“Mary was the best! She took such good care of my Lucy. Made her feel loved and comfortable. It is so comforting to know that my Lucy was so happy with Mary! I will definitely be looking to Mary to watch her again!”
“I left my 15+ year old Jack Russell mix for two weeks. He has anxiety issues, as well as other issues that come with old age. I was concerned about leaving him as I had never left him anywhere before. Theresa was wonderful! Blackie thrived in her care! He slept like a rock, ate like a pig, got to play with other dogs and spend lots of time outdoors in the sun! I wouldn’t think of leaving a dog with anyone else! Thank you!”
“Sumer was so good with my pup! She also sent me pictures about every other day, which really helped set me at ease. She is super sweet, and I will definitely use her again! 💜”
“Mary is awesome! Our dog was accepted and treated as part of her family! My dog would be anxious and glued to me for a week after being boarded. But after staying 3 days with Mary, she is calm and relaxed as if we never left. I could tell she enjoyed her stay by the pics Mary sent me and her demeanor when I picked her up. We will definitely be using Mary every time if she is available!”
“Barbara and her sons was great. I would receive pictures daily and knew she was in good hands, just the way she looked. Miss Molly will enjoy again going back there when I need to go out of town, Thanks again, Jodi”
“As always, Lauren did a wonderful job of watching our Paisley. She is so conscientious and stays in communication while we are gone. Highly recommend! Her daughter is a great help too!”
“Traci provided a wonderful experience for my pup! It was my first time leaving her since I adopted her and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the whole experience. Traci made my girl feel right at home and sent me updates and pictures that really eased any worries I may have had. I will definitely request Traci again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Kaitlyn!! I have 2 big boys 1 is a Doberman and the other is a golden mix. They fight if their in the same room. So was going to have Kaitlyn watch just one of them. When I went to do a meet and greet with my golden. We got to talking and she said she would be willing to take both. She was amazing! I didnt have to worry all weekend long about them because she would send me updates with happy pictures every day. They always looked so happy with all the walks and belly rubs. Highly recommend! I will definitely be going back to her and dropping my other doggie daycare even with a 15 minute extra drive.”
“The best sitters on this app! Absolutely professional in the way of doing things and unbelievably lovely with the dog. I’ve left my pup with them twice and she refuses to leave their place when I pick her back up. Super friendly couple and very much involved in their care towards dogs. Thomas and Emily always accommodated my requests and were super helpful in giving my pups medication too. I would 100% recommend them, the best dog sitters ive come across so far!!!”
“Samantha is such a kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and accommodating dog sitter! She sent me so many wonderful pictures while my pup stayed with her and it was obvious that he got spoiled with attention. She is the best, I cannot say it enough!”
“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”
“Ashlee kept our Sallie Mae for a couple days and was a great experience. Communication was great all the way from scheduling a meet and greet to drop off and pick up. Will use her again for sure.”
“Clarissa really looked after our dog while we were on vacation for 8 days. She picked him up and ripped him off. He came back looking healthy and relaxed. Much better than boarding. Will use her services again in future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Machesney Park
Sheryl and her husband were amazing. We have never kenneled our boys before and we were a little anxious about it. But Sheryl sent us videos and pictures and updated the entire duration of our fur babies stay! We will 100% be using her services again. I’m so thankful for her taking such great care of my boys! ☺️
I felt so comfortable when meeting Sumner the first time. She not only made Amelia love her from the first minute, but she put a seatbelt on Amelia in the car. I received photos several times during the visit! Bottom line is that I will call her again for Amelia to stay.
Sheryl has watched our two Chinese crested' s several times now and she really does a great job caring for them. She has really eased our minds when we go on vacation and treats them like they are her own. I am sure they feel like they are at their own house when they go to visit. She does a great job communicating what they are up to and sends lots of photos so we can see they are doing great. It has been a blessing to have her watch our babies and know they are being treated well. Thank you again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Machesney Park sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Machesney Park landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Machesney Park 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 Machesney Park.
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.
You and your Machesney Park 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 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.
