About: I have taken care of pups and kittens to older cats and dogs for about 5 years. I understand that they need love and care just like us humans do. I mostly work on my computer and take care of my daughter so, I'm pretty flexible. Their every need will surely be met. I have a 3-year-old and she loves animals, although she will be at school a great deal at the time. I have a nice space for dogs to walk around or play in my apartment as well as a park down the street with a big field. I am hospital and respectful in the dog's home as well.
About: I offer loving care for all the dogs we sit. My little ones enjoy playing and treating each dog like their own. My flexible schedule allows us to care for your dogs, taking them on walks, playing, and learning their unique traits. If you're looking for dog care, I’m just a few clicks away. Thank you for trusting us to ensure your pets are well taken care of. I appreciate your confidence in our service. Thank you again. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I can accommodate pick-up and drop-off around my children's school schedules. I have ample time to care for your fur babies with love and attention. I have a fenced backyard for your dog to enjoy and one friendly dog to keep your fur babies company. If needed I can easily separate or crate them.
“I was nervous about leaving my 8 week old puppy for the first time. Iman was nice and I could immediately see how patient she was with each dog. Her love for animals truly standout I will definitely rebook with her again I'm thr future.”
About: I have been a dog owner for over 25 years. I currently have a 3 year old golden doodle and a 10 year old yorkie/maltise mix that I rescued from the shelter when she was just 7 months old. Being a dog owner for over 25 years has given me a lot of experience and patience with dogs. I am recently retired and have even more time with my fur babies. My dogs get routine walks and playtime at our local doggie park. I have a fenced in backyard for your fur baby to stretch out and play. Your dog will have their own personal cage and space while in my care.
“Michelle provides amazing daycare. She welcomed my dog Snoopy with a gentle and loving manner. Snoppy is excited to see Michelle when we arrive and is relaxed and tired when we get home.”
“Very pleasant and flexible. They took my pup on walks and sent pictures. The children seemed to love my dog as well. There may be other dogs on property at the same time in case that's an issue for your dog.”
“Mercedes is literally the best. She sent me pictures of my Ryder throughout the day and he looked so happy. I knew that he was in good hands. I will definitely return!!”
“Eunita Was The Best Sitter Ever! My Pup Prince Loved Her & Barely Wanted To Come Home When I Arrived To Pick Him Up. My Experience Was Wonderful I Work Early Mornings And Eunita Was Able To Accommodate My Schedule. She Sent Me Pictures And Kept Me Updated On Prince Throughout The Day. If Your Looking For The Perfect Sitter..She’s The Best Choice!”
About: I’m my family, I was the one who cared for the animals all the time. I bathed, cleaned, fed and played with them all the time. I am unemployed and in school, so if I was able to be away from my own pets to be with a variety of other different pets I’d be satisfied with happiness everyday. In my home they’ll be cared for by being fed, being played with. Cuddles during a nap and outside playing of course. I can’t wait to spend time with different types of dogs and cats.
“Maren has been a godsend to us. We brought Luna home at 8 weeks and I was super nervous about finding someone to look after her while my partner and I are at work. We were in a tricky position because she's not crate trained yet, so she needs all-day care, but doggy day care's won't accept her because she doesn't have all her shots. When I asked Maren to look after our little rascal 2x a week for 2 months, she was incredibly accommodating. It's been 2 weeks now since Luna has started "camp Maren" and it's been great. Maren communicates well and sends multiple updates throughout the day. Luna loves Maren so much that she does a little happy dance (which involves jumping, wiggling, and lots of kissing) every time they meet and I can tell she's not quite ready to leave when we come pick her up. If you want someone who will love and take care of your dog as her own, look no further! Thanks, Maren!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Amy. She is so flexible, accommodating, and genuinely cares for my little fur baby as if it were her own. Her dependability gives me such peace of mind every time!”
About: I’m really a dog lover and have always been around them. They’re kids honestly. Imagine a different one per day that’s amazing to me ! Recently moved to Illinois where I now work for Alter Domus, an investment firm in Downtown Chicago and it’s work from home. I have all the time in the world to watch them !! Love them and it’s definitely therapy to me also. Continuing what I started in Ohio with Rover here ! My neighborhood is full of dogs and grass for them to walk. It’s away from danger and quiet, there might be a friend outside too.
About: Your family is my family I have a genuine love for all animals. Some call them pets I call them family! I enjoy spending time with these adorable fur babies, and this app allows me to do it for most of my day! I am pretty unorthodox as I don't have a 9-5 I believe in following my passions and this just so happens to be top of my list. My schedule is super flexible to cater to your families needs I have a fenced yard with plenty of room for running around, tossing a frisbee, or for just laying out and catching a breeze © I have cages if that's what you prefer, music, television, or even a good book if that's what your family enjoys I’m a stay at home mom so I enjoy the company! Pets are thee most loving and kindest to be around. It is my absolute pleasure to take care of them I have a fenced backyard, plenty of toys, dog treats and love to give! My style of caring for your fur babies is making them feel at home by keeping them close by my side until you return lots of rubs and walks so they can check out the neighborhood and get some fresh air!
“Janet was very pleasant and my dog got along good with her fur babies. There is confront in knowing your dog is being cared for properly. I will definitely be calling on Janet again. Peanut Butter and I Thank you”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs since I can remember and for that I have a such a warm heart for all the fur babies out there, I also have experience from when I took care of dogs from home for a few months before they left to their new families, that made me grow in being able to care for each dog/puppy as their own. I have also taken care of family members dogs , and I will be looking forward to watching over your doggies. Im currently doing schooling online so im home majority of my time , and have my own schedule so im available to have my attention on the dogs. In my home I have a fenced yard , and I will walk the dogs on leash every time I walk them/or take them out if you feel more comfortable.
About: Taking care of animals when explaining what I do is a understatement. I’ve had animals all my life, whether feeding, caring, etc… I’m the one to do it. I simply just have a genuine passion for pets. I’d have one of my own but I’m in school. From bathing, grooming, walking… I literally do it all. So let me get to know your pet. I currently work a Part-Time job so I definitely have freedom and time to care for your pet. My days are a little wonky, but I communicate so that won’t be a problem. In my home, a dog is not a animal. It might as well be a human. I treat ANY pet with extreme care, putting them first before my own self. In a client’s home, it’s the same way, obviously with owners guidelines in mind… I’d make sure the dog is in great hands and care.
“Jesus answered my early morning request and was able to accommodate us while visiting the city. My dog seemed happy and I appreciated the picture and communication. Will definitely use him again!”

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 Dolton 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 3,403 sitters in Dolton, 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.
