“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter while we were away for six days. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to ensure it was a great fit, which immediately gave us confidence in her care. Throughout our vacation, she provided consistent communication with thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, allowing us to truly relax knowing our dogs were well cared for. When one of our dogs experienced a decrease in appetite, she promptly communicated with us and worked through solutions, which we greatly appreciated. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care for our dogs made our trip completely stress-free. We are very thankful to have found such a dedicated and involved sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

“Nanook's stay was fantastic. Monique was amazing with sending me pics, videos, and updates. Nanook had so much fun running her yard and playing with other dogs. This was Nanooks first time being boarded and it was very last minute. Monique was very accommodating and extremely friendly. Will definitely be using her services in the future. Thank you so much!!”
“I would highly recommend Denise! She took great care of Chico and sent me updates with pics so I wouldn’t have to wonder or worry. He was happy and clean when I picked him up. I’ll definitely use her again! Huge thank you Denise!!!”
“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.”
“We love leaving Ash at Renae’s when we’re going to be away. Ash loves playing with their dog Bailey, snuggling and sleeping in improbable locations, and always comes home happy and tired.”
“Freya was fabulous and open with communication about our pet. They constantly sent us pics and updates on the status of our Waffle. I feel they went the extra mile on caring for our baby. This was my first experience using this app and now I am willing to keep using it! Thank you Freya!!”
“Our dog Rocky had a great time with Kristine and her adorable dog Blue. Kristine gave us updates about how Rocky is doing with pictures and video. Definitely recommend her and will use her service again. We appreciate her taking care of Rocky.”
“Kurt Russell loves going to hang out with Alyssa and her family. She has been so great and we have no worries when we drop him off with her. She keeps us updated with pictures and messages. We really appreciate you. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
About: Pet Care Experience I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand the responsibilities involved in providing daily care. My duties included feeding and providing fresh water, taking my dog on regular walks for exercise, grooming, cleaning up after them, and ensuring they had a safe and comfortable environment. I also monitored my dog's health and behavior, administered medications when needed as directed, and provided plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to support their overall well-being. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of the importance of consistent, compassionate pet care. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I make time each day to feed my dog, provide fresh water, take them on walks, clean up after them, and spend time playing and interacting with them. I also make sure they receive any needed grooming and monitor their health and behavior to ensure they are happy and well cared for. Caring for my dog has helped me develop consistency, responsibility, and a strong commitment to meeting an animal's daily needs. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I follow the owner's instructions to ensure the pet stays on its normal routine. I provide fresh food and water, regular walks and exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I clean up after pets, keep their living areas clean, and monitor their behavior for any signs of illness or discomfort. If medications are required, I administer them according to the owner's directions. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment while treating every pet with patience, kindness, and care.
“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”
“Leslie was AMAZING with our dog! She sent so many photos and updates and my dog was so comfortable with her! I felt like I was leaving my dog with a close friend. She was always communicative and very flexible. Leslie took great care of my dog and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter!”

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.
94% of sitters in Preston Heights 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 Preston Heights 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 Preston Heights.
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 Preston Heights 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 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.
