“Barbara was absolutely amazing with my dog! Throughout the stay, she kept me completely reassured with frequent updates, photos, and videos. It was so clear how much genuine love and passion she has for what she does, and my pup warmed up to her immediately. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking with Barbara again!”

“Susan was awesome! My husband is extremely particular about the dog. I’m actually shocked he agreed to leave him with a stranger. It could not have gone any better! Susan took Jack for lots of walks and she and her husband even took him on the boat! We got lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing. We definitely hope she’s available to watch Jack next time we travel!”

“We can’t say enough good things about Tanya! She was an absolute lifesaver—stepping in at the last minute after our original sitter canceled unexpectedly. Not only was she incredibly accommodating with our late booking, but she also welcomed our dog into her home like family. Tanya’s photo updates were amazing—seriously, she has a real talent for capturing those joyful, candid moments that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from every tail-wagging picture just how happy and comfortable our pup was in her care. Thank you, Tanya, for your kindness, flexibility, and top-tier care! We’ll absolutely be booking with you again.”

“It was great to to get Bubba pics emailed to us while we were gone. He clearly had fun running with the big dogs! Jessica takes great care introducing newbies to the pack; she spends time to check out every dog's behavior toward the others. Her home is spotless--better than mine! I know Bubba had a great time because he was not anxious to leave. He was more "Hi, how are ya, can I stay here more?" We'll be back!”

It gave us such peace of mind knowing our boys were in good hands. We truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave them and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”

“Angel was amazing with taking care of my doggos. Bailey has extremely high separation anxiety and is very destructive when left alone and Angel accommodated Bailey’s needs their entire visit which put me at ease. Drop off and pick up was super easy and she also kept me updated on how Bailey and DJ were doing throughout my trip (pics and vids included). Both of my pups were sad on the car ride home bc of how attached they got to Angel and her boyfriend’s amazing personalities and gentleness! I look forward to rebooking with her!”

About: Growing up with dogs means dog-sitting comes naturally! We love all dogs and promise to treat them just like family. From nightly belly rubs to outdoor walks, we cover it all! With a cozy home and walkable community, your pets will feel right at home. We’re very comfortable providing medications or making other accommodations for your pet’s needs. With a work from home schedule, one, or often both of us, are home most of the day! Your fur baby will receive constant attention, supervision, 1-on-1 attention, and a low-stress home for your dog 🐶 We know how important your pets are to you because we feel the same way about ours. Leaving your furry family member with someone else can be stressful, so our goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your pet. Your pet will be cared for in a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. We take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. We believe trust starts with communication. We’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re happy and well cared for. Whether your pet loves to cuddle, play, explore, or simply relax nearby, we’re happy to give them the attention and affection they need. Most importantly, we want every pet in our care to feel like part of the family. ❤️ Our home is a place where pets can feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away.

“Carla was great. Fin was good company with her dog, and Carla sent me periodic photos of Fin being comfortable and well cared for. Fin is just under 16, and is very old and slow at this point. Carla even carried Fin up stairs at nights so that he could sleep in their bedroom with their dog, rather than alone by himself downstairs. Carla also gave fin his morning meds with his food. Thank you, Carla!”

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 Malta 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 Malta.

<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 Malta 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.
