“Leah did a fantastic job all around. She was very warm and responsive when I first booked my appointment. Met Sam and I outside so he could get to know her. Let me in so I could see how he'd be staying and meet her dog. She answered all my questions and sent messages and photos during his stay. I highly recommend booking with her, and will do so again myself in the future. :)”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Beth was a perfect fit for us! Turq warmed right up to her and they really seemed to match each other's energy. We got plenty of updates which assured us he was comfortable and happy, which we loved. We will absolutely be booking again!”
“Ebony has been our go-to sitter for Chloe for a few years. She is incredibly responsive and caring. Additionally she always checks in with pics while we are away. There is no one else that we would trust our fur baby with! She loves hanging out with Ms. Ebony and Biscuit.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Evan and his fiancée! They were very attentive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. They cared for our pups like they were their own and kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable the entire time — they especially loved spending time with their sweet dog Chloe! We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!”
“we booked at the last min and the availability was open she responded quickly very friendly our Ziggy had a blast we was a little late picking him up and they was very understanding! We will most definitely be reaching out again!Thanks again!”
“Bryan and his wife were great, they were very accommodating in light of both myself and them having somewhat conflicting travel schedules. They can handle high energy dogs like mine well, I had constant communication about him and pictures. Cannot recommend enough, especially for corgi owners who need someone who can handle their crazy corgi antics.”
“Elisa and her family took the best care of Baxter and I would highly recommend them to watch your puppies. We were nervous as we don't usually leave Baxter but Elisa ( and family & Norman) provided loving care. She sent updates and pictures, which we loved! The sweetest part of Baxter's stay was her sons drew pictures for Baxter! I can positively say, Baxter was a loved puppy! Thank you Elisa, Family, and Norman!”
“So happy that Ruby got to Stay with Camille. She sent lot of pictures and videos of Ruby. Ruby also seems to have enjoyed the stay. Camille and her boyfriend took great care of Ruby. We have booked again with Camille and will definitely book again with Camille whenever needed”
“Debbie was absolutely great with Raqi. This was Raqi's second stay and Debbie is the only sitter my husband and I trust to take care of Raqi while we are away. Debbie sends us pictures to update us during her stay. I would definitely recommend Debbie, hands down, she's the best!!! ”
“Katie was an absolute fantastic dog sitter! We left our energetic pup with her and she took such wonderful care of her. From the very first meet-and-greet, Katie was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout the stay, Katie sent the most delightful updates and photos of her playing. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy she looked in all the pictures. Our dog came home well-cared for, more relaxed and content. Katie clearly went above and beyond. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring, responsible hands. We would (and will!) book Katie again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter who treats your dog like her own, look no further. Katie is the best! Thank you so much!! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend — 10/10 would trust her with our fur baby again!”
“Lauren was incredibly friendly and took great care of Comet. He seemed to really enjoy his stay and came back happy. Thank you Lauren for being so flexible and for watching Comet!”
“Copper had a wonderful stay over the holiday weekend! She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with messages and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious Copper was well cared for and having a great time. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Jing D. Was awesome! Both my beagle and mini Aussie had so much fun! She took them out for walks everyday and sent us pictures daily! My and my girlfriend had peace of mind on our trip because both of our dogs were in good hands! Her dog seemed great and playful as well! We would definitely recommend her! If you are looking for someone reliable and good with dogs!”
“Amelia was fantastic! She had us do a "meet and greet" prior to dropping off our fur baby and made us feel totally comfortable leaving Katie with her. Katie had her own "private" bedroom" and enjoyed the company of Amelia's dog, Ozzie. The fenced in back yard was really nice and Katie enjoyed playing and running outside. I would highly recommend Amelia!!!!”
“Carolina is a keeper . We will definitely use her services again. A very warm and friendly home. Carolina is fantastic to deal with. She kept us updated daily and sent photos. She was available to talk to and truly cared about Loki’s needs. We loved her!”
About: After nearly 15 years of caring for my own beloved small dog through every stage of life, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I have extensive hands-on experience with small and senior dogs, as well as shy/nervous dogs, including medication routines, special needs, changing mobility levels, and dogs who simply need a little extra patience and attention. I’m especially interested in providing a calm, home-like environment rather than a busy kennel experience. My goal is to care for your dog like they’re temporarily part of my family — with plenty of attention, cuddles, walks, and time to relax. I prefer caring for one dog at a time so they receive lots of individual attention. Note - at this time I can only accept hypoallergenic or low shedding breeds that are under 40 pounds and are very comfortable walking on a leash. I work from home but I’m selective with my availability and only open my calendar when I know I can give your dog plenty of time and attention. I enjoy having a dog around the house and will make sure they get lots of companionship, walks, playtime, cuddles and downtime based on their normal routine. I prefer to care for one household’s dog at a time so they can feel comfortable and get plenty of individual attention. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m especially comfortable with small and senior dogs and understand that some pets need a little extra patience, supervision and TLC. I live on a small, quiet cul-de-sac but please note, I do not have a fenced in yard, so dogs must be very comfortable walking on a leash.

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 Newbern 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 Newbern.
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 Newbern 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.
