“Jo’ell watched our dog for five nights and sent us pictures every day and provided updates with how he was doing. We would def feel comfortable using her again to watch our dog.”
“Tyler and his wife took great care of Ernie. They sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on his stay. They gave him his medication and even kept him company when he was hiding from thunderstorms in their bathroom. We would definitely use them again!”
“It was so great to have our pup stay with Chad for the second time! Chad is so easy to communicate with and clearly takes such good care of our boy - all the love and play time for him we could hope for while we’re away! We will definitely look to rely on Chad and his wife as our regular pup sitters whenever possible!”
“Anton and Amanda were wonderful with Griffy! He seemed to have a great time with them and their family! They sent pictures daily and updated me with how he was doing. They kept him safe and happy and were very easy to correspond with. Highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Kim. From the meet and greet, we knew Leila, our 12 year old Havanese, will be happy and safe. Kim and her kids are pet lovers. The moment we parked our car, and as soon as her kids saw Leila, they hugged and played with her, so adorable. Kim would send photos every few hours, which I appreciate. Kim lives in a safe and quiet community in Darien, she also has a decent size backyard where Leila can play. Kim also texts me for any updates. Leila loves the attention! Thanks Kim :)”
“From the moment I met Kim I felt as if I knew my pets would be safe and well taken care of. She did not disappoint. She sent ample pics and videos and maintained great communication. She will be my go-to sitter for all future needs.”
“Groot had a great time with Michelle and her family. He was really cared for and had a fun time staying with them. We really appreciated the photos and updates throughout his stay. We would highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave Groot in her care in the future.”
“Courtney and her family saved us when we had a last minute family emergency from our usual sitter over the holidays! She sent photos and updates twice a day, and our dog had a wonderful stay.”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“This is the third time we have used Jill and Nick and Niko had a great time! They have fabulous communication and send lots of pictures and Niko is well taken care of! We will definitely book with them again!”
“La Toya was very responsive and accommodating. I had to book Rover boarding at the last minute, and she responded quickly and accepted the booking. She regularly shared pictures and videos and kept me updated on how my pet was doing throughout the stay. I’m very grateful to have found her and would definitely recommend her!”
“This was our first time boarding our fur baby for longer than just a weekend trip. Pallvi and her family took excellent care of Bodhi, sending pictures and videos often! We were definitely nervous at first but she put as at ease quickly, and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that he was comfortable and happy. Will definitely rebook with Pallvi next time we go out of town.”
“Amberley did a great job watching my dog, Herbie! She sent plenty of updates throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. When Herbie wasn't interested in eating his dog food, she even took the time to make him some chicken to make sure he ate. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. I would definitely book with Amberley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Lynda was so great to our 2 girls! It was their first time being boarded and away from us. She made us feel okay leaving them in her care. She has such a great set up for the dogs with her fenced in yard and they loved her big picture window with a ledge.She sent us plenty of pictures while we were away and is very quick to reply. She is wonderful!”
“Ann is beyond kind and sweet, not just to animals, but people as well. She makes you feel at home & comfortable right when you meet her. Maggie & Sparky were very well cared for and had a great time while we were away. So grateful and happy to have found her. Thank you Ann!”
“We boarded our two little girls with Lisa and her dog loving family. They have a lovely home with a large fenced backyard and they also walked our dogs which was a great treat. We could tell the girls were well taken of from the happy look on their faces from the photos Lisa sent. An owner knows when their dogs are pleased and delighted. We were so glad we found Lisa on Rover, you will be too.”

Candy and Charlie took excellent, loving care of Scout. They let her be herself and clearly have lots of experience with all kinds and ages of dogs. Scout was very happy when we picked her up. Their apartment was immaculate and cozy and it allows for your dog to feel at home. We hope Scout will stay with them again in the future.
Wayne watched my 7 month old puppy for 10 days while I was on a trip overseas. Wayne did a fantastic job of making sure my dog would get the attention and safety he needed so I didn’t have to worry about him while I was gone. The fenced in backyard with other dogs around was very beneficial for my puppy’s stay with his energy levels. He gave me daily updates with videos and photos to show how my dog was doing. He also followed all my instructions and made sure to keep away any bones or toys that would have an issue at the home. After the stay, my dog has been behaving well and seemed very satisfied with his stay at Wayne’s.
Our dog, Lillie, stayed with Amy and Dave for 5 nights. Of course, when you leave your pet with someone you want them to feel comfortable and be safe. However, what Amy and Dave also offered was so much love to Lillie. We felt so comfortable being out of the country knowing that Lillie was so happy and loved at their house. They were also great about sending pictures of our girl and keeping up communication. We would definitely recommend Amy and Dave and we will use them again!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! Dorothy had the best weekend with her. She was able to pick Dorothy up from our hotel on pretty short notice, which was such a huge help. Kimberly was so caring and attentive, kept us updated with pictures and videos. We also loved knowing that Dorothy got to sleep inside Kimberly's room, which made us feel like she was truly being treated like family. We're so happy we found Kimberly and will definitely book with her again the next time we're in Chicago. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog like it's their own!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Woodridge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Woodridge 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 Woodridge.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodridge. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Woodridge 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
