“Our dogs had a great time with Jane! She was wonderful with each of their personality quirks! We felt very comfortable while we were gone knowing that the dogs were in good hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. I have extensive experience grooming cats and dogs of various breeds. If you have a very active dog, running with your dog would be a great pleasure. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your doggies/cats! I’m available for boarding any day of the week including holidays. I have a large fenced yard and a friendly dog/cat to keep your pup company. My 8-year-old also would be happy to play with a new friend. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Ann took wonderful care of our older dog and all his specific needs while we were away — which gave us great peace of mind! We all look forward to having Ann come and stay again!♥️🐾”
“Caroline kept in touch at least once a day and sent pictures of my dogs. My dogs did have several accidents that I found in other rooms and on my rug a few times. When I got home my dogs had no water and both were extremely thirsty. I did ask her to get my mail daily and put it on the counter, however, that didn’t happen and my mail box was over filled. Overall she did a good job, my little dog seemed a lot lighter because he doesn’t eat when I’m gone, they are both back to themselves today.”
“Faith did an amazing job watching our pup! She was very communicative and fast to respond if I messaged her. She texted when she left and made sure I had an update on my pup of what they did that morning and locked up our home how I instructed. I would recommend Faith to other dog parents as well! Thank you Faith for taking care of our baby!”

I currently have two dogs which you can see in my photos, they are my babies and they have brought me so much joy into my life! I hope to bring joy into your dogs life when their paw-rents arent home! I am currently working full time but I do commute to the city twice a week and then WFH the rest of the days so I can be flexible with my schedule. When i'm not at work i'm going on nature walks or playing with my dogs or working out at the gym! I am always aware of any surroundings when taking your pet out on walks and I will always make sure they get a lot of love and attention while their paw-rents are away! I would just like to be informed if your pet is reactive to other animals/people and if there are any other concerns I should be well aware of! Also if they need to use any special collar or e-collar while being out. I am also comfortable with giving your pet medications if they are on any, whether it be oral meds or ointment or eye drops as long as they are cooperative!

“We cant find the words to express how grateful we were to have Jennifer watch our two furr babies, full blooded Labradors. We have never left our kids with anyone before, so it was a pleasure to have her in our home with the kids for 8 days and had not one worry! She sent us pictures and updates daily, which was wonderful to see how happy the kids were. Even with it being cold outside, she threw the ball for them and played with them. Not only did she take fantastic job watching our kids, she kept our home in tip top shape, and I have the worst case of OCD and I would have her back with no questions asked!!! If you want the VERY BEST, go with Jennifer, you will not be disappointed, worried or concerned about anything. She also did things in my house like vacuumed, mopping, and ran errands for me. She has the most upbeat personality and super likeable! We hit it off right off the bat.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bolingbrook
Nicole is wonderful! She cared for our herder dog Scout and my parents' senior maltese Tessa in our home for a last minute trip. We were so fortunate to find Nicole! She's very caring with the dogs, knowledgeable and conscientious of each dog's care info. Nicole was transparent and pleasant, sharing photos and pupdates throughout the day. We really appreciated the extra care, effort, and patience with Tessa. Nicole was exceptional and we'd certainly book with her again!
Laina was such a blessing! We had a recent medical diagnosis for one of our pups and needed to find a sitter that was knowledgeable and experienced in medication/injections/special needs and that could handle both of our pups while we were out of the county, and we could not have found a better sitter in Laina and her husband, Bill. They gave consistent updates and photos, provided so much comfort to us, and allowed us to trust they were in good hands and enjoy our trip. The dogs loved their stay, the backyard, the home, and Laina! Would recommend 1 million percent! THANK YOU!!
Jessica was the absolute best!!! Our 2 cats did amazing with her and they were so so so well cared for and loved during our vacation. Jessica stayed 3 days and 3 nights at our place and did cat sitting and house sitting and made our vacation stress free knowing our babies were well taken care of! She was so respectful of our home and left everything as is and clean. She sent us daily photos and text updates as we requested. Our cats absolutely loved her and were so happy with her. We will definitely be rebooking and recommend Jessica to everyone!!!
Ella did a good job caring for our dog. She was communicative and kept me in the loop of what was happening. She didn’t send a lot of pictures but that’s not super important to us, I’m sure she would if requested. She left our house clean and picked up. I would recommend Ella for your pet sitting needs.
Danny has watched our dogs overnight several times the last couple of years and he always does a fantastic job! He is reliable, spends plenty of time at the house with them, and always keeps us updated with pictures of the dogs having fun with him. He will take great care of your pups!
Olivia is always very attentive, responsive and takes such good care of our pups!! We’re so happy we found her and that she was available to take care of them. If you’re looking for a good sitter that will give you peace of mind while your away, she’s your girl! She send updates and pictures throughout the day as well which we really appreciate. Thanks again Olivia!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Bolingbrook walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bolingbrook maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bolingbrook choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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.
