About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love being around them. I also went to dog grooming school and am certified in dog CPR, so I have experience safely handling all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from big energetic dogs to little ones and seniors who need some extra patience. I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention! I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around your pets normal schedule whenever possible. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is always my first priority. My training at Midwest School of Dog Grooming taught me proper handling and safety techniques for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also attended dog safety seminars and am dog CPR certified. I’ll respect your pets routine, your home, and any specific instructions you leave for me
“Elisa was the BEST dog sitter for my pup, Penny. I was caught in a bind and needed a sitter for my 6 month old puppy at the last minute. Elisa took such good care of her, and kept me up to date on how she was doing throughout her stay. She felt so comfortable knowing Penny was in good hands and felt safe with Elisa. I will definitely reach out to Elisa the next time I need a sitter! I can't thank her enough!”
“All 3 of my dogs love Deidre and staying with her! She does a wonderful job of integrating all of the dogs she’s watching with each other. I know my dogs had so much fun playing with the others. Love that she has a fenced in yard for lots of outside time too!”
“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.”
“Gage was an awesome sitter during our two week stay in California. I was a bit nervous to leave Kannon for two weeks, but leaving him with Gage put my mind at ease. Gage was flexible with pick- up and drop-off times, making the experience much easier for me. He sent messages and pictures daily without me asking , which I appreciate. I have used several sitters and Gage is the best by far! The constant communication put my mind at ease and I’ll definitely recommend Gage to anyone who wants a sitter to care for their dog like his own. I can’t rave enough about Gage and I’ll definitely request his services again in the near future!”
“Veronique, was/is fabulous. Knowledgeable and kind. She watched out fur baby at her home, AJ instantly felt comfortable and Veronique showed such kindness and compassion for our older pup. Her two dogs are just loves and welcomed AJ with friendly tails and smells. So thankful we found Veronique will definitely book again.”
“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”
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.

“We were so glad to find Anays and Francis to take care of our anxious Keeley. They were receptive to all the notes we left about her and took daily photos to send us. We could relax and enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands. Thank you!”
“Katerina was awesome! Our pups seem to have loved their stay! She was really fast with communications and it was nice to see some pictures of them enjoying themselves! Would use again!!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing with our dog, Arlo, while we were out of state for a funeral. Leaving him was incredibly difficult for us because we had never left him before, but Heather gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. She reassured us many times before and during our trip, which meant so much during such a hard time. She sent multiple pictures every single day along with detailed updates, and it was clear Arlo was being treated like part of the family. Heather and her family took such wonderful care of him, and we could truly see how loved and comfortable he was while we were away. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Heather made a painful and stressful time so much easier for us, and we are beyond grateful we found her. We would give her 10 stars if we could and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and compassionate to watch their pet.”
“Melody did so amazing at comforting our king and us when we dropped King off! It’s the most comfortable he’s been during a drop off as he usually has anxiety. Communication was great and we loved the pics and videos of the time they spent together. Thank you Melody for taking great care of our fur baby.!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wildwood
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.
Our experience was wonderful. Our dog had the best time staying with Jordan, getting lots of love, interactions, and playtime. Jordan made it really easy for us to have a relaxing vacation, knowing that our dog was taken care of. Our pup (and family) is so glad to have found a new friend!

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.
