About: Hi! I’m a veteran with a few years of animal care experience, and I’m currently pursuing a degree in animal sciences with a focus on animal health and behavior. Caring for animals is an important part of my life, and I’m excited to continue building my knowledge through both school and hands-on experience. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care while helping your pet feel safe and comfortable when you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and care instructions to give them individualized attention. Whether your pet enjoys active playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I’d love to get to know them and help you feel confident about their care! I’m an active person and a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I’m also a veteran, currently working from home while pursuing my degree full-time in animal sciences, with a focus on animal health and behavior. With a few years of animal care experience, I’m passionate about providing attentive, personalized care to every pet I meet. I have two dogs that are small and very polite. They are both neutered and spayed. For them the more the merrier. I couldn’t agree more. Your pets stay will be comfortable and active. I promise to make sure they are well taken care of and get lots of love and sunshine in their day
“Ryann is absolutely AMAZING! She was extremely reliable, attentive, and patient with my in-training pup and my delayed flight. She took Enzo to the dog park, sent me pictures/videos daily (which I loved), and had other pets for him to play with. Could not have asked for a better dog sitter! Everything about this past weekend was perfect and went super smooth all thanks to her. She’s at the top of my list now!”
“Veronique was awesome, she was always checking in with me with photos of my little Rubi. She was very attentive and made me feel at ease. My dog was clearly comfortable and at ease in her care. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Cynthia is attentive to details, she was sending updates and pictures from Fiorella during the time she was taking care of her, her family was so warming with Fiorella and at the end of the stay Fiorella was calm ☺️ Thank you Cynthia!”
“Megan was fantastic! Tons of pictures, immediate responses while messaging and was flexible on time changes. Already planning to book again with Megan! Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Moon.”
“Jennifer was awesome. He provided pictures of Yogi's stay and how loved he was by all her children. He lived all the attention and belly rubs and petting. I would definitely use Jennifer again. I could rest assured Yogi was in great hands”
“Mary and Norman were wonderful. They sent photo updates each day and let me know how things were going. I could tell that my dog was very comfortable with them and will definitely use them again!”
“Repeat customer. Diane takes great care of our Princess and we are very happy with her dog sitter services. We can travel with peace of mind knowing our dog is being well cared for by Diane.”
“Anna was super kind and accommodating. She did take pictures (which I so appreciate) including on walks. My dog was a bit high energy and Anna managed well - I know because he came back tired. Also, super helpful when we had to cut the trip short. TY Anna!”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Valeria is a wonderful dog sitter! She picked up my dog from my cousin’s house nearby and had him while we were traveling overseas. She sent photos of him inside, on walks, and playing. At least 3 a day. She had very specific questions about him and asked permission for types of treats. She was always available to message back and forth about my dog and was very clear about how he spent his days. My dog looked very happy and very well cared-for at her house. I definitely recommend Valeria and will absolutely re-book with her!”
About: I have 2 years of professional dog/cat handling. I currently work at an animal hospital as a kennel attendant! I have had dogs of my own growing up, and now I own 6 cats. I just love caring for animals. I am free Monday-Friday so I will be available to give all my attention to your fur baby! They will have plenty of cuddles and play time! My mom and I will both be very much involved with your fur baby! I do not have a fenced yard BUT I will gladly take your doggy on multiple walks! I do have 6 cats but they have their own room/space so they will not interfere with any animals I’m boarding :)
“Alyssa is amazing. She LOVES pups and takes care of them like they were her own. She cuddles them, plays with them, walks them, and does whatever you ask her to do. She is a delight to deal with, so positive and loving. I received photos, videos and puppy updates periodically every day. I highly recommend Alyssa. You’d be lucky to have her caring for your pup!”
“Tom and Julie took really great care of Casey. Sending me videos very frequently. They are accommodating and flexible in schedule. Your pup is definitely in good hands with Tom and Julie. They are Highly recommended.”

Great experience. Keira took great care of Freyah during her six-day stay. Everything went smoothly, communication was good, and there were no issues at all. Freyah was happy and well cared for when I picked her up. I’d definitely recommend Keira and would be comfortable booking with her again.
Veronique is a true professional with years of experience as a groomer, trainer and caretaker of dogs and animals of all kinds! She clearly loves animals and is very thoughtful and intentional with their care. We felt very confident leaving our two goldens with her and they had a great time! She has a huge backyard and a very pet-friendly home. She sent regular photos and videos of their stay. They were treated just like her own dogs. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be returning in the future!
Jordan is absolutely amazing! She had taken such good care of my pup. I was quite nervous since it was my dog’s first time staying with a sitter but he warmed up perfectly. Updates including pictures and videos were provided daily! I would highly recommend Jordan and my pup can’t wait for future visits!!
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with our dog during a two‑day stay while we were busy with wedding events and travel. She was super communicative the entire time and sent us adorable, thoughtful photo updates that kept us completely at ease. She also matched our dog’s specific activity needs and preferences perfectly. Jennifer and her husband took her on walks, played with her, and made sure she was fed in a safe, comfortable spot. Her friendly pup Kaya was the perfect companion, and our dog clearly felt right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Jennifer for anyone looking for reliable, caring support.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Zion is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $69 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,004 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Zion. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% of sitters in Zion 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 Zion 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 Zion.
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 Zion. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 Zion 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.
