“I felt so relieved to leave our doggie Whiskey with Susan and her husband. They gave him so much love and attention. She sent us so many pictures of how he was doing and his daily activities. She walked him, played with him and gave him all the love I could ever ask for. We felt so great leaving our doggie baby with her and have already planned another trip in the spring and have it booked. Im so happy I found her on Rover”
“Coco had a wonderful stay! It sounds like she made a lot of new dog friends! Jessica was so accommodating to add a last minute extra night when our flight was delayed! We’ll definitely be back!”
“Erin took such great care of our Sadie! I could tell from all the pictures that Sadie felt comfortable and happy. Knowing Sadie was well cared for, made our time away more enjoyable.”
“I want to start by saying I’m no stranger to dog sitters. I’ve been in need for someone to watch my dog many of times and in the past, my sitters have all been pretty good. However, when it comes to Pallvi, I have to say she was absolutely exceptional!! Plenty of checkins thought the sitting, very understanding on pick up and drop off timing, and super competitive pricing! Easily one of the best sitters I’ve gone with this far and I’ll admit I don’t plan on using any other sitter besides her in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! 10/10!!! 😊❤️💯”
“Jackie was great! She loved on my little guy while we were away and kept us connected with regular updates and pictures. I could see he was happy and well loved the entire time!! Thank you so much!!”
“Eric was awesome and super accomdating to us with timing even though our flight was delayed. We couldn't be more grateful for that and also knowing Papaya was in good hands during her stay. Papaya got along really well with Axl and Eric's family. We saw lots of pictures and a tired dog is always a good sign that she had tons of fun!”
“Very nice and accommodating for our needs! We had our dog undergoing treatment requiring special attention and medication. She handled everything without a problem as well as gave photo updates throughout the stay. We also got delayed in our travel back and she adjusted to our timeline no issues and was understanding. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Linda and George took amazing care of my pup. They sent update photos everyday and even took my pup out and about, which he loved every second of it! I would 1000% recommend them for any type of dog sitting and I know my pup can’t wait for the next trip back!”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life! I've owned dogs for as long as I can remember and have been pet sitting since I was just 7 years old. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Although I don't currently have pets of my own because I own a mobile bookstore and am sometimes out of town at events, I absolutely love welcoming furry guests into my home! Visiting dogs have plenty of room to run, explore, and play in my spacious, half-acre yard with a secure 6-foot fence. There's even an inground pool that some of my canine visitors love to enjoy with direct supervision! Inside, there are plenty of comfortable spots to relax, including a beautiful, sunny bay window that's always been a favorite lounging spot for visiting cats. I work remotely and am home approximately 90% of the time, allowing me to provide lots of attention, companionship, playtime, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures, playing fetch, or curling up for a cozy nap, I want them to feel completely at home. I am the sole caretaker for all pets booked through my Rover profile and personally handle all feeding, walks, supervision, and other pet care responsibilities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. You can expect regular photos, updates, and peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! I can't wait to meet your four-legged best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and am home about 90% of the time. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy active play in our large fenced yard, relaxing in a sunny spot by the bay window, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, they’ll have plenty of attention and supervision. Our family enjoys spending time outdoors and at home, so visiting pets become part of our daily activities and receive lots of love and interaction. Evenings are typically quiet and family-focused, making them a great time for cuddles, relaxation, and settling into a comfortable routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In our home, pets are treated like family members and are supervised throughout the day since I work remotely and am home most of the time. We have a secure half-acre yard with a 6-foot fence, providing plenty of space for safe outdoor play and exercise. All outdoor time is supervised, and I always follow each pet owner’s preferences regarding activity levels, feeding schedules, routines, and house rules. Inside, pets have access to comfortable living spaces where they can relax, play, or nap. I take time to help new pets feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and social or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe and at home. Communication is important to me, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos during your pet’s stay. I understand that every pet is a beloved family member, and I care for them with the same attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own.
“This was our first time leaving our fur baby with Kimberly and her family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was made to feel completely at home. The communication was fantastic—lots of updates, photos, and messages that gave us peace of mind while we were away. They made sure he was happy and stimulated, with daily walks, plenty of playtime, and attention. We’re so grateful for the care and love they showed. Truly an exceptional dog-sitting family!”
“Taylor and Samuel were amazing and took very good care of our dog. They made sure to send pictures and give updates and clearly enjoyed having him around. I would definitely recommend and book with them again!”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“Wonderful experience! This was our first time using a dog sitter, and John and his family made the entire process completely stress free. They kept me updated throughout the day, took great care of our dog, and there were no issues at all. I would definitely recommend John to any pet owner.”

“Tyler and his wife took great care of Ernie. They sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on his stay. They gave him his medication and even kept him company when he was hiding from thunderstorms in their bathroom. We would definitely use them again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sandwich
Sue was amazing! She sent picture and videos and multiple check in throughout the day letting me know how the dogs were doing. She was extremely understanding and attentive to all their needs. I was very anxious leaving them, but had nothing to worry about because they were in great hands!
Sue and Mark were the perfect people to leave our fur baby with for the week. Their home is so comfortable, and their large, beautiful fenced in yard is the perfect place for a dog to explore. Our pup received so much love and attention while he was there! We looked forward to all the pictures, videos, and updates we received everyday to see all of the fun adventures he was on. From walks in the forest preserve, trips to Silver Springs, and all the love and cuddles he enjoyed, we know he was one happy pup throughout his whole stay. Thank you Sue and Mark for taking such incredible care of Dodger! We truly appreciate it!

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 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.
96% of sitters in Sandwich 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 Sandwich 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 Sandwich.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sandwich. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sandwich 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 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 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.
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.
