“Bailey and Wade were fantastic with our senior “high maintenance” dog. We received daily updates and pictures of our guy having the best time! They did great calming him when storms came through! Definitely will book with Bailey & Wade again! Thank you!😊”
“Feiran is the best and even sends updates on how my dogs are doing. First time I used Rover and First for my dogs to be watched outside of their home. They met and played with other dogs. I will definitely bring them back to her again. Thank you Feiran for taking good care of my doggies.”
“Caitlin was great with my little man Hank. I'm happy I chose Caitlin to board Hank. Caitlin kept me posted on his feeding and socializing while I was away, she even sent pictures.”
“They were great, flexible and promptly responded to all questions. We made a mistake with our booking timeline and they were super flexible about startung a day earlier. It was greatly appreciated. Will book again!”
“Gilana was an incredible sitter for my dog, Edison! I recently moved into town and it’s always tricky to find someone new to trust with caring for your pet. Gilana was kind, communicative, and clearly made Edison feel right at home. I also felt extra confident that Edison was in good hands knowing she is training in the veterinary field. What really made her stand out is I had a very stressful, last-minute flight change, which left me stuck across the country for an extra day. Gilana was able to extend coverage for Edison. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her flexibility and understanding. Thank you, Gilana!”
“Nate did a great job with Hank. Hank had a great time with Nate and enjoyed his walks. He was thrilled to have a playmate as well! Hank and Nash seemed to really enjoy playing together. It was really nice getting pictures of Nash and Hank playing. We will definitely use Nate again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life, from my own pets, to fostering newborn puppies and kittens for the SPCA, to my previous position as a veterinary nurse at a hospital in Livermore, where I worked with cats and dogs on a daily basis. Before starting this position, I graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Animal Science. Therefore, I feel well-prepared to handle any of your pet care needs, regardless of the degree of difficulty or complication. I am now a student working towards my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, but love to watch pets in my free time! I am willing to be flexible to accommodate your and your pet's schedule! Even though I am a full-time student, I often attend class virtually. When it comes to taking care of your pet in your home, I will be sure to thoroughly understand any directions given and conduct care in a kind and patient manner. Having owned pets with both medical and behavioral abnormalities before, I completely relate to the anxiety of trusting someone else with their care, but I hope that I can ease some of that anxiety for you by doing my absolute best to honor all of your pet's needs. Of course, I will also be respectful of your home and belongings.
About: Thank you for considering me to care for your furry family member! In my house, pets are family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I work primarily from home, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. Whether it’s an awesome playtime sesh, a neighborhood walk, some fresh air in the backyard, or simply lounging together on the sofa, I enjoy giving dogs the love and attention they deserve. I no longer have a dog of my own (but I had the best Beagle for 15 wonderful years until recently), so your dog will have my full attention! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. BOARDING I want your dog to feel right at home during their stay! They’ll have free rein of the house and can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable, including in my bed. If you prefer a crate, just provide one and I’m happy to accommodate. I live in a duplex with a very large, fully fenced and gated backyard shared with my next-door neighbors, who have a Golden Retriever and a Frenchton. If your dog enjoys other dogs, we can discuss sharing the outdoor space. Otherwise, I can provide individual walks and plenty of outdoor potty breaks. DOG WALKING Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some fresh air and exploring, I’ll tailor walks to their age, energy level, and abilities. DROP-IN & HOME VISITS If your pet is happier at home, I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. I can also arrange daytime or overnight stays, depending on your needs and my availability. PET TAXI Need a ride to the groomer, vet, or another outing? I can help with transportation depending on scheduling and distance. Just ask! MY APPROACH TO CARE I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, habits, and routines, and I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including any medication or special care needs. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates once or twice a day, if you’d like. Above all, I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and consideration I’d want someone to give my own. I look forward to meeting you both! I have a flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s needs. I can accommodate multiple walks throughout the day, depending on scheduling, and I’m open to boarding one family’s pets at a time so they can receive plenty of individual attention. Advance notice is always appreciated, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and your pet’s routines, and make sure your furry family member receives plenty of attention and care. As I get to know each dog, I’m mindful of their personality, needs, and comfort level, whether we’re out for a walk, spending time in your home, or enjoying a stay in mine. I offer boarding for one family’s pets at a time so they can receive more individualized attention. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s needs, routines, and any special instructions so you can feel confident they’re in caring hands.
About: I have always had dogs in my life since I was 8 years old. I have grown up with puppies and also have experience with senior dogs. Right now I have 2 dogs who are 5 and 3 years old. I love all dogs! I am currently unemployed but a student, and I still have lots of free time on my hands. So I have a lot of time to pick up walking shifts. I have a lot of experience walking dogs considering I’ve grown up around them. So I make sure to provide your dog with the best walk!
“Ben was kind enough to sit for us on very short notice! Great communication and wonderful service. I could not be more grateful for the kindness to us and our dog Ruby, and I would highly reccommend Ben to others looking for someone to watch their fur babies.”
“She did a very good job caring for my dog. He usually gets a little nervous being in unfamiliar settings which makes him not want to eat as much. She cared enough to still try to get him to eat something during his stay which I do appreciate. I would book again!”
About: I have experience raising Labrador Retrievers, Poodles, Schnauzers, and Dachshunds, and I’ve also taken care of my friends’ cats many times! I’m a huge animal lover and a volunteer at the Champaign County Humane Society. Both dogs and cats tend to warm up to me very quickly, and we usually become cuddle buddies in no time! I genuinely love spending time with animals and will treat your furry family members like my own, with lots of love, attention, and cuddles! 🐾❤️ Pet care is part of my everyday life. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, caring for animals is something I naturally make time for. It’s not just a task—it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to each day. I live alone, so pets get my full attention and a quiet, calm space to relax in. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their routine, giving lots of playtime and cuddles, or just being nearby so they don’t feel alone. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any instructions closely to keep things familiar for their pet.
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy taking care of them. I don’t have pets of my own right now, but I’ve been pet sitting on and off for several years and have cared for friends’ dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters. I’ve also helped friends find new homes for their pets, including providing a temporary place for some animals to stay while they waited to go to their new home. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality and routine. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I take the time to get to know each pet and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention, and make sure they’re well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks, as well as feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I’m also regularly in two different locations throughout the week, so I’m able to provide care in both areas. I live in a small, quiet space, which provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets staying in my home. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, they would have my full attention and I can focus on making them feel safe and comfortable. I would follow the routine and instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other specific needs. I’m also able to be present and provide companionship throughout their stay.
“I contacted Anj on a bit of short notice and after booking, she made feel that I had made the right decision immediately. She took great care of Tammy and sent me update and pics frequently. I could definitely contact her to care for Tammy again and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
91% of sitters in Parkville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Parkville 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 Parkville.
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 Parkville 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.

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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
