“Sylvie is truly a 5 Star sitter! Our pups enjoyed their 11 day vacation with Sylvie and her dogs and chickens! Sylvie took excellent care of our babies. Lots of exercise and plenty of love and attention. We've been back 2 days and our pups are still tired. We will definitely use Sylvie"s services again. Thank you, Sylvie. You're the best! 💞”

“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”

They sent me great pics throughout my vacation which gave me peace of mind that Jake was well cared for. I will book them again when I go out of town.”

Thanks for being my “Saving Grace”!”

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.

They will never be restricted to a single room, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully part of the family.

“We had a wonderful experience with Kimberly [and Tom]! Both took great care of our two white Swiss shepherd boys while we were away. Kimberly was very responsive and kept us updated with videos and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we returned, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Kimberly was fantastic. Very responsive! We ended up booking with her last minute as our previous booking with another sitter canceled the night before we were leaving for our trip due to an emergency. I will say, we lucked up on Kimberly. Our 8yr old golden doodle got in walks, treats, chew toys, fun with her dogs, and lounge time. Our dog was happy and energetic when we picked him up. I would definitely recommend Kimberly. If her availability is open, we will book with her again.”

It was really good seeing pictures of our dog right in the middle of a family Christmas. He was even allowed to watch TV while sitting on her furniture. Will definitely use her again!”

“From the moment we entrusted Blanche to Natalie's care, it was clear that we had found a truly special experience for Miss B while we are away. As a first-time Rover boarding client, I was pretty anxious. However, Natalie's extraordinary compassion and professionalism immediately put my mind at ease. What set Natalie apart was her remarkable communication. She provided frequent, detailed updates through messages, photos, and videos that allowed me to feel connected to Blanche throughout her stay. These thoughtful check-ins were more than just updates—they were windows into Blanche's experience, showcasing the genuine care and attention she was receiving. Natalie's expertise truly shone when Blanche began experiencing some hormonal changes during her boarding stay. Instead of being overwhelmed, Natalie handled the situation with remarkable sensitivity and understanding. Her ability to adapt and provide compassionate care during this time was nothing short of impressive. The environment Natalie provides is a dog's paradise. Her gated and private backyard is a dream space that any canine would be thrilled to explore, offering both fun and safety. It was evident that Blanche was not just being housed, but truly cherished and given the opportunity to enjoy her time away from home. The bond that formed between Natalie and Blanche was heartwarming. Her love and commitment to providing top-tier care cannot be overstated. We are already looking forward to Blanche's next stay with "Auntie Natalie" and cannot recommend her services more highly!!! For any pet owner seeking a boarding experience that combines professional care, loving attention, and constant communication, Natalie is absolutely the gold standard!”

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 Rockdale 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 Rockdale.

<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 Rockdale 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.
