“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“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.”
“Natalie is Amazing sitter! She was very caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear he was happy and well taken care of. We really appreciated her flexibility and would definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Super flexible with my dog. Made her feel comfortable in her new environment. They took lots of pics and sent to me throughout my time away. My dog came back tired but happy. Thank you”
“Maria did a great job but what i appreciated was administering my guy's medicine and most of all staying up late to hand off my dog when my flight was badly delayed. Thanks again Maria”
“Courtney and her family saved us when we had a last minute family emergency from our usual sitter over the holidays! She sent photos and updates twice a day, and our dog had a wonderful stay.”
“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!”
“Had Chad again take care of my girl, Olive. As always, Chad and his wife take such good care of her and they are incredibly flexible, easy-going, and responsible. They are great!”
“We have a very nervous dog and Bonnie takes the best care of him! He loves going to Bonnie's house and is so relaxed when we pick him up. She sends us pictures frequently and we can tell he is so content!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Michael took care of my dog really well! She seemed really happy to be there and got alone well with the dogs. The responses were fast and updated me on my dog. I will book again when needed!”
“Roberto and his family did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Hopper while we were on vacation for two weeks. He sent us pictures and updates every day or two. They really made Hopper part of the family (even though Hopper kept stealing all of their dog’s toys and attention). We were very happy to be able to leave Hopper in a home where he was so well cared for.”
“Barbara and her family were very accommodating and I felt confident in dropping my dog off with them. I could tell my dog would be well loved, which is always a concern when leaving your dog with someone else. It is hard finding someone who is willing to take one dog at a time and my dog doesn’t get along with other dogs, so she and her family were the perfect fit! Thank you again Barbara!”
“Could not have been more pleased with the care and updates given by Ashley. My dog was recently diagnosed with diabetes and requires shots twice a day, I know the routine is not easy and she exceeded expectations”
“Michelle was wonderful! She was very responsive and my dog absolutely loved her. She sent picture updates and was very prompt with drop off and pick up. Highly recommend”
“Nina has a gentle way with dogs. Nina works with my dog, Nella when Nella boards with Nina. Nella is always a little better behaved after I pick her up. Nina shows a level of care and concerned that is unmatched. I feel comfortable that Nella is getting great care when I'm away. A wonderful place to board my dog.”
“Beth was wonderful! Very reliable, responsible, and great with communication. She also sent pictures while on trio of my puppies and fast responses to my messages. I would highly recommend Beth based on not just her being so great with pets but also because she is very caring and genuine with not only the pets but the owners too which made us feel very comfortable. She was and is the best! We will be having her for any trips watching our puppies in the near future!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jackie and her family! Our dog Ivy is treated like one of their own dogs and we appreciate that! We also love getting videos and pictures daily!”
“Robert was so wonderful to work with. He sent us plenty of updates with photos/videos, responded in a timely manner, and was able to accommodate our dogs to both his great dogs. He helped ease our minds as we went on vacation for a few days. We definitely will be working with Robert again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carol Stream
Kimberly and her family took great care of my two pups for a long weekend! We received daily pictures and updates that made us feel reassured our dogs were taken care of properly. We could tell she treated them like they were her own! One of our dogs takes at daily medication for their skin allergies and Kimberly was very accommodating with making sure she received it every day. Our dogs had lots of play time as we could tell from one of their toys losing a limb over the weekend (not uncommon for our aggressive chewers). We will definitely be using Kimberly’s services in the future since it was a smooth and easy booking!
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Carol Stream on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 5,547 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.
