during his 6‑day stay. She sent daily photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She also paid close attention to his behavior and let me know about some anxiety signs she noticed, which will really help me prepare him for future stays in other homes. She even went above and beyond by picking Sammy up so I could finish loading my car—such a thoughtful gesture. I could tell from his photos and his happy, relaxed demeanor when I picked him up that he felt comfortable and loved in her home. Her whole family did a wonderful job caring for him. Highly recommend Adela. If they will have him Sammy will definitely be visiting again.”
“We’ve used Cynthia several times and have been very pleased. Winston goes on walks, lounges around the house or fenced in yard, enjoys the company of Cynthia’s pets and is well-taken care of. Cynthia keeps me updated with photos/texts. She’s easy to schedule with and obviously cares for animals. Highly recommend!”
“Margaret was AMAZING!!! I need someone to watch my Bentley boy last minute and she was the perfect match! Very communicative and sweet. He came home nice and tired lol thanks to her doggy for all the wonderful play time ! I definitely will be rebooking with her! Highly recommend! 💙”
“Starr and her family were exceptional during Mhina’s first stay! Star provided numerous photos and updates throughout. She even took the time to help me get all my dog’s items to the car. I’ve already booked her again for Thanksgiving 2024!”
“Robert is an awesome dog boarder/dog watcher. He provided us with good updates and all the other things a good dog host does, but what sets him apart is is way with dogs. Our dog is usually defensive towards unknown guys, but with Robert, she was instantly at ease. I would 100% recommend Robert to anyone with a dog that is anxious or uncertain of others. He is a gem as a sitter/boarder in Rover! Thank you Robert!”
“Tami is incredible!! This is my first time leaving my puppy and I was really nervous. We did a meet and greet, talked through his care and had him meet the other dogs. She took great care of Haze and sent updates throughout the weekend (which I loved). He couldn’t have been in better hands. 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future.”

“Amy is amazing! My dog absolutely loves her. I feel a sense of relief when my baby is left with her. Her house is clean and cozy and you can tell that she genuinely loves dogs. She even sent my dog home with a new toy. I will always book with her if she’s available. ❤️”
“You will be VERY happy choosing Blair. He made our Tinkerbell feel very comfortable and cared for. Sent photos to us s we felt better too. He took great care of Tinkerbell! Thanks Blair!”
“I can’t thank her enough for helping me out on such short notice! She took my dog in last minute for the weekend and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated, treated my dog like one of her own, and it was obvious my pup was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can trust when unexpected things come up. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“Staci was the best. She watched our dog for 2 weeks and sent pictures regularly to check in. From the pictures, I could tell our dog was having a good time and loved playing with Staci’s dogs. Thank you Staci!”

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 Livingston 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 Livingston.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Livingston 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.
