“Brandi is AMAZING!! She has training and years of experience with dogs. She is gentle and kind, and 100% trustworthy. She is so fun, and sent updates everyday while we were on vacation. I can’t say enough about Brandi. We were so thankful that she loved our pup while we were out of town.”
“I need help watching my dog Henry after a family emergency needed me to fly out of state on short notice. Leora was very quick to reply and accept my request to booking. She is very flexible with pick-up and drop off times! The thing that really stood out is Leora went above and beyond to take care of Henry. He had gotten a bee sting a few days before being watched. She gave him his medicine and kept the sting clean! I really appreciated the help, and will certainly be booking with Leora again! If you're looking for a great sitter, look no further!”
“Bella’s stay with Joey and Shawn was great! She had toys to play around with and another puppy and dog she got along well with. We picked her up happy. They walked her in the neighborhood and their house was clean and safe. I have another booking scheduled with them. Just thankful as they treat her well and that’s matters big to us.”
“Marilyn was amazing!! When Nikko first met her, he instantly fell in love with her. She was great with communication and providing picture updates of him. He was spoiled with walks and play time. Highly recommend her!”
“It was our first time using a dog sitter (so that was nerve wracking enough) but the process was such a breeze. We went with Christy due to her experience and stellar reviews and both did not disappoint! Christy was great with our puppy - she was in constant communication with us, sent us videos and pictures without asking and even accommodated our late arrival into town by dropping off our puppy at OUR home. We would definitely request her service again for any future needs! PS - extra kudos for having a fenced in yard (took away so many worries for our 7 month old puppy) and our little guy got along wonderfully with her dog Cooper (our guy had a friend to play with the whole weekend!!)”
“Larry loves spending time with his new uncle Nick! With a fantastic east side location, large fenced yard, and a great way with animals, Nick has been the ideal find for my timid, young dog. I could not recommend him more.”
“Nothing but great things to say about Kara & Ben. They took such great care of my two dogs while I was away for the weekend. I am not from the area and this was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a little anxious. Both Kara and Ben provided pictures and reassurance that they were being well cared for. I am very appreciative! 10/10 recommend 😊”
“Hannah is wonderful! Our Toby is typically very nervous/anxious with new people but he was right at home with Hannah. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout Toby’s time with her. We will definitely book with Hannah when we are back in the area!”
“Xao was AMAZING?!! She took care of my Skyy extremely well!! I was so pleased with all the pics and videos I rec'd bc they showed my fur baby so happy! It was an awesome plus she had small fur babies as well bc now they are friends?! The attention Skyy rec'd was phenomenal and again the special care displayed was appreciated and EVERYTIME I travel without Skyy I know she will be in the best care with XAO?...THANK YOU Rover for having a true fur baby professional on your site☺️...”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was very young. I’ve watched friends pets when they go out of town and I currently have my own cats and a dog! I’m currently only working part time and from home, so I will have plenty of time to spoil your pups with all the love and attention they deserve! I have a fenced in yard! I also have a friendly pup that would love to keep yours company and play and walk with! <3
About: I'm a long term pet owner with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently own a 16 year old dog and two cats. I also have experience caring for large dogs and birds. I'd love to be able to take care of your pets and show them all the care and attention they deserve. I'm free to care for pets on weekends and during the week.

I provide minimum daily walks for dogs and am happy to do more upon request.
“Randee was great with Louie! We will not hesitate to have Louie stay with Randee again. Randee was very accommodating and understanding when we had to adjust some drop off and arrival times.”
“Eleanor loved staying with Laurie again. She takes wonderful care of dogs and sends pictures/updates! I can tell that she really cares about the animals when they are staying with her and wants them to be so comfortable…Thank you again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elmhurst home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Elmhurst.
<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.
You and your Elmhurst sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
