“Michelle and Christy are so amazing with my boy! He’s pretty timid and slow to open up to people, but he snuggled right up to them. Their house is perfectly set up for dogs, with a huge back yard, and their dogs get along so well with mine! Will definitely use again in the future!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Shayna. She watched our 2 dogs at her house for a week. One of our dogs gets very nervous around new people and can be reactive. He reacted well at our meet and greet and Shayna felt comfortable that he would do well and he did. I felt at ease seeing how well they were doing with her daily updates and pictures. She really treated them like they were her own. We will definitely be using her services again and would highly recommend her to others.”

“Chance was well taken care of. We received daily updates including pictures of Chance. He always looked comfortable and happy which in turn allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing Chance was in good hands. Monica and Dan were excellent and will always be our first choice to keep Chance when we need to be away! We highly recommend Monica and Dan, as long as Chance gets/is given priority status. P.S. Chance will like to potentially request a stay in mid April and late October ?!”

“Megan and her family were wonderful with my puppy. I was apprehensive about leaving my 7 month old puppy, because, well he’s a puppy! Megan was so calming and inviting that I knew she would take great care of him! She kept me updated throughout the whole stay with pictures and texts. I highly recommend and will definitely be using Megan again!”

“After doing a meet and greet with Danielle I felt very comfortable with boarding my dog, Miller with her. I liked that she would provide a cageless and friendly environment for him. Danielle and her family were nice to Miller and enjoyed having him. She was good about following his daily routine and provided a picture to show he was doing fine. She also accommodated us by providing a leash and bags, as we forgot ours. I will definitely board Miller with Danielle again.”

“Barbara was awesome! Unfortunately I booked with a different sitter who subsequently stated she could not watch my dog (Bailey) less than 24 hours after I dropped her off. The sitter stated Bailey was barking frantically and subsequently cancelled shortly before I was supposed to board my international flight with my family early the following morning. For Bailey to be barking frantically is unlike Bailey. Rover subsequently reached out to several sitters on my behalf while I was on my flight and described Bailey as having “separation anxiety” because of what the other sitter stated and “needing plenty of attention and play time”. Unlike to how Bailey was described, Bailey doesn’t bark much and has a calm temperament. My whole flight my family and I were wondering what would happen with Bailey in reference to how she was being described and if she’d be in good hands. Barbara fortunately volunteered for the job and her and I texted briefly while still on my flight because she wanted to know more about Bailey. I advised her that the manner in which the other sitter was describing Bailey was out of character. Barbara subsequently volunteered to pickup Bailey from the other sitter. Once Barbara was with Bailey she sent me a picture and reassured me Bailey was in good hands. Barbara would routinely send me pictures on updates of Bailey throughout the days we were gone. Additionally, Barbara gave Bailey her medicine twice daily for her ear infection. Barbara was great and I would recommend her services.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. My weekdays are mostly spent at home for academic work, and can adjust for drop in visits easily. I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. For all services, I appreciate your tips as you know them the best!

About: I’m almost 19 years young, but I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, I was known as the girl in the neighborhood bringing all the stray animals in! All fur babies deserve care and love just as much as us humans . I have 3 fur babies of my own (shiba inu 2 yrs) (2 cats both almost 1 yr old) I just finished my first year of college ! Also, I am a bilingual teacher assistant at a middle school. I would finish work and head right to afternoon classes. All though that is all over for the summer , I am looking forward to being with fur babies all summer ! I have a huge yard , although not fenced, animals are never let outside without a leash and or harness! Supervision is #1 key ! Also, I have a Shiba Inu and 2 Cats that are friendly to others! I’m always prepared for whatever your fur baby may need ! I look at others as if they were my own! Also my home is one floor but the basement I have is dedicated and decorated specifically for my pets and will not mind letting other fur babies enjoy the fun down there !

He kept me updated every day with how Grimm was doing and I knew Grimm was safe and happy. He made sure Grimm got exercise and all the things a dog needs. I will be using him again. Thank you Yvan!”

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.

Our dog had a wonderful stay with Ginebra! She took great care of him and was very diligent in providing for his needs. He seemed comfortable with her from the first moment we met and was happy and content when we picked him up. She was very accommodating when we asked to change our pick up time. We really appreciated that.I highly recommend Ginebra based on her compassionate care of our fur baby. Thank you Ginebra! We were so blessed to meet you and can’t wait to see you again!

Jennifer was so great. She kept me up-to-date with my fur baby and sent pictures every step of the way. I was really nervous because this was the first time I had left him in a long time but rest assured he was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I definitely will rebook with her.

Lauren was so great to have as a petsitter to my duo, Bear and Teddy! My boys get a bit anxious in new environments but Lauren handled it gracefully and they felt comfortable in no time. I would trust Lauren with my fur babies again in the future.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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 .

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.
