“Steve could not have been more timely with responses during the interview process and throughout our stay in Kansas. He willingly accommodated our requests for drop-off and pick-up time changes for Barkley. Every night we picked up a happy and exhausted dog...one who went immediately to sleep. Steve proved to be trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely kind to dogs, cats and babies. We certainly recommend Steve and will definitely be using his services again, when in Lawrence, KS.”
“Natalia was an amazing sitter! She was so caring and flexible! Our travel plans changed unexpectedly and she cared for my dog an extra day/night after our flights were cancelled. Communication was top-notch and she sent LOTS of photos which I really appreciated! I felt so safe and comforted knowing my baby was in great hands and truly a part of her family for the week. My dog has mobility issues and requires extra care which was lovingly provided. We will definitely be repeat customers and she will be our first go-to the next time we need boarding!”
“Super nice and able to accommodate my dog on short notice. My dog definitely had a blast and instantly made himself at home, playing with their dogs and getting cozy.”
“Brittany and her family took amazing care of our one and a half year old golden retriever for a little over a week. He had some potty accidents during his stay which we felt so terrible about but Brittany was very forgiving and optimistic about Roper nonetheless. He came back super happy and healthy and we can tell he had a great time and bonded with the family, he may even be sad to go back home 😂 Brittany also sent lots of photo and video updates which we always love! 10/10 would recommend.”
“Alma fue excelente cuidadora para Dublín, siempre estuvo en comunicación y enviando fotos de cómo iba el día. Dublín fue muy consentido el tiempo que estuvo con Alma. Super recomendada ❤️”
“Carissa took great care of my Nala. Nala hurt her leg a few days before we were going out of town and Carissa was very willing to give her the extra attention she needed! She will definitely be hangout out with Carissa again!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. During my time in college, I worked for a humane society and have extensive knowledge on how to care and play with many different temperaments. My most recent beloved cat, Mufasa, was diabetic, which has help me puuurfect my skills of administrating shots and taking care of ill kitties. I have a full time job from 9-5 on M-F, but my weekends and evenings are free to give all the love and care to your furbaby. I live in an apartment complex that allows all breeds. There is plenty of space outside to play with your dog, and many walking trails and parks nearby. There is also a dog park close by.
“Jessica did a great job with Bentley. She was very attentive to Bentleys needs and went above and beyond during the time she had him. You can tell she really cares about the animals she cares for.”
“Darcy was so well cared for and had a great time with Ashley and her pups! Ashley was super responsive and flexible when our road trip back home took more time than expected. She will definitely be our go-to sitter for Darcy in the future.”
“Rubi and her family were awesome! They took great care of our dog, Dembe, and sent updates each day! Dembe was worn out from all the fun he had and napped as soon as we were home! I definitely recommend Rubi, she was great to work with!”
“We just had another sitting with Sarah & Cyrus and it exceeded our expectations! They followed our directions for administering medication and sent photos to show us :D that wasn’t necessary but appreciated. I picked up 2 happy doggos!”
“Lisa was very communicative before and during our dog’s boarding, she sent an update video so our kids could see him playing and we felt at ease with Lisa and leaving our dog for the weekend at her house!”
“Beth was wonderful with my babies! This was my first experience with Rover and it was a great one. I received photos throughout the time we were gone of what my animals were doing and I felt good that they weren't left alone in a cage the entire time we were gone. My one dog has a lot of medical issues and Beth was able to meet all her needs as well. I definitely appreciated all of the love and care they received while I was gone. I will definitely utilize Beth again in the future.”
“My dogs had the highest care with Zachary and Emily of any boarding or pet service I have ever used. It's clear they really cared about my dogs by giving them plenty of attention and exercise during their stay. I was kept in the loop with daily pictures/updates of how things were going.”

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.
98% of sitters in Rantoul 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 Rantoul 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 Rantoul.
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.

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 KS 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.
