“Adela took amazing care of my dog Sammy during his 6‑day stay. She sent daily photo updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She also paid close attention to his behavior and let me know about some anxiety signs she noticed, which will really help me prepare him for future stays in other homes. She even went above and beyond by picking Sammy up so I could finish loading my car—such a thoughtful gesture. I could tell from his photos and his happy, relaxed demeanor when I picked him up that he felt comfortable and loved in her home. Her whole family did a wonderful job caring for him. Highly recommend Adela. If they will have him Sammy will definitely be visiting again.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“Kelly is wonderful to work with and her home and yard are great for our two doggies. Kelly stayed in touch with us during our travel and was happy to accommodate our dogs little quirks. Highly recommend and already booked another visit. :-)”
“Stacie was amazing with our pups! We had another dog sitter cancel the day before we were supposed to leave and she was able to keep them last minute. She kept us up to date and sent us pictures! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Julia was fantastic! Great at communication and very sweet. She helped my fur baby at a very hard time! I would recommend her to anyone! Very caring and compassionate! Your fur baby will be in great and loving hands with Julia!”
“Tami was absolutely fantastic! It was our first time using Rover and she made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with her all weekend. She updated us with photos and loved our dogs like they were her own! We will definitely be going back to her!”
“Angela B. Was the best I could have ever had to leave my pet with. My dog Rogue had so much fun. She got a lot of attention and affection. Angela sent pictures and videos to assure me that Rogue was doing okay. I will definitely be taking her back for play dates and other vacations”
“This was our first time boarding with Christina and we couldn’t be more pleased. We did two daycare days prior so our puppy would be comfortable and those went great as well. Christina is a bundle of energy and it’s obvious she is crazy about dogs. Our puppy Quinn came home exhausted but happy. We will definitely be using Christina again when the need arises.”
“Margaret was AMAZING!!! I need someone to watch my Bentley boy last minute and she was the perfect match! Very communicative and sweet. He came home nice and tired lol thanks to her doggy for all the wonderful play time ! I definitely will be rebooking with her! Highly recommend! 💙”
“I highly recommend Sonya and her family for pet sitting! I recently left my dog, Macario, with them while I was away camping for several days, and they took excellent care of him. It was clear from the updates and photos that he was comfortable, well-loved, and treated like part of the family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great stay. They were easy to communicate with, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure both Macario and I felt comfortable throughout the experience. As a dog mom, having peace of mind while you're away is priceless, and that's exactly what they provided. I'll definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Macario!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful. First time using Rover and my husband and I were very pleased with Chelsea's kindness and professionalism with taking care of our pet. Will most definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
“Jill was fantastic! We loved getting daily updates with pictures! And best of all we were able to enjoy our vacation with piece of mind that Bowser was well taken care of!”
“My dog received great care in a comfortable environment. Ivy sent photos and updates daily! I can tell my pup had a great time because she was exhausted when she got home 😃. We will be booking again. Thank you so much!”
“They took care of Jake and he came back home happier than he has with any other sitters. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you watching over Jake while I was away. Y’all are the best!”
“Teresa was wonderful. Kind and thoughtful to make sure our Maggie had a good time. Even a new friend in Snickers. Perfect experience. Thank you Teresa. Will reach out again.”
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
“Rachel did an amazing job keeping me informed about Marty throughout the time I was gone and really made me feel comfortable being away from him. I would recommend to anyone looking for a dog-sitter!”
“Excellent care for our doggo as always. They are always flexible and helpful! Bryan sends lots of photos which is especially reassuring for my youngest kid. Thank you!”

Gabbi was amazing with my rescue dog! He struggles being in new places and she was so understanding and patient with him. Gabbi administered his eye medication just as I asked and he looked great when I picked him up. My dogs stayed with Gabbi over the 4th of July and she was ready to help them through the fireworks. She’s just a great person and I would totally recommend her. She’s definitely my go-to for future boarding needs!
Alicia was wonderful. She communicated with me daily with pictures of Whiskey playing with Otis inside and outside. Alicia was flexible when we picked him up, as we were traveling with weather. We plan to use her again, as I think she enjoyed Whiskey as much as Whiskey enjoyed her.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Woods 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 Woods 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 Woods.
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 Woods. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 Woods 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.
