“Our dog had a wonderful day with Donna and her dog, which included plenty of outdoor play. Donna is patient, calm, and genuinely cares about dogs. We are happy that we found Donna and are looking forward to more visits in the near future.”
“So incredible! She is very attentive and responsive! We got video and photo updates throughout the day which made me know our dogs were well taken care of! Our dogs came home happy and tired! There is honestly nothing better than that. Cannot recommend Vanessa enough!!”
“Thank you so much for making my first experience with Rover so easy and awesome. Bob had such a great time and clearly got lots of love all day. I know he looks forward to coming back! See you again soon!”
About: I Take a Personalized Approach and Maintain Constant Communication I don’t treat all pets the same. I carefully assess the behavior of each animal, understanding that an adult dog has different needs than an energetic puppy or a shy cat. Before accepting any booking, I conduct a detailed consultation to learn about your pet’s routine, fears, favorite activities, and specific medical needs. In addition, I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I don’t just say, “They’re doing fine.” I’ll tell you how well they ate, how much they played, and how their walk went, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My time management and the way I integrate pet care into my daily routine are designed to ensure consistency and individualized attention, as your pet’s routine is essential to their well-being. In summary, my schedule is built around reliability, consistency, and controlled flexibility, ensuring that your pet’s care fits seamlessly into my day without ever feeling rushed or stressful. ● Home-Like Environment, No Crates: My home is fully pet-proofed and designed to make pets feel like they’re in a second home. Pets live alongside me and are never confined to a crate unless specifically requested by the owner. ● 24/7 Supervision: Pets staying in my home receive constant supervision. I only leave for very short, planned periods, and only when the pet is comfortable, safe, and secure. ● Small Group Care: I accept only a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one receives individualized attention and that the environment remains calm, safe, and manageable. ● Secure Exercise Area: My home features a securely fenced yard where pets can enjoy supervised playtime and socialization (with the owner's approval and if the pet enjoys interacting with others). In summary, I choose the care option that best meets your pet’s emotional and physical needs—whether that means the comfort of staying in their own home or the constant supervision and companionship offered in mine.
“My pup is normally very shy and takes him time warming up, but he loved Rosarin right away! He took treats (which never happens), enjoyed a nice long walk with her, and spent some time hanging out with her dog. Rosarin is great with animals, and she shared lots of helpful insights and cute pics/videos. Fantastic sitter, will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Jackie was amazing with my energetic boy Tucker!! He loved playing in her backyard and snuggling with her and her pups on the couch. He is tired and happy after picking him up. It was my first time dropping him at someone’s house for Rover so I was very anxious, however Jackie eased that immediately when I met her and her two cute pups. I will 100% use her services again next time I’m in the area.”
“Maria has been a LIFE SAVER for me. I work full time in Chicago and I needed someone who was able to take my dog M-F but I didn't want to bring my dog to an impersonal day care. That's when I found Maria. I really love that Oliver (my dog) is safe in Maria's home and also able to go to the dog park everyday. When I pick him up he is a very happy and tired dog! I could not have asked for a better situation and we consider Maria part of the family. She treats my dog as if he was her own and for that I am so thankful.”
“Michelle was absolutely fantastic - one of the best Rover's we've ever worked with. She was very responsive and flexible with our timings, sent numerous pictures throughout the day, and took excellent care of our Millie. Millie had a great time at her place and left happy - will definitely be comfortable leaving Millie with Michelle and her family again!”
“Kaya really enjoyed her first visit with Elizabeth!! This was the first time she’s had dog sitting in a sitters home and it went really well! I felt very comfortable with Elizabeth and Kaya really likes her 😊”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs.

I always prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication with pet parents. I provide reliable and attentive pet care services tailored to each pet’s needs. My services may include dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, refreshing water, litter box cleaning, and companionship. I also make sure pets stay mentally and physically stimulated through playtime, enrichment activities, and gentle exercise. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away I have experience caring for pets both personally and for family and friends. I have cared for cats and dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines.

I understand how important trust is when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care, and I always treat every pet with kindness, responsibility, and genuine affection.
“Our girl Nova had a wonderful time with Maria. She is caring, loving, professional and incredibly patient. This was our first experience leaving our baby girl, and it was great. Maria kept us updated throughout the day, making us feel very comfortable that Nova was well taken care of.”
“Danielle was so flexible, responsive and accommodating to my changing plans. And most importantly, my Ava had an absolute blast! Such a comforting feeling to know she’s being so well taken care of. Will definitely rebook. Thanks again!”
“We did not have a lot of interaction with Pennie as our plans were rather last minute. We dropped our dog ioff for the first time early in the morning and picked her up late that evening. Our dog came home happy and very much herself. This is a big deal because normally our dog comes home from boarding anywhere and is unhappy and sometimes even sick from stress. This tells me Pennie went to great lengths to make her happy and comfortable. Would definitely use Pennie again.”
“This was Wag’s repeat stay which was just as good as the first one! So nice to know from the photos sent that she had a ball! Wags was so exhausted after she got home that she snuggled up on the couch and hit the hay. Thanks for taking care of Wags for us! Thank you Sonia & Greg!”

As a busy teacher and child of parents with health issues, I constantly have situations requiring me to be away from my pup.... I hate to do this, but life is not always convenient, right? I was sooo Blessed to have found Donna's sitting service through Rover. Donna and her family have provided Love and Comfort to an important member of my family. They've also put to rest my initial fears of allowing a stranger to take care of my little one. Donna opened her home and heart and provides care, flexibility and decency. Thank you Donna and Josh for your Great Care!!!
Jackie was phenomenal. I reached out pretty last minute with a request that wasn’t exactly simple—she had to pick Ghost up from his training facility (not from me) and coordinate all of that seamlessly. On top of that, she even helped me sort out a small payment detail on Rover to make sure everything reflected correctly, which she absolutely didn’t have to do. She was super responsive, easy to work with, and just handled everything without friction. And the best part—Ghost lit up the second he saw her again after a few months, which tells you everything you need to know. Somehow she manages all of this while caring for multiple dogs at once and raising a young family, which honestly makes it even more impressive. Highly recommend giving Jackie a shot.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Mooseheart commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,864 sitters in Mooseheart, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
