“Heather was incredible!! Stanley stayed in her home for 23 days and he had the best time! We got frequent photo updates of him getting treated with so much love and care, it gave us great peace of mind while we travelled. I can't recommend boarding with Heather enough!”
About: I have fostered for 8 years now off and on- dogs and cats. I love getting to know each new animal's personality and what works for them! I work full time during the week but am home on the weekends while my partner is gone on the weekends and home two days during the week. I have a fully fenced backyard for potty time and to enjoy some sun. My home's main floor is baby gated to give everyone time away from each other if they need a break or just some one on one time!
“Darcie was wonderful with our dog, Remi! She sent us lots of photos with updates throughout his stay and we felt completely at peace knowing that she was taking care of him while we were out of town.”
“Erica was wonderful. She had us meet her to go over details before the actual stay. She was very thorough and wanted to know all about my dog’s typical day. Her goal was for him to be as comfortable as possible. Her backyard is fenced and her home is neat and tidy. It was a very warm and cozy environment for my dog to settle into while he was there. She sent me some pictures of him and checked in with me so I knew everything was going well. I felt 100% confident that he was well taken care of!”
About: Hi, I'm Rochelle! I'm an animal lover with a lifelong passion for animal welfare and more than 8 years of professional pet-sitting experience. Throughout my career, I've worked in animal welfare in several capacities, including as an Assistant Director of a no-kill animal shelter, veterinary assistant, and alongside professional trainers and wildlife rehabilitators. I've worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, backgrounds, and needs, giving me experience recognizing behavior, understanding body language, and providing thoughtful, individualized care. My experience extends well beyond cats and dogs. I've also worked on a 200-acre farm in Tennessee caring for chickens, cows, ducks, and pigs, and have experience working with wildlife. I'm professionally trained to administer oral and injectable medications to cats, dogs, farm animals, and wildlife, and I'm pet CPR certified. **What's new? I'm now working exclusively from home!** This means much greater flexibility and the ability to provide more consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet is a social butterfly, a couch potato, a little more particular about their people, or has special care requirements, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I currently care for several wonderful recurring pet-sitting clients and am looking forward to welcoming more families and their pets. For me, pet sitting has never just been a side gig. Getting to know an animal, earning their trust, and building a bond with them is genuinely one of my favorite things. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them accordingly. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged (or feathered!) family members! I work exclusively from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, medication, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. I can accommodate pets who need more frequent attention, consistent routines, or a little extra care. I prioritize keeping your pet's normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your time away feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible for your pet. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the center of how I care for every animal. With my professional background in animal welfare, veterinary care, and behavior, I'm attentive to body language, stress signals, environmental safety, and each pet's individual needs. In a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines and environment, following all care instructions closely, and treating their home with the same respect I would my own. I'm mindful of secure doors, gates, leashes, feeding areas, and potential household hazards. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I take a low-stress, individualized approach to handling and care, using Fear Free techniques and cooperative care principles. I never force interactions and understand the importance of respecting boundaries, especially with shy, anxious, fearful, or under-socialized animals. Whether it's administering medication, caring for a senior pet, building trust with a timid cat, or keeping an energetic pup entertained, I approach every visit with patience, experience, and attention to detail. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment.
“We used Kara and her family for a 2 day overnight stay. We have nothing but the best to say about Kara and her sweet family. Our 5 month old puppy enjoyed his time there and we will definitely use them again!!!”
“Booked Katie last minute and had an immediate response. She was very welcoming with our Marty and immediately felt like home. In fact our dog barely wanted to come back with us. Strongly recommend.”
“Sarah was accommodating for our last minute booking. When we met she was very thorough on showing me around, and did a meet a greet with our dogs , which went awesome! Sarah kept communication with me as well as I received daily pictures that reassured us our furr baby was in good hands. I definitely recommend and will be booking again! Thank you Sarah”
About: Hello! I have experience with generally small/medium dogs. I grew up and cared for my lil yorkshire terrier, named Tommy throughout most of my youth. He received all the snuggles, belly rubs, yard play, and walks! Enjoying his best life with loved ones.. Once he passed, I have always wanted to keel fur ones around with how much joy they brought into my life! Rover was the best match for my current lifestyle. I recently moved into a new townhome and traveling every so often, I did not want to commit with my own fur baby just yet. This app allows me to love and care for pets as my own but without the long term commitment. Please know your pet will be loved as if it was my own and will be given all the snuggles and attention. With flexible availability, I hope to make your pet at home when you're not able to be there! I work from home Monday-Friday, so will be available to take out your pet throughout the day for potty breaks that works with their normal routine. I am able to take them out for longer walks during my lunch time, and also after work. You can trust that I will give your pet all the love and attention as if it was my own. Play toys, give them treats (if allowed), bring them on walks! I do live in a townhome, but am available at home everyday and will be able to take them out frequently.
