“Eric and Morgan were super responsive and friendly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter! They also accepted my booking request right after I made it even though it was short-notice”
“We left our Morkie, Lexi, with Dave and Cindy for the first time last weekend, and can’t say enough how much we appreciate the loving care they gave her! Lexi doesn’t usually “warm up” quickly to people, but she was obviously comfortable with them from the moment she met them at our meet ‘n greet. When we dropped her off for her long weekend stay, she responded to them like family! Dave sent pictures of her each day, and she was obviously happy and relaxed with them. They provided a very comfortable and loving environment for her, and it was clear to us when we picked her up that she was well cared for and enjoyed her stay. Thanks, Dave and Cindy, you will definitely see Lexi again! 🙂”
“Very accommodating gentleman! Nice fenced back yard, easy to get to his home! I felt great leaving my dog with Davey! He even sent pictures of her playing, which calmed me down as this was her first sitter! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“We went on a cruise in which there was no phone service for the duration of the cruise. This was the first time with this sitter but I had total confidence that Jersey would be well taken care of. Annie & her family were very nice, we met with Annie a couple of days beforehand. I will definitely be taking Jersey back there again.”
“Zinaida was amazing. She was very flexible and accommodating for pick up and drop off. She took great care of the pups with walks and play time and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely rebook!”
About: I have fed, cuddled, and played with many different cats and dogs that we had from childhood until now. Pets of all kinds, have always been a part of my family and I would love to be a part of yours when you need to get away! I work from home so my schedule is flexible, accomodating mornings and evenings, which is perfect to tuck your little one in or feed them breakfast. I am available to drop in for walks, feedings, or even just socialization at your descretion. Anytime of day works for me as I can schedule around your needs.
“Karen was wonderful to work with! I could tell she was genuinely excited to take care of Pippin. She even had a basket waiting for him and sent me photos, videos and updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend her!”
“Rachel took great care of my little corgi. She was kind, responded quickly to my messages, and sent daily photos and updates while I was away. She was flexible with my drop times and and with my meet and greet request. She is so thoughtful and left a card and treat for my dog for the holidays. My pup was worn out when she got home and happy after Racheal’s care.”
“Kelly did an excellent job taking care of our Figgus! She was so easy to work with and flexible with our unique situation. He looked so happy in every picture she sent of him. I could tell he was being well taken care of. We would highly recommend her services!”
“Shane was awesome! He kept us updated the entire time with pictures and videos. He has a really nice yard that Leo LOVED. I never seen him so happy. 100% worth the drive. He really care for Leo. He even brought him out to us and gave Leo goodbye kisses!”
“Jennifer was great with our two dogs. While we were away, she texted me several times and sent pictures. I really got a kick out of that. She did have several, very well trained dogs, of one which, was a rescue dog with many physical problems. This proved to me, even more, how she truly loves and cares for animals. It was good to have our dogs around other dogs. I think this helped them. Now while taking them for walks, they don't bark at other dogs, as they used to. I was concerned about leaving them with someone I didn't know, but will definitely use her anytime again, when we need a sitter. ”
“Thank you. Matthew is an excellent caregiver for my fur babies. They adore him and I always know they are well cared for. Matthew treats my fur babies like his own. I am thankful for all of the updates and pictures he provides me during their stay. His home is very warm and inviting for them and he keeps them well engaged. I I recommend if you are looking for a home environment for Pet care, you call Matthew.”
“Anthony was a great sitter for our dog Blue. Blue has difficult feeding habits and Anthony was able to feed him well. We will be sending Blue to Anthony in the future.”
“Another great stay at Shaina’s! Louie loved playing with Shaina, Imogen, and the other boarding dogs. Loved getting lots of pictures of Louie’s daily adventures!”

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 New Hanover 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 New Hanover.
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 New Hanover 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.
