“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Our pup Carson had a wonderful stay with Angela and her family! I received the cutest daily pictures of him and all the fun he was having with them. He was spoiled in the best ways and I am so thankful for all the love they provided during his stay, he was so comfortable and I can tell he had the best time with everyone and their pup Honey as well. 10/10 recommend!”
“We absolutely love having Diedre watching our dogs. My two pups were staying with her this weekend, and while one of my dogs was immediately very happy there, my other dog was very reactive and anxious around her dogs (this is normal for my dog - her dogs were great). Instead of it ruining our weekend, she pivoted and was so flexible and did drop in visits with our reactive/anxious dog. In the end, both of my dogs got what they wanted - Tilly got to stay and play and Sadie got to be comfortable at home, and got individualized attention. Both dogs were well taken care of and very happy. 10/10 🥰”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“This was my first time using Rover and am very happy with the experience. Megan was very responsive and provided daily updates. I felt comfortable leaving my dog at her house and would definitely book with her again.”
“Michael took great care of our sweet 11-yo dog, Jenny! This was our first time using Rover and Michael made it a great experience. Jenny was happy and we received many photos while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Cecilia took excellent care of Ruby and sent updates and pictures which I really appreciated! I felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands : ) My pup was happy at the end of her stay!”
“Balaji and his Wife took great care of our pet. Friendly couple who love dogs. They have been very responsible and responsive. They were very prompt in sending updates. They even trained our pet. Highly recommend them.”
“Rhondarose is INCREDIBLE! Our dog’s second visit with Rhondarose and her family went perfect. She thoroughly communicated with us and sent great pictures while we were away with updates of how she was doing. Our dog had so much fun and was pooped upon picking her up- evidence of a great time!”
“Don’t wait to book your dog’s stay with Debbie and her lovely family! She gave our 6 month Golden Retriever so much love and attention while we were away. We’ve already rebooked with Debbie for our next trip. She kept us updated with photos and made us feel at ease. Thank you Debbie!!”
“Elisa was the BEST dog sitter for my pup, Penny. I was caught in a bind and needed a sitter for my 6 month old puppy at the last minute. Elisa took such good care of her, and kept me up to date on how she was doing throughout her stay. She felt so comfortable knowing Penny was in good hands and felt safe with Elisa. I will definitely reach out to Elisa the next time I need a sitter! I can't thank her enough!”
“Megan was amazing! We had to go out of town unexpectedly and Megan was able to accommodate us last minute. One of our pups started to have stomach issues the night before and thought I’d have to cancel but Megan was more than willing to care for our pup and administered his medication. She gave great updates and really treated them like her own. Both our pups loved playing with their pup, Cooper, and had a great time. I would highly recommend Megan and will be using her for future dog sitting needs. Copper and Penny were sad to leave! Thank you so much!”
“Eliza took such great care of our George! She sent updates and photos which we really appreciated! Thank you Eliza! George loved his stay with you and his new friend Lola :)”
“Michelle was great! Excellent communication, plenty of pictures sent while we were gone. Benny certainly looked like he was having a good time there, and she was helpful and understanding when our plane was delayed”
“Xu and Sam were absolutely wonderful. We left our senior girl with them for the weekend and couldn’t have picked a better home. They truly took care of her like she was their own.”
“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her whole family treated my dog like one of their own, giving her so much love, care, and attention every single day. I truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for while I was away. I would trust Luciana with my dog again without hesitation. I highly, highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. She is simply the best!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sylvan Lake
Amanda and her family were very kind to take Copper in at short notice. They have a big fenced backyard that is perfect for a dog that enjoys running around and being outdoors. She sent photos and gave updates during his stay. Copper came home happy and fresh from a bath. We forgot one of his toys and Amanda was kind enough to let us know about it and arranged a time to pick it up after his stay. Thank you again!
Mallory and her husband were absolutely wonderful! They instantly made our dog, Bentley, feel right at home. They sent daily updates and adorable photos that made it easy for us to enjoy our vacation, knowing that Bentley was in the best of hands. We couldn’t recommend them more!

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 Sylvan Lake home-away-from-home, 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 Sylvan Lake.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Sylvan Lake 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 , 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 .
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.
