“This was our first stay with Justine and Brett. They watched my 13 year old Golden for 4 days. Everything from initial contact with Justine, to picking up my pup later than expected after a flight delay of three hours, went very smoothly. She sent pictures to me while I was away…gave morning medication, and stayed in touch throughout the time I was gone. KC will definitely go back the next time mom needs to leave town. 😊🐶. Thank you Justine and Brett!”
“Anton and Amanda were wonderful with Griffy! He seemed to have a great time with them and their family! They sent pictures daily and updated me with how he was doing. They kept him safe and happy and were very easy to correspond with. Highly recommend!”
“Miko had a wonderful experience with Kim. She took such great care of him, and I could tell he was happy and in great shape when I came back. She was very kind and attentive, and I really appreciated the updates and photos she sent while I was on vacation—it gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear that she truly loves dogs and knows how to care for them. She treated Miko like her own, which means a lot to me. I definitely trust her and will absolutely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Patricia took great care of Tess for us! She was very communicative and send lots of updates. Tess came home happy and healthy! We would definitely ask Patricia to help us with Tess again”
“So happy with Kaya’s stay at Elise’s house. Her dog and Kaya got along so well. Elise provided us updates throughout the stay, which put us at ease. Definitely coming back for more stays! Highly recommend”
“Robynn was amazing!! Our dogs had an awesome time. We received great communication and photos/videos. It was such a relief to know that our dogs were in such good care while we were away. We will definitely be working with Robynn again”
“Our dog seems to have had a great time at Lynda's! When we would leave our pup at a dog shelter, even one called a "resort", he would come home baying in the car and traumatized. But today he came home happy and fine. They have a great system at Lynda's for how they take care of the dogs, keep them safe, etc. They are super careful and very experienced.”
“Susan and David and their son did a fabulous job watching my Maggie while I was out of the country. All of their attention was on her. They were flexible and obviously caring. Their home was immaculate. Their communication was outstanding. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“We just picked up Glory from an 11-day stay with Jessica, and she seems to have had a GREAT time! Glory is a rescue that we've had less than a year, and this is the 1st time we have left her overnight; needless to say, we were worried! However, Jessica kept us up-to-date with pics & videos (even though we were in Mexico!), so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. We are EXTREMELY pleased with Jessica's care of our Glory-girl and will definitely use her again!!!! 5++++++ stars! Deb & Bob”
“Greg & Sonia have watched my dog Shelby a number of times and for extended periods of time, they do an amazing job with her. I hardly worry about her when I’m gone because I know she is in great hands! They are the first and only sitters I reach out to!”
“Danielle was amazing with our dog. Provided updates. Our dog has anxiety and doesn't do well in caged boardings. Danielle was very patient and took great care of her when we were away. 100% recommend and we'll use her again.”
“Kent was available at a weeks notice and fast to respond. Immediate rapport with our dog, very attentive and asked questions to make sure he knew exactly what to do in terms of food, medication, etc. Very positive experience, definitely recommended.”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”

We had such a great experience with Kimberly! She was amazing with Mylo and super communicative the entire time. She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures, which made us feel so comfortable knowing he was in good hands. You can tell Kimberly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mylo seemed so happy and comfortable with her! We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Kimberly!
We had such a great experience with Edgar watching Koa over Labor Day weekend! Koa seemed right at home from the start—he ate well, got lots of playtime with Edgar’s kids and their dog London, and seemed so happy and comfortable when we picked him up. Edgar was incredibly thoughtful about the whole process and even set up a meet-and-greet beforehand so Koa and London could get to know each other and so we could see the space and feel comfortable leaving Koa there. He was kind, communicative, and genuinely caring, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Edgar watch Koa again!
Barbara was absolutely wonderful! She updated me and took pictures of my dog while I was gone. She took my dog for walks and gave treats! My dog seemed very happy with her. I Highly recommend Barbara as a dog sitter and will definitely use her again! Thank you so much Barbara for taking such good care of my girl!!!!
Christine took amazing care of our dog Simon! She went above and beyond to make sure he was given lots of love, and was energized with daily walks and enrichment. She was very attentive to his needs and sent regular updates, putting our minds at ease to know he was in good hands and well cared for throughout his stay. Christine was the absolute best!

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 Carol Stream 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 Carol Stream 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 Carol Stream.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Carol Stream 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.
