No additional holiday fee applies. I work for a local school district from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM, and my workplace is only about 8 minutes from my home. During my lunch break at 11:45 AM, I am able to come home to check on your pet and provide a potty break and some attention. Because I work for a school district, I am home on weekends, holidays, school breaks, and throughout the summer, giving me a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. While I am at work, my mother is also available to assist with your pet as needed, so your dog will always have someone available to provide care and attention. My schedule allows me to create a dependable routine while still giving your pet plenty of companionship, exercise, potty breaks, and individualized attention throughout the day. My dog follows a consistent routine with daily feedings, Three walks, and regular outdoor play and potty breaks. He’s a friendly, 3-year-old who loves having other dogs to play with. Pets in my home are treated like family, allowed on furniture and welcome to sleep in my bed if that’s your preference. I’m happy to match your pet’s routine and comfort level.
“Nardine was very accommodating. I had to sit with Nardine in the yard to let my dog get to know her. It took about 30 mins. But Sugar adjusted. Nardine thank you for your patience. I would highly recommend. I will be using her again Jean”


“Our pup Milo had a great weekend with Deb! He came home clean and super tired. She sent pictures throughout his stay and was very communicative. I would definitely book her in the future ?”

“Toast had such a good time with Christian! They got along great, he provided tons of photos while we were away, and he was easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using him again!”

“Traci was so accommodating for our pup and he loved his stay! She sent us so many pictures and videos that we were never left wondering what he was up to. We will definitely be reaching out to Traci for any future pupsitting needs :)”

“Miranda came through for us in the last second when someone cancelled 2 days before our trip. Appreciate that so much. She sent constant updates of the pups and what they were up to and my dogs came and crashed which tells me they had a blast based on the pics and how tired they were :) Thanks Miranda!”

“Sharahi took excellent care of our Tess when we were away for a long weekend. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and sent frequent updates while we were away. We would absolutely ask Sharahi to watch Tess again!”

“We have had Nick and Jill (and kids) watch Niko a few times now and every time Niko comes back healthy and happy! He gets excited as we pull up and runs right into the house when we drop him off! We will definitely use them again!”


About: I've been a responsible dog owner the past decade and have cared for dogs collectively for 15 years total. I am highly observant of their behaviors, needs, health and different ways of communicating. I'm also a great communicator when it comes to responsiveness, sending daily photos and answering any questions. As a bonus, if you are flying out of town, we can provide a free parking space at our home and most likely drop you off and pick you up at either airport for a nominal additional fee to cover gas ($10 Midway, $20 O'Hare) to save you money on a ride share or taxi rate. I work from home and my wife is typically home from her job as a physician at a nearby hospital before 5 pm. I typically walk our two dogs once a day + let them play in our 1000 sqft fenced in dog run. We have two incredibly friendly dogs and two playful cats to keep yours company too. We have crates on each level of our home and can even keep your dog isolated (if you want) in a separate room with closed door, while still receiving exercise, attention and proper care.
“We came from out of town for a wedding and our puppy Bailey wasn't doing so well in the hotel on her own so we were in desperate need for someone to watch her, Denise was super quick and was able to take her on a real short notice and kept us updated all day/night with so many photos. Bailey was well taken care of and came to us tired from running around with Azure. Couldn't thank her enough.”

“Agnes was great with my dog, Bernie. Great communication and flexibility for drop off/pick up. She gave a bunch of updates and took Bernie on a lot of long walks, even though her indoor space is huge.”

“Susseth was great with our pups! This was the firs time boarding Abby and Winston and she made time to meet them beforehand so they would be comfortable with the process. Throughout their stay she provided updates and sent us pictures. Thank you for the taking care of our pups!”

“Candy spoiled my dog, he was well looked after and loved. I appreciated the updates and communication while we were away, and it was nice to be able to relay special care needs and instructions that were followed.”

“Barbara took excellent care of our two dogs. She sent a ton of pictures so I always knew what they were doing and that they were happy on their doggie vacation. Both ate and slept really well at Barbara's house.”

“My Paisley loved Christie and her family. Christie kept me abreast of Paisley’s stay with pictures and video. Paisley fit right in. Christie even dropped Paisley off at home. I definitely will have Paisley stay with them again! ❤️”

“It’s been awesome being able to visit family over Christmas and New Year’s Eve this year and having someone so reliable to watch our pups. Thanks for becoming a regular to us Kendall!”
“Stephanie was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. She cared for our dog Skye for a full week, and from the very beginning, her communication stood out. She consistently sent pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. In every photo, Skye looked relaxed, happy, and completely at ease—it was clear she was being genuinely cared for, not just “watched.” One standout perk that made the entire experience even better was that Stephanie handled both pickup and drop-off. That level of convenience made a huge difference for our family and really showed her commitment to providing top-tier service. What truly confirmed everything for us, though, happened at drop-off. When Stephanie brought Skye home, Skye ran to greet us, excited as ever—but the moment Stephanie opened her car door to grab the rest of Skye’s things, Skye jumped right back into the car with her tail wagging. That spoke volumes. It showed us that Skye didn’t just feel safe—she had built a bond and truly loved her time with Stephanie. Stephanie is not only professional and reliable, but she clearly has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. She treats your dog like family, and that’s something you simply can’t put a price on. If you’re considering booking with Stephanie, don’t hesitate—you’ll be leaving your fur baby in caring, trustworthy, and genuinely loving hands.”

We had such a wonderful experience with Natalie ! She was amazing from start to finish and took such great care of our dog. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing our pup was in good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared about her and treated her like her own. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!

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 .
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.

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.
