“Dayana was a great dogsitter to our puppy Honey. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day of Honey having fun and being taken on walks, and she was very nice and communicative. I will definitely be reaching back out for more dog sitting with Dayana!”
“Twigs had an incredible time with Ruben and I got lots of updates and pictures. Ruben is super flexible and communicative and I can’t wait to send our baby back again, couldn’t recommend enough”
“Karen is the best! Haku is so happy to see her every time. I really appreciated how flexible and understanding she was even with unexpected changes to my work schedule. Wonderful person, we are so excited to see her again soon!”
“Christian was great! Used him as a first time sitter and he had great calm and clear energy that let me know my dog would be in good hands. I’m really happy I chose to book with him.”
“We had a great experience with them during our stay in Chicago. We had to change our schedule around last minute and they were super accommodating and prompt with responses. Our pup had an amazing time with them. Highly recommend them for your pet care!”
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”
“Haku was so tuckered out after spending the day with Sam! I really appreciated the cute little video he sent of Haku meeting another dog. Can’t wait for Haku to have more fun days with Sam!”
“Gaby was great! Gaby has been walking my puppy for a few weeks now and she loves her! We thought we would try day care with Gaby and it was perfect for her. Gaby was very accommodating and able to keep my puppy a bit longer since I was delayed.”
About: I’ve been experienced with dogs for about 15 years, I have professional dog walking and sitting experience as well for 2 years working for a smaller dog walking company based out of Chicago. I have also cat sat long term for a family of one furry friend. I have 1 pup of my own, a corgi named Andy. He is 4 and had a lot of energy but he picks up on hints if older pups don’t like to play. 🐕🦺🐾🦴 One of us works from home and the other goes into the office . I understand that pets are our children and need flexibility so don’t hesitate to reach out for accommodations. Plenty of toys and enrichment will be available for the pups/pets. Water will be full as expected and food given based off your pets feeding schedule. No dogs will be given human food. Treats by me will be provided upon approval. I will need to know allergies in advance.
“My dog Coco had a wonderful time with Emily and Amy and their dog, Pepperoni 🌶. I would certainly recommend Emily to anyone needing doggy day care. And I will certainly bring Coco again.”
“I can’t recommend Mary enough! She stepped in last minute to take care of our pup, Monty, for a full day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we met her, she was welcoming and friendly, giving us a tour of her lovely home, which put us at ease knowing Monty would be well cared for. Mary took Monty out for a walk, fed him, and even has grassy areas in her backyard for him to enjoy. She kept us updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. It was clear he was having a great time! If you’re looking for someone to care for your pup, look no further than Mary. She truly is fantastic!”
“Aaron was completley Amazing! My pup truly enjoyed his stay. Aaron was able to maintain our schedule so that my pup could succeed at toilet training, eating his meals at appropriate times, napping, and play time. Aaron was extremely attentive, and Prince had so much fun playing and hanging out with another dog one day, and also experiencing Aaron's affection. When I picked Prince up, he didn't want to leave. Aaron. Prince truly bonded with Aaron. It's nice to have someone you completely trust with your pet.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of pets since I was 8 years old. Cats, Dogs, Fish, Frogs, Turtles, Ferrets, Hamsters, you name it! I truly love our furry and non furry friends. Animal Behavior experience. I’ve volunteered at several animal shelters in my free time. I work from home! So almost all of my free time will be dedicated to your furbabies! I’m available 24 hours a day even for last minute bookings, emergencies. etc. i understand that life can be unpredictable so let me make yours a little easier. My home is an extremely welcoming environment. It’s private and quiet. I have secured gates on both my front and backyard so your pets will be safe. Both yards are cleaned daily to maintain safety and health. Plenty of open space for your dog(s) to roam. They will have access to both yards to do nose work, play fetch, sun themselves, get fresh air, dig and just run around and play. I have access to several parks and quiet streets in the area for walk times, potty, training, and exercise. They will have access to fresh water, my bed, several pet beds, couch, bedroom beds, blankets, and an XXL crate (only should you want your pet to be crated). I have google home in my house to play soft music or green noise for nervous pets! I have toys, chews, treats, snuffle mats, slow feeders, and treat puzzles for indoor mental stimulation. Pets will be able to free roam 24/7 unless you request or require otherwise. I do have several extra bedrooms if you’d like to isolate them, or if they need to be isolated for any reason. Since this is a pet friendly area, all cleaning supplies/products are kept in an area that is inaccessible to pets. Your dogs will always be safe on walks as I double check harnesses and collars, typically use double leashes, or carry an extra with me. And reinforce re-call with treats and positive reinforcement. If your dog is very small or disabled, I will gladly carry them outside for walks so that they may still get fresh air and mental stimulation. My phone will be on and available for you to check on your pet as much as you’d like. I will send you several updates, pictures/videos, and keep communication open daily.
