“Katie and her family took great care of my pup. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. According to Katie he got along really well with her kids and enjoyed their walks. I will definitely take him to stay with them again, highly recommended!!”
“Brian and his family were great. They treated our fur ball with love and attention. Brian sent pictures and videos every day. It was great to see the dog enjoying his stay with Brian.”
“Renae was super friendly and helpful. This was my first time using Rover for Sammy and I will continue to use this service. Renae gave me updates throughout the stay which was very reassuring. Sammy was able to play with Renae's pup which was very nice for him to have a friend instead of being alone at the pets hotel.”
“Wow! We are so happy to have someone who cares for our dogs the way we do. We got pictures and reports throughout the week and our dogs looked relaxed and happy. We will definitely book with Jackie again.”
“Michelle and Matthew took such great care of our 2 dogs - we are so grateful! We received pictures and updates every day, which we very much appreciated. Our dogs got walks and exercise and lots of love! This was our first time finding care through the Rover app, and we were so relieved to find such a great family to care for our dogs. Thank you Michelle and Matthew!!”
“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“Wonderful experience! This was our first time using a dog sitter, and John and his family made the entire process completely stress free. They kept me updated throughout the day, took great care of our dog, and there were no issues at all. I would definitely recommend John to any pet owner.”
“Viri and her family were great! She accommodated my last minute booking during the holidays! She did an excellent job, was flexible, updated with pictures and my dog seemed to enjoy himself.”
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”
“Julie and her family were absolutely wonderful. They kept us informed the entire time with photos, they obviously all have a love for dogs, their yard is large which made for a lot of fun for Simba. Simba loved his time and I think was a little sad to return home. Thank you Julie and family for giving Simba a home away from home.”
“Enas was so kind! Brought my 2 boys, Ace and Bruno, over and they came back super tired! So I know their exercise needs were met! Her daughters are also very kind and seem very responsible as well! Enas also made sure to update me with pictures everyday! And let me know how everything went when I went to pick them up! Will definitely be rebooking for my next trip! Ace and Bruno were very well cared for!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Yorkville
Miriam "Mimi" & Terrell and Bella were a God send! True Good & Lovely Soles! My only wish is if there was a way to leave more than five-stars, because I definitately would. After a HUGE misunderstanding with an "unconfirmed" sitter, where my babies were left alone for some time, non-communication AND potential mingling with an unknown number of larger breeds dogs (including a St. Bernard), Miriam & Terrell not only alerted me to the grave mix-up, but offered to pick up my babies and bring them to their home (the correct confirmed booking sitters), as I was already away on my trip. After my babies were dropped off at Mimi & Terrell's, they welcomed my babies with open arms and lots of love and hugs! Once they sent initial pics of my babies getting lots of love, hugs and way too many snuggles (LOL!), I KNEW they were in their second home. :) Mimi even crafted a special unique way of capturing all of their activities, which was efficient, as well as quite hilarious. LOVE IT! I received regular updates and the most adorable pics that made my time away stress-free, knowing that my babies were in a place where they were loved as much as if I was with them myself. Mimi & Terrell's home was immaculate, warm and pup-friendly! They had all the comforts of having your pups stay in their new "second-home" while you are away. My babies were well-fed, had plenty of play time, hugs and cuddles but more importantly I knew they felt safe and happy while mommy was away. I cannot recommend these good souls more to care for your babies. You will not only find great sitters, but future family. I know I did! :) Love...LOVE...LOVE THESE FOLKS! :)

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 Yorkville 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 Yorkville 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 Yorkville.
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 Yorkville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Yorkville 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.
