“Great place for our Bingo to stay ☺️. She was very spoiled by everyone in the house and had play buddies around the clock. Bonnie and her family made sure Bingo felt at home. Loved the daily updates and to know she was playing with the others dogs. Definitely will ask Bonnie to take care of Bingo next time ?”
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
“Danielle loves animals and you can tell! She was wonderful to work with and kept us up to date on our Daisy with great photos and stories. Go with Danielle—she’s a sweetheart!”
“Giselle did a wonderful job boarding my dog while I was gone for a week! She is very responsive and quick to get back via text. I will definitely have Giselle watch my dog again!”
“Courtney kept us updated with lots of pictures of Clover, we missed him so bad so it was VERY nice to get pictures throughout the day! Thank you for taking such good care of him!”
“Tosha was an amazing dog sitter! She cared for my dog, Maggie, like her own, giving her so much love and attention. I could tell Maggie was happy and well taken care of when I got her back. Communication was great, and I felt completely at ease knowing Maggie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Tosha to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Sonia provided us with pics and texts to allow us to keep up with how Misha was handling being left home when we needed to travel out of state. Misha who is housebroken and loves all human contact, didn't accept being left behind and presented Sonia with challenges that we never anticipated, taking out her unhappiness on her. Sonia rose to the challenge questioning us on how to handle her behaviors and ruling out any suspected health issues as causes. Misha was well cared for and I have no reservations recommending Sonia as a dog boarder.”
“Leaving your pet with someone you don’t know is hard but when I first met Jackie I knew she would be a good match for us and our dog Ivy. We loved the videos and pictures and according to her young son we need to bring her back. ?”
“David and Mary were very communicative throughout Bender’s stay. We were gone for a week and Bender had a difficult time adjusting and got sick. They went the extra mile to care for him by changing his diet and providing him medicine. I appreciate their efforts and for keeping me updated throughout! Would definitely recommend them for future stays!”
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. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”
“"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!"”
“My usual sitter had an emergency & had to cancel on us. I found Rover.com & Edgar came to our rescue!! He was extremely accommodating with last minute plans for our two pups!! He has a beautiful fenced back yard & family that also helped to make our fur babies feel more at home. I could tell from update photos & messages daily that my boys were being well taken care of. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Edgar & fam ❤️”
“Robert looked after my dog Loki really well. He sent daily updates with photos and videos to keep us informed. Loki had fun during his stay. I’ll definitely be using his services for future needs.”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Our girl Sally spent 17 days with Dave while we traveled. Dave has a very dog-friendly house, and other pups came in to spend time with Sally. They all got along splendidly. It was like a vacation for Sally, too. Dave communicated with me frequently, which was reassuring since we were a thousand miles away. I will request Dave again because I know how happy Sally was in his care.”

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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
