“Megan was great with Delilah! She sent pictures and updates and I could tell Delilah had a great time with her pup! Will definitely be using Megan as a sitter again in the future!”
“Megan and her family were wonderful with my puppy. I was apprehensive about leaving my 7 month old puppy, because, well he’s a puppy! Megan was so calming and inviting that I knew she would take great care of him! She kept me updated throughout the whole stay with pictures and texts. I highly recommend and will definitely be using Megan again!”
“Amazing, attentive, and so caring. Her dogs are soooo nice too! My dog will be coming very often and I definitely recommend!!!! Very spacious as well my dog had her own room. 🫶🏼”
“After doing a meet and greet with Danielle I felt very comfortable with boarding my dog, Miller with her. I liked that she would provide a cageless and friendly environment for him. Danielle and her family were nice to Miller and enjoyed having him. She was good about following his daily routine and provided a picture to show he was doing fine. She also accommodated us by providing a leash and bags, as we forgot ours. I will definitely board Miller with Danielle again.”
About: What sets me apart for other sitters is that I have them enjoy their walks at their own pace. In my years of experience, I have not only taken care of dogs but also cats just to name a few. Every animal is unique in their own way so being kind goes a long way. I like to have the owners as well as the dogs comfortable with me so I obtain as much information from the owners regarding their furry friends as I can. I am currently free to play, drop-in or bring your furry baby home with me. Whatever your pets needs are, I am here to help. I have a big backyard where I normally allow the dogs to run and play. But it does not have a fence in one area where the driveway begins. My home has two floors which the downstairs I use for the dogs to lay down, play or sleep. I do own a dog myself but she isn't allowed to interact with guests dogs unless previously approved by the guests parents first. I also have cameras, where I can capture video and photos to send to the pet parents.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. My weekdays are mostly spent at home for academic work, and can adjust for drop in visits easily. I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. For all services, I appreciate your tips as you know them the best!
“Joanna and Mike were amazing! Most of my communication was with Joanna and she’s absolutely epic. Frequent/daily updates about Bella. I would definitely book again and so appreciate how welcome they made Bella feel and even me at drop off. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”
“Keeta was well taken care of on her stay. I received pictures and updates while I was gone. I am so thankful to have found a wonderful person like Laura to take care of my girl. This was so much better than a boarding place. She got one on one attention and a nice yard to play in. I was able to enjoy my birthday vacation in Texas with son & grandkids worry free. Thank you so much Laura!”
“Dominique was AB-SO-LUTE-LY Fabulous!!! She treated my babies like her very own (even calling them by their "cutesy" baby names when she scratched them under their cheeks and behind the ears). She created a safe, loving and clean space for them... allowing them to thrive. Truth be told, I'm kind of jealous that they "took to her" so quickly and didn't miss me more (our first time separated in 11 years). Knowing Dominique was taking such great care of them, made the stressful time I was going through easier to manage. My babies came back, calm,well feldand clean!!! 👍 I will definitely seek out Ms. Dominique again for any and all future pet needs.”
“Deena, watched our Dog Sax two weeks ago. When we did the meet and greet, Sax Immediately fell out for belly rubs and then took off for a run around the house. He felt comfortable right away, which made me feel at ease. Deena was great at communicating and sending pictures during the entire stay. It was very evident that she loves dogs and we could tell that Sax enjoyed her as well. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future and I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Elisa was great - my dog Keds had a blast during her stay! Elisa was very flexible with pickup and drop off, working around my schedule. I also received regular updates and photos throughout my trip!”
About: Every pet has feelings, a unique personality, and a need to feel loved. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding and watching animals. It’s about making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and attention, taking the time to understand their needs and make them feel at home. Your pet deserves more than a sitter. They deserve someone who truly cares. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I strive to maintain your pet’s usual routine while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide pet care exclusively in my own home, which has a fenced-in yard where pets can enjoy outdoor time under supervision. I also have a friendly small dog, and I understand that meeting a new dog can take time. I’ll make introductions slowly and patiently, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort and keeping a close eye on their interactions. I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and welcome. My goal is to provide a clean, loving environment where your furry friend can enjoy a true home away from home while you’re away.
“Murphy had a great time with Linda and family! She is very easy to deal with and super thorough to make sure that our dog had a safe and healthy stay. Her dog is such a playful sweetie too- she got my very shy dog to play and feel comfortable. I definitely look forward to using Linda again. Thank you so much!”

Our dog had a wonderful stay with Ginebra! She took great care of him and was very diligent in providing for his needs. He seemed comfortable with her from the first moment we met and was happy and content when we picked him up. She was very accommodating when we asked to change our pick up time. We really appreciated that.I highly recommend Ginebra based on her compassionate care of our fur baby. Thank you Ginebra! We were so blessed to meet you and can’t wait to see you again!
Thank you Mairead for taking care about Luna when I was in my vacations , she was amazing with my fur baby , she keep me posted all the time and send me pictures , she give her a extraordinary time , took her to the dog park , and for a run , a lot of play and even combed her hair the communication was amazing . Highly recommended
Danny was great with my dog, Gabe, and was extremely easy to communicate with! He was very accommodating and was understanding of the intricacies that come with boarding a large dog. He made sure to take many pictures and texted me to help alleviate my own anxiety about being away from my dog. When we met Danny for a meet and greet, my dog instantly was comfortable. I have never seen him like that at a commercial boarder. I am very grateful for Danny!
Jennifer was so great. She kept me up-to-date with my fur baby and sent pictures every step of the way. I was really nervous because this was the first time I had left him in a long time but rest assured he was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I definitely will rebook with her.
Sarah did an amazing job taking care of Murphy overnight! She clearly treated him like her own and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I really appreciated all the pictures and updates—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Murphy had such a great time, and I could tell he was in great hands. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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.
