“We had a wonderful experience with Justine! Her love for animals is very evident. She is wonderful with communication and sent pictures and updates every day. She was also very accommodating with a few last minute changes that we made. I highly recommend Justine and Brett!”
“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”
“Robynn is absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had. Very responsive, sends lots of updates, and my pup who is a highly active cattle dog mix looked as comfortable with her as she is at home! Our dog can be very anxious away from us but we could tell from all of the pictures and videos that she was enjoying herself so much. We enjoyed our trip so much more knowing that she was enjoying her time with Robynn too :)”
“Susan, David and their son,Jack, were conscientious caregivers for our dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood her needs and preferences. We received updates with pictures of her walks and outside play. We would highly recommend their service.”
“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”
“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”
“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!”
“Amanda & Anton are both so amazing to work with! They have a lot of great experience with various types of dogs and got my dog assimilated into their clan seamlessly. I was very impressed as my dog is often mopey whenever I leave and has had issues with some dogs and cats in the past. The got him to be part of the family in less than 24 hours and he has a great weekend away! My dog is also special needs and has a lot of food allergies. They did a great job handling all his various medications and feeding routine. Their attention to detail and care for his needs made me feel better to leave him for the weekend and I felt very confident that he was in good hands.”
“Valentina was great! We had a change in our schedule and she was able to accommodate us easily! Our dog is also older and has issues with stairs- she was able to carry him up and down the stairs of her home to accommodate him. Thanks again!”
“Lynda is the best! She cared for our Muffin like family and was super communicative and flexible around our schedule (especially when our plans changed and flight home was cancelled). So glad we found her and would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a helping hand with their pooch. Thank you, Lynda!!!”
“Ashley was responsive and sent pictures of kylo! He came home tired but well taken care of. Even after flights were delayed so long, Ashley had her husband bring Kylo out to us and I appreciate that so much.”
“Matthew and Michelle were wonderful! Our pup, who has never stayed with anyone but family in the past, felt right at home with their clan. They listened when I explained quirks specific to my dog. They were great at sharing status updates and photos, and are really just lovely people who love dogs. We will defiitely utilize their help again!”
“Amberley was an awesome sitter for our dog. She took him for long walks and texted us pictures every day of him with her dog and cat so we were not at all worried about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
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
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“During our pup's stay, Bonnie treated him just like one of her own! She sent us so many pictures during his stay and he always looked so happy, loved, and well taken care of. Thank you, Bonnie!”
“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”
“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!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Carol Stream is $50

5 Stars for Harrison 😀. Benny has alot of care instructions and Harrison followed all the instructions perfectly. At the meet and greet Harrison asked so many good questions regarding Bennys care. Harrison was very attentive to Benny’s special needs and sent updates multiple times a day with photos which was greatly appreciated. I can tell Benny felt at ease with Harrison and would be looking to book with Harrison for future dates. So happy we found Harrison on Rover who met our every need for our Benny. Thanks Harrison!!
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!
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!
My dog was in really good hands. Rafal was easy to book and communicate. He was patient and understanding the needs of my senior dog with almost no vision and age-related issues. My dog actually came home relaxed and rested. Will book again if Rafal takes him😊 Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
