“Sarai, her dog, and her family helped our dog feel very welcome. Teddy showed no hesitation and fit right in. We were sent regular videoclips and photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind. She even sent him home with a toy and a coat for when the weather got cold. I highly recommend Sarai”
“We had a wonderful experience with Janeth! She sent me daily photos and updates, which gave our family so much peace of mind while we were away. From the pictures, it was obvious how much love and attention our dog was getting—there were hugs, kisses, playtime outside, and a very happy pup in every photo. What really stood out was her flexibility and kindness when our return flight was cancelled and rebooked for the next day due to weather. She graciously cared for our dog an extra day without hesitation. She even provided her door code so we could pick him up at a time that worked with our delayed travel schedule. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we never had to worry while we were gone. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our Cookie with Ann. Ann sent pics and updates to us on how Cookie was doing. Ann was great and I would definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“She was absolutely amazing and took great care of our girls. She sent daily updates with photos, followed all instructions carefully, and loved our babies like her own. She is a fantastic dog mom!”
“Michelle is a LIFE SAVER! After Elmhurst Animal Hospital wrongfully canceled my boarding reservations at the last minute, I scrambled to find someone to watch my 3 small dogs. I found Michelle and she was quick to respond and accept my fur babies for the stay! Michelle and her 2 little girls took AMAZING care of them, sending update reports and pics too. This gave me peace of mind that they were being well cared for! Michelle was also very accommodating when I needed to drop them off early than originally scheduled. I will definitely be utilizing Michelle's services again in the future!”
“Guillermina accepted our booking at the last minute and took very good care of our Husky-Shepherd mix, Cannon, with love. She sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away. Cannon had lots of fun and came back all happy! Guillermina is the best!! Thank you so much, Guillermina! We are so grateful we found you :)”
“Sarah was a great host, our dog Sammy had a wonderful time. She was caring, sent constant updates, and supported him as he adjusted to her home. I highly recommend!”
“Thank you again Kayla for having my Lady girl for the weekend! Kayla does a great job caring for my pup and keeping me in the loop on how she is doing. I never have to worry about Lady being in good hands.”
“I cannot thank Manuel enough for being so flexible and patient with my delayed travel. He took wonderful care of my Kit as usual and even helped extra with Kit’s allergy flare. Manuel is a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter and I cannot express how thankful I am once again to have had Kit in his care.”
“Susseth took our last minute booking. She was very kind to our spoiled boy and provided pictures and videos throughout his stay with her. She was on time for an early pick up. We are always nervous boarding our little guy because he came back with a broken foot after being boarded before. He looked happy and healthy on his return. We would recommend susseth for anyone looking to board their pet.”
“We're always confident leaving our dog with Brian whenever we're out of town! Lots of updates with photos and Jack loves hanging out in Brian's backyard. We also appreciate how attentive Brian is during thunderstorms (Jack is terrified of them).”
“She was awesome in every since. Her customer svc, the handling of my pet and she communicated well as to my pets day. I really enjoyed her svc and will be utilizing her in the future.”
“Luna tends to be scared of new people but she seemed to have such a good time! Happy with the care she received and was glad to have picture and video updates daily!”
“Archer seemed relaxed at happy after his stay with Gary and his dogs. Gary addressed any concerns I had with his first time stay with the pack and I felt at ease leaving him for a few days. I would reuse Gary as a sitter for Archer when that time comes around again.”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Harlem had the best time with Haley and Skipper. He got to play in the yard, go to the dog park, and he got lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I received numerous photos and videos each and every day, and it let me enjoy my trip without worrying one bit about his well being. Haley is the absolute best person to care for any dog.”
“Jaqueline was super accommodating when my partner and I needed a last minute sitter for our high energy dog. We were worried about her being around other dogs, but she and Casper had zero issues together. Jacqueline sent us photos throughout our 10 day trip and provided updates that really made us feel okay leaving her with someone, especially since she has anxiety issues. She calmed down after only a day or so and felt very comfortable with Jacqueline. We would definitely rebook with her if we need another sitter.”
