“Beth was excellent! This was a great experience, I would definitely recommend Beth (and her sweet little dog Gracie!) and will be sure to reach out to her again when needed. Thank you so much, Beth!”

“Karen was great with our dogs Bella and Brandy! She was very friendly and responsive and sent us lots of updates and pictures during our vacation! We will definitely use Karen again for future trips!”


“My pups couldn't have had any more fun!! Julie, her husband, and their child couldn't have been any more commentating. We went to Julie's place for a few days before for a sniff, and Julie and her husband were so accommodating with our high energy Viszla. Throughout the time our pups were there Julie sent us pictures and updates. One of our Vizsla is super energetic and loves to play. Our other Vizsla is rather calm and loves to be a couch potato. Both of our pups may have different personalities, but Julie and her husband could not have been any better for us and our pups!! We will definitely be coming back!!”

“Really came through for me when I needed a sitter last minute. Kept me really well updated with pics and videos of my dog while in his care. My dog and his dog have gotten along great, really kept him entertained!”

“I just wanted to say how pleased I am with Estefania's service! She's kind and made our pups feel very welcome. She sent daily pictures of them and was wonderful about communicating! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”

“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”

“Natalie did such a wonderful job taking care of Duke while I was on vacation! Duke can be a pretty nervous boy, so I was especially grateful that Natalie took the time to make him feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gave him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Natalie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. We’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time we need someone for Duke! ❤️🐾”

“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!!”

“Alyssa was amazing!! My pup felt super comfortable the moment she walked into the house. Alyssa was conscientious throughout, with consistent communication and updates. My dog came home happy and tired :)”


“Absolutely amazing. Vanessa made my trip worry free. She took exceptionally care of my pet. I received memorial pictures throughout my trip, in which I appreciated. I will definitely use her again for any future trips. Thank you for such a great experience.”

“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.”

“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”

About: I offer peace of mind through professional experience. Your pets are family. They deserve an expert who understands behavior, medical needs, and safety. I bring over 13 years of professional animal handling to every sit. I will treat your home and pets with ultimate respect. Why Choose Me: 13 Years as an Animal Control Officer: Trained in animal behavior, safety, and emergencies. Senior Dog Specialist: Expert in administering medications, managing mobility issues, and cognitive care. Multi-Species Experience: Extensive background with dogs, cats, and rabbits. Safety First: Certified in emergency handling and reading subtle animal body language. Reliable Updates: Frequent photo, video, and text check-ins during every visit. I am currently at home most of the day, which means your beloved pet will receive constant supervision, love, and attention! Because of my open schedule, I can offer ultimate flexibility—whether that means hosting a fun staycation in my home, coming to yours for multiple daily visits, or doing quick midday 'let outs' while you are at work. I am proud to have a very welcoming pack of my own, including two sweet female miniature dachshunds and a friendly, medium-sized female terrier mix. All three of my girls absolutely love making new friends and are incredibly well-behaved with other dogs. Your pup will instantly feel like part of our family, enjoying non-stop companionship and a safe, joyful environment tailored completely to their daily routine! Your pup will enjoy the ultimate freedom and safety during their stay with me! I have a massive, 6-foot fenced-in yard that offers plenty of room for high-energy zoomies, fetch, and outdoor exploration. For absolute peace of mind, all gates are securely locked from the inside, making the yard 100% secure. When we are indoors, your dog will enjoy full access to the entire house, meaning they can lounge on the couch, follow me around, and truly treat my home as their own. They will never be restricted to a single room, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully part of the family.
About: Hi! I’m Nicole, and I work remotely as a graphic designer while pet-sitting! I’d love to hang out with your baby or take them on walks or just keep them company! The details: I’m currently open for a recurring lunch time walk/drop-in spot! I do have meetings throughout the day and work full-time, so it’s u likely I can accommodate any other weekday times. Weeknights and weekends are open though! I am open to sitting for all types of animals! I love to be outdoors, so walking and playing with your pet will be a treat for both me and them. I’m also cool with a little snuggle bug watching tv on the couch! I’ve walked and spent time with dogs of all shapes and sizes through volunteer work at a shelter in SK. You can count on me to love your pet as my own while I’m with them. I have no problem giving medication or any other special needs your dog might have. - I require meet & greets. - All pets must be up to date on vaccines. - All pets must be in generally good health. - I am not able to offer constant care during daytime hours on weekdays. (Additional costs will be applied for constant care). - Please let me know all about their personality, quirks, and habits! House Sitting notes: Every sitter uses this service a bit differently. For my services, house sitting = staying overnight in your home and caring for the pet between 5pm - 8am and 1 drop in around noon. Any additional needs require additional drop-in costs because I am not able to stay in your home the entire day (I must care for my own pet and another client daily). Don’t hesitate to ask questions if you have any! I'd love to hang out with your pet and work out a schedule! I do work full-time but have some flexibility in my hours. I currently have an opening for lunchtime walks or drop-ins, and I’m always open to doggy daycare. Weeknights and weekends are open! My home has a fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play, our house is small but we live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of good places to walk and sniff!

“We left our 12 week old puppy with Pennie during our family vacation. We were very nervous about leaving him since he was so young, but Pennie was great with providing plenty of photos of his activities as well as daily updates on how he was doing. Pennie has pets of her own along with a couple other dogs she was watching so it was great socialization for him to get at a young age.”

“It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!”

About: I am a huge animal lover and dog lover. I have a 3 year old mini dachshund and I love meeting and spending time with new animal friends. I also previously had a rescue dog for 10 years (RIP Lyla 💔) that had severe anxiety, so I am comfortable interacting with dogs who may be shy or unsure of strangers. I have a velcro dog, so I am used to cuddling and keeping a close eye on fur babies. I am comfortable giving medications if needed and I will give all the hugs and kisses and playtime if that is what they want! I have more experience with dogs, but am happy to visit with kitties and other small animals as well. Due to my other job I am usually only available on weekends. I may have a weekday available here and there, just keep an eye on my calendar for last minute availability! I do have my own dog at home so I can't do overnight stays or house sitting. Ladybug typically gets along with small male dogs but can be iffy with large/female dogs, so if you'd like to board a meet 'n greet will be required. I prefer to walk dogs with a harness, as they are more secure and safer for everyone. I also keep a close eye and make sure they don't get into anything they're not supposed to. I practice crate training with my own dog, so if your pup needs to go back into a crate after a visit I can definitely handle that.
“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.”

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 Preston Heights 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 Preston Heights.
<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 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 , 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.
