“Ian did a great job with my very high energy one year-old pit mix. Sent lots of pics & updates, which I greatly appreciate as someone whose separation anxiety is worse than my dog’s. Wiley got to make a lot of friends & romp around in the yard. When he got home he slept like a rock for hours. Would gladly book Ian again in the future!”
“We needed someone to take care of our sweet dog for a week while we were on vacation and Arlene was the best. She took us last minute and had other dogs to play with and walk with, but not in an overwhelming way. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Our pup, June, has loved her stays with Cheri. Most recently, she stayed with Cheri over our Spring break which coincided with June’s birthday. Cheri was amazing, she celebrated June’s birthday with a pup party, complete with cake and a party hat!!”
“Claire did amazing with our 8 mo puppy. Claire is very calm, experienced, and caring. Besides taking good care of our pup, Sage also came home with a new skill I hadn’t been able to teach. Claire had a great assessment of Sage, and was able to meet her on her level. We already have future dates swith Claire cheduled.”
“Bear was so well taken care of with Maria! She sends pictures and videos everyday and accommodates all his special needs. I even last minute had to extend my boarding and she was able to do so with no issue. I know Bear is in good hands whenever he’s with Maria!”
“My husband and I went to Japan and it was our first time traveling abroad while owning a dog. I was understandably nervous at the idea of being away from our furry baby, Lexi for an extended length of time, so I wanted to make sure we found the perfect dog sitter! Kazuhiro and Akemi were absolutely wonderful! They kept us updated everyday with pictures and videos and always responded to my texts. Lexi went on several long walks everyday and received lots of attention and affection. When we travel again, we will definitely be using Kazuhiro's and Akemi's services! Thanks again for everything!”
“Makda was wonderful and took great care of our pups for us. She provided us with pictures and updates of our dogs. She was also very thoughtful in caring for our fur babies. We will be sure to rover our dogs with Makda in the future!”
“Megan was fabulous! I was nervous about leaving my senior dog with some health issues for 10 days. But after doing a trial run with Megan I couldn’t have felt more comfortable! She has so much experience, was extremely communicative and my dog loved her. She didn’t blink an eye at all the daily medications he had. Thank you, Meagan!”
“1st time leaving my dog with complete strangers but when I tell you, it was the best decision we made. When I walked into their home to dropped my dog off, there was such a calmness I felt, all nervousness disappeared immediately. My dog was loved and well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures from the family. I will 100% have them sit my dog again.”
“Bridget and her family are the absolute best. I have peace of mind knowing my pup will be well taken care of and happy when I have to go out of town. 10/10 recommend Bridget!”
“I felt like our dog was in really great hands. Our dog is a bit older and has some quirks and needs daily meds, but Vladimir and Laura didn’t bat an eye. You can tell they are seasoned dog sitters.”
“Naomi was great!! She was very prepared and ready to learn about and to care for our dogs just the way they needed. Our dogs had the best time taking long walks, lounging, and looking out the big window. She took the time to introduce our dogs and Milo and they became great friends. The house was quiet, very clean, and perfect for our dogs. We loved seeing the daily photos while we were traveling. Definitely would recommend!”
“Abigail was awesome. I have an older dog and am always worried about leaving her. Abigail was so kind and sent many photos treating her like her own. Definitely will you her again and recommend to anyone❤️”
“Mariposa had her first overnight with Sophia and Andy. They shared photos during her stay and she came home tired--a sign that she had a good time. We've already rebooked two more visits.”
“Cary was great with my dog! Very friendly, calm and accommodating! I was nervous about finding someone to watch my dog for me, she has strong opinions about people and doesn't like everyone, but she warmed right up to Cary, we had no issues at all!”
“Mia is warm, dependable, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dog felt safe, comfortable, and happy with her. We could not have asked for a better experience. We would trust Mia again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly.”

Cheri is an experienced, responsible pet sitter. My Golden had a wonderful time with her with lots of playtime, attention, pets, and good care. She seemed very comfortable and happy, and I was impressed with Cheri's ability to understand individual dogs and their needs. I will definitely book again and recommend Cheri to anyone looking for dependable, loving pet boarding.
Doug and Deb were great with Regina over the long weekend. They were communicative and understanding of some of her more unique needs. Regina was very calm when picked up and clearly was pretty relaxed during her stay. We felt fully relaxed as well. Look forward to booking again!
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 Meet & Greet .
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. 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.
