“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Yahret and her family are the best you could possibly ask for!! Incredible people who love my pup like their own. You couldn’t ask for a better family to watch your pup!!”

“Tracy and Rick are the best! We had some travel delays and Tracy was happy to accommodate our schedule. Our pup, Romy, is always so happy to stay there ☺️”

“I can't say enough good things about the care Teddy & Bear received. Teddy & Bear can be a handful, but Mariana handled them with so much patience and love — they came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. Trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely great with the boys. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to book again — highly, highly recommend.”
“I am delighted to provide a well-deserved five-star review for Diana who cared for Luna. She went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt loved and comfortable during her stay. Diana’s reliability and excellent communication made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.”
“Dezmond was so accommodating to our last minute request. Greeted us with a super friendly demeanor and Nani acted like she knew him for years! He took her on multiple walks and sent photos and videos which is always appreciated :) will definitely use his services again! Nani is currently passed out in the car from all the fun she had with him and his pups 🐾”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Grove
Michelle was phenomenal with our puppy! She provided updates and gave her excellent, hands-on, truly sweet care. She bought her little toys to match her breed and sent them home with us (so kind) and was so polite, professional, flexible, and quick to communicate. We can’t wait to work with her again!
Cindy was great! She was open to meeting before the booking to make sure Dexter and her got along. During Dexter's stay Cindy sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing. Cindy eased some nerves, only hung out with Dex, and we would definitely book again!
Courtney was terrific with my dog. My dog has anxiety and doesn't eat good when I'm away. Courtney went above and beyond to help her eat. She's very laid back which is what my dog needs. Really knows her dog stuff as her career has always been working with dogs plus her vet tech degree. I would recommend her to anyone.
Yuliya was wonderful with my pups! She’s a phenomenal communicator and kept me updated with plenty of pictures while I was traveling. From the jump, it was easy to see that my boys were super comfortable with her and made themselves at home in lovely space. Thanks again, Yuliya!
I’ve used Rob several times over the past couple of years to watch my two pups, and I couldn’t be happier with his care. He’s always great at communicating and keeps me updated, and my dogs always come home happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands while I’m away. Thanks so much, Rob!

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 .
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.

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.
