“Great family who you can tell from the start love their dogs and love any dog that comes into their house. Both of their dogs are well behaved and allow your dog time to get used to being in new environment. They have a large fenced back yard that I know my toy Aussie just loved playing ball in. Already booked our next stay!”
“Ashley was great, upfront communication and alignment with the environment they had, which helped ensure a good fit. Her two dogs and the space made Thad feel right at home and welcome! Definitely going to keep at the top of this list for the future.”
“Anna-Lena is the person you can absolutely feel safe and comfortable having your best friend stay with her! She was incredibly helpful with watching over my dog by having great communication, greeting the dogs and keeping me up to date with pictures and little notes on the stay! I know my dog enjoyed herself and I was able to enjoy myself knowing my dog was with someone that takes safety, security, and also fun into staying with her! She will always be my first choice whenever help is needed again!”
“I can't say enough about Heather. Due to a scheduling conflict, she came and picked up our dog from our house. Our dog is very anxious and Heather spent a large amount of time with her, in our home. Heather did everything she could to make our dog feel comfortable. Heather couldn't get her out the first time over. She came to our house 4 times before she could get our dog out. Heather sent updates about how our dog was doing. Heather is patient and genuinely kind. We will use Heather again!”
“BJ is the most loving, caring sitter you could ever want! I was so stressed to leave our girl for two weeks but she was in good hands. The photo updates and messages were a daily highlight. We could see how much fun our pup was having and how much care and attention she was getting. We were afraid that she wouldn’t want to come home! Five stars isn’t a high enough rating—it should go to eleven!”
“We had the most amazing experience with Corinna! ! From the very first meeting, my dog connected with her instantly — which says everything. She has such a calm, warm energy, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. Her home is incredibly welcoming and comfortable for pets — clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up so they feel safe and relaxed. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was not only cared for, but genuinely loved while I was away. Budders made herself at home, instantly. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! Thank you Corinna! XO Budders”
“Was extremely happy with Izzie’s care. Izzie’s a senior dog and I figure she was more of an undertaking than what was expressed. To whatever extent that was the case I am more than grateful.”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since an early age. I’ve cared for my own pets and those of friends and family. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be with your fur babies all day. Weekends are for fun and time outside walking and socializing. I live in an apartment with a fair amount of green space and a paved pond area for daily walks. I’m also conveniently located next to a dog park as well! I have two sweet kitties to keep your babies company throughout the day too.
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
“Marissa was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly caring. She checked in regularly and sent the sweetest photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious she truly loved and cared for Kona, and that means everything to me. Even better, it was clear that Kona loved her right back. There’s nothing more reassuring than knowing your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m honestly just sad she doesn’t live closer because we would book her every single time without hesitation. I can’t recommend Marissa enough!”
“Carol was great with our dogs! She was very attentive and accommodating for our dogs specific needs. Was very reliable and always prompt with responding. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“One of the best hosts I have ever had the chance of working with Not only did she adjust the timings for us but also kept us upto date with daisy. Definitely will rebook her”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“Taylor was absolutely incredible with my little kittie boy Blue! I was scared to board him as he's only 6 months old but Taylor took great care and showed deep compassion for him. He came home excited and almost refreshed. I highly recommend Taylor if you're looking to board your cat or any other animal. Her passion and love for animals is very evident. Taylor will be the first one I call next time! Thank you so much Taylor! 5 Stars aren't enough!”

Every sitter on Rover 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.
100% of Viola sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Viola 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 Viola 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 Viola.
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 Viola 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.
