“Rex and family are the best. Our dog loves going here to play with other dogs in the big backyard. Super accommodating and so nice. It’s where we always take our guy when we are in the area and need a dog sitter! Thank you!!”
“I am so extremely thankful for Kelli and the great care Mickie was given! Absolutely amazing, I will ALWAYS book will Kelli!!! Communication was A++++ and I got messages and pictures throughout our trip, I was so thankful for that! Absolutely the BEST!”
“Julie and Joe were the best. I don’t leave my girl (Teka) with just anybody. She is a 15 year standard poodle and they have her insulin shots and very well cared for. I would recommend them for anyone. Dave and Janell Gage”
“Always amazing! Jenai and Sean treat my dogs like their own. They’re fantastic communicators, and my dogs are always tuckered out from all the playing! They were especially accommodating and kind to them over the 4th of July weekend. Both of my dogs are not fans of fireworks, but they went out of their way to make a special space for my old man to feel a little less scared in, and made sure my younger dog got some extra love. 100% recommended!!”
“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”
“Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)”
“Taya was amazing with Nala. My puppy had a great time and she was so well taken care of. I got lots of pics so I didn’t worry about her at all. Will absolutely send her again!”
“Great 1st experience for my Teddy and I. I’m so pleased with the care my boy received! This was our first time actually hiring a dog sitter and it was flawless, such a wonderful experience with Catherine. From beginning to end, she made everything so easy and comforting for my dog and I!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors cats and dogs for the past ten years, while also loving and caring for my own pets. We currently have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a veiled chameleon, and a betta fish, so I have experience caring for a wide range of animals! I am currently a senior at Wake Forest University who has a part-time schedule. My light course load allows me to spend ample time with your furry friends. The safety and comfort of my own/clients pets is of utmost importance to me. I love to spend time playing and grooming my own dog and will always treat every animal with the same care!
About: I believe dogs and pets are part of the family, and I’ll treat yours that way. I’ve been around dogs and animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends and family have trusted me to check in on their dogs, let them outside, feed them, play with them, and make sure they’re comfortable while they’re away. I’m dependable, active, and attentive, and I understand how important it is to know your dog and pets are safe and being well cared for when you can’t be there. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and scheduled pet care, and I’ll do my best to accommodate the routine your pet is already comfortable with. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so being there when expected is important to me. I believe pets are part of the family, so their safety and comfort always come first. When caring for a pet in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, water, and any special instructions are handled carefully. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Loved Monica’s service, my dog had a good time and she was updating me on everything and sending me pictures while I’m away. Will book her again and again I felt comfortable leaving my dog with here for days.”

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.
96% 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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 MI 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.
