“Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, loving and caring for them all my life. I’ve handled a variety of breeds, providing everything from baths to nail trims. Each pet receives the care and attention they deserve. Caring for these pets is not just my passion, it’s also my full-time commitment. I’ll have plenty of time to give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve every single day I provide a safe and secure environment in my home, where I have a sweet, calm puppy and a shy kitten. I can also offer park outings if the client desires.
“5 Stars! This is the second time Kathleen has come through for us on a very last second basis with no problem whatsoever!! She was more than happy to watch our elderly lab both times. She is extremely reliable, flexible, loving and affordable! Her and her family take such great care of your fur babies while you're away. She is so quick to respond and sends pictures and updates daily. I can't say enough good things about Kathleen and the wonderful work that she does taking care of dogs in her home so families can have peace of mind while they are away. We've found our forever sitter :> :)”
“Felicia took great care of our Golden Retriever! Her dogs were wonderful company for sweet canine. She also sent us video updates which were very appreciated. Will be returning to Felicia in the future!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing find on Rover! Starting from the meet and greet, she was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be more pleased with how well she took care of our baby girl Sophie! From updates including pictures to flexibility when we made it home early from a road trip, she made the experience so easy! I would definitely use Elizabeth again ?”

I treat every dog like my own—providing a safe and happy environment while you’re away. Whether your dog needs daily walks, playtime, cuddles, or administering medication, I’ve got you covered. I'm home all day every day as a dedicated dog mom. No other work or children in the home to distract me from providing your dog with care and attention. I care for one dog at a time in addition to my Bella. Dogs are never left home alone. Our home is a haven for small dogs. Every room has cozy chairs, blankets and pillows along with natural light and fresh air for dogs to enjoy. Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a large, safe fenced in yard. The fence is solid with absolutely no gaps for little ones to squeeze through.
“As usual a great service! they helps us a lot. This time we use their boarding service because my wife was going to give birth. They were as always extremely kind and understanding with Lucas and Max's delivery and pick up times.”
About: 🐾 Senior Dog Experience 🐾 Puppy Experience 🐾 Reactive Dog Experience 🐾 Anxious Dog Experience 🐾 Training & Coaching Experience Whether your dog is super anxious, super chill, extra bossy, extra playful, or just needs someone who truly gets it- I offer experienced and thoughtful care that adapts to their individual personality. From enrichment games to slow warmups, and athletic activity to assisted mobility, I meet your dog where they are physically and support them emotionally. Great with high energy, nervous, and special need dogs, but I welcome all temperaments! You'll always get detailed notes and they’ll always get real connection. No guesswork, no missed meds, no rushed visits. Just reliable, behavior-savvy care for dogs and their big feelings.

I never use crates unless asked to, and your dog will be treated like one of my own— spoiled, safe, and seen.
“Kristen was very responsive and thorough with her questioning of Zuko's preferences and needs. She followed up once a day as we agreed and it seemed like my doggo enjoyed his time there.”
“My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.”
“Marleigh seemed to enjoy his stay with Christina! From the moment she opened the door I felt comfortable leaving my dog in Christina’s care. Her home was clean, she was pleasant, and had a plan of slowly introducing the dogs to one another. She sent the perfect amount of photos to reassure me that Marleigh was safe and sound in her care. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Vanessa is a phenomenal pet sitter who exemplifies professionalism, care, and passion. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and loving caregiver for their furry family members. She's an absolute gem and has earned my trust and appreciation completely.”
“I want to start by saying I’m no stranger to dog sitters. I’ve been in need for someone to watch my dog many of times and in the past, my sitters have all been pretty good. However, when it comes to Pallvi, I have to say she was absolutely exceptional!! Plenty of checkins thought the sitting, very understanding on pick up and drop off timing, and super competitive pricing! Easily one of the best sitters I’ve gone with this far and I’ll admit I don’t plan on using any other sitter besides her in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! 10/10!!! 😊❤️💯”
“Wonderful experience! This was our first time using a dog sitter, and John and his family made the entire process completely stress free. They kept me updated throughout the day, took great care of our dog, and there were no issues at all. I would definitely recommend John to any pet owner.”
“Jackie was great! She loved on my little guy while we were away and kept us connected with regular updates and pictures. I could see he was happy and well loved the entire time!! Thank you so much!!”
“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.”
“I can always trust Diana with our fur baby! He feels right at home when he stays at Diana and Brian’s. Thank you for being a trusted caretaker and friend!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
96% of sitters in Millington 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 Millington 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 Millington.
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 Millington. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 Millington 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.
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.
