“Angela took great care of my dog and sent a lot of pictures throughout the week. She had a big fenced in yard so my dog and hers were able to play a lot and get her energy out. Will definitely book again.”
About: I had dogs growing up and our family had dogs when the kids were living at home. As seniors, we especially appreciated having senior dogs to care for. I will enjoy getting to know and taking care of your furry family member. I get up about 6:30 am and will let your dog out first thing. Since my yard is fenced in, they can run around and explore to find the best place to go. Then breakfast will be next. We can take a walk in the neighborhood and whenever I have errands to run, I'm happy to have the pup ride along in the car. Being retired but still active, I am able to spend lots of time throughout the day with your dog! Dogs are kept safe by being on a leash with me if we're away from home, either taking a walk in the neighborhood or going for a ride in the car.
“Danielle was amazing with my senior[16] blind husky. All of her huskies are well trained and played very well with my dog. Danielle is very knowledgeable and I trust her to watch my senior husky with no worry. My dog tends to shut down around other people and completely ignore other dogs. When I picked her up she was very happy and playful with the other huskies after a couple days with them”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, all shapes and sizes. I currently own a Husky, his name is Rollo, and a Chihuahua named Yoda. Both of them are age 6 and have been solely in my care since. I understand that every dog has their own personality, especially breeds like huskies. I’m comfortable handling their energy, attitude, and unique needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time but am also in between jobs so my schedule could change. However, because my job schedule can be slightly unpredictable, I will still try my best to help out. The only guaranteed day I cannot do is Monday. I live in a safe quiet environment that offers lots of nearby maintained county trails for dogs to walk in, including enclosed dog parks. My two dogs get along with others extremely well to provide company if wanted.
“Jaime took such good care of my dog during the polar vortex! She updated and sent me pictures. It made being away from my dog a little easier. It felt so good that he wasn’t alone and that he was getting so much love! Thank you, Jaime!”

About: I’m a dog lover and I’ve had dogs all my life. I currently have a yorkie with IBD so I'm experienced in administering medications and caring for special needs pets I’m open to dog sit any day but do work outside the home during the week, I do have the ability to do a mid day break to come back to check on the pups. I live in a very dog friendly apartment with a dog park available for use. I’m here when you need me! I care for dogs with love and treat them as my own. I love animals and would have a whole house full if I could!

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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Matteson can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Matteson 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 Matteson.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Matteson. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Matteson 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 MI 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
