“They sent plenty of pictures showing Cricket enjoying the yard and comfy Recliners. We will certainly use them again and recommend them to our friends. When I went to pick Cricket up she acted like she wanted to stay.”
“We have never felt so comfortable boarding any of our dogs as we have with Gloria and Mark. They treat your dog like family, and they give the best one on one attention that I have ever seen. They send pictures, have a wonderful set up for your dog with toys and treats, lounging and sleeping arrangements, and even neighbors who will come by and say hi. I cannot fully express just how amazing the experience is. Thank you so much for your kindness to us and to Summer.”
“Aratrika and her husband were amazing with Linus. 1000% recommended. Linus was so well taken care of, we received daily updates on Linus activities with so many photos. Aratrika made sure Linus was getting enough eating and excercise and communicated any questions to us right away. We could tell Linus was so very comfortable with Aratrika and her husband. We woul love to have Linus taken care by Aratrika again anytime!!!”
“Sarah was a great companion for my furbaby while I was away! She was very communicative throughout the duration of the boarding service, and I felt comfortable and at ease with having my dog in her care.”
About: Im a full-time PhD student at the college of Veterinary Medicine at UIUC. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking long walks, so I'm available to take pets out for walks longer than 30 minutes if necessary. I am currently able to board small and medium sized dogs at my home. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm a dog mom of two funny and loving mixbreeds: Willow, a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and Rorie, a Pekingese/Poodle mix. They are 11 & 16 years old respectively. I'm available throughout the day to care for your pet. I typically complete my work during the evening time. I will work my personal schedule around your dog's care and needs. I have two friendly senior dogs that can keep your pet company if you decide to board them with me. If desired, I can crate your pet with your preferred instructions.
“China was amazing. This was the first time I’ve booked a sitter on rover and she did her best to alleviate all my worries. My pup is super anxious and she did her best to help her eat her food and gave her all the time she needed to potty and do her business. She also gave my pup her meds which isn’t always easy! As long as she is available I will always go to China she’s awesome.”
“I can’t recommend Rachel enough! She took incredible care of my dog while I was away for a couple of weeks. He got plenty of exercise with walks, trips to the river, and adventures in the forest preserves. She even treated him to an ice cream after a long, fun day in the sun! Her communication was top notch, she sent frequent updates with details about his day and tons of great pictures that gave me total peace of mind. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, she’s the one!”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
“This was our second time boarding with Brittany, and we will be back! She takes the best pictures and gives us daily updates, and our pup was SO excited to see her when we dropped her off!”
“Michelle did such a wonderful job taking care of my dog when I had to travel for work. It was always stressful for me if I had to travel and worry about my dogs but Michelle made it so easy for me this time. She’s so awesome communicating on scheduling and understanding how to take better care of my dogs. During the stay, doggos looked really happy and stress less from tons of wonderful pictures she sent to me. It’s not hard to tell that she truly cares for my dogs! I’ll definitely go back to her!”
“Shaliyah and Ajanya were AMAZING care providers for our Sugar. He is a young, energetic, sweet dog and I wanted to make sure he was in good hands while we were out of town for a few days. They arranged a meet and greet at a nearby park. Both Shaliyah and Ajanya were kind and patient, yet firm with Sugar when needed. They maintained communication with us throughout his stay, sending updates with pictures and videos. They fed him, played with him, cuddled him, even practiced some commands with him and treated him like part of the family. Sugar was able to make some new doggie buddies, which I had been hoping for. He enjoyed time with their lovelies, Snipper and Ava. I highly recommend Shaliyah and Ajanya as your next boarder/sitter team!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 30+ years. Dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, et. al. I love caretaking and see it as a privilege to provide safe care for these wonderful beings while their family is away or need a break. I work from home and largely make my own schedule, so it is easy for me to tailor my day to fit the daily/weekly/monthly needs of those I am caring for. I ask many questions of clients to understand the environment that is best suited for their pet and take detailed notes. I can provide updates throughout the day, week, or whichever duration is best for my clients. I am a clear communicator and follow the needs outlined to me by the client.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tilton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Tilton 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 Tilton.
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 Tilton 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.
