“Barbara was amazing with our little pup, Brucie. She is quick with communication, so caring, and you can tell that she really loves (and knows!) dogs. We got many pictures and updates throughout the day and Brucie always looked happy. Highly recommend. We will use Barbara again in the future.”
“I could not have felt more comfortable leaving my dog with Katalina and her husband. They seem to love hosting pups, they have a great set up in their home, and my dog was very well taken care of.”
“My dog had the best experience with her stay with Guillermina and looked so happy in all her photos and videos! Several photos, videos, and updates were sent each day and my dog was treated with so much love!”
“Cary is fantastic! I know my dogs are well cared for at her house. She sends great pictures and when we arrived, my dogs were super happy to be there, so that says a lot! Thank you Cary!”
“The best! Mercedes was so kind, patient and loving to my puppy. She kept me updated throughout the stay with texts and pictures to help ease my mind during my hectic wedding weekend. I would , and plan to, use her again. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time we have used Connie and we were happy yet again! Our dog was so excited to come in and be with Connie and Jojo at drop off. She sent pictures and kept in touch while we were away. Marco is blind, so I am sure he is extra work, but Connie has been amazing and we will use her again!! Thanks so much!!”
“Buddy had a wonderful time with them. They were extremely caring, responsive, and he had a great time with their dogs. They also kept me updated with pictures which I loved.”
About: I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I am a dependable, caring, and patient person and i genuinely love spending time with animals-especially dogs. I treat every pet in my care like my own. As a licensed xray technician and extensive healthcare background, you can rest assure that your pet will always be in good hands. My home is a quiet, non-smoking house. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and being genuinely loved as though they were my own. 🐶❤️ My schedule is exceptionally flexible and open, meaning my entire daily and weekly routine revolves completely around the pets in my care. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, midday companionship, or an extra-long afternoon walk, I will be there to provide it. Pets will be under my constant supervision and are never left unattended. I have a spacious backyard with grassy areas for potty breaks, playtime, or just to relax in fresh air- all surrounded by a privacy fence with secure locks at all points of entry.
“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”
“Lorraine is the best! She went above and beyond what I could have ever expected a sitter to do for my dog, Eazy. Eazy doesn't get along well with other dogs and Lorraine offered to drive out to the South Loop to pickup / drop off so that there were no encounters with other dogs. And it was even better that Eazy loved her home / yard so much so that I had a hard time getting her to come home! This was our second stay with Lorraine and I'm sure it won't be the last.”
“Tanqueray was phenomenal with my sweet but anxious older little guy. She took his unique needs into consideration as she thoughtfully planned his stay. He was comfortable and happy, which I knew because he doesn’t usually go up to sitters to say bye when I pick him up. But he did this with her. He made new doggy friends on his walks (which he’s also not always up to) and he and Sir, a sweet little guy, got along wonderfully. I’m grateful for Tanqueray and the loving care she took of my pup.”
“Everything went very well. Lucy seemed happy and well taken care of. Malchom, Nicole and kids do a great job letting Lucy be part of the family. I’m sure Lucy enjoys being with the children. Would definitely keep using their services.”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Dara was wonderful! We are always apprehensive leaving Nala with someone new, but Dara made us feel super comfortable with lots of updates and was communicative the whole time we were away!”
“We had another great experience with Angel. Ferris got along really well with his dogs so it was nice knowing he had buddies. Angel gave at least daily updates with photos and videos, took Ferris out for regular exercise, and was very flexible with timing and logistics.”
“Amazing experience, this was my first time using rover and Kaira made the experience 10 times better. Very attentive, communicated thoroughly and provide pictures to keep me at ease. Will definitely be booking again”
“This is our first time using Rover and Kendra made us comfortable and was very accommodating! She even got toys for our boys. She communicated well and sent lots of pictures. Fetty can be very anxious and they can be reactive to dogs, she was patient and worked well with them. We will definitely be using her in the future ❤️”

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.
Susseth was amazing taking care of Nino! Even though it was almost a last minute request, Susseth was very quick to respond and make sure Nino was a good fit to stay with her. She was also constantly sending over pictures showing Nino having a great time with the other dogs staying with. Would completely recommend!
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.
Michelle was prompt in communicating whenever something came up with Bramble that she needed clarification on. She was quick to respond for all the administrative arranging also. She was easy-going and calm. Bramble seemed comfortable being with her. I got daily photos to enjoy. I believe people would be very satisfied and secure leaving their pet with Michelle. I was!
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
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Summit Argo 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 Summit Argo.
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.
You and your Summit Argo 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.
