“We left all 3 of our dogs with Jessica for 12 days and they had a blast! She is extremely caring and sent videos to us while we were gone. She treats them like they are her own. They now have a new second home when we travel and we're so grateful to have found her!”
“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!”
“Jackie and her family took such wonderful care of our two pups, who are always so anxious to be away from home. They came back to us happy, healthy, and maybe just a little disappointed that they had to leave their new friends. Highly recommend Jackie!”
“Danielle was great, she was flexible with our drop off and pick up schedule and was very willing to snuggle with our dog, who believes she was born to do nothing else.”
“Kimberly was great! She has an excellent rural location with lots of place for pets to roam around. She kept on updating and sending photos all the time. When we picked up our pet he looked really good and it showed that he had a good time with her. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“I wanted to leave a 5 ⭐️review and a BIG thank you to this wonderful family who watched my dog . I spent my whole trip getting to see my dog and follow her day through pics and videos. I actually found out my dog likes toys and activities that i did not know about. My dog was treated with love and patience and was so busy with exercise and activities, she was like a new dog when i got her home . I just cannot be more appreciative to this sitter for going above and beyond for my dog, who is my ❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ i would give 100 stars if i could . Thanks again for being so kind and attentive to my dog”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Lizzie and her husband were great with our 80lb hyper puppy. They took the time to let us come over prior, to introduce our puppy to their dogs. Our dog had a great time running around their yard and playing with their dogs. They sent videos and picture updates to let us know how he did. We definitely recommend their services!”
“Mera was incredible with my dog Winston. He is an older dog and Mera went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. I am very thankful to Rover for connecting me with Mera!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elburn
Morgan was fantastic! This was our first time leaving our pup Cosmo overnight with someone who wasn’t a family member, so I was a little nervous. Morgan and her husband quickly put us at ease in our meet & greet, and Cosmo made friends with her two sweet dogs right away. On the day of drop off, it was so nice to see Cosmo already feeling comfortable with Morgan before we left. We appreciated Morgan’s responsive communication, and she sent several updates and photos to keep us connected during Cosmo’s stay. We loved knowing that he was busy getting some good playtime and socialization with Morgan’s pups. It was especially heartwarming to learn that Cosmo was welcome to sleep in her bed (with the whole pack!) overnight. We will happily reach out again for future stays. Thank you Morgan & Co.!
We were so impressed with Amy’s care of our dog. She and her two daughters treated him like family for the week he was with them. I think he still misses all the attention from them. We were able to travel stress free, knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend Amy for anyone looking for pet care. She is one of the best we’ve used on Rover! You won’t worry about leaving your pet behind when they are in her care. 10 stars +++

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elburn home-away-from-home, 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 Elburn.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
