“We had a wonderful experience with Jeff and Jirapun taking care of our dog, Miley. They kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Miley was well cared for and very comfortable with them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Miley. We truly appreciate your kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely look forward to leaving Miley with you again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Our boy Asher had a blast with them! We really appreciated the consistent thorough daily updates. They are so easy to communicate with and some of the best sitters!”
“Cassandra & Jason were great sitters for my dog, Luna. They were extremely communicative, quick to respond, and provided many updates throughout the weekend. When I picked up Luna, I could tell she would love to stay there again!”
“My two puppies have truly enjoyed their stay with Amber and her dog, Bella! Amber has been extremely accommodating of our needs and flexible through our many adjustments of our schedule. Our two puppies seemed happy and calm from the many photos that were provided regularly! Happy to know our dogs were well taken care of!”
“Jerica did an amazing job making our boys feel at home. As soon as we got home they went straight to sleep because of how much they were playing! She kept us in the loop their entire stay with updates and pictures. We would love to book her again and would recommend her to any pup parents 🥺”
“Shevell is very responsive to messages/texts and the great communication helped me with planning the boarding, ensuring she knew our dogs Taylor and Charli's normal routines and behavior, etc., and just overall made me feel comfortable and at ease with her watching our pups. At drop-off, I met her oldest son who was going to help and he was sweet and great with Taylor and Charli. My dogs seemed to feel comfortable right when I dropped them off (our more nervous dog took longer, but even she started exploring right away lol)! Shevell sent me adorable updates during our trip and when I picked them up, Taylor and Charli seemed happy as could be. Shevell let me know that all went well, and they got along her dog - I couldn't be happier and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Our dog has separation issues & is often a little picky about his friends, but he settled down with Rodnie & her pups nicely for the weekend. Rodnie allowed him to feel at home...... sleeping on her sofa!! She sent us an update so we were ensured all was well. We have already booked him again with Rodnie for his next stay!”
“This was the first time we have ever left our dog with anyone. She has a severe separation anxiety and Sarah was so good and patient with her. We definitely have some work to do on the anxiety part, but are grateful for Sarah's feedback and willingness to be our first overnight test run. We would absolutely use her again.”
“Elisa was available in short notice. She was very quick in replying to my messages. I loved that she sent me pictures of Roky playing with her family and kept me updated. Roky seemed very happy and loved by Elisa and her family. Thank you Elisa!”
“She kept me posted with texts and pictures of my dog. He had never been boarded before so I was concerned about leaving him. Everything was good. I would use Megan again for she proved to be a great sitter.”
“Super two thumbs up for Onel taking care of my pup! I left my dog with Onel for a full week and he got all the love and care he needed! Onel was extremely responsive to communication and worked very well with me for drop-off and pick-up times. Additionally, I could tell my dog LOVED Onel’s caring environment. My pup got all the love he needed from Onel and I could detect it as we left which says volumes. I highly recommend Onel for dog-sitting, especially longterm ones like the seven day one I booked with him!”
“Tracy was excellent and took good care of Charlie. She was flexible with our drop off and pickup window, sent photos and updates, and helped our anxious Charlie boy feel right at home.”
“Bekah was amazing as always! She had amazing communication and I never worried that Roxy was happy or taken care of. She truly loves the pups like they are her own and cares for them so much! We will definitely use her again!”
“Aimee was a great sitter. I felt comfortable leaving my little guy with her. She was communicative and on time. She sent several pictures and videos to let me know Brody was doing well. Brody came back happy and well taken care of.”

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.

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.
