“Marija was amazing! She sent a lot of pictures and updates during Rookie’s entire stay. It was so nice knowing she was safe and getting a lot of love while we were gone!”
About: I’ve raised my mini-golden doodle of 8 years from when he was 2 months old. I’ve trained him to potty outside & all the main tricks. He’s well behaved & gentle. That’s why many of my friends have trusted me with caring for their pets. Whether that be checking in to feed them, walk them, play with them, or even lightly train them. My friends think I’m a dog whisperer. I’m currently doing a career change & study for my Illinois real estate license. My availability is completely open and flexible at this time. Let me know what your needs are! I care for dogs in a way that respects their routine, their boundaries, and keep things clean and in order. Whether it be from dog sitting overnight, I have a keen ear to puppies and when they’re up to something or know when they need to go out to potty in the middle of the night. Any other type of care will be simply respecting your home rules & how you like your pet to be handled or trained along the way.
“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.”
“Sasha's great !! Bella loved her and her 2 dogs, Chewy and Nacho. She certainly enjoyed herself because she was pooped when she got home. Will definitely come back if they'll have her :)”
“Eniya is such a great sitter for my dog! He always comes back happy and looks forward to seeing her when she arrives. Eniya is calming for him which is what he needs and she checks in with me daily giving updates on how he is doing in her care! She’s trustworthy and dependable! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Diana & Scott were wonderful! I felt super comfortable leaving my elderly dog with them and could tell she was very well taken care of! Also they sent great pictures! Would definitely recommend them!”
“Our two girls, Elizabeth and Scout, were cared for wonderfully by Suzanne. On our first meet and great prior to boarding, our girls took to Suzanne immediately, this was GREAT to see since we booked a sixteen night stay! Elizabeth needed to have oral medication twice daily and Suzanne was happy to make sure Elizabeth's needs were met. We were pleased with how well our girls got along with Suzanne's new puppy, Harley ?, and her fenced-in yard provided a safe outdoor space for our girls to hang out. Suzanne was great at sending photos and videos, to keep us updated on how our girls were doing throughout our trip. When we picked our dogs up, we found two very happy girls, that had a great time in Suzanne's care. We highly recommend Suzanne for your dog sitting or boarding needs, as she really seems to have a way with dogs.????”
“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“I was nervous to leave my pup with separation anxiety with another person, especially after my last experience leaving my pup with someone (he escaped!) but Chad sent frequent updates, photos, and videos and he and his wife seemed very caring of him. I would definitely book with them again.”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Katherine and her beautiful family! Oliver seemed quite at home there. We typically have angst when leaving Oliver with the big doggie daycare chains, especially for several days. A home environment where there are people who care, interact, play and walk our pup puts us much more at ease.”
“I really appreciate Rae taking my pup on such short notice. She was a great communicator throughout the process & made me feel comfortable about boarding my dog with her. Highly recommend & will look to book with Rae again in the future!”
“Simply THE Best. Zara is cared for so well, I’m surprised she comes home sometimes!!! 😍 Greatly appreciate the attention to detail, lots of Play time, Expert Dog training reccos and friendly prompt communication. We’ll be back next month! 💗”
“Marie was great with my 3 mo. old kitten 'Goose'. She was prompt and helpful with logistics and showed great enthusiasm for pet care and kindness toward Goose. Very happy with Maries' hosting Goose at home.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jackie took such amazing care of Aomi! She made sure Aomi was comfortable and happy every single day. I really appreciated the daily pictures and videos — it was so nice to see how well Aomi was doing while I was away. Communication was excellent; Jackie always kept me updated and responded quickly to any questions. Her home has a lovely, welcoming environment, and Aomi clearly felt right at home there. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — we’ll definitely book with Jackie again! 🐾”
“Incredible communication, and flexible when we had an emergency and had to leave ralphie for an extra night. Hope to board Ralph with Lorraine again soon! Thank you so much.”
“Jonelle is an absolute professional and very passionate about her work. She checked in regularly with a brief description of daily activities, and provided pics & videos of my pups during their extended stay. Response time was exceptional and was available every time I reached out. My dogs mean the world to me and I was able to enjoy my time away without worry of their care or well being. If you are looking for someone that’s dependable and efficient, Jonelle is definitely someone to consider without any hesitation. HIGHLY recommend. A simple thank you would not come close to expressing my gratitude.”
“Kuma had a great time with Connie and her sweet dog, JoJo! Connie was flexible with drop off/pick up, communicative, and sent photo and video updates- I’d definitely recommend Connie for all pet sitting needs!”
“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood Park
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!
Marie was an absolute angel. She truly cared for my 100lb baby like he was family. She is knowledgeable and really went out of her way to ensure that he was comfortable, engaged and exercised. Marie additionally worked w/ my pup on his leash skills and behavior. I 100% would recommend her for any pet, large or small, and all personality types. The world needs more animal lovers like her in the world. Thank you, Marie! You are truly the best☘️
I cannot recommend her enough! ❤️ I was honestly so nervous about leaving my sweet kitten, Gemma, since she’s still so young, but she completely put my mind at ease from the very beginning. She took such incredible care of Gemma and treated her like she was her own. She constantly sent me pictures, videos, and detailed updates about how Gemma’s day was going, which meant so much to me. I never had to wonder how she was doing because I always knew she was in the best hands. What impressed me the most was how quickly Gemma felt comfortable. Within the first hour, she was already playing, exploring, and acting like she was right at home! It was obvious that she felt safe, loved, and happy, and that speaks volumes about how caring and attentive she is. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care for your pet, communicate with you, and make your furry friend feel completely at home, look no further. I would trust her with Gemma again in a heartbeat, and she’ll absolutely be my go-to cat sitter for all future trips. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of my sweet baby! 🥹🐾💕
Ishaly was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved while in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
Camille and Joe are wonderful. They are sweet people who are conscientious of both humans and animals. The updates I receive are relevant and spunky, they are flexible to work with, their home is tidy and spacious, and the way my dog runs in and makes himself at home every time we drop him off shows me how comfortable they make him feel as a guest. Thank you, Joe and Camille!
Yolanda was incredibly communicative, reliable, and took wonderful care of Atlas. He had such a great stay! She even surprised us with a thoughtful goodie bag and an adorable photo of Atlas when we picked him up. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Yolanda, and we'll definitely book with her again!
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.
I had the best experience with Carla and her roommate! They were so attentive to my baby Dulce for a 3 day and 3 night boarding and treated her with their utmost love and care. I highly recommend letting them take care of your furbabies and will definitely be booking again! ❤️🙏
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. Things could not have gone smoother. I met with her in advance of the booking. She clearly loves dogs and taking care of them. My dog is very active and she has a nice backyard for the dogs to run and play. She then had to coordinate with my son on the pickup as I was still out of town. She was very accommodating and helpful with both of us. Will 100% use again!

There are 5,560 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elmwood Park. About 91% of Elmwood Park sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 IL 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.