About: I am also a dog parent and have been for over 12 years. My fur babies consume most my days and why not spread the happiness! I have walked and cared for others here in town and have been given great compliments and encouragement to help others thru this app since it's convenient and trusted! My routine mostly revolves around my fur babies. Morning we spend 2.5 -3 hours exercising exploring and making friends. Afternoon and night time another 30-45 min each one for potty and walk. It'll be very easy to include your pups they'll love the activities and best of all find some of what they're looking for 💚 In home ... each have bed/ room/ crate to be in. In your home i will care for your pet as you requested. Feeding the amount as per pet parent, meds or crate as per owner request
“First time user of this app can't say enough good things about McKenzie! She took amazing care of Yoda, my French bulldog service animal, while I was away. I was a little nervous leaving him, but she kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time, which put my mind at ease. It's clear she really loves dogs and knows how to care for them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! She took Yoda on short notice commutation was on point thanks so much !!!”
About: I am college student who is pursuing their dream of becoming a Veterinary Technician. After my schooling, I want to further my education and become an animal behavioralist and dog groomer. I used to clean houses for my mother's business. From time-to-time people would ask if we could watch their pets while they were away. We took this opportunity! Who wouldn't? I have experience in nail trimming and some grooming too. I also like to keep the home tidy while owners are away. Whether that is for a day or a week! A clean home and a clean pet! What is better than that?! Your needs will be met along with your animals. If they want belly rubs, they get it! If they want to go for a walk, we do it! I attend college but in between classes or days I have off, I make room for animals who need to be cared for. No matter the circumstance, I will be there for your pet! I care for the well-being of anyone's pets. If they need a bath, they get a bath (at the extent of your permission). If they are rambunctious, they can have a ball outside for a walk with me! If they need love and attention, they can get all the snuggles they want!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Moline
This was my first experience with ROVER and trusting someone to watch Boss. I had a family emergency back in NY so I had to make a decision. I feel blessed that I landed on Corinna's site. I could tell that she loved animals and she welcome Boss right away. Corinna provided pictures, text, and a short movie clip to keep me worry free. I would highly recommend Corinna for all your pet needs.
Heather is just a dream to have around for our dog sitting needs. Our golden is desperate for 'her people', and leaving her with Heather completely reduces everyone's travel anxiety. Our girl comes home wiped out from all her cuddles and adventures, we so appreciate all the care that Heather brings to them.
My baby boy stayed with Cathleen while I attended a function. From the very beginning, I could see a special love and dedication to her dog care. Tootie immediately went over to Cathleen and her dog. Tootie appeared comfortable and right at home. These are the things I look for when my baby boy stays with a family. Cathleen sent many pictures and kept me updated throughout the day and evening. I loved that! Cathleen is an asset to Rover!
First time Rover user and it was a great experience. Heather was so accomodating and lovely to work with. My pup made herself "right at home" and Heather sent pupdates and pics throughout the week. My 6 year old dog seemed at ease and didn't go through the decompression period usually required after being boarded at the kennel. I'll definitely book with Heather again!
Great experience! They were accommodating for our drop off and pick up, and sent pictures and videos so we could see what our pup was up to while we were away. I'm certain our doggo had so much fun with them (and their pups) we were only missed about 5 minutes in the 8 days we were gone. Highly recommend and will certainly book again.
Peaches enjoyed her stay with Jill. Jill asked question to ensure she knew a bit about Peaches-her routines and preferences. We received update texts and pictures. Peaches was well cared for and ready for a nap when we got home. Definitely will use Jill for boarding again!

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.
95% of sitters in Moline 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 Moline 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 Moline.
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 Moline. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Moline 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.
