“I wish I could give a 100 star review. Kyle is amazing and our dogs are so comfortable and happy at his house and with his family. I am beyond thankful for being able to drop our dogs off at a place they love and with a family that take such good care of them!”
“Amy is the best! This was our first time using Rover and the first time our dog stayed with a sitter. Amy was very responsive and friendly, gave daily updates with several photos, and clearly helped our dog (and us!) feel calm and comfortable while we were away. We are so grateful to her and will absolutely be booking again next time we are out of town. Thank you, Amy!!”
“This is the second time we've used Emily and she is wonderful! Our dog Diego loves being there and playing with their dog Maggie. She sends the cutest photos and Diego is always exhausted when he comes home. Highly recommend!”
“Megan and Brandon were very accommodating and responsive. My dog was able to run around their wonderful fenced in backyard and play with their two dogs. I had full confidence in their ability to take care of him.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter! She has a big family so the puppers are never alone. They have so much love to give! She sent me pictures all the time. Laura will definitely be my official dog sitter every time I am back in MN 11/10 would recommend! So happy!”
“Judy did a great job watching Bianka! She kept me updated about her and was very good at giving her her meds and sending photos and when I picked Bianka up, I could tell she was very happy that she stayed with Judy. I would definitely book with Judy again”
“William took care of our Mini Schnauzer for 11 days while we were at a national conference. He sent daily photos and words about our dog. This was a daily refresher for us knowing our dog was in good hands. Communicating with William was superb!”
“Mochi spent a full week with Carine and her family, and it went very well. Communication was excellent - Carine was attentive to all the details we shared and very responsive via text. We received updates throughout each day and during our trip, which we really appreciated. My kids loved seeing photos and updates of Mochi playing and cuddling with her kids. He was truly treated like one of their own, and it was clear how much he was loved, he will genuinely be missed by their family. Carine was also thoughtful about managing energy levels when another dog was staying at the same time and always checked in first. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mochi in her care and would absolutely use her again.”
“Kristi was great at being flexible setting up a meet and greet! She also made me feel comfortable about bringing them back to stay with her. I really enjoyed getting picture updates from her during their stay. I could tell they felt comfortable with her.”
“My dog had a great stay! Manami was great with Kyrah and sent lots of pictures of her while I was away. I know my dog has a lot of issues with anxiety in new people, but Manami took care of her like she was her own dog. Recommend and would book again! :)”
“Maria was very accommodating and was great with my dog, she has a really friendly household. She gave me daily updates and pictures along the boarding period, I will definitely be booking her again whenever the needs arise”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we contacted Britni, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Britni and her whole family were incredibly kind, reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us such peace of mind. Our dog was so happy and well cared for, and it was obvious that they genuinely love animals. Everything was handled perfectly, and we came home to a very happy, relaxed doggie. We would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with them again! Thanks again Britni ❤️🐾”
“Our dog Memphis was well cared for by Nikolai and his family. Easy meet and greet and great communication. Memphis takes meds daily, and there were no issues. Memphis loved the huge back yard, and hanging with the family. Will definitely book again!”
“Maria is simply the best! She took care of our two big boys while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. She sent updates and photos, and reassured us along the way that they were happy and content. She is selective in who she watches, making sure to do a meet and greet and evaluate how each one interacts with others. We had no worries when she had other dogs staying there as well. Our guys were happy to see us when we picked them up, but they also looked content and were snuggly with Maria. You could tell that they had developed a good relationship with her. Maria will be the first one we ask if we need dog sitting in the future.”
“Our dog had so much fun! Taylor sent me plenty of pictures and videos while we were gone for the weekend. We really appreciated the updates and would definitely book with Taylor & Chase again.”

There are 2,173 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rockford. About 91% 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.

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.
