“Justine and Brett were amazing to work with. We were first time rover users and from the first message I sent they were great with communicating and setting up the booking. They were super friendly and welcoming. You can also be confident that with Justine’s background working with pets she knows what questions to ask to take the best care of your dog and they really do treat your dog like their own. One of my favorite parts was how they sent pictures of our dog playing and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and we will be booking again!”
“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!”

About: I've taken care of pets ever since I was a kid. When I was in high school, my family hosted dogs of all sizes, including one of my favorites, a Burnese Mountain Dog named Ruby. Lately I've had the chance to watch my brother's two dogs (as seen in my bio pics) when he travels. I work a semi-active full time job over the week, with plenty of energy to spare when I'm not working. I am fully available over the weekends from Friday evening straight through to Sunday! I also am free on weekdays for walks or drop-ins as long as it's before 7:30 am or after 5 pm. Your dog will stay in a cozy, smoke-free condo where they are welcome on the furniture and bed. While I don't have a yard, I love taking long, frequent walks around the neighborhood. For their comfort and safety, I host one family at a time and ask that owners provide the dog's preferred bed or crate if possible
“Kimberly was a great sitter for our Charlie! She sent numerous videos, photos and updates throughout the stay! She helped our nervous boy feel right at home. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“If I could, I would give Robynn a 10 star review .I did had a lot of Dogsitter options to choose from ,but what did she do so different from what others did not ?Well , she immediately offered a meet and greet after she confirmed she is available .If you love your dog I think that knowing who you leave them with it’s very important .During my dogs stay she was really engaged. She offered a lot of exercise and play time. She also send me updates ,a lot of photos and videos of her. She’s also so creative☺️. She edited one video and made it so cute, I think I watch the 10 times in one day! She is a awesome dogsitter ! Thank you again Robynn!”
“Ashley is a wonderful pet sitter that really goes up and beyond! Our Ruby received so much attention, play time and walks. Ashley was great about sending us photos & videos too. We would gladly rebook with her. Thank you, Ashley!”
“My dog, Lacey, had such a fun time staying with Nina and playing with her dogs!! Nina did a great job communicating and even washed Lacey's dog bed when it got muddy. Both dog mom and pup approved”
“Our dog Marty had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house. He was all smiles when we picked him up. I would recommend Maria to anyone who likes their dog to have fun interacting with other dogs.”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Bonnie was amazing with our sweet girl. She kept us informed everyday how she was doing and also sent us pictures! She responding back in a timely fashion as well. I had no worries leaving her for 8 days . We will definitely be using her again! Thank you again!!”
“We had a fantastic experience when we left our 2 y/o Golden Retriever with Kelly and Tariq for a long holiday weekend. Before the visit, Kelly was very thorough with inquiring about care instructions and routines. During the stay, they provided an an environment that was so much more than merely pet-sitting; they provided a real "home" experience with a large clean house, spacious yard, and even kids to give belly rubs. In addition, we also really appreciated all of the text and picture updates throughout the weekend as well. Highly recommend.”
“We were hesitant to use this site because we had never left our dog with anyone besides our family, but we are so happy that we did!! We wanted to find someone close to us for less of a drive, rather than driving far to our family's homes. Lori was the absolute perfect fit. She has a dog who is friendly and playful and our dogs got along great together. She made me feel so comfortable while we were away on vacation. I missed my dog Maverick so much while we were gone but she made me feel better by sending pictures and videos - daily! - like I had requested, which put my mind at ease that Maverick was having fun. It seemed that Lori gave Maverick the perfect mix of energy and play time as well as love, attention, and cuddles! Thank you Lori for being a great mom to Maverick while we were away. We will definitely be returning to you in the future!!”

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!
Edgar helped us out last minute. He communicated during the entire two night stay, provided lots of pictures and updates and was patient and understanding with our dog since this was the first time we had left him with someone else. We appreciated everything he did for our dog and can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Edgar and his kids for loving our dog while we were gone!
We had a great experience with Paige! She was wonderfully communicative, sending us regular updates and photos so we knew our pup was happy and cared for. She was also super flexible when we were running ahead of schedule, allowing us to pick him up early. Her responsiveness and kindness made the whole process stress-free. We’d definitely use her again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Carol Stream on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,530 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carol Stream. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Carol Stream sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Carol Stream landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
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.
