“Rebekah was wonderful! She took great care of our dog, was always quick to respond, and very flexible. We felt completely comfortable knowing our girl was in good hands. We would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I once had dreams of being a vet and spent two summers as an intern at a vet clinic, but learned quickly that that is not necessarily the career to choose just because you love animals, haha. That being said, I love both dogs and cats and have been a volunteer at animal shelters since 2017. I currently have a sweet but shy 6 year old cat named Rhiannon. I work remotely on weekdays, so I am home throughout the day for companionship and frequent potty breaks, if needed. I love to go on evening walks in my local park as well. I live in a single family home with an unfenced yard, but any bathroom breaks would be under my full watch and care. I have one sweet but shy cat, but she has her own room if your pet is not okay with other animals.
“Always trust Lainey with my girl! She has taken care of her as she has grown up and has gotten to know my puppy so well! My dog gets to go on vacation when she boards with her!”
“Gilana was an incredible sitter for my dog, Edison! I recently moved into town and it’s always tricky to find someone new to trust with caring for your pet. Gilana was kind, communicative, and clearly made Edison feel right at home. I also felt extra confident that Edison was in good hands knowing she is training in the veterinary field. What really made her stand out is I had a very stressful, last-minute flight change, which left me stuck across the country for an extra day. Gilana was able to extend coverage for Edison. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her flexibility and understanding. Thank you, Gilana!”

“She knows what she’s doing! Took care of our dogs for four days without any issues and even took them on walks. She sent pictures and updates everyday which really took away any worries we had. Thank you Nina!”
About: I cherish the time I’ve spent caring for cats and dogs and interacting with them has been fulfilling and a fantastic addition to my life. Caring for my dogs and cats, enjoying the love and attention you receive in return for your efforts is a wonderful addition to the human experience I really like taking my dogs for exercise, and I have a big imagination and enjoy coming up with interesting ways to play inside in inclement weather
“Christina and her family took amazing care of my dog and she had a great time! She even got a bath and she smells great. Thank you so much — we will definitely use you again in the future!!”
About: I’ve had house dogs for most of my adult life. I recently had to put my little guy to sleep after 13 years and I’m looking to fill that void he left! I’m patient and loving. I now have a 6 pound chihuahua that’s 9 and very laid back I’ve just started this business but you won’t find someone more passionate about caring for your dog I work a few part time hours and would be pretty flexible with my schedule. Able to spend quality time with your pet and give the attention I would care for your pet as you do. I have a condo and a great neighborhood for walks. They will be very comfortable and happy with me
“Ishaan and Da Yeon are very easy to work with. They responded my inquiry very fast with all the information they need to be well prepared. They are very kind and patient to my babies which made them very happy during and after the stay. Very satisfied”
About: I grew up with animals, and am experienced with taking care of cats and dogs. In Champaign, I have had four cat over different times and now I have a Doodle dog, who is a caring and loving gentleman! I am mostly available in the morning, late afternoons, and early evenings. Other times I spend my time studying at the library and trying to graduate toward my PhD degree. I live in a house and have lots of free space. We have a fenced yard with short fences that work for our large doodle just fine. However, if your fur baby is an escape artist, our fence might be too short and flimsy...

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Urbana
Rachel was wonderful with Polar! He had such a great time staying with her and was so comfortable and happy. She kept us updated and sent us lots of cute photos, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. We’d definitely have Polar stay with Rachel again!
Nina was available when I booked her last minute, she was very accommodating and asked a lot of questions about Nikko to best take care of him, which I very much appreciate! Nikko was so calm when I picked him up! I could tell he trusted him even for a short time he spent with Nina!
Another great visit with Gloria! Buddy always comes home happy, well cared for, and relaxed. So relaxed that he’s crashed and been asleep for the last two hours. I think maybe he had a really good time It’s such a comfort knowing he’s in loving, capable hands while we’re away. Thank you again, Gloria—we appreciate you so much and look forward to Buddy’s next stay!
Sarah was wonderful with my dog Lilia during her two-night stay! She was very friendly and took great care of her, including taking her on walks and sending me photo updates throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to know my dog was happy and in good hands. I would definitely book with Sarah again!
I’ve left my puppy with Quinesha twice now, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! She’s super nice, and my puppy absolutely adores her. She also sends plenty of photos and daily updates, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
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.
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!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
