“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”
“Our pup had the best time with Kimberly! She went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable while we were out of town. She is an excellent communicator and kept in touch with us to let us know how our dog was doing. We really appreciated it! Thanks, again!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we could not have been happier with Jan. She genuinely cared for Sosa and made him feel loved and cared for while he stayed with her. We would happily use Jan's services again!”
“My first sit with Beryl and my pup and I couldn’t be happier! She was flexible, kind and energetic, and sent pictures regularly. Communication was great and Dory came home happy. 😊”
“Jasmine was amazing to work with. We have an elderly dog who needs gentle care and Jasmine definitely provided that. We received frequent updates and pictures which put us at ease knowing our dog was having a great time and in caring hands. We highly recommend Jasmine for your pet care needs!”
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
“Camille and her husband were definitely the right choice for my Remy. Remy has several special needs. Camille and her husband were more than willing to accommodate and did great with them all! Remy generally has some serious stranger danger, but warmed up to them both very quickly. You can just tell they are good caretakers and dog people. Their dog Rosie was also very sweet and friendly to both me and Remy. I received several pictures and the communication was great while I was away. They are located a little far from downtown but definitely worth the trip. I will be booking with Camille again!”
“Another fun stay! Jenny went crazy happy when we arrived. So much attention. This is definitely like a second home for her. Thanks Doug & Deb and family!”
“Ruben is great with our dog. Whenever we need a dog sitter, we are always comfortable with leaving Kodak with Ruben. He takes very good care of our furry animal. Kodak is always excited to see Ruben and have play dates with the other dogs.”
“I can't express how happy I was with the care Piper received from Angelica during her stay. Thank you, and we will definitely use her service again. Piper was treated like one of her fur babies. Thanks again.”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Jessica couldn’t be any sweeter. We have a 12 year old Great Dane, and certainly no longer an easy dog to take care of (although sweet!) Jessica went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy. So much so he didn’t want to leave!!! Not enough good things to say about Jessica, her husband, or Capone. Highly recommended 😍”
“Remi went on so many adventures and had so much fun! I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home with me. I already booked another stay and will 100% use in the future to come! Thanks for taking care of my baby moose!”
“Ian was a great host for our pup. We got regular updates and she seemed happy and safe the whole time. I think she missed her doggo friends when she came home! Would certainly book again.”
“Tucker has the best time when he stays with Jeanette and Charles. Long walks and lots of fun playing in their large fenced-in yard. They send plenty of fun pictures and videos!”
“Amazing experience, this was my first time using rover and Kaira made the experience 10 times better. Very attentive, communicated thoroughly and provide pictures to keep me at ease. Will definitely be booking again”

Yuliya was wonderful with my pups! She’s a phenomenal communicator and kept me updated with plenty of pictures while I was traveling. From the jump, it was easy to see that my boys were super comfortable with her and made themselves at home in lovely space. Thanks again, Yuliya!
Anette was so kind and wonderful. She kept me updated daily with photos and my dogs were so well taken care of while boarding! 10/10 would recommend her. One of my senior dogs has some health issues but Anette skillfully administered her daily medications, and kept me updated. I will definitely reach out again to rebook pet boarding with Anette in the future.
Luciano & Luciene S kept my 2 boston terriers, male 3 years and female 2 years, and I will definitely use them again. Took my doggos on several long walks (since my doggos like to sniff and mark a lot and look for squirrels) and sent me pictures daily. Doggos looked very happy in all the pics and were well kept when I picked them up. I also liked that they had bowls and toys so I didn't need to bring those. I highly recommend.
Cindy was amazing! She was very patient with me and my doggies! 4 dogs isn’t easy to handle but she was very understanding. I provided as much information as possible as well as videos of their routine to make it easy on Cindy and she helped me figure out the logistics in terms of how I would be able to send her the information since files were too large for average text. She also provided frequent updates and pictures which made me feel at ease! My very anxious dog wasn’t anxious when picking her up. I’m definitely planning on booking with her again soon for a much longer stay.
I’ve used Rob several times over the past couple of years to watch my two pups, and I couldn’t be happier with his care. He’s always great at communicating and keeps me updated, and my dogs always come home happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands while I’m away. Thanks so much, Rob!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Elmwood Park sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Elmwood Park landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elmwood Park 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 Elmwood Park.
Tip: 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 Elmwood Park 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 IL 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.
