“I was a bit anxious because my pup is still young and he never stayed at someone else's house before, and it is first time in a while for me being away from my pup, but Barbara made me feel at ease!! It was probably more of separation anxiety for me being away from my dog then the other way around :D She sent pictures and updates and the pup was taken care of, looked happy and enjoyed his stay! Barbara and her family were very nice and I will use her services again when I go on vacation!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kent was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Chloe. Chloe is a difficult case because she can’t be alone because of her separation anxiety she can’t be with other dogs because of her reactivity. This makes her somewhat high maintenance. Kent was able to handle and he loved taking care of her! I’ll be back to ask Kent again to take of Chloe for the upcoming holidays. Kent is very communicative and and just an overall sweet, wonderful, caring and competent person.”
“Palvi is very nice and did a great job in taking care of Snoopy over 5 days while we were on vacation. Snoopy is shy, anxious by nature & picky eater. Snoopy got comfortable with her family in short time & had good fun time playing hide & seek with her kids & her pet Corgi. We are so thankful that we found Palvi & would definitely recommend her.”
“We had the best experience leaving Scooby with Annika and Grant. They are kind, responsible and kept us very informed about how he was adjusting to a new setting. We will definitely contact them again!”
“Sonia and Greg took care of our dog over the 4th. It is a difficult time for our dog with the fireworks but I felt like our dog was given the space and comfort needed to handle the situation. I would definitely use them again”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for my puppy, Mabel. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated and sent the cutest photos throughout Mabel's stay. As anyone with a puppy knows, they can be full of energy and a little chaotic at times, but Michelle handled Mabel's craziness with patience and confidence.”
“Judy stayed with Piccolo (our 7 month old chihuahua) for 4 days while we were out of town. She sent us pictures regularly and kept us informed about how he was doing. He LOVED Judy and felt very comfortable with her the moment he walked into her house. Judy is very experienced with dogs and Went above and beyond our expectations. I would 100% recommend her. Thanks for the great service watching Piccolo!!!”
“Robynn was absolutely incredible, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure both my dogs and I felt completely comfortable. She provided detailed updates throughout the stay, including messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear in every interaction how much she genuinely cares for the dogs she watches. She was also very thoughtful in checking in with me, asking questions about my dog’s eating habits and behaviors to make sure everything she was seeing was normal. That level of attention and communication meant so much to me. What really stood out was how she stepped in during a last-minute situation when my original boarding plans fell through. Despite the short notice, she made time for a quick meet and greet and handled it so professionally and thoughtfully. She introduced the dogs one at a time to ensure they were comfortable and compatible, which immediately reassured me that my dogs were in the best hands. You can truly tell that Robynn loves what she does and treats every dog like her own. I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs with her, which is priceless. I will absolutely be rebooking with her and highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter.”
“"Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arizona. I was very satisfied with the care she received and greatly appreciated the updates, feedback, and pictures while I was away. When I picked her up, she seemed so happy and content, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It's clear she was well cared for, and I know she'll be in great hands when I book with you again in the future. Thank you for everything!"”

“Giselle was an exceptional, approachable nature made our interactions enjoyable and effortless. Based on my experience with her and the family, we can go back to her for our husky baby sit. She send us photos and meet and greet was great ?”
About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I work really close to my apartment. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends.

“Simba had a great time with Allis Im sure he will miss being over there. Allis is a great sitter, sends videos and pictures throughout stay and you can tell she truly cares about your pet as if her own. Definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in future.”

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!

There are 5,696 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Carol Stream. About 91% of Carol Stream sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