About: Please note - I can only host dogs that get along well with other dogs, as I usually watch more than one dog at a time. Hi! I'm Maggie. 👋🏼 I've been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From my very first poodle when I was five years old to my sweet pup today, dogs have been one of the greatest sources of love, joy, and companionship in my life. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets while they're away, and I've learned that every dog is unique. Some are full of energy and eager to play, while others need a little extra patience, reassurance, or time to feel comfortable in a new environment. Helping each dog feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pups with a variety of medical and emotional needs. I'm comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications, following detailed care instructions, and adapting to each dog's individual routine. Whether it's supporting a nervous dog through separation anxiety, encouraging a picky eater, or simply offering extra cuddles to a pup who's missing home, I believe that thoughtful, individualized care can make all the difference. To me, caring for dogs isn't just about feeding, walking, or playtime. It's about creating a space where they feel loved, secure, and truly at home until their favorite humans return. I can't wait to bond with your best friend! Caring for pups is the main thing I do currently, other than driving Uber when I'm not booked, and some house chores or studying from home. I will be at home with your pups at all times and I will have plenty of free time to play and interact with them. We have a large porch and fully fenced back-yard with a large tree where all pups love to run around and play. If the weather is nice, we are likely to spend most of the day outside, either at home or Palmer's park across the street. We allow our pups and guest pups on the couches and beds. I make sure the pups get a lot of attention and interactions, and also some needed down-time.
“Lorraine was amazing! She was so nice and inviting. Haku had a wonderful day hanging out in her lovely home and running around her yard! Definitely recommend Lorraine, she sent a ton of pictures and updates which I greatly appreciate!”
“We were visiting Chicago for a graduation and left our young golden retriever with Jennifer and her family. They have a nice yard set up and there were other dogs there for her to play with. They sent a video each day, which we appreciated, as well. Thank you!”
“Leaving Luna with Christine was such a great experience. Christine was extremely communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She left us with the most adorable goody bag as well, with a Polaroid to commemorate Luna’s stay. Above and beyond - would not hesitate to use her again.”

We were super happy with our experience with Sam from start to finish. He was very pleasant and communicative when I asked a bunch of questions before booking. He was super flexible and accommodating with the meet and greet. My pup usually is shy around strangers but she ran to him at the meet like he was a long lost friend. And then a few days later when we used him, she whined on his front porch with excitement. We appreciated the mid stay update and picture. She looked relaxed and had a smile on her face.
My Munchkin had a great time here! Will definitely be bringing him more often. The details on how he was getting along and whether he was able to eat his meals is greatly appreciated! The pictures are so nice to have too especially in the beginning when you’re not sure if he will play right away. Yes he did! :)
If I could give 100 stars. Lucy is the absolute best ever. I had a last minute change to my schedule and she accommodated me the morning of. She & her wonderful family have been taking care of my sweet baby Coraline for 3 years…and I don’t know what I would have done without them. Cora loves Lucy and all though I am moving away from Chicago, I will always bring Cora by to her second family when we are back in town! 💕💕💕💕💕 honestly, the best of all time. Thank you all so much for caring my baby
I booked with Esmirna again, this time for doggy daycare, and as always, it was a great experience. Nadia truly enjoys her time there and is always happy and comfortable when she’s with Esmirna. She is professional, kind, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. I would definitely recommend Esmirna to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Aaron was so helpful with watching our dog before our son’s birthday party! He was professional, friendly, and clearly a dog person (has a great calm energy around our pup). She warmed right up to him and I was grateful he was thoughtful enough to swing by and grab her day of vs us having to take her to him. We would def recommend Aaron and are looking forward to using him in the future!
Louie had a fun visit to Michelle's house and was able to play with two other dogs. Her son was home and took them all for a walk and shared pictures. It was exactly what I was looking for, a great way for my dog to be social with others, in an open safe place. This was my first use of Rover, and I'm glad it was with Michelle.
As a nurse I work 12 hour shifts, and I had to work 5 days in a row. Needless to say I was depleted and stressed. It meant so much to me to know Haku was getting the attention and love he deserves. Every day when he came home, he had already pottied and was ready for bed! Samantha and her family are wonderful, I am so grateful
Christine was our life saver when we visited Chicago. It was a last minute booking and she accommodated us quickly. She loved our fur baby! Our Rollo had a blast with her and her beautiful cats ♥️ Thank you, Christine! We appreciate your love and care for fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cicero on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Cicero commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,711 sitters in Cicero, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
