“What a wonderful sitter! My partner and I loved all the pictures and messages sent throughout the day, it really put us at ease. I will absolutely be contacting Yuli again for any future doggie day care needs. Our dogs loved her and you could tell she and her family really loved them back too.”
“Thank you so much Alicia and Simon for taking care of Milo. it looks like he had great time at your house playing with Teddy and Daisy. Thank you so much for taking him out for a walk daily. Milo enjoys outside walk. Mamatha”
“Maureen was absolutely amazing with Kera and Beau. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can genuinely tell how much she loves dogs. Beau is still young and has a ton of energy, while Kera is older and likes to take things a little slower, and Maureen did such a good job making sure both of their very different needs were taken care of. It made me feel so good knowing they were getting the attention each of them needed. I would trust Maureen with them again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dogs like they’re her own.”
“We highly recommend Kyle! Our dog, Waffles, loves to stay with them, we have used Kyle several times for long trips and we appreciate the updates he sends us and love that our dog just gets to join in on their day to day routine! Love coming home from a trip to a happy and tired dog.”
“Molly had a great time again with Regan! Its nice to know that she is well taken care of and loved while I was away. She played enough that she needed a nap when she got home! Thanks again!”
“Great experience working with Leza! Was away for the weekend and she sent many pictures and messages to keep me updated. Scout seemed like he had a great time. Would highly recommend!”
“Kristi was very personable with us and River. She provided pictures and information on a little spat that took place in her care. Nobody was hurt and I believe each other was respectful of each other's space after that. We would differently use her boarding services in the future if she will have us. I appreciate that she was available on such short notice.”
“Emily and her family took the BEST care of our dog, Archie. They made Archie feel right at home. I was sent pictures that showed just how comfortable Archie was, he was happy and truly, living his best life!! Emily's family dog, Maggie, was so sweet and the two dogs really seemed to get along well. I would absolutely recommend Emily for your pet's stay. Her and her family were SO kind and easy to communicate with, very prompt and helpful. This was our first "Rover" experience and I feel so fortunate we found this wonderful family.”
“Ali and her fiancé provide the perfect home away from home. It is very obvious that they truly love animals and make sure to treat yours as their own. Will definitely ok again.”
“Shreya and her family took great care of our dog! He is high energy and anxious and we were grateful for the patience and care they provided! We would forsure have our dog there again and recommend her to anyone!”
“My first time using Rover! Judy was wonderful, taking exceptional care of my pug, Romeo. He was happy, content and settled right in. Judy texted updates with pictures daily! I was able to enjoy my trip knowing he was being well cared for. Thank you, Judy!”
“Alicia was absolutley fantastic! She was very easy to deal with and kept us up to date on how our dog was doing the entire time we were gone. I would definitely use her again! Thank you Alicia!”
“Chase, Taylor, and their boys were the perfect fit for our two pups! They provided a worry-free place for our pups to hang out while we hosted our sons' wedding weekend. We will absolutely use them again!”
“Carine and Eric took excellent care of my older Boston terrier. They kept me up to date on his activities and provided photos while we were away. I felt comfortable knowing he was in caring and capable hands. Will gladly book with them again for future care!”
“Rene is great and my dog King loves her. Apparently he sneaked out under a small rabbit hole - not her fault cuz King tends to dig and look for where he can escape. He returned without problem and I will always continue to use Rene as my doggy sitter. She takes great care of him!!”
“First time using Rover and Enrique exceeded our expectations! Was so responsive, sent pics, and updates throughout the day. We were so lucky to have found him, and he will be a go to in the future! He watched our very young puppy and gave her the love and attention she needed (especially being so young). Our puppy also made a new bestie with his sweet dog Buttons. Definitely gave us peace of mind knowing our new puppy was with a great family!”
“Wesley was fantastic with our dog while for four nights of boarding. He was exceptionally good at communicating, sending updaters with photos, and making us feel at ease even though we hadn’t worked with Wesley before. It was so lovely to pick our pup up from Wesley where he was smiling and clearly well cared for! We will definitely ask Wesley to help again in the future.”
“Andrea is a lover of animals. She loved my dogs as if they were her own, and I felt at peace, knowing that they were well taken care of while we were gone. She was so kind and such a good communicator. She sent me photos of my pups every day! I feel very lucky to have met this contact and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”

There are 2,195 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rockford. About 92% of Rockford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 MN 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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
