“June is amazing, she made of feel very comfortable leaving out DOG mocha with her family. June was great at responding immediately, asking care questions and helping with logistics. I can not recommend enough. Mocha came back so tired from the walks and their backyard, she had a great time.”
“Carla did a great job watching and taken care of our dog Lizzo while we were out of town. She always provided amazing updates, photographs and videos of our pet, so we had a peace of mind. Lizzo seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. She play with her two dogs, especially her sweet heart Stella. At night, Lizzo slept with Carla. We are luck to have her because Carla really went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She is very trust worthy and caring and definitely recommend her.”
About: I have been training/showing my dogs since 2002. I have been watching friends and family dogs for 10 years, puppy through 12 years old. While in my care basic manners will be reinforced through positive methods only. Having dogs in my home is always a joy. I am newly retired and now have the opportunity without work restrictions to care for your dog in my home with availability seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with a locked gate and a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if it is needed. My dog’s manners are always reinforced and awarded and so will yours in my care.
“Thank you for taking such good care of our senior frenchie, Duke. He had a great time and I had no doubt he was in great hands while we were out of town. Marta was quick to respond to messages and sent great pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“A very loving family with lots of pet experience. They were able to teach my dog how to “drop” a ball after fetching. Before she would not want to give it up after fetching a toy. They also helped her learn how to get along with other dogs.”
“Brian and his fiancé cared for my dogs during a last minute weekend trip and I greatly appreciated the willingness to take my two dogs and look after them. They were wonderful with my dogs! Thank you”
“JoAnne is amazing, great!! She is super nice and took care of my beagle as if she was hers. She has taken care of Keyla twice already. I highly recommend her and for sure would leave my dear Keyla again with her. She is the best.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.
“I felt that Marble was in good hands and didn’t have to worry about him at all during our trip while he was with Bath. He seemed very happy in the pictures she sent on his walks! Thank you!”
“We love these guys! Our puppies feel at home and are well loved, treated as family and always have a great time. The timely updates, lovely artistic pictures and videos and the great care they offer our pups is invaluable.”
“Katerina was just what our Jack needed while we were out of town. She was very flexible, and super sweet to our Jack!! She was very warm and welcoming. She sent videos and pics daily and took him to the dog park quite a bit. I know we will definitely use Katerina again in the future.”

Dorothy has taken care of my dog Jules twice now and will be doing so again very soon. She is an excellent communicator and clearly loves animals and devoting time to them. Jules ran right up onto her porch when we arrived recently. Dorothy sends cute pictures of him relaxing or being more active. I highly recommend her!
Cooper had a relaxing long stay with June and Wade! Daily pictutures and updates were wonderful. Looked forward to them every day. June also realized Cooper's food had to be frozen to prevent from being spoiled. Such an amazing sitter who pays attention to details and needs of our little guy. Thank you so much for allowing me and my husband to relax knowing Cooper is in good hands!!
I don’t think words can emphasize just how positive an experience working with Carolyn was. Our 13-year-old Chihuahua mix has had some long-standing trust issues and can be stand-offish to strangers. Carolyn was able to gain our dogs’ trust each day while also providing the highest level of care and communication possible. For our little dog to feel comfortable with a new person speaks volumes to the type of patience and compassion Carolyn provides. We received daily updates and photos from Carolyn to reassure us our pet was well taken care of and to communicate any questions or tips to make his stay more comfortable. He received plenty of walks and interaction to stimulate him throughout the day and tire him out for a good night’s sleep. Our little guy barked and howled the first night, but Carolyn stayed patient and by the second night he was completely settled in and sleeping through the night. I highly recommend working with Carolyn and we will continue to work with her any time we need someone to watch our little dog.
Great experience for Violet while she stayed with Paul and Bella. She either was exhausted of chasing Bella all weekend long in the yard or missed her that match because Violet stayed on the coach sleeping the whole day after coming back home! ❤️ We received messages and pictures during the stay and we really appreciate Paul's engagement and care. We will definitely use Paul's services again!
Jill was super great. She took amazing pictures of the pups and sent them to us as an updatem they were vetter than any pictures that i habe ever taken. She has a nice little yard that is fenced in and she was super understanding and kind about our return travel being delayed causing us to get back to pick up the dogs later than we had originally planned. We would rebook her again in a heartbeat.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Trout Valley can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Trout Valley 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 Trout Valley.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Trout Valley. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Trout Valley 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
