“Shout out to Jasmine! Such a great experience with her! My dog Bulleit is a high-maintenance Border Collie who needs a lot of attention from his humans, so finding the right sitter has always been challenging and honestly gives me a lot of anxiety. And Bulleit said Jasmine is his favorite sitter, since he usually roasts me and barks at me for at least 1mins upon his pickup from daycare/boarding, but this time there’s no complaint🤣 Jasmine made everything so easy for me😭She’s incredibly caring and loving, and she kept me updated on how my dog was doing with lots of cute pictures. You can also tell that she has plenty of experience with different kinds of dogs and really knows how to make them feel comfortable. And doggos don’t lie, you can simply tell from their behavior whether they like their sitter and whether they’ve been treated well. I could tell that my dog felt genuinely happy, comfortable, and secure staying with Jasmine. For the first time, I was actually able to relax while I was away instead of constantly worrying about him. Highly recommend!! ❤️🐶”
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
“Kamiah & Casius were great with my fur baby. It was my first time using a service like this and I was so nervous. Kamiah was understanding of my nerves answered all my questions. She sent daily photos and videos. She was understandable with my travel delays and when I picked my dog up she was smiling and continued to do so for the rest of the evening. There were no stress signals or behaviors from my dog and she was right back into her routine at home. Thank you for taking such great care of Macci!! Will definitely use again”
“Monica and Calvin were great!!!! Gizmo seem to be comfortable which made me feel better. Being this was my first experience with leaving him. Thank you guys again for everything. You guys will be my go to when available!!!”
“Once again Charlie had a great stay with Liz! he is still tired from all the play he had. We always feel at ease when we travel knowing our dog is in good hands!”
“Barbara was great she's definitely a dog person.Harley is a big friendly puppy.but can be too friendly. No problem with Barbara she sent updates and videos pictures I had no worries about Harley she was there for 1 week. Would definitely use her again!!”
“Lesslie took great care of pup! I can tell that my dog really enjoys being with Lesslie and her family because she never wants to leave when I go to pick her up. She makes sure to provide timely updates and very communicative throughout the entire dog sitting process. Will definitely continue to book with her again.”
“Niamh was absolutely great with Dooly. She provided photos throughout my time away, and Dooly also loves her as well! Great communication, and I will definitely rebook.”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Amy was amazing! I left my cat Dino in her care for over a week, and she was very communicative, kind, and caring for my cat. By the end of his stay, he was even cuddling with her throughout the night because of how comfortable he was. Will definitely book again! 10/10 service would recommend”
“Christina’s family is so caring and loving! You can tell how much their kids enjoy hanging out with Milo and accepted him as part of the family. It’s so great to see how sweet their dog Brydie is too! I know he always has a great experience with Christina and her family 💗”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and have been surrounded by dogs my entire life. Caring for pets has always been a passion of mine. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I strive to provide loving, patient, and reliable care. Your furry family members will always be treated like my own! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work part-time from home. This gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attention, playtime, walks, and loving care throughout the day. I'm able to be present and attentive to each pet's needs while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. My home has a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime, exercise, and fresh air. I also have three friendly, playful dogs who love having company! I always prioritize each dog's safety, comfort, and individual needs, making sure they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I want every pet to feel right at home! 🐾❤️
“Ian was great and I would 100% book with him again. He was very attentive and provided detail of his plans to ensure I did not worry. Watson seemed to have had a great time hanging out in the yard and going on walks. Highly recommend!”

Barbara is a very sweet and caring individual. We received multiple daily updates plus numerous photos on how Sunny was doing. Barbara truly has a gift in caring for animals. When we got back and went to pick up Sunny, Sunny ran back to Barbara and gave her a hug. Top notch all the way. We will definitely use Barbara again.
Since our 2 dogs are seniors (18 & 15) and have special needs, we had to look for a person who understands the challenges of taking care of them. We got lucky with Angelina and how she was able to help take care of our dogs for a week while we were away. She was extremely flexible with learning what works for our dogs, and you could actually see that she cares. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day,on a daily basis, which was very much appreciated! I couldn't recommend her enough, esp if you're looking for a sitter/caregiver that understands seniors and special needs dogs.
Had a meet and greet with Cary and her daughter. Juno immediately leaned into her daughter which was a good sign (picked her person). Cary carefully introduced her to her dog and explained how she would care for Juno. I had to make several changes and Cary was very understanding and accommodating which was a stress reliever for me. I picked up Juno and she was so happy to see me unlike my previous experience with another sitter where Juno appeared to be mad at me (lol). Well Juno has been on the couch resting so I know she had a good time otherwise she wouldn’t be so tired. Cary responded to my text and sent video of Juno. Oh and Juno smelled so good and looked good when I picked her up. I felt that Juno was well taken care of. Thank you Cary (and fam) will definitely be using Cary again!
Lauren has taken care of my dog Kylo, three times and I couldn't be happier with her care. Lauren is an amazing dog sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving Kylo with her. Since Kylo is diabetic it is especially important that he stays on his feeding schedule and receives his insulin injections on time, and Lauren is incredibly responsible and attentive to his needs. She provides multiple updates throughout the day, including pictures, detailed messages and even Wooftrax updates so I know how long his walks are. Kylo is very comfortable with her, and she does such a wonderful job of making him feel safe and cared for. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a trustworthy and caring dog sitter for our baby. We truly appreciate everything Lauren does for our precious pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.
Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
Olivia kept my baby Leah for the weekend while I went out of town, and I was honestly nervous because anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my baby. But Olivia was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and updates the whole time, which really helped me relax. She even gave Leah extra treats and sent her home with some too. I ended up needing to extend my trip unexpectedly, and Olivia was super understanding and flexible about it. That meant a lot to me. Leah was clearly well taken care of and loved while she was there. Olivia will forever be my baby’s home whenever I’m away. I’m so grateful I found her!
Overall, my dog had a great 3-week stay. I received regular pictures and updates, which made me feel confident and at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. He got to play with their dogs and clearly felt comfortable in their home. I really appreciated the care, communication, and attention they gave my dog, and I’m grateful for how welcoming they were. I would recommend them and would consider booking again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 5,360 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Summit. About 90% of Summit 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.

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 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.
