“One thousand percent would recommend!! They clearly spent time and care ensuring our dogs were 100% comfortable and cared for, and they gave us consistent updates on how they were doing the entire week we were gone. Absolutely will rebook in the future!”
“Jerica watched our puppy for us and I can tell he loved being with her. Communication was great and overall the rover experience with Jerica was easy. I will definitely rebook with her. Thanks again”
“We had a perfect experience with Melanie and Elisa and are very thankful for how they took care of our two dogs. We met up to make sure our doggos were a good fit in their home, and they asked plenty of questions about care and preferences. While we were away, we got detailed messages about the day's activities along with several photos. From the photos, we could tell the dogs felt right at home. We felt they were being well taken care of the whole time, and we hope they can stay over again soon!”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Sarah! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. Sarah was so welcoming, and her setup was perfect—my dog felt right at home and barely noticed I was gone! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares about your pet’s comfort and happiness. Highly recommend Sarah on for anyone looking for peace of mind while they’re away.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elgin
Lindsey was absolutely amazing with our dog for the entire week! From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in loving, caring hands. She kept us updated, treated her like part of her family, and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and spoiled the whole time. When we received multiple daily updated pics, she was relaxed, well cared for, and honestly looked like she didn’t want to leave! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was with someone so trustworthy, attentive, and genuine. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like they’re her own. We will definitely be using her again! 🐾💕

There are 3,425 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elgin. About 92% 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
