“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“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.”
“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”
“Outstanding experience. Shirley was very thorough with communication, made things easy for us and our dog had a great time with her. I don’t think he wanted to come home. Definitely recommend.”
“Christian took such good care of our dog! He sent many updates and made sure she had the attention and exercise she needed. My dog didn’t want to say goodbye to him! I highly recommend him as a pet sitter!”
“Super thoughtful and experience with dogs. Sent videos and updates and was flexible when we needed to pick our dog up later than expected. Beautifully maintained home and neighborhood.”
“Yu Wen and Allen looked after our dogs, Theo and Lucy, and did a wonderful job. The dogs got two hour-long walks of almost three miles each. Allen noticed Theo loves to run, so he also took him on a run of more than a mile while his son kept Lucy company. They sent photos and videos all day and answered every message quickly. Drop-off was a few minutes early, and both dogs came home happy. Allen called it a one-day summer camp, and our dogs would agree. You can tell this family loves dogs. We've already asked to book them again, and we'd recommend them to anyone looking for attentive, loving care.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our 10-year-old dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog was dealing with a UTI during her stay, which meant she needed frequent trips outside, medicine twice a day - but Elizabeth was incredibly patient, attentive, and accommodating to her needs. It was clear that our dog felt happy, safe, and comfortable in Elizabeth’s home. She received plenty of walks, lots of toys to keep her entertained, and, most importantly, so many snuggles and loving attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was being cared for as if she were part of the family. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and will absolutely be using her again in the future to take care of our precious pup.”
“Hasan was so attentive and caring. He made me feel very comfortable with leaving my baby with him. I got pictures throughout the day and updates assuring me that he followed his routine. I will absolutely rebook with him?”
“Jean and Al took such loving care of Vinny while I was away for over a week. I received daily updates and some picture and when I picked him up I could see how happy and comfortable he was with them. I hope they will be available whenever Vinny needs a sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Maria took such great care of Archer and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after throughout his stay. She was also very accommodating when we needed to extend his boarding and even went out of her way to get food for him. We really appreciated the regular picture updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“I love Viktoriia! She took exceptional care of my old kitty. I was very nervous about going away, but Viktoriia put me at ease right away. She sent pictures daily and made my kitty comfortable and secure. 5 stars!!”
“Traci was wonderful! She took amazing care of my 8 month-old Bernese mountain dog, who can be a handful! Her family and dog Charlie were great with her. She kept me updated with adorable pictures daily. My mind was totally at ease during our hectic week. Thank you so much Traci! We will be back :)”

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!
Danielle is amazing. She is unbelievably kind and accommodating. I really just needed some daycare once, maybe twice, for my pup while moving, but I could tell off the bat she cares about every dog that comes through her door. I ended up doing a handful of daycare days and boarding him. I know my dog can be a pain. He is an anxious old boy and can be high-maintenance at times. I had such peace of mind sending my dog to her. She sent me photos and updates. The only downside is I didn’t find her sooner before moving away. I got to pick up a tired, happy boy every time. If I ever need to board my dog again, I will definitely be making the drive to send him to her!
Trinity was fantastic with Brutus! She was super responsive before the stay, flexible with drop-off time, and asked great questions about his temperament. Throughout the stay she sent photos and updates so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Brutus settled in quickly, loved his walks, and from what it sounds Brutus was totally obsessed with her squeaker toys. It's clear she genuinely enjoys the dogs she cares for. Highly recommend and we'll definitely book again!
Michelle and Erika did a wonderful job taking care of my black lab, BB! She was very comfortable there and I know she had loads of fun with their other dogs, as they sent me pictures and videos throughout the entire stay! BB seemed very happy when I came to pick her up, almost too happy like she didn’t want to leave her new friends behind! Thank you so so much again for taking BB in so last minute and taking such great care of her the week that I was gone! I highly recommend these two to take care of your fur babies! 💖
Normally I would leave my pups with family members but none were available so I went with Maureen. I made the right choice. Maureen came to meet my two older girls so we could discuss all concerns, including some recent medical needs. When I dropped them off Maureen made them feel comfortable and they settled in nicely. If the need arrives in the future I won’t hesitate to use her again.
Karin really came through for us and our pup on a last minute booking. After a meetup with her and her dog we determined that she would be a great fit to care for our little guy. Karin was responsive and sent photo updates regularly throughout the stay. This helped to put us at ease since it is a new puppy to us and a very young dog. Can’t recommend Karin enough and we are grateful to have found someone so close to us that we can hopefully use in the future! Thanks again!

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 York Center 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 York Center 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 York Center.
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 York Center. 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 York Center 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.
