“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“We were so thankful to find Nina over the holidays after several other options were fully booked. Our dogs warmed up to Nina and her boyfriend immediately and felt right at home. Nina was awesome in keeping me updated daily and making me aware of any odd behaviors. She was extremely responsive, considerate, and amazing to work with. We even ended up extending their stay midway through given such a good experience. Can't wait to book with Nina again!”
“Wendy has stayed multiple times with Matthew and Michelle and she is very well taken care of! They are super responsive and Wendy always looks relaxed and happy there in the photos they send!”
“Tim is a great guy who is amazing with animals. He provided pictures and updates every day. My dog did not even want to leave. He obviously provided great care and was very flexible with my schedule for pick up and drop off. I really appreciate his dedication and genuine love of animals.”
“Litzy was very good! This was the first time my yorkie stayed away from family and I was nervous how he would react. Litzy was attentive and gave plenty of updates and pictures! Relieved to have someone I can trust with my buddy!”
“Whitney did a fabulous job. I have a dog that isn't comfortable with other dogs and new people. Whitney took this on like a champ and made my doggo feel right at home. I received so many updates while I was away.”
“Christine is wonderful with our dog Enzo and he always comes home from his boarding experience relaxed and happy! She sends lots of updates, makes sure to exercise him, and (to Enzo’s delight) is generous with the treats 😊😊 we highly recommend Christine!”
“Sophia and Andy are awesome. They sent regular updates and pictures of Max while we were away. Both are very experienced and are able to gauge and took really good care of Max. There are very few instances when Max was away from us in past, Sophie and Andy made him comfortable and gave him love, giving us the peace of mind. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Our Armin enjoyed his almost 2 week stay with Ethel! Ethel kept constant communication with us and was super flexible about the drop off and pick up times. He has separation anxiety but you could tell he really built a healthy bond with her. I appreciate that she was also able to socialize him with her own family’s dogs. I’m so happy to have found someone I trust to care for my baby boy when we are out of town.”
“Ann had kept my 2 dogs at least 3 times this year and she is the absolute best. My pups love her, she has so much experience, and I never have to worry about something happening or going wrong when they are with her. On top of that she is very kind, compassionate and flexible. Can’t wait for our next stay!”
“Linda was so welcoming and responsive. Linda provided updates throughout Winnie’s stay with her. Winnie seem so happy and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Linda.”
“Ian is incredible — very professional, easy to communicate with pre-stay, and took wonderful care of our Leo! Especially appreciate the many many photos he shared, so we could see how much fun he was having!”
“Camilo has been amazing with our dog Momo. From day one, he was reliable, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs of different personalities. He communicates well, shows up on time, and genuinely cares about the dogs he works with, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. Momo always comes back happy, calm, and well exercised after every walk, and it was clear Camilo pays attention to details and routines. You can tell he treats this as a profession, not just a side gig. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and great with dogs, I would absolutely recommend Camilo as both a dog walker and sitter.”
“Marissa took great care of my husky! I highly recommend her! My husky loved her so much. She took lots of pictures and video to make me feel at ease. Marissa took my husky on many walks and let my husky feel at home. She even bought her a toy which I thought was so generous. Thank you so much Marissa I will be a returning customer!”
“She was amazing! I was nervous to leave Ana because I have never left her for longer than a day but Bola did great! She sent me photos everyday and always responded when I texted. Definitely using her again!”
“Doug and Debbie were great with my dog Pucha. Pucha came back happy and relaxed. They kept me updated throughout the stay and treated her with much care. I highly recommend Doug and Debbie.”
“Ania was fantastic and our pup clearly loved spending the weekend with her! She took her to play fetch every day and was flexible with us on our return home. 10/10 would recommend!”

Janeth and her husband were absolutely amazing with Moose! We got so many pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose has lots of anxiety, but he seemed so calm, comfortable, and happy with her. It was clear he was getting lots of love and attention. We couldn't have asked for better care and would definitely book with Janeth again! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for somone who will care for their pet like family!
This is our second time having our dog stay with Barbara. She is amazing, and we feel confident having her care for our doodle. We especially love her amazing communication, the photos ever 3+ times/day, and ease of working with her. Lindey looks forward to her next visit with Barbara!
Since our 2 dogs are seniors (18 & 15) and have special needs, we had to look for a person who understands the challenges of taking care of them. We got lucky with Angelina and how she was able to help take care of our dogs for a week while we were away. She was extremely flexible with learning what works for our dogs, and you could actually see that she cares. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day,on a daily basis, which was very much appreciated! I couldn't recommend her enough, esp if you're looking for a sitter/caregiver that understands seniors and special needs dogs.
Had a meet and greet with Cary and her daughter. Juno immediately leaned into her daughter which was a good sign (picked her person). Cary carefully introduced her to her dog and explained how she would care for Juno. I had to make several changes and Cary was very understanding and accommodating which was a stress reliever for me. I picked up Juno and she was so happy to see me unlike my previous experience with another sitter where Juno appeared to be mad at me (lol). Well Juno has been on the couch resting so I know she had a good time otherwise she wouldn’t be so tired. Cary responded to my text and sent video of Juno. Oh and Juno smelled so good and looked good when I picked her up. I felt that Juno was well taken care of. Thank you Cary (and fam) will definitely be using Cary again!
Jasmin & her pup, Andy, were our dog’s dream come true. Peach was showered with love, play with Andy, time in the beautiful yard, and plenty of walking. Delightful pics and videos were sent daily. Truly the highest quality sitters on the Rover market. Thank you to Jasmin & family!
This was my first time having my dog stay with anyone not family. He immediately got along with Robert and was not anxious. When I picked him up, still upbeat attitude and no signs of distress. I could even hear him barking when I was walking towards the door on pickup day, which means he already considered Robert's place like home and was scaring off strangers 👍🏾. Robert was really easy to talk and coordinate with. He sent me photos if requested. He took the necessary precautions we discussed for my dog-aggressive dog, and didn't seem uncomfortable at any point.
Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
Michelle was prompt in communicating whenever something came up with Bramble that she needed clarification on. She was quick to respond for all the administrative arranging also. She was easy-going and calm. Bramble seemed comfortable being with her. I got daily photos to enjoy. I believe people would be very satisfied and secure leaving their pet with Michelle. I was!
Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!

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.
