“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our little guy! We booked her last minute and she was so accommodating. She sent great pictures while we were away, which is always so appreciated. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Jasmine was one of the best dog sitters I’ve had in the Rover group. It is evident she is an experienced dog sitter as well as owner. She was caring and sensitive to all the particular needs and and concerns of my dog. I felt comfortable and confident in having Freddy in her care.”
“Susan is the best! Richie loves staying at her house. Susan is great at keeping Richie’s routine and giving him his medicine. She also has been flexible when I’ve needed it. I also appreciate the cute pics and daily updates. I highly recommend Susan to take care of your pup!”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Coco. She gave me updates on how he was doing throughout his stay. She responded very quickly to all of my messages and questions. I will definitely utilize Natalie’s services in the future and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”
About: Hi, I’m Haley, my dog skipper and I work from home. I have the space and would love to host dogs in our home. Skipper is a huge fan of sleepovers and I love all dogs! I work from home so aside from meetings (occasionally offsite) I’m typically home and have a big yard for dogs to enjoy! I also love to take walks and trip to the park if the dog enjoys it! Any dog in my house becomes a member of the family, they’re allowed to sleep in bed with me or lounge on the furniture. I have a huge fenced in yard for them to roam in and provide frequent walks for exercise.
“We LOVE Ruben!! Our puppy can definitely be a handful but somehow Ruben was able to make her feel comfortable enough in his home to not bark and to snuggle! We love knowing that our puppy was in safe hands and got to enjoy playing with Ruben’s dogs as well! We will definitely be calling Ruben for all future boardings! In addition to Ruben being awesome, his mom made us the sweetest card and sent Aya home with 2 new toys!”
“LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER and so does Mac!! She was patient helpful and gentle with my brat. He seemed very comfortable and happy with her. Definitely recommend!”
“Cary is amazing. I was updated daily with pictures and my dogs look so happy ! I was a nervous wreck leaving them because this is the first time I’ve boarded them. But that fear is gone and I will definitely be booking again during my next getaway.”
“Had such a great first experience on Rover booking with Kyla! My dog is a newer foster fail so i didn’t have too much knowledge of how she would be while we were away but Kyla kept me informed every day. She even went the extra mile when my dog got sick and took care of her better than i could have expected. Will definitely book again!”
“Thank you Barbara for always taking such good care of our pup, Dallas! Barbara and Chewie are the absolute best and Dallas can’t wait for his next stay. Thanks again!”
“Kae is amazing ! She has extensive knowledge of caring for multiple breeds of dogs. She did well caring for my Pitbull; he enjoyed her spacious back yard. She also sent me a bunch of cute pictures of him enjoying his stay. Will rebook in the future”
“I'm thrilled to share my positive experience with Jacqueline, our sweet dog sitter! She came through for me last minute, taking excellent care of our furry Julius overnight. Her dedication and attention to detail made us feel at easy. I highly recommend her services – she is reliable and caring! 🫶🫶”
“Tabitha is the best. Have recommended her to friends. Our pup basically has a fun filled vacation of her own every time we go on our human vacations. Tabitha takes great pics too!”
“Angel has been nothing but incredible. I have brought my dog to him 3 times now and every time it is a smooth drop off/pick-up process. He treats my dog incredibly well and will continue to use Angel moving forward.”
About: I’ve taken care and interacted with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I dote and love my 2 pemwelsh corgis and your family members will receive the same attention and respect that my do. I have successfully fostered dogs as well. I currently work full time but am alloted a flexible schedule to maintain my dogs. Daily routines are not easily broken and are steadily maintained. Walks, regular outdoor & indoor playtime, interactive feedings. All are used to meet the physical and mental needs of pets. My typical hours of operations for receiving & responding to inquiries are 6am-8pm. My home has a fenced in yard and we are located in a quiet safe neighborhood. Situated near both our regular veterinary and emergency veterinary. My two dogs are very welcoming and friendly to new friends.
“I was a very nervous dog mom & they made me reassured he would do fine and he did. He had a great time there and they gave him lots of love and attention. I will definitely use these sitters again. Thanks”

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!
Barbara is a kind hearted person who is very understanding of the travails of a senior dog. She took great care of our dog for which we are so grateful. She sent pictures and comments regularly so we knew how our dog was doing. I would highly recommend Barbara, particularly for senior dogs.
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!
Janeth took such great care of my senior dog while we were away for a few days. I appreciated that she sent me updates and I was able to relax knowing my dog was comfortable and in a calm environment. I would absolutely recommend Janeth and would definitely board with Janeth again!
Alicia, was an outstanding host for our pups.she met us at a park before booking to get to know the dogs and had me over to her place so I could see where they would stay. I have two bigger dogs and one is a senior. She gave meds no problem. One of the pups was feeling sick from the extreme heat. She was quick to switch to a mild diet to keep him comfortable. She updated daily with photos and videos of how they were doing. I am not sure that you will find a more conscientious, loving, and communicative pet sitter. She was amazing.
Athena is BEYOND WONDERFUL. I was driving into Chicago from out of town, only about 90 minutes away from dropping my pups off with their original sitter when he had to cancel. Immediately, I went into solution mode, scrambling to find someone to care for my three babies. Athena responded promptly and swooped in to help on extremely short notice. Athena was trustworthy, sent lots of photo updates, and my pups took to her right away. They clearly enjoyed exploring her fenced backyard and seemed completely comfortable in her care. When I picked them up, we talked for quite a while, and I was so grateful that she answered the call when I needed help. She is truly a kind soul with a sweet spirit, and I genuinely feel like God placed her on our path. She is so loving and treats my babies like they are on vacation; I call her home Disney World! 🤣

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.
