“Mary was the perfect choice for our dog Max and I am so glad I found her! She had a large yard for him to roam around in and she gave him so much love and attention. She also provided us with daily updates which the kids loved! I felt comfortable leaving him with her and was confident he was well taken care of and being spoiled. I will definitely use her the next time we need someone to care for Max!”
“Boarding with Summer was great! She made it all very easy and I was never worried about my dog. She even sent a picture of him and gave me some updates to let me know that he was doing well.”
“Nicole and her family are great! I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received pictures regularly and could tell he was a happy pup. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a happy environment for their pups.”
“Tanya is an excellent Sitter. I don’t think five stars is even enough. I know that lucky, my dog really like being there.. I would recommend her to anyone that asked me if I knew a Sitter.”
“I feel like we have found a diamond in the rough. Jacqueline, Kris and Bella are so kind and truly are dog lovers. We received updates with pictures during Piper's stay. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Piper to run and sniff. Cannot say enough positive remarks regarding the excellent care Piper received. We highly recommend Jacqueline's family for daycare or boarding, and will be boarding again in the future!”
“A very loving family with lots of pet experience. They were able to teach my dog how to “drop” a ball after fetching. Before she would not want to give it up after fetching a toy. They also helped her learn how to get along with other dogs.”
“I felt that Marble was in good hands and didn’t have to worry about him at all during our trip while he was with Bath. He seemed very happy in the pictures she sent on his walks! Thank you!”
“They were very kind . They sent pictures to my phone (while I was gone) showing her walking, eating, or napping. I felt comfortable leaving my dog baby with them.”
“Carla did a great job watching and taken care of our dog Lizzo while we were out of town. She always provided amazing updates, photographs and videos of our pet, so we had a peace of mind. Lizzo seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. She play with her two dogs, especially her sweet heart Stella. At night, Lizzo slept with Carla. We are luck to have her because Carla really went above and beyond to take care of our dog. She is very trust worthy and caring and definitely recommend her.”
“I am a one-time out of town customer of Jeannie's dog sitting service. She responded quickly. We had great communication about my dog and the other dog she was hosting. I dropped my dog off with no fuss. As I was leaving she was walking my dog and the other dog on lease outside her house to introduce them on neutral territory. My pup was happy and healthy when I picked her up.”
About: I have been training/showing my dogs since 2002. I have been watching friends and family dogs for 10 years, puppy through 12 years old. While in my care basic manners will be reinforced through positive methods only. Having dogs in my home is always a joy. I am newly retired and now have the opportunity without work restrictions to care for your dog in my home with availability seven days a week. I have a fenced yard with a locked gate and a friendly dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if it is needed. My dog’s manners are always reinforced and awarded and so will yours in my care.
“Leaving my boy with Maggie and her family is what I truly hope anyone can receive from a sitter when leaving their pups. He was very well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“10/10 would recommend! Best dog sitter we've ever had! Niratcha kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, I always worry when we are away but knowing they were happy and playing the whole time made my vacation so much more enjoyable!”
“Leaving my dogs is never easy to do, however, Katey and her family immediately made me feel at ease. Katey was very welcoming to the dogs and receptive to learning their needs. Throughout the weekend, she kept me updated on how the dogs were doing and included supporting pictures. Not only was Katey great at caring for our dogs, but also her family and personal pets. The large fenced in yard was a bonus on top of the great service. We will definitely return to Katey for our future dog watching needs!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and deep love for animals that goes far beyond just a job. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in East Dundee, IL for two years, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs every shift. It was an exhilarating experience, where I learned that every dog and cat have different needs and unique requirements. I have experience giving many dogs and cats their medications orally and with syringes because of working there. It was never easy, though, as I still have quite a few scratch and bite marks that have turned into scars. But, even with those, my love for animals has only grown and never shrunk. I want to use that experience to help work with dogs that may be the shyer type, ones who, like my own dog, are scared of strangers. I have additionally learned that every one of them have different boundaries and limits, and I have learned to respect those. It amazes me how many breeds are out there, for all animals, and I am excited to mark more off of my mental list once I meet yours! Similarly, at home, I have my own furry family. This includes a cat, dog, and in the past, a rabbit. On top of that, I’ve also fostered several litters of puppies within a 6 month period. I helped them grow strong, learn routines, and get ready for their forever homes. It is amazing how this experience impacted me, as I had the opportunity to be a part of all of their lives in a time where they were fully dependent. Additionally, by choosing me, you will be taking a part in my career path. I am going to be studying pre-vet next fall at a University, Lord-willing to become a veterinarian! Every chance I get to learn more about animals is a step in the right direction in my eyes. So, because of all this experience, I know exactly what it takes to keep the animal that I am taking care of in the most healthy state. Let me know a little, or a lot, about your animal once you book me, I won’t mind at all. I am a full-time student who attends school five days a week from 8-3p.m. I am available every weekday after 3p.m., and all day on Saturday! Reach out to me, and I’ll respond ASAP to see if your needs meet my availability! I will care for the animal with my highest effort, and make sure to always respect the required instructions. My home is a townhouse instead of a single-family home, but that does not mean I do not have space for your animal! I have an extra room in my house to place any animal(s) that I am watching, away from my own. It is a mid-sized empty bedroom that has a bed and a desk. If your dog or cat boards in my home, feel free to provide their favorite toys, blankets, and bed so that they will feel at home with their own belongings in a safe and quiet space. I like to play soft, ambient music before bedtime for my own animals, and I’ll plan on playing some for yours as well, since it can help the nerves.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was young. I've always had a dog growing up! After moving to Sycamore in 1998, I moved into a farm. We had almost every farm animal, as well as cats. I've had all of my dogs from puppies until the end. Come summer, I am free all the time! I work at the school district! Just weekends are softball. My oldest is on a traveling team! I will follow what is needed to be done with your pet! Treat your pet like my own fur baby. Always lots of love and treats (if that’s okay with the treats lol)

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Colvin Park can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Colvin Park 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 Colvin Park.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Colvin Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Colvin Park 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
