“We were very happy with Diana and Brian. Diana sent many photos and videos so we could stay in touch with our pups. The pups seemed like they were having fun! We will definitely use them again. Thank you!”
“Laina is amazing! We unexpectedly had to go to the hospital and she was able to take Odin to help us out. Odin loves seeing her and you can really tell how much she cares about each and every pet she takes care of. I wish I could leave a larger tip!”
“Tyler's wife handles the communication, and she was so quick to respond, helpful, and accessible. She sent several pictures and videos during the stay, and our pup always looked so comfortable, happy, and relaxed. I would definitely trust them with our dog again.”
“Christina and her family were the perfect house for our 8 month old puppy. They were amazing with him and Charlie and their dog became fast friends. We are grateful to have found a home we trust when we go out of town. Highly recommend Christina!”
“Kim did a FANTASTIC job with a tall order. My cat is very very scared to new people and situations. Kim had the right space and approach and won my cat over very quickly. In 24 hours, my cat went from hiding to cuddling with Kim. She sent me updates and photos regularly, which I really appreciated. Kim is very compassionate and loving, and I'm so grateful I found her.”
“Peg was wonderful with our little girl. We picked her up just now and was happy to see us, she looked happy over all and looked well fed. Peg sent us pictures every day and was great about communicating daily status. We will definitely use Peg again and are already planning our girls next visit with Peg.”
“Bottom line, yes. Absolutely, we would/will have Nelli watch Romeo again. She has a wonderful family that gave Romeo lots of attention and love and exercise. This made it so much easier for us to enjoy our vacation, knowing that Romeo was so well taken care of. Better still, their Cockapoo played with him too. New best friends.”
“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!”
“Amanda and Anton did a terrific job taking care of our Henry during his weeklong stay. We couldn’t have asked for better care and would absolutely use them again. Highly recommend!”
About: If you need someone to spoil your pets with love and attention while you are away, call me to watch your animals today! Hi my name is Victoria and I am a HUGE animal lover. I am responsible, respectful, and reliable. I can provide as many updates as needed while you are away! And I promise to care for your pets as if they are my own! The animals I have experience with include: DOGS (any size), cats, rabbits, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, turtles and fish. I have experience with injured, ill, and special needs animals as well. **I am also open to and interested in learning how to care for other pets as well! ** My pet care experience includes: feeding of pets, dispensing of medication when needed, bathroom breaks when needed, cage / litter box cleaning. Cleaning up accidents around the house. Over-night care. Dog walks or runs of any length. Playing fetch or playing with toys with your precious pets. Dog park visits. Dog bathing and / or brushing. Basic command training. Potty training. Lots of attention. And even animal photography! Thanks for reading. I hope to hear from you soon! I currently work part-time, about 12–16 hours per week in 4-hour shifts, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your pups lots of love, attention, playtime, and care! Since my shifts are short, I’m never away for long periods of time and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m also available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends! I live in a clean, cozy townhome in a quiet area with a small private yard surrounded by plenty of bushes for privacy. I have a 25-foot secured lead and ground stake so pups can safely enjoy some fresh air, sniff around, and spend time outside. I truly treat every pup I watch like they’re my own and want my home to feel like their home away from home. Dogs are welcome to cuddle up on the furniture and even sleep in my bed at night if that’s what they’re used to! If your pup is crate trained or you prefer certain boundaries at home, I’m more than happy to follow their normal routine and your rules. I know every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, so I’m happy to adjust to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. Whether they want lots of attention and cuddles or need a little extra space to settle in, I’ll let them go at their own pace. ❤️
“Excellent communication. Sylvie is very kind and was great with Alfie! I got lots of pictures during his stay and I felt confident that Alfie was in good hands :) will definitely be my first choice next time I need someone to watch Alfie in the Lockport area!”
“Courtney kept us updated with lots of pictures of Clover, we missed him so bad so it was VERY nice to get pictures throughout the day! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Sadie had such a good time with Justine and Brett!! They took care of her over the weekend of our wedding, and it was so great to know Sadie was so well taken care of during our special day. Thanks so much Justine and Brett!”
“Patricia took amazing care of my fur babies. There were a lot of storms while we were gone and my dogs are very anxious I’m so grateful they were in such amazing care.”
“Estefania took excellent care of Mina while I was out of town for the weekend. I got several updates of how she was doing every day and lots of pictures of her. Very responsive and Mina had a fun time. Highly recommend Estefania to watch your baby anytime you need.”
“Pennie was so fabulous. I could tell at our initial meet and greet at her home that she loves the pets she cares for and ensures the environment they're staying in suits their needs perfectly. We left our two dogs with her for a week and received pictures daily. She even let our bulldog mix who is afraid of thunder sleep in her room during three days of bad storms. I'm so happy we found Pennie after our previous dog sitter moved out of state.”
“Vanessa was wonderful!!!! She sent adorable photos and short messages to me while I was away and it made me feel so comfortable. I felt like Gucci was visiting family. She is at the top of f my list whenever I need to board my fur baby.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bolingbrook
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! Dorothy had the best weekend with her. She was able to pick Dorothy up from our hotel on pretty short notice, which was such a huge help. Kimberly was so caring and attentive, kept us updated with pictures and videos. We also loved knowing that Dorothy got to sleep inside Kimberly's room, which made us feel like she was truly being treated like family. We're so happy we found Kimberly and will definitely book with her again the next time we're in Chicago. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog like it's their own!
Diana and Brian really hit it off with my boy Yukon. I received pictures and videos daily of Yukon having a good time. It was very obvious that this family had a lot of dog experience with many different types of dogs. Their back yard has a separate area fenced off for dogs that just want to be alone. Very professional.
Julie (and family) took great care of Charlotte and Donovan during our vacation. We received daily updates and plenty of cute pictures of our babies going on walks, playing with toys and snuggling on the sofa. Julie was flexible with the drop off/pick up times and nicely accommodated our need for an early morning drop off. We highly recommend Julie!
"Highly recommend Jie! She took great care of Rex and was very attentive to his health. She even managed a sudden vet visit for digestive issues and handled his medication perfectly while I was away. It’s clear she takes the job seriously and truly cares about the animals in her care. Will definitely book again."
Veronica was an exceptional sitter, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for my dog, Chase. He clearly had a wonderful time, he came home happily exhausted, which reassured me that he was well cared for and active during his stay. Veronica kept me at ease by sending daily photos and updates, which I truly appreciated. Her communication was prompt, consistent, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. I felt completely comfortable leaving Chase in her care, and it’s clear she is both professional and genuinely kind. I would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Our Dema stayed with Adam and his wonderful family for the second time, and once again we couldn’t be happier! ❤️ We were away for 10 days and felt completely at peace the whole time. Adam kept us updated with photos and sweet little stories about Dema. It really made us feel connected even from afar. Thank you again, Adam, for treating Dema like your own. We’ll definitely be back next time! 🐾💛

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 Bolingbrook 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 Bolingbrook 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 Bolingbrook.
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 Bolingbrook. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 Bolingbrook 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.
