“Jackie is awesome with my dog, Corey! He is always so excited to be there were he is treated like one of the family. Jackie has a lovely home and a beautiful fenced in backyard, where Corey can run, run, run.”
“I don't know where to start. They took care of our dog for 8 days and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying. I received daily updates with pictures, videos and kind words. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter’s family and I will use them again without doubt. Thank You!!”
“Brian was very accommodating, taking care of my dog for two weeks on short notice. He provided updates and photos that gave me piece of mind. Plus, my dog was able to socialize with his dog, which was a bonus! His rates were reasonable; he answered my texts and questions in a timely manner. Overall very happy, and I will check back with him, should we need help with boarding our dog in the future. Thank you Brian!”
“We have been taking our dog Bear to Derek for almost 2 years now. Some of our trips have been pretty long and every single time bear has gotten the best care from him and his family. He’s very diligent about keeping in touch and sending pictures, which we love. I can’t say enough about Derek and his family… Your dog would be in perfect loving hands with them if you ever need to be away. Thank you, Derek!”
“We used Eric for 2 weeks of boarding when we were out of the country. We received daily communication and answers to our questions. He was wonderful with both dogs -- especially the new puppy. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! This was my first time going through Rover and I am so happy we found her. She babysat biscuit for 2 nights for us and was very friendly, sent photos throughout the day and bonus she also had a mini doodle Gracie that got along great with our Biscuit. Overall very happy with her services! Would 100% book with her again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep love for animals that goes far beyond just a job. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in East Dundee, IL for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs every shift. It was an exhilarating experience, where I learned that every dog and cat have different needs and unique requirements. I have experience giving many dogs and cats their medications orally and with syringes because of working there. It was never easy, though, as I still have quite a few scratch and bite marks that have turned into scars. But, even with those, my love for animals has only grown and never shrunk. I want to use that experience to help work with dogs that may be the shyer type, ones who, like my own dog, are scared of strangers. I have additionally learned that every one of them have different boundaries and limits, and I have learned to respect those. It amazes me how many breeds are out there, for all animals, and I am excited to mark more off of my mental list once I meet yours! Similarly, at home, I have my own furry family. This includes a cat, dog, and in the past, a rabbit. On top of that, I’ve also fostered several litters of puppies within a 6 month period. I helped them grow strong, learn routines, and get ready for their forever homes. It is amazing how this experience impacted me, as I had the opportunity to be a part of all of their lives in a time where they were fully dependent. Additionally, by choosing me, you will be taking a part in my career path. I am going to be studying pre-vet next fall at a University, Lord-willing to become a veterinarian! Every chance I get to learn more about animals is a step in the right direction in my eyes. So, because of all this experience, I know exactly what it takes to keep the animal that I am taking care of in the most healthy state. Let me know a little, or a lot, about your animal once you book me, I won’t mind at all. I am a full-time student who attends school five days a week from 8-3p.m. I am available every weekday after 3p.m., and all day on Saturday! Reach out to me, and I’ll respond ASAP to see if your needs meet my availability! I will care for the animal with my highest effort, and make sure to always respect the required instructions. My home is a townhouse instead of a single-family home, but that does not mean I do not have space for your animal! I have an extra room in my house to place any animal(s) that I am watching, away from my own. It is a mid-sized empty bedroom that has a bed and a desk. If your dog or cat boards in my home, feel free to provide their favorite toys, blankets, and bed so that they will feel at home with their own belongings in a safe and quiet space. I like to play soft, ambient music before bedtime for my own animals, and I’ll plan on playing some for yours as well, since it can help the nerves.
“Maria and her family were fantastic! She provided daily feedback and pics of our dog Jack. From the moment we met you could tell how much her and family love and care for dogs. They treated Jack like part of their family. I know Jack will be missing them. But we will connect again in the future! Thanks Maria!!”
“Roberto and his family did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Hopper while we were on vacation for two weeks. He sent us pictures and updates every day or two. They really made Hopper part of the family (even though Hopper kept stealing all of their dog’s toys and attention). We were very happy to be able to leave Hopper in a home where he was so well cared for.”
“We booked a last minute stay for our puppy with Jessica and she was so accommodating. I was happy to receive a video and update part way through our trip. She did a great job and our dog was happy and wagging and in great shape when we got back. We would recommend her and will book again when we need too. Thanks Jessica!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our dog. Nicole is extremely professional, and we truly appreciated the frequent updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone looking for a passionate, loving second home for their pet.”
“My mini Doxie is definitely anxious and sensitive and I always feel nervous leaving him with someone. Not only was Beans comfortable but I was made to feel confident with all the pictures and videos throughout the stay! Would definitely use Yaqi again!”
“Carla was great. Fin was good company with her dog, and Carla sent me periodic photos of Fin being comfortable and well cared for. Fin is just under 16, and is very old and slow at this point. Carla even carried Fin up stairs at nights so that he could sleep in their bedroom with their dog, rather than alone by himself downstairs. Carla also gave fin his morning meds with his food. Thank you, Carla!”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
About: I have been training/showing my dogs since 2002. I have been watching friends and family dogs for 10 years, puppy through 12 years old. While in my care basic manners will be reinforced through positive methods only. Having dogs in my home is always a joy. I am newly retired and now have the opportunity without work restrictions to care for your dog in my home with availability seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with a locked gate and a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if it is needed. My dog’s manners are always reinforced and awarded and so will yours in my care.
“Jackie took such amazing care of my cat, Blueberry. She sent updates and pictures, and was extremely flexible when our flight was delayed. I would pick her over and over again to watch Blue!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since childhood. Today I'm a knowledgeable and worldly person with a good understanding of most breeds, and the needs of all dogs and cats. I care for the pets of friends and relatives on a regular basis. I work remotely part-time, and have a very flexible work and personal schedule. I'm an easy going person, and i'm familiar with most of the parks in central Kane County. I'm very liberal with petting of any dog or cat, and I enjoy going for long walks with any dog, rain or shine. Pets often need human attention and I'm happy to provide it for them. Its a win-win!

First time boarding our separation anxiety dogs so we were somewhat anxious but after a few updates from her we knew they were in the right place and having a good time. Towards the end we wondered if they would want to come home with us as they were extremely comfortable with her. Would highly recommended her and will definitely use her again in the future.

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.
94% of sitters in Almora Heights 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 Almora Heights 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 Almora Heights.
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 Almora Heights. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Almora Heights 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.
