“Jasmin was absolutely amazing with my Zoey! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby with her. She sent me pictures, videos, and daily updates, and I could tell Zoey was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. Zoey was so excited to meet her and settle in for her stay! Unfortunately, Zoey got sick during the visit, and Jasmin truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and willing to do whatever she could to make sure Zoey was comfortable and well cared for. Having someone care for your baby with that level of patience and compassion, especially when you're away from home, means everything. I can't recommend Jasmin enough! We already know exactly who we'll be calling for our next vacation. We officially found the perfect sitter for Zoey! ❤️🐾”
“Buster thoroughly enjoys staying with Kelly and her family. He seems much more tired out when he gets back so that tells me her and the kids are keeping him busy. No more kennel stays for Bust. He’s staying at Kelly’s from now on!!”
“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”
“Elaine was superb! She was quick to respond with booking, she was welcoming upon our arrival and she sent text with pictures to keep us informed on his status. I was at ease knowing our cat was in Elaine’s care. She and her family offered him a warm and safe environment. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for Watching our sweet Pepper while we were in the area. It was great to know she was well taken care of. Also thank you for your flexibility and communication during her stay.”
About: I’m recently widowed and looking for a way to get outside and walk more consistently. I don’t like to walk alone so I figured walking with someone’s pet would be a good place to start! I have owned animals all my life; birds, cats, dogs, horses, etc. I currently have a blue heeler/border collie mix but he’ll stay home during my walks with your pup! I’m available during the week, during normal school hours. I have a daughter in school so I need to be home in the evenings to help with homework, etc. I have one friendly dog that loves to have animal friends come play. I also have crates that can house small to medium sized dogs.
“Loya is amazing!! She takes care of our two pups, 3 year old Boston, Louie and almost 13 Year old Frenchie Lola! My 13 year old French is deaf, losing her eyesight and incontinent and requires 5 medicines and eye drops every day and Loya took on the responsibility with no hesitation! We’ve used Loya for boarding and for weekly daycare! Her and her dogs are amazing and I would recommend her highly to anyone!! Thank you Loya and her pups Georgia and Corona!”
“Kayla did an awesome job. This was our first time using the Rover service and we were very pleased. Our puppy had a hard time adjusting at first but Kayla was patient with him and he had a great time for the rest of his stay. Will definitely use her again.”
“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”
About: Animal lover with hands-on experience raising wildlife from a young age and a professional background as a veterinary technician. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all personalities, ages, and medical needs. What sets me apart is the calm, patient, and attentive care I provide — I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life as I’m currently home all day with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’ve raised wildlife from a young age and also have a background as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. My home provides a safe, calm, and loving atmosphere where pets are treated like family. I also currently volunteer at the humane society with my daughter, which reflects how important animal care and compassion are in our everyday lives. I have a fully fenced backyard, plenty of dog toys and treats, and provide a safe, loving environment for pets. We currently do two walks a day with our pup, River, so daily exercise and attention are already part of our routine. We also have two dog-friendly cats that are comfortable around other animals.
“Madeline took wonderful care of our boy! She was very professional and friendly, and we highly recommend her. Especially if you have a smaller dog than can be anxious in a new/strange environment. Hopefully she's not booked the next time we need a dog sitter!”
About: I worked in the veterinary field for 10+ years and petsmart for 7 years. I am a certified dog trainer in basic obedience and desensitization for veterinary visits. I can provide basic vet care for at home pets. I am the to go person for answering questions and helping out. Did I mention I just love animals? I am availible most of the time, unless I am already booked. I do work relief on occasion as an assistant for short shifts. I also do freelance art at home! When I'm not working I'm mostly a squishmallow, cuddly couch potato. Perfect for your furry little friends. We will have a daily routine focused around food, potty, play, and sleep. I won't lie, I'm a late riser, perfect for snuggling fur friends. For walks, drop-ins, and stays, I am willing to offer short walks(15-20min) a few times a day for potty breaks, and extra cuddles if desired. For in-home sitting, pets will be able to free play with in-home pets, plus access to large fenced yard. For all bookings, practical training may be given as nessesary for structure during that time. Plenty of toys and treats will be given (with your permission of course.) Please consider I have a friendly dog I may keep with me if you want an overnight stay. The dog is good with most dogs and likes cats. Otherwise, I'm happy to hang out during the day for a while and do drop-ins. Please be aware there may be extra charges for additional or expanded services as well as frequent or difficult services
About: Say goodbye to worries when leaving your pet behind. Picture your fur baby enjoying daily playtime, meals, cozy naps, and daily walks around the neighborhood from a playful dog lover, sitter, and friend. 🐶❤️ I currently work from home on a hybrid so I’ll have plenty of flexibility to play with your fur babies!

“Shaina took such great care of Taz! She sent daily photos and provided frequent updates. She’s kind and welcoming and it felt like leaving Taz with a friend. Highly recommend having your doggo stay with her!”
About: Without having a ton of experience, I work well and will live up to your expectations! I love animals; I have two dogs, a kitty and a guinea pig. I'm good with all different types! I'm a senior high school, trying to start a part-time job here. I've kept the same job for two years and have loved that experience working with kids! I'm good with keeping puppies safe on walks. My cavalier loves to go on long walks. Keeping a good eye of roads, what they step on, and what they eat!
“Kellin took great care of our pup! She gave plenty of updates and made sure our dog got plenty of activity during his stay. I would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Christopher was amazing with Jet and Maverick. He took a last minute booking which was great for us as we were only passing through St. Louis and needed the boys to be boarded for the night. He even brushed my dogs at my request. Both of the boys were happy when we picked them up.”

Alyssa took wonderful care of my dog Sawyer while I was out of town. She gave me updates with pictures throughout his stay which kept me from worrying how he was doing away from home. I’m so happy with Alyssa’s care and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

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 Woodcrest 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 Woodcrest.
<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 Woodcrest 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.
