“We can't say enough good things about Amanda and Phil! We feel so comfortable knowing our dogs are in their care while we're away. They are genuinely great people, and we truly appreciate them looking after our dogs. Thank you so much!”
“Daniel was amazing! He was very accommodating with our high maintenance puppy. He sent plenty of pictures and updated which put me at ease. Arnie can’t wait to stay with you again!”
“Tien was super! Very welcoming and our dogs love playing with their dogs. Table were able to make arrangements over last-minute plans and still accommodated. We did overnight booking. I think I found our next doggy daycare fam! Thanks again”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care our puppy received! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. They treated him like part of the family, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I will definitely be rebooking with them!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort and well-being. I received updates and could tell my dog was happy and well cared for the entire time. I would gladly book with Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!🐾💕”
“Tallulah had an awesome stay with Leslie and Junie! They played and exercised and had fun! Leslie kept me in the loop with pictures and comments while I was away. I highly recommend Leslie if you need to leave your furbaby for any reason!”
“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”
“Chen Mei and Gary have watched Annie several times now! Annie always has a great time staying with them. They take great care of Annie and always make sure to send pictures and videos :) getting to play with Lucky is a big bonus!”
“Alexandra saved the day. I had to go out of town at the last minute and she was able to watch Zoey over the weekend, which was a lot more comfortable for Zoey than a long car ride on a hot weekend. Alexandra took great care of Zoey!!!!”
“She took really good care of my baby Kobe he loves going she provided me with videos and pictures of him and she text and stay in communication with me the whole time he was there I would definitely use her again”
“Madeline was a lifesaver when I had another pet sitter fall through last minute. She was conscientious, thoughtful, and such a pro. I got so many great updates and photos throughout the week, and Polly came back so happy and tired from all the fun they’d had together. I’d recommend Madeline 100x over!”
“Jeff & Jirapun were amazing sitters! They were incredibly attentive to our dogs’ needs and took such great care of them during their stay. We really appreciated all the photos and updates they sent, it was so reassuring to see how happy our pups were. They even took them on a little adventure to HEB, which we loved! Overall, they were fantastic sitters, and we could clearly tell our dogs were happy and well taken care of. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable sitters. 😊”
“Elizabeth is awesome! She was so sweet with our older dog and didn’t mind giving her medications. She sent us pictures and updates everyday, which we enjoyed and appreciated! Her patio and yard are very nice for dogs to enjoy. We will definitely book with Elizabeth again, if needed! 💕🐶🦴”
“Rosa was amazing with my little Quirlie! My dog can be a bit particular, and Rosa was able to accommodate to all of her needs. She sent me many pictures throughout the stay, and let me know if my dog pooped, had her walk, ate, etc. She gave my dog lots of love and attention, and it looked like my dog had a fantastic time and liked Rosa very much! I was never worried about my dog’s wellbeing or happiness, and I would definitely book Rosa again!”

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.

We completely trust her and will definitely continue booking with Lindsay. Highly recommend!

There are 3,425 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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.
