“Diana and her family were so wonderful to our puppy, Obi! I was so appreciative of the updates and pictures of our puppy since this was the first time we have ever used a dog sitter. Obi even seemed sad when we got home since he bonded so much with one of their dogs! We will for sure reach out to Diana whenever we are going to travel again. Thanks Diana!!”
“Sebastian was fantastic! Took great care of my boy and was very communicative and flexible. Luca can be energetic and him and Sebastian’s dog nacho got along great! I’m looking forward to booking him again.”
“Wonderful experience boarding our pup for the weekend! Makda had great communication and was very flexible around flights. Max had a great time, lots of attention and care. A home away from home ❤️ Can’t thank them enough!”
“Chelsea did such a wonderful job caring for Daisy and her dog Winston apparently enjoyed the visit as well. We would rebook Daisy with them in a heartbeat.”
“Jamie took such great care of my dog, Leia! She was super sweet and provided frequent communication about how it was going. I got lots of pictures and updates and, most importantly, Leia had a great trip and was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“I had a last minute emergency and had to leave town and my pup behind. Thankfully, Rachel and Vincent were accommodating and flexible! I got plenty of communication with questions and updates throughout the day, putting me at ease. Thank you so much!”
“Suzanne was amazing. Our dogs loved her, she cared for and loved on them like they were her own. She was patient as they got used to her space and made sure to keep me updated as they adjusted. We were really able to enjoy our time away knowing Suzanne was taking such great care of our pups. She was great with communication and took some of the best pic--bonus points for the photo shoot at sunrise :) We can't wait to use her again!”
“Nina took great care of my dog! She provided daily updates and pictures, and you can tell that she really cares about your pet and keeping them happy and healthy. Will be booking with her in the future!”
“My little pups and I LOVE Alexandra! She is kind, loving, and attentive with my furbabies and we appreciate her very much. Feel comfortable and confident leaving my pups with her!”
“First time ever use Rover. We were lucky to find Mikey just less than a mile away from our house and very reasonable charge. The communication with Mikey was smooth and clear, he took a very good care of my Charlie (first time ever boarding at the sitter’s place), Ridley is a good host as well to accommodate Charlie like a big brother! My experience with Rover and Mikey are super good, will come back to Mikey again!”
“Megan took such amazing care of my frenchie, and I will 100% be rebooking with her!! My dog can be nervous around new people, but made himself at home the second he met her and walked in her apartment. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy my trip and know he was in good hands while she sent photo updates throughout the week. My dog didn’t want to leave her when I came to pick him up LOL so I think that speaks to the care she provides. Thank you for treating him like family, Megan!!”
“Eileen was very responsive in email communication with us regarding caring for our two dogs. She took time to understand the feeding requirements for each pet. In addition, Eileen provided updates and photos during our travels. We could tell our pets were having a good time during the stay. Thank you Eileen.”
“Erica did an excellent job watching my dog, Lenny, and I strongly recommend booking her services if she is available. Her communication was great (including plenty of pictures!) and she demonstrated a level of care that let me rest assured while out of town.”
“This is our second time leaving Boogie with Brennan, and if he could be our sitter every time we left town it would be amazing! Boogie loves him and that is all that matters to us. Brennan is the best!”

Jacob was the perfect host - warm, flexible, communicative, and affectionate with my two dogs. He provided a safe cozy space and a built-in playmate in his own sweet-tempered puppy. Also, Jacob sent photos and updates regularly, giving us extra comfort. He’s terrific.
This was Jenny's longest (and 8th) stay with Doug & Deb. She was under-the-weather, and they went above & beyond to ensure she felt safe & comfortable. Doug went to the vet to get her medicine. Jenny loves to walk but is difficult to walk due to her reactivity. Still Deb took her out for little walks. Jenny looks forward to her next visit in November!
Cynthia is great! She is so easy to work with and obviously loves dogs so much. She has a warm home with a fun time for the dogs that stay with her. My dog is a senior and also has a few extra care instructions, and she happily accommodated with our supplements and eye drops. We would (and will) happily send our dog back to her anytime. Highly recommend!
My one and only “complaint” about Clarissa is that I think my dog loves her more than she loves me. Seriously, Sally always looks so relaxed and content in the pictures Clarissa sends, which she does regularly. The first time I left Sally with her I was super nervous - this time I could relax knowing she was in good hands.
Usually our boys are wining and panting when we pick them up. With Myriam, they did the opposite and hesitated leaving. Myriam did very well taking care of our two little ones and sharing updates/pictures every day. This was our first booking with her and she exceeded our expectations!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
