“Kendall is amazing! She has been watching Wrigley since he was little and our little guy always has a blast with her! She is very sweet and truly cares about your little one. I honestly feel 100% confident and know that our pup is safe and had a blast when with Kendall! Also, she’s always sending updates with pictures and communicating with updates which is great! We appreciate you watching our little guy!!”
“She was wonderful. Our older dog can be anxious and standoff but seemed comfortable and happy in her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again if I had to. Communication was clear and responsive. I feel it was much better than using a kennel as my dogs were abused at one.”

“Our dogs came home happy and clearly enjoyed every minute of their stay with you. Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of our fur babies. We really appreciate the wonderful attention and love you gave them.”

“Giedre and her family were absolutely amazing taking care of my pup for four days! My dog came home tired and happy. She was even super helpful in accommodating a different pick up time than expected! Would go back, thank you!”

“Our golden doodle was so loved and well taken care of with Courtney and her family! They have dog-living children who are the perfect ages to take care of dogs. Her own dogs were there too, and our pup got along great with them. He was picked up and dropped off in a brand new car! This was such a convenience for us. Each day we received pictures of our happy guy in their home. We had all the confidence even before we met, that Courtney was going to be an excellent dog sitter. We will be using her again and again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention | give every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and set of needs, and I take the time to get to know them rather than using a one size fits all approach. I'm experienced with dogs of different energy levels and personalities, including playful, high energy dogs as well as more laidback pups who prefer a quiet, relaxed environment. I'm comfortable maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and other instructions provided by their owners. I'm also patient with puppies who are still learning and happy to provide extra attention and structure to senior dogs who may need a slower pace or additional care. Most importantly, I treat pet sitting as more than simply stopping by to feed a dog. I want your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'm dependable, communicative, and will happily send updates and photos so you don't feel like you're missing out while you’re away. I work from home, which allows pet care to fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, regular potty breaks and walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long periods of time. My schedule also gives me flexibility to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, whether they need frequent breaks, scheduled meals, medication, extra playtime, or simply someone nearby to make them feel comfortable. I enjoy having pets around while I work and am happy to make their care an important part of my day. Please no dropoffs before 8am and no pick ups after 8pm. Thank you 😊 Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks without being exposed to traffic or other outdoor hazards. I’m also happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and individual preferences. I keep a close eye on pets throughout their stay and make sure they have a clean, comfortable, and welcoming environment. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I treat their space, belongings, and instructions with the same respect I would want for my own pets. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Note: If your pet is ill with a communicable sickness, please keep them home. I have two dogs in my home, and I greatly appreciate your understanding.
“Sarah was a great host, our dog Sammy had a wonderful time. She was caring, sent constant updates, and supported him as he adjusted to her home. I highly recommend!”

“Laina is absolutely wonderful! She set up a meet and greet and took fantastic notes before our booking. She noted all of my concerns with Daisy and took great care to ensure they were all addressed. Daisy loved being with her while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Laina.”

“Sim stepped in on short notice after an initial dog sitter arrangement fell through, providing immediate help during a stressful situation. Sim and his family welcomed our puppy as one of their own, ensuring he felt comfortable and at home. It was so nice to get regular updates, including pictures and videos, throughout the stay. This frequent communication allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation without worry. Sim is a highly dependable and caring dog sitter, ideal for pet owners seeking reliable, communicative, and compassionate care for their dogs.”
“Fantastic! Morgan and Ross did a fantastic job watching our dog Milo. We started with a meet n greet where we were comfortable right from the beginning. They were sweet and caring. Throughout Milo’s stay, we were sent videos and pictures of Milo having fun with his new fur friends. We felt completely confident and overjoyed with the care and the attention that Milo received. Thank you! Milo’s new home away from home ❤️”

“Kimberly was amazing! She watched our dog for 3 nights and she was responsive and reliable. She sent us many updates and pictures during our time away. We could tell Murphy was well taken care of and had a great time with Kimberly and her family. Highly recommend!!”

“Leaving Beau with Hannah gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was so well cared for and came home happy and tuckered out. Amazing communication and a truly wonderful environment. We will definitely be booking again!”

“We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.”

“My dog has stayed with Elise several times & we’re so thankful that she’s able to have Alys stay with her. It’s such a wonderful feeling knowing that Alys is being well loved!”

“I left my 4 month old puppy with Melissa & Justin for his first time with a sitter, and had a great experience! Their dogs are very well-behaved and friendly & I felt totally at ease leaving my pup to play with theirs for the evening. Melissa sent pictures throughout & was quick to respond to my messages, so I felt reassured all night that he was in good hands. I came home with an exhausted puppy, which is all I can ask for!”

“Jorge and family are wonderful people! Stanley had a great time and was well taken care of. Jorge’s home is perfectly suited for our dog’s needs and we will definitely be back when needed in the future. Thank you!”

“Magda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! She shared tons of photos and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of time outside with Penny, taking her on walks and doing activities to keep her happy and engaged. Penny can definitely be a handful at times, but Magda was so patient, gentle, and kind with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does. We would recommend her to anyone.”

“Lizzie and her husband were great with our 80lb hyper puppy. They took the time to let us come over prior, to introduce our puppy to their dogs. Our dog had a great time running around their yard and playing with their dogs. They sent videos and picture updates to let us know how he did. We definitely recommend their services!”

“Kimberly was so great with my dog! Kimberly and her husband actually spoiled Molly quite a bit! I felt very comfortable leaving my pooch with Kimberly, she's so nice and great with dogs. I got plenty of photos and updates. And Molly got ALLLLL the attention! I will definitely use Kimberly and her husband to watch Molly again!”


“This was Wyatt's second time staying with Vanessa. When I dropped him off he was very excited. There were other dogs to play with. It's nice having a place where Wyatt is familiar with. Vanessa sends many pics which is nice. When available Vanessa is my go to sitter.”

Pet 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! :)

Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
