“My Aussidoodle is high energy and needs room to run. I chose Kelly for the large fenced in yard, but got the bonus of her family giving so much love and great care! Kelly sent daily pictures and let me know that the family really liked my sweet boy and enjoyed cuddles with him. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for Willie.”

“Sarah took very good care of my little Noah, this was his first stay at someone's house but he stayed at a kennel last summer and wasn't very happy when I picked him up. This is a much better environment to leave him in. I would leave him there again if needed. ”

“I can’t thank her enough for helping me out on such short notice! She took my dog in last minute for the weekend and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated, treated my dog like one of her own, and it was obvious my pup was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can trust when unexpected things come up. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again!”

About: Looking for more than just a typical dog sitter? ​I’m Roosevelt, and for the past 8+ years, I’ve dedicated myself to understanding canine behavior from the ground up. I specialize in working with high-drive and anxious dogs, using proven body language communication to build calm composure and trust. ​Whether you need structured walks, behavior maintenance, or overnight care, your dog receives professional oversight in a safe, controlled environment. You’ll stay connected with daily updates and photos every day they’re with me. ​Reach out today to lock in your Meet & Greet! As a professional dog trainer, pet care isn't a side hustle it is my full-time daily routine. My entire schedule is strictly structured around high performance exercise, advanced handling, and pack management. Whether training or boarding, dogs are fully integrated into my disciplined daily lifestyle from morning until night. When your dog steps into my care, they are entering a structured environment built for engagement, confidence, and high-energy fun! Rain, snow, or heat—weather is never an issue. I utilize controlled indoor exercise equipment, including a dedicated dog treadmill, to maintain physical conditioning year round. ​Safety and trust are my highest priorities. To build real-world focus and reliable obedience, I introduce structured outings to local, dog-friendly spots and high-distraction environments to keep their mental skills sharp as a tack. Whether working on precision focus, brain games, or physical fitness, your dog gets an ideal mix of clear discipline, high-reward fun, and deep relaxation. I respect your home, enforce your precise house rules, and deliver daily updates so you always have complete peace of mind!

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 Old Ripley home-away-from-home, 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 Old Ripley.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Old Ripley 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 , 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 .

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.
