“Elizabeth was fantastic!! Both of our fur babies were well taken care of. We received pictures regularly with the updates. She even bathed both dogs before we picked them up. Would highly recommend her to care great care of your pets.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 15 years and I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years. My family and I love dogs and cats with a passion! I am aware what to look out for trouble wise and will keep you informed I work full time as a veterinary technician however my schedule is repetitive so I can offer the same consistent care as I give to my own pets. I have a completely fenced yard and I do not leave any pets outside unsupervised at any time. I do not restrict pets from being on the furniture unless otherwise instructed and I will care for your pets just as I do my own.
“Sonia took great care of our boy. Not to mention she took him in at the last minute. She sent great photos. We knew as soon as we dropped him off that he was in good hands. I highly recommend and would definitely book Sonia again.”
“Our sweet boy would be an anxious mess when I’m away. Thanks to Rodnie and her family, my Jet Pack felt right at home and made friends with the other dogs. Thank you again for giving comfort and love for my pupper, easing what would normally be a stressful time.”
“Her performance on watching my dog was great. The updates, and pictures of my dog during her stay was right on time. The amenities and her house were the right thing. I would use her again, and again.”
“Janie is always amazing and Kirby loves her and the other pups! Every time we go to drop him off now he forgets all about us and is just so ready to play. We love having him stay with Janie.”
“Valeriia was the sweetest and most patient with my dog that has a hard time with new people. She was so attentive towards him and always respecting his pace towards meeting new people. She was very responsive and always keeping me updated on my dog’s day while I was out of town.”
“I cannot say enough great things about Shevell! Her and her family took such amazing care of my Jack Russell while I was away, and I could tell from the moment we met that they truly love animals. They were super communicative, sending daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know I have someone trustworthy and kind to rely on when I need a sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Jessica was fantastic! She gave him tons of attention and play time, and sent me daily updates and photos. My dog got along great with her two pups and I was glad for him to have other dogs to play with while I was out of town. She gladly used potty pads in her home as requested and everything went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Jessica.”
“Cheyanne is flexible abs communicative. We left our Jasper with her for the weekend and got frequent updates about his well-being. He was happy and relaxed with her.”
“Sarah took great care of my dog and she was very flexible and understanding of my dog’s specific needs. Sarah’s communication is excellent and I received lots of photos and updates.”
“Cassandra and Jason were AMAZING - the best Rover care we have ever experienced. We booked them for an extended stay on short notice when our initial plans changed. They were so communicative and always sent prompt updates & photos. They took Junie on numerous walks and were always asking about her routine to maintain consistency. We feel so fortunate to have found Cassandra and Jason, and I would recommend them to anyone that wants the best care for their pets. We’ll be sending Junie their way for all future stays!”
“I can not put into words how grateful I am to have found Bekah for my dog baby! My first time with an overnight dog sitter and Bekah was wonderful, attentive and caring! I would love to keep her all to myself and dog baby but she must be shared ! If you’re in need of someone to watch j your baby, she’s is the one !!”
“We cannot thank you enough Jehisson for the incredible care you gave our dog Milo. From the moment we dropped him off, we could tell he was in the best hands. You were so sweet, patient, and loving with Milo, and it truly showed in how relaxed and happy they were when we returned. You followed every request perfectly — from feeding and walks to all the little routines that helped make him feel comfortable. The updates and photos you sent were such a thoughtful touch and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear you genuinely care, and that meant the world to us. Thank you for treating our pup like family. We are so grateful for your kindness, attention to detail, and the extra effort you put into everything. We would absolutely trust you again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”

“Margot had a lovely stay with Zhian and her family! I got lots of photo and video updates daily and I know Margot got showered with lots of love and attention at their home. Looking forward to another stay with Zhian!”

Lindsey, is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Joy, and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout the stay. This was our second time booking with her, and she’s been wonderful every time. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. We completely trust her and will definitely continue booking with Lindsay. Highly recommend!

There are 3,446 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elgin. About 91% of Elgin sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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 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 pet, 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.
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 TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
