“I cannot say enough good things about Susan! We had a change in plans before a trip and needed a last minute sitter and she could not have been a better match. She was super responsive, sent tons of photos and updates, and was more than accommodating! She treated our dog like family and we will definitely be coming back”
“My dogs are a pair that only get along with each other. They had not been cared for out of our home or by a total stranger. She kept them in their own "space" while other pets came in for day time a few hours day care. They were taken good care of and the one who had "upset stomach" before I left came home with the problem 80% resolved. I can now take a vacation for a week or two and have peace of mind and heart. ”
“Susseth M. Was awesome. She took care of Lola like I would. No worries. She sent pics everyday and let me know how Lola was doing. This was the second time Lola stayed with her and she was well taken care of I’ll be using Susseth on my next trip. Thank you again”
About: I’ve dog sat for a very long time. I also am a very active person and have always enjoyed meeting new dogs. I will treat your dog as my own. Im very flexible and will always make time. I can provide overnight care, walks and really anything you need. I will always make sure your dog gets the care it needs. Your pets safety, fun, comfort is the more important thing I care about when taking care of your pet. It will be clean and more than enough room to play.
“Best experience ever. I was extremely nervous about leaving my dog at first, but Latasha made me feel comfortable. She was able to accommodate my last minute booking and sent photo updates throughout.”
“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”
“Clarissa was so amazing with rotini! She went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well and having a great time. Her dog, Rue, was the perfect playmate for my dog. Would rebook with her anytime!”
“Courtney (and her family) are the best! Leo always has a great time and comes back to us happy. The constant communication about how he is doing is always appreciated. Thank you!”
About: Every pet has feelings, a unique personality, and a need to feel loved. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding and watching animals. It’s about making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and attention, taking the time to understand their needs and make them feel at home. Your pet deserves more than a sitter. They deserve someone who truly cares. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I strive to maintain your pet’s usual routine while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide pet care exclusively in my own home, which has a fenced-in yard where pets can enjoy outdoor time under supervision. I also have a friendly small dog, and I understand that meeting a new dog can take time. I’ll make introductions slowly and patiently, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort and keeping a close eye on their interactions. I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and welcome. My goal is to provide a clean, loving environment where your furry friend can enjoy a true home away from home while you’re away.
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“Our dog Rocky had a great time with Kristine and her adorable dog Blue. Kristine gave us updates about how Rocky is doing with pictures and video. Definitely recommend her and will use her service again. We appreciate her taking care of Rocky.”
“Eleanor did a fantastic job caring for our senior dog who needed medication administered at specific times. She was pro-active about getting an understanding of our pet’s physical limitations, and clearly made an effort to make sure his stay was comfortable and safe. Eleanor has the kind of experience and ease with dogs that should make any perspective client comfortable with leaving their pet in her care.”
“Parker quickly became comfortable at Laura’s and enjoyed several days there while we were out of town. Laura sent us pics several times to reassure us that Parker was a happy pup! We’ll definitely call on Laura again.”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
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.
