“Jayne was amazing - definitely the best caretaker I have worked with thus far. Gumbo absolutely loved her and it showed through in all the pictures she sent me (major plus as it makes me feel more secure with being away). Jayne really went above and beyond - taking notes when I was going over his daily routine and even helping me carry back all his supplies at the end of the day. We will definitely be using her going forward and would highly recommend her to other users in the midtown east area. Thanks for everything Jayne!!”

She sent me photos and videos every day to let me know how they were doing and how they interacted with her dogs and cat. Her house, back porch and backyard are really clean, well taken care of and super nice environment for dogs to run free.”

“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

I’m so grateful for the amount of photos that I received during Remy’s 5 day stay. It was so comforting to be able to see how she was settling in. Would definitely recommend Anays & Francis to anyone who needs a sitter!!”

About: Hello! My name is Jordan. I have been freelance dog walking and pet sitting for a decade now. Beyond that, I have also volunteered at many animal shelters and have owned many pets. This is, by far, the most enjoyable and rewarding job I’ve ever had. My hours are flexible, and I'm more than comfortable playing, walking, administering medicine, and working with your dog's dietary needs. Walks and daily playtime/activity will be provided. Working with animals is a passion of mine, and it’s something I put my heart and soul into. I know how important pets are, so I will treat yours like my own, with love, patience, and care. :) I’m currently working part time, and I usually work online. This gives me a lot of time to spend with your dog/cat to make him or her comfortable and keep them engaged and entertained. I treat every dog like they are my own; I want your dog to feel cared for and comfortable while you are away. Rather than have it be a stressful time, I’d like to make it a vacation for your pet as well.

She took super good care of him, not even minding he is a very spoiled puppy, sent us pictures of him being adorable, and played with him and let him borrow all her dog toys.”

About: As a teenager, I took care of 10 dogs, 3 cats, 4 Guinea Pigs, and a bunch of farm animals. I am in the Army and love exercise. I can take your animals on long walks and trips to the parks and getting them tired for your return home. I am timely and will never be late. I am now 27 and currently have a spoiled border collie who is ready to make some friends. I mostly have availability from Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM - Monday morning around 7:00 AM. Aside from those times, I do have lunch from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM every day and get out of work at 3:00 PM, so I am available in the evenings and nights every night of the week. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly border collie in my back yard. I am also able to crate my dog if needed to allow your pet the freedom to roam around. I also allow the pets inside, so they will not be exposed to extreme weather unless they are going potty.

My dog had only been boarded once in her life and it wasn't a good experience so I was hesitant about leaving her again. However, Megan's house was a home away from home for her. There were dogs to play with, couches to sleep on come up and a yard to run around in. You could tell right away that Megan loves dogs. She also understood my worry about leaving Riley for a long period of time and sent us many messages, photos, and videos that showed how well she was doing. The next time I need boarding, I would definitely choose Megan.

Allison and Jason were phenomenal! I did boarding at their house over a holiday weekend. They did great keeping my pup happy and healthy. She came home worn out (in a good way) and did lots of relaxing. I love the amount of attention and stimulation they were able to provide her. I could tell she had a great time! I will definitely rebook with them in the future if I’m able.

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 Wildwood 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 Wildwood.

<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 Wildwood 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.