“Dezmond took fantastic care of our pup! He was very communicative and asked thoughtful questions to ensure he provided the best, safe environment for her. Monse and Dez were patient as she warmed up and got comfortable in their home. She left happy and exhausted from playing with Dez’s pups!”
“Ryan was wonderful with Annie. He took her on frequent walks in the park, and he send photos throughout the week. She was very happy and got lots of exercised - she took a long nap after getting home! He was great, and we will definitely be using him again. It makes vacation much more relaxing knowing that Annie is loved and cared for while we’re gone.”

Barbara is a very sweet and caring individual. We received multiple daily updates plus numerous photos on how Sunny was doing. Barbara truly has a gift in caring for animals. When we got back and went to pick up Sunny, Sunny ran back to Barbara and gave her a hug. Top notch all the way. We will definitely use Barbara again.
Janeth and her husband were absolutely amazing with Moose! We got so many pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Moose has lots of anxiety, but he seemed so calm, comfortable, and happy with her. It was clear he was getting lots of love and attention. We couldn't have asked for better care and would definitely book with Janeth again! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for somone who will care for their pet like family!
Jacqueline was absolutely amazing. She helped us with our dog while we were traveling for my brother’s wedding. We last minute needed a dog sitter and Jacqueline jumped right in to help us. She was kind, communicative and our dog was in great hands with her. If we lived in the area we would have 100% booked her again
Since our 2 dogs are seniors (18 & 15) and have special needs, we had to look for a person who understands the challenges of taking care of them. We got lucky with Angelina and how she was able to help take care of our dogs for a week while we were away. She was extremely flexible with learning what works for our dogs, and you could actually see that she cares. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day,on a daily basis, which was very much appreciated! I couldn't recommend her enough, esp if you're looking for a sitter/caregiver that understands seniors and special needs dogs.
Lauren has taken care of my dog Kylo, three times and I couldn't be happier with her care. Lauren is an amazing dog sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving Kylo with her. Since Kylo is diabetic it is especially important that he stays on his feeding schedule and receives his insulin injections on time, and Lauren is incredibly responsible and attentive to his needs. She provides multiple updates throughout the day, including pictures, detailed messages and even Wooftrax updates so I know how long his walks are. Kylo is very comfortable with her, and she does such a wonderful job of making him feel safe and cared for. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a trustworthy and caring dog sitter for our baby. We truly appreciate everything Lauren does for our precious pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.
Corey took fabulous care of Steven, provided excellent communication and amusing updates, paid close attention to instructions and even brushed Steve's poodle hair. From the moment we met him at the meet-and-greet we were confident Steve would be well cared for. You can put Corey on your trusted sitter list.
Our dog, Waffles, has been staying with Regan for over 5 years and he always has the best time! Regan is wonderful to work with and we know that Waffles is always well taken care of and having a great time when he’s there. She’s our go to anytime we can’t bring him on our adventures!
Selene took wonderful care of our dog, Peanut! She sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Peanut was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her attentiveness and kindness, and we would absolutely trust her with Peanut again. Highly recommend!
Julliana and her family did an amazing job at taking care of our dog Cooper!! She provided wonderful photos and updates everyday, and it was easy for me to tell that Cooper was well taken care of and that he was having a great time! Along with that, she was extremely accommodating when our flight back to Chicago was canceled and Cooper had to spend an extra night. We will definitely recommend her to anyone else and will be sending Cooper to her house again!
Sandra was absolutely wonderful in taking care of Ellie! From our initial meeting to the final pickup, everything was seamless and stress-free. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and made sure Ellie was happy and comfortable throughout. We truly appreciate her care and attention. Thank you, Sandra—We will definitely use your service again!

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 McCook 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 McCook.
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 McCook 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.
