About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years, and my 15-year-old Pomeranian is a very special part of our family. He has been with us for so long that I honestly can’t imagine our home without him. I’m also a mom of three, so we have a busy but loving family home where pets are very much part of everyday life. My kids love dogs, and we’re used to having a furry member of the family around. Having a senior dog has taught me to be patient and pay attention to the little things. I know that older dogs sometimes need a little more rest, more frequent potty breaks, and extra care and attention. We also travel to Egypt and Serbia every year, and my Pomeranian has flown overseas with me many times. I know how much work it can be to travel with a dog, and I also know how hard it is to leave them behind. That’s actually one of the reasons I decided to offer boarding. I’ve had to leave my own dog with people I trusted, and even then, I knew he acted differently because I wasn’t there. I remember wondering if he was okay, if he was comfortable, and if someone was giving him the same attention I would. So when your dog stays with me, I want you to feel comfortable too. I’ll get to know your dog’s routine, personality, feeding schedule and what makes them happy and comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with pictures so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. We have a fenced backyard, and I’ll take dogs for daily walks on the beautiful 2-mile path around Stellwagen Farm, which is only a few minutes from our home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. To me, they’re not just a booking or another dog staying at my house. They’re someone’s family — just like my Pomeranian is part of mine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and am available pretty much all the time, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving home with a fenced backyard,and a finished basement. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most of the time and can give your dog lots of attention throughout the day. I also have a senior Pomeranian, so I understand the importance of patience and making sure every dog feels comfortable.

“Highly recommended. Raymond exceeded our expectations. Our 1.5 year old German Shepard was boarded and well cared for during our travels. We received plenty of photos and videos of Korra throughout her stay. She ate well and got plenty of excercise. Raymond asked many questions about her prior to boarding. She was loved and her needs were cared for throughout her stay. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was very happy every day we were away from her. Thank you Raymond!!”
“Rebecca was theeee absolute best!! I'm so glad we found her. She took the best care of our boy and made him sooo comfortable. This was our first time using this service and I'm so glad we did. She is the best and we plan on using just her for our dog in the future!”
About: I have many years of experiences caring for pets of all breeds and sizes. You can trust that your pet will be in loving hands with me. I’m currently taking a career break, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attentive care. I have an active lifestyle and love the gratification that comes with caring for animals. I’m currently living in a pet friendly apartment. While I don’t have a yard, I would love to take your dog for long walks around the neighborhood.
“If you want complete peace of mind, book Twanna W. immediately! She recently cared for my senior golden retriever pit mix, H'Raka, for four days and treated him like royalty. She made sure he got plenty of exercise, kept me updated with photos and videos, and followed through with my request and bought him his own bed to make sure he was comfortable. H'Raka loved romping with her two boys and came home incredibly happy. Twanna’s generosity and attentiveness are unmatched. I am so grateful for her and will definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog and cat for 7 years and before then was the go to sitter for all my friends with pets! I’m also a PhD student in psychology working in animal behaviors. Since young, I understand animals and respect them: how we treat them influences their behaviors. I’ve got the heart and the training to give your babies the best care they deserve when you are away! My schedule is flexible as long as we communicate in advance. My weekdays are mostly spent at home for academic work, and can adjust for drop in visits easily. I have a comfy apartment with one dog and one cat. They’ll keep your baby company if you board with us. I’m skilled in introducing new animals to each other, I try to adjust to each animals temperaments. For all services, I appreciate your tips as you know them the best!

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.

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.
