“Nardine was very accommodating. I had to sit with Nardine in the yard to let my dog get to know her. It took about 30 mins. But Sugar adjusted. Nardine thank you for your patience. I would highly recommend. I will be using her again Jean”
“Vishvesh and Julia provided exceptional care for my girls, Maple and Maisy! From the moment I dropped them off, I felt completely at ease. They kept me updated throughout their stay with pictures and messages, which made being away from my girls so much less stressful. When Maple and Maisy came home, they were calm, happy, and clearly very well loved. They came back ready to give us all of the love and joy they had received from Vishvesh and Julia. 🐾❤️ They even went the extra mile and brought my girls home, which meant so much to me. I am beyond grateful for the care, attention, and love they gave my girls. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and Maple and Maisy definitely found that with Vishvesh and Julia. Five stars isn't even enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We highly recommend them and, without a doubt, they are our dog sitters for life! Thank you so much, Vishvesh and Julia, for taking such wonderful care of our girls. We are forever grateful! ❤️🐶🐶”
“Laina borded my Rosie for just under two weeks. I was very anxious because Rosie had some last minute special needs, but Laina was more than willing to accommodate. Laina treated Rosie very well and provided daily updates with pictures which helped keep me at ease while being away. Even before the booking, Laina went the extra steps to make sure both Rosie and I would be comfortable with her boarding. This was a fabulous experience and I would definitely recommend Laina”
“Vaida was amazing with Bear. Bear can be a little bit temperamental but she handle him so well. This really took a lot of our anxiety away while being on vacation because we knew Bear was in great care.”
“I was traveling out of the country for 2 weeks and boarded Sammy with Katie & Tim…they were amazing hosts , and it was a home away from home for Sammy. They communicated promptly, sent pictures and updates regularly so we did not miss a beat! Sammy came back home a happy dog! Will always board with Katie & Tim, they were awesome!”
“Elizabeth was an amazing find on Rover! Starting from the meet and greet, she was a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t be more pleased with how well she took care of our baby girl Sophie! From updates including pictures to flexibility when we made it home early from a road trip, she made the experience so easy! I would definitely use Elizabeth again ?”
“Clarissa was so amazing with rotini! She went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well and having a great time. Her dog, Rue, was the perfect playmate for my dog. Would rebook with her anytime!”
“Brian took care of my 6 month old puppy over Labor Day weekend. He sent pictures of her playing and going on walks. She was allowed to snuggle in bed and make herself at home. I would definitely use him in the future to care for our fur baby. Thank you Brian!”
“Debbie and Reggie took very good care of Daisy and Patch. They communicated well with us and sent daily photos. They clearly kept our pups active and attended to. Feed well even our dogs can be finicky eaters. Would definitely use them again.”
About: I’m a big animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I’m all about walks, playtime, belly rubs, kisses and plenty of cuddles — whatever makes your pet happiest. I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels, and I have hands-on experience caring for a dog with a seizure history, senior dogs with health issues, reactive dogs, blind and deaf dogs so I’m calm, attentive and great at following care instructions. I’m super affectionate, love building trust with pets and genuinely enjoy making them feel safe and happy. Don’t let the tattoos fool you — I’m a total softie who lives for puppy kisses and kitty cuddles! Please Note: Currently, I am unable to walk dogs on leash due to a spinal injury. I am still able to let them in fenced yard, feed, cuddle, & provide all other care. I work from home as a business owner and set my own schedule, which means pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and extended visits throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, walking preferences and house rules. I keep a calm, clean and pet-friendly environment and always monitor pets closely during walks and visits. I’m careful about leashes, doors, gates, surroundings & other animals and I provide updates with photos so you feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone and I take that responsibility seriously. I will always treat your pet as I want my pets to be treated — with extra love! Please ask about additional services I offer such as pet waste pickup, nail trims, pet bathing, pet taxi services, pet shopping, room cleaning, carpet spot cleaning, organizing tasks, furniture building, medication pickup and more! Have a busy schedule? I’m here to help!
“Keith took excellent care of Sarah over the weekend while we were away. He was also very flexible with last-minute schedule changes and adjusted the timing without any issues. I would definitely recommend him for dog sitting.”
About: I've had dogs since I was 6 — growing up with a Doberman, a boxer, then Labs. My last lab, Niner, was a rescue we brought home at 4 and cared for until he was 11. He had neurological issues, and I even made him custom shoes to help him walk. That kind of hands-on, patient care is second nature to me. Now I have Leo and Loki, my two 5-year-old dogs, and I understand the specific needs of large breeds — energy, exercise, and attention to health. That said, big or small, every dog gets the same level of care and attention. Your dog won't just be watched, they'll be truly cared for, the way I've cared for my own for over 30 years. I work from home in a computer-based 8-to-5 job, so I'm around all day — which means your dog isn't just squeezed into a quick before-and-after-work window, but gets company and check-ins throughout the day too. I walk my own two dogs twice daily, morning and evening, so pet care is already part of my daily rhythm. Weekdays offer steady, built-in availability, and weekends open up even more for longer walks and playtime. Your dog will have a large fenced yard to romp around in, plus my two friendly, well-socialized dogs, Leo and Loki, to keep them company. For rainy/snow days I have a large empty basement to play in and run around in. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, and check-ins — not just a quick visit in and out. My dogs are 5 years old and easygoing with other dogs, so your fur baby will feel right at home in a safe, social environment.
“This is the 2nd sitting with Dawn this year... I cannot say enough about the care, love & going above and beyond for my Sharpie. I really appreciate Dawn for who she is and how she treats my baby like her own! Thank You again Dawn!”
“Miranda came through for us in the last second when someone cancelled 2 days before our trip. Appreciate that so much. She sent constant updates of the pups and what they were up to and my dogs came and crashed which tells me they had a blast based on the pics and how tired they were :) Thanks Miranda!”
“Tyler's wife handles the communication, and she was so quick to respond, helpful, and accessible. She sent several pictures and videos during the stay, and our pup always looked so comfortable, happy, and relaxed. I would definitely trust them with our dog again.”
“Our experience leaving our dog Marshmallow with Adam was absolutely amazing! He was really responsive and easy to talk to and was even flexible when we had to change our plans. He took really amazing care of Marshmallow, provided great photos + updates, and it sounds like she had a great time while staying with Adam. Will definitely be asking Adam to watch Marshmallow again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a loving, caring place to leave their pets while they're away. Thanks Adam!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Plainfield
She was wonderful. Our older dog can be anxious and standoff but seemed comfortable and happy in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I had to. Communication was clear and responsive. I feel it was much better than using a kennel as my dogs were abused at one.
Clarissa did an outstanding job caring for our 4-year-old Boxer, Tyson, for an entire week while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention. It was obvious from the updates that Tyson was having a great time with walks, outdoor play, and lots of love. When she dropped him off tonight, he came home happy, healthy, and relaxed—a true sign that he was well cared for. Clarissa is kind, reliable, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We are incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. Thank you again, Clarissa, for taking such wonderful care of Tyson! ❤️

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 Meet & Greet .
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.
