“A sincere thank you to Angelica for looking after my puppy for several days, even a day longer than I had anticipated due to serious travel issues from Boston. I cannot thank Angelica enough. If she permits, I will be looking to book Angelica's services routinely in the future. Thank you sincerely Angelica. Patricio,”
“Christine is wonderful with our dog Enzo and he always comes home from his boarding experience relaxed and happy! She sends lots of updates, makes sure to exercise him, and (to Enzo’s delight) is generous with the treats 😊😊 we highly recommend Christine!”
“Great experience! Jenny was very responsive and communicated frequently. I like that she only watches one dog at a time so our pup got her full attention. Bailey was well cared for during her stay and enjoyed her time with Jenny! Highly recommend and we would book again!”
“Shayna did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs while I was out of town. She was diligent about giving medications and kept me updated throughout my trip. My dogs loved playing in her backyard and snuggling in her home. Shayna works with dogs full time and it showed in her love for my pups!”
“I have left Leia with Jamie multiple times and every time she is well loved and well taken care of. Leia absolutely loves Jamie and her dogs and is always excited to go back! 12/10, would recommend”
“Cheryl was courteous, honest, understanding and easy person to deal with. She took good care of our dog, provided updates and pics and we would go back to Cheryl for any of our future boarding needs.”
“Where do I even begin?! Honestly. I’ve read that they are “GOD SENDS” and it is true. They are truly some of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met. From the moment they walked in, my puppy was instantly comfortable with them (which never happens that fast!). You can just feel how much they genuinely love animals. They didn’t just take care of my puppy — they spoiled them with love, attention, and so much patience. I got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages that made me smile every time. It was such a relief knowing my little one was being cared for by someone so warm and trustworthy. And the sweetest touch? They even brought special keepsakes as a little surprise — it was so thoughtful and showed how much heart they put into what they do. My puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly adored. I couldn’t recommend them all more. They’re responsible, compassionate, and truly have the biggest heart. If you’re lucky enough to have them take care of your dog, you can rest easy knowing your pup is in the very best hands. 🐶💛 I will baked my sweet, but crazy pup there again and again!!!!”
“Such a great family household — I felt very comfortable leaving my kids with them— I know they got tons of attention, love and play during their stay— I would definitely go back!”
“Angelina was phenomenal with my older, sweet but anxious pup. She was very gentle with him and understood the needs of an older dog well. She took her time acclimating him to his environment and the other pups. She sent many sweet pics and messages, knowing I was a little nervous about how he’d do, because he hadn’t been with a sitter for some time. Angelina is a wonderful sitter and a kind, loving soul. I was completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands and we’ll surely he booking with her again. So happy to have found such a gem of a sitter. Thank you, Angelina!”
“Sam was great with my two dogs including one senior dog and one with a chronic health issue. Drop off and pickup were seamless and pups came home happy and healthy. Communication was top notch. Will definitely book again. So happy to have found Sam!”
“Liliia took great care of my cat. She was very responsive and sent me daily updates. She also picked her up and dropped her off at my home which made my life infinitely easier! Would highly recommend!”
About: I work from home and my job requires very little actual attention (fortunately). I have a lot of time to dedicate to a pet and the space for it too! I work from home full time, but my job requires very little actual attention so most of my time clocked in allows me to do other things. I am always home unless I have errands, the gym, or appointments to get to. Other than that, I frequently visit my local parks for walks during my break and after or before work! I have big backyard where pets can play and run around! My neighborhood is very walkable and I like to visit my local parks a lot too!
“Maria was the best and took care of baby boy. I felt at peace and enjoyed my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She provided photos and videos. I will definitely book again.”
“Jasmin did an amazing job taking care of my cat. I usually prefer in home pet sitting but I had just moved to Chicago and did not have a place before I needed to travel so boarding was the only option. Jasmin was very welcoming and she did great at helping my cat feel relaxed. She also sent me regular updates and pictures with put me at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“Joe provided outstanding care for our dog Panda this weekend, and we couldn't be happier with his service. He was incredibly responsive, sending us regular updates, and his flexibility with our timing was a huge plus. Joe's genuine affection for Panda was heartwarming, and we'd gladly entrust our beloved dog to his care in the future. We highly recommend him!”
“Stephanie and her family took great care of Frankie! They constantly sent me updates, pictures and videos. I am happy that Frankie stayed with them for the weekend, I felt at ease and confident that he was having a great time”
“Reuben took great care of our pup! He checked in and updated us often and made sure that we knew our dog was in good hands. Reuben was also very accommodating when a flight delayed and we picked up our dog a little later than anticipated. He is a kind and knowledgeable individual and we will book with him again!”
“Dezmond took fantastic care of our pup! He was very communicative and asked thoughtful questions to ensure he provided the best, safe environment for her. Monse and Dez were patient as she warmed up and got comfortable in their home. She left happy and exhausted from playing with Dez’s pups!”

Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
So grateful for Tamara and her pups! It’s a fun vacation for Wiggles every time she stays with them. Wiggles, unfortunately, wore a cone and itchy paws when we dropped her off and Tamara was so helpful making sure she had her medicine 2x a day and topical on Wiggles. When we returned, Wiggles was feeling so much better! 💖
She and her husband were great! They took really good care of my dog, and she sent me pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I could tell my dog was in good hands, and I’m very happy with the care she received. I would definitely recommend them! 🐶❤️
Jessica was the absolute best after booking with her my flight was delayed and than cancelled add and ex 24 hours of care for my puppy, not only was she totally accommodating but she kept me updates with picture and videos of him. YOU CAN TRUST HER... SHE WILL ALWAY BE MY PUPPY SITTER.
Carmen and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 year old goldendoodle. Our dog is very anxious but Carmen allowed her to warm up to her and felt better after a few days of getting to know the family. Carmen and her husband have strong knowledge and responsibility for taking care of dogs and their experience is evident when you meet them. Definitely a trusting family and would have them care for my dog again. Great communication from them when I was away on vacation.
Janeth took such great care of my senior dog while we were away for a few days. I appreciated that she sent me updates and I was able to relax knowing my dog was comfortable and in a calm environment. I would absolutely recommend Janeth and would definitely board with Janeth again!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
