“Shirley is without a a doubt the best sitter we’ve ever had. It’s clear she truly cares about animals with her whole heart and treats every time she sits our pup as if he were her own. We keep coming back to Shirley again and again because of how easily she relieves us of any worry about how our pup is doing, and how happy he is to be with her while we’re gone. We highly recommend her for any type of service, and especially boarding in her home!”

“Bailey is a caring, knowledgeable and experienced pet owner and caretaker. Freddy was well-cared for and I was sent several photos during the day to let me know how he was doing. Bailey was sensitive in incorporating Freddy into her pack of two dogs. I felt very comfortable and confident that Freddy was well cared for. Thank you!”

“I have two small 8-year-old dogs. They spent 10 days with Bola. Bola was great, she clearly puts her heart into this job. She sent pictures every two or three days. The living room has a clean wooden floor. The small fenced grassy yard is perfect for small dogs to run and sniff around. Bola even delivered the dogs to my home at the end of their stay (a 15-minute drive). I warmly recommend her service.”

“Barbara was a great caretaker for my elderly dog. She handled his medical and emotional needs with care and compassion. I can't leave out her charming assistant, Chewy - between the two of them, Oscar felt welcome and settled in nicely. If he could type, he'd leave a great review, too. I would absolutely book with Barbara again, and would recommend her, especially if your dog needs a little extra nurturing.”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I’ve just really cherished being around animals, even the ones who aren’t super cuddly. I have a lot of patience and respect for each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their people are away. I work full time during the week and try to stay busy on the weekend, but I will absolutely work my weekend schedule around you/your pet’s needs. I have a big fenced backyard and plenty of space inside for house-trained pets to relax, whether that’s on the couch, a comfy chair, or the floor. I share my home with one dog, a terrier mix named Minnie. She’s playful and friendly, but if your dog prefers to keep to themselves, I can easily keep them separated. Older dogs sometimes find her a bit too energetic, while younger pups usually have a great time playing with her.

“Suzy was great! She was very attentive to my dog who can be anxious when in unfamiliar places or away from owners. I received messages, photos and videos throughout his boarding stay that was nice to see how he was doing. I felt my dog was well taken care of and watched after while being away for 5 days. I will definitely recommend her and use her services again :)”

“This is perhaps my third or fourth time using Jesus for my dog Rex and I have been extremely satisfied. Animals generally show when they are happy being around certain people and Rex happily jumps to attention when he sees Jesus and his beautiful family. This stay was 6 days and I was really happy to receive pictures and see how happy Rex was spending time with this Sitter. If you are seeking the peace of mind that I have when leaving my dog with a Sitter then this is certainly the place you want to leave your pet. Jesus is clearly one of the Top Rated Sitters on this site.”

They have a very lovely and dog friendly home and yard and you can tell they get to know the pets they care for. We will absolutely use them again.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liz was absolutely wonderful with my dog while I was traveling overseas. I was gone for almost 10 days on a very long international trip, so it was really important for me to find someone I could trust — and Liz exceeded my expectations. She provided regular updates with photos and videos showing what my dog was doing, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Liz and her family created a very welcoming environment, and my dog really enjoyed the social time with the other dogs. He especially loved having access to the backyard where he could play and relax. When I picked him up, he looked healthy, happy, and clearly had a great stay. I would absolutely recommend Liz to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter, and I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Liz, for taking such great care of my dog!”

About: I used to be a farm manager and not only took care of domestic pets, but livestock too! I know everyone says that animals love THEM the most, but pets are really drawn to me. I think it’s because I have a deep reverence for them and their ability to so easily love people unconditionally. I also respect their boundaries because I understand that they cannot communicate as easily as we do. I am currently unemployed and going to school part time so my schedule is very open right now! I enjoy nature, even when weather is inclement, and will be there rain or shine. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your pet! No matter how detailed. I would care for your pet in the same manner I care for my own, which is obsessively. As a former anxious pet owner (sometimes I still am), I will provide photos and updates whenever I am with them. I also respect your privacy, as I know allowing someone into your home can be intimidating.

Alejandra was very great with my cats. They can be very shy, but they were very comfortable with her and her pets. She kept me updated about how their days were and sent pictures and videos every chance she got. I highly recommend anyone who needs a sitter to book her, your pets will be in good hands!

We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Jim! He boarded our 5 month old American Eskimo puppy, Millie, over the busy Fourth of July weekend and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. This was our puppy's first time away from home and he made it such a positive experience! Thank you!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.

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. 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.
