“Was nervous cause of my first time using the app but she sent videos and pictures throughout the day giving updates what they’re doing without asking. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.”
About: My experience includes caring for cats and doggies, including pups, with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Super comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and medication schedules when needed, managing puppy potty breaks and exercise, and providing the same attention (and cuddles) for kitties. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions to ensure pets feel well cared for! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to do drop ins when needed as well as at home care/boarding attentively. I also live with my partner who can offer a second set of eyes in the afternoons and evenings! As part of our normal routine to stay active, my partner and I regularly like to step out for sun and take brief walks around the community area—so unless specified otherwise, we are happy to take your doggo along with us on our short walks (during boarding services). We have a two bedroom apartment where pets can roam and hang out in the common living space and guest room, as needed. Pets will not be allowed in our primary bedroom.
“Kristin was our first Rover dog sitter. We were traveling and had two day-long engagements that we needed pet care for. We feel so lucky that we found someone calm, safe, and caring. Tango seemed relaxed and happy after picking her up each days”
“Lots of communication and updates, Mango got along well with their dog, Sable, as well. Daycare card was very informative and everything was taken care of for Mango. Would highly recommend.”
About: My dogs are like my children, and I treat other peoples' dogs the same way. I have had dogs growing up and currently have two. Two of our seniors have recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and we miss them dearly. In addition to clients through Rover, I have done dog-sitting for friends and neighbors with great success. I make sure dogs in my care have plenty of companionship and exercise. I believe in rewarding dogs for good behavior rather than punishing them for doing something wrong. I do work full time as a teacher but am home in summers, and my husband works from home most days. If I’m visiting or staying at your house, there is a possibility I would need to bring my children (ages 9 and 7) with me depending on my husband’s schedule, so they would get lots of attention! For boarding, we have a dog door and a fenced in yard, so your pet can roam freely if you choose. We would just need to make sure our dogs all get along! I adore dogs and will shower yours with attention. Dogs in my care get very spoiled with lots of love! I’m a teacher, so I have more time in the summer but do have evening and weekend availability during the school year. If you choose to board, your pet will have 24/7 access to the yard through our dog door! My husband works from home most days with the exception of Wednesdays, so there is almost always someone home with your pet unless we are gone for activities with our kids. I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a friendly dog. If your dog is used to having free reign of the house when you’re gone, that will be the case at our house as well, and they will have access to the yard through the dog door. The door does have the ability to lock if escaping the yard is a concern. If your dog doesn’t learn the dog door, we will ensure they are able to get outside plenty. We will also respect any requests to crate during the day or at night.
“Our first time using Rover. Meet and greet was very nice and felt like we just made some new friends. I think Charlie was treated like a king. Will definitely be our go to when we need a sitter. 🙂”
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”
About: Hi, I’m Natalie! — a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet parent to birds and a tortoise who both have their own rooms which allows for complete separation while your animal(s) are here! With years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, I know every animal deserves personalized attention and love. Because I do have epilepsy, I provide pet care at my home, where your furry, feathered, or scaled friend will be safe, happy, and treated like family while you’re away. Although I do only take 1 CLIENT at a time, if your house has more than 1 animal, I ABSOLUTELY allow all animals from the same household at the same time! I do work from home which allows me full attention to be able to play, feed, let outside, and anything else that your pet may need, want or require! Although I do only take 1 CLIENT at a time, if your house has more than 1 animal, I ABSOLUTELY allow all animals from the same household at the same time! I have a fully fenced in backyard which allows for lots of outside zoomies, and also a couple balls for some outside fun! I do have a XL- “Kong” crate if needed, I also have food and water bowls, I never mind if dogs are allowed on furniture and or beds. I also have experience with senior dogs, administering meds and dogs that may need to be diapered!
About: I have taken care of dogs of my own for 15 years and enjoy having other pets around to play with. Speaking from experience it’s nice to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets when you have other responsibilities. I currently work from home several days a week so am available most days. My dogs typically are in and out as much as they want. I have a fenced yard that’s larger so there is plenty of room for outside play time. I’m also available to come to your house to spend time with your pets.
“My family and I were traveling with our dog and wanted to have an option for doggy day care. Kirsten was an excellent choice! We felt confident that our dog was having fun on her vacation day with Kirsten, while we enjoyed some tourist attractions that weren't pet- friendly! Thanks to Kirsten, I will definitely use Rover.com again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl and to this day I rescue animals or I give them a safe home until I can find there forever homes. I’m a stay at home mom looking to make money for my kids. I’m available all day every day. I run on routine. I have a fenced in yard and a chocolate lab who loves to have friends to play with. I am always attentive and aware of all or any animals around me
About: I’ve worked at Banfield pet hospital in different states, expanding my knowledge of different species from different regions. My grandmother owned a grooming business when I was a little rascal, which allowed me to be around fluffy friends all day. I work a typical day shift so my home is up and active by 6:30am every weekday and we’re on a walk before I head off to work. Evenings consist of walks before and after dinner. I allow animals to roam home as a part of their natural curiosity. I’ll have very deep conversations with my furry friends because I know for a fact they understand me, just as I do them. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and, on average, I bike 10 miles a day to stay in top shape.
“Tito was so well taken care of and returned a very happy dog after his stay at Wendy and Kurt’s! Thank you for easing this dog mom’s concerns and taking such great care of Tito!”
“Raven had a wonderful stay with Greg and Jane. This is a perfect situation for her as she is nervous around other dogs but is comfortable around people. Greg had a sharp eye to get her out for walks duriing the period and in general provided for a tranquil stay. She was in a great mood when I picked her up and Greg had walked her just before my arrival so that she had already gone potty before I came. I'm thrilled with Greg and Jane's attentive care and will try to see if they are willing to care for her in the future. Thank you!”
“AJ was great with our dogs Gus and Macey. Macey was very apprehensive when we first left but AJ gave her space and was patient and she warmed up to her and her family after about 20 minutes. Gus and Macey seemed to enjoy their time with AJ.”
“Isa has been wonderful and takes very good care of Evie for me. She is responsive, and checks in during the day to let me know how she is doing. I’m very thankful to have a safe and fun place to take my pup. She is the best.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Deer Plain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 622 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Deer Plain. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Deer Plain 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.
As of October 2026, there are 622 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of IL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 622 sitters in Deer Plain, 86% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
