“Valentina was amazing!! She made our pup feel right at home. She sent pictures and updates daily—so that we always knew our puppy was having a good time. Thank you, Valentina!!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“We were very happy to find Susan on Rover to watch our 13 year old dog, Java. She and her husband (and dog Duncan) made Java feel right at home! We got regular photos and updates while we were away, and Java didn’t look like she was missing us at all. We would definitely book with Susan again. Thank you!”
“Robert did a great job with Tater. I loved the pic and video showing Tater playing with the other dogs and relaxing. He got a lot of love and cuddles while I was away. I am really happy to have connected with Robert and his dogs so quickly. It was the perfect match for Tater.”
“Justine was extremely generous with her time and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog who is 15 years old and blind. I did not want our dog to be in a setting with too many other dogs which would make him nervous and on top of that he takes medications. This was a family style setting and Justine and her family treated my dog like family. That’s the best quality experience you could ask for.”
“We would like to thank a lot Kristina for taking care of our dogs . Looks like they have great time there being taking care all time . Kristina have great space and patience for dogs so they can feel like they home away from home. Thanks again. We'll definitely use your help again.”
“We had another great experience with Will caring for our dog during a short weekend getaway! So glad he was available. Quick, responsive and clear communication. Super attentive care. Our dog, Jackie, was happy to stay with Will again. Definitely plan to book him again.”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Sana is a caring and attentive sitter. Latte was very well taken care of during his stay. We could tell he was happy every day, especially getting to walk and play with his good friend Bella. Highly recommend!! 💕”
“My usual sitter had an emergency & had to cancel on us. I found Rover.com & Edgar came to our rescue!! He was extremely accommodating with last minute plans for our two pups!! He has a beautiful fenced back yard & family that also helped to make our fur babies feel more at home. I could tell from update photos & messages daily that my boys were being well taken care of. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Edgar & fam ❤️”
“Moki loved his time with David and Mary. He has got comfortable with them really quick. This is the second time they have sat Moki and he was really happy too see them again.”
“Oliwia took such a good care of Milo and I’m glad I found her for his stay for the weekend. She provided me with a lot of pictures while they were having fun and going out. Definitely will reach out to here again for next time. Thank you !”
“Steph was awesome! This was my first experience with Rover and I have a Boykin Spaniel, which is a 16 month old 40lb high energy hunting machine. She excepted the challenge and treated Kola like he was her own. Very pleased with the whole experience and Steph. I took a fly-in fishing to the northern woods of Canada and due to fires and bad weather in the area had to extend my stay for an additional two days up there because the float plane couldn't come get us. Steph rearranged her schedule to accommodate me. I didn't expect her to do that but greatly appreciate her for doing so. I highly recommend Steph, will use her again in the future (that is if she'll let me LOL).”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Donna was such life saver! She was able to sit Bella for me me during a very hectic move and a busy work schedule. She was incredibly accommodating and took great care of Bell. I highly recommend her. Thanks again Donna, I truly appreciate you.”
“Vicki and her family are very passionate as to the care of the fur babies (all included). All the doggies are treated as their own. I love getting the pictures of playtime and rest time showing how loved and how well they are cared for. Their dog gets along really well with Daisy as well as others (I’ve seen first hand). Vicki is extremely friendly, attentive and flexible. I trust her completely with Daisy’s care. 🐾”
“Prithvi and Varun were truly great!! This was our first time using Rover, and we were unsure of the whole process. Prithvi walked us through everything, we had a great meet and greet, and they were so responsive. We just finished our booking and every day we got updates and pictures, and immediate responses. I felt so comfortable having my dog with them, and plan on using them again. Very positive and great experience!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Medinah
Molly's first time boarding, and we couldn't be happier! She got to play with lots of dog friends, and the video updates made it easy to relax while we were away. The complimentary grooming for first-time boarding customers was a really nice surprise, and Molly came home happy and fresh. We'll definitely book again. Highly recommend!
10/10 No notes. This was our first time on Rover and several years since we've placed our senior with a unfamiliar sitter/boarding location. Needless to say, we were nervous. Bonnie put our minds at ease: noting any concerns up front, answering my silly questions during meet-and-greet, daily updates with photos, and honest feedback at pick-up. Turns out that our old man, who generally prefers humans, found the right environment to play like a pup with younger dogs again! Bonnie is now at the top of our list for future Lucky-care.
This is our 2nd time leaving our Brownie with Allis. She is very attentive, professional yet playful and caring with our dog and also very responsive. From updates and pictures every day to quick messages back. We know he is in great hands when he is with her.
Robert did a great job with our weimaraner Geddy. He gave him lots of good exercise and worked with Geddy’s quirks. Robert kept us updated throughout our trip. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely plan to use him in the future. Thanks for everything Robert.

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 Medinah home-away-from-home, 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 Medinah.
<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 Medinah 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 , 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 .
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.
