“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Our Gus has such a wonderful time with Ashley! He was so well cared for and I can tell he was shown so much love from Ashley and her family. Ashley is very attentive to detail by asking extensive questions to ensure Gus’s daily routine isn’t disrupted. She sent us pictures and videos daily of our Gussy and he was smiling and so happy in all of them! She sent a picture of inventory and labeled all of Gus’s items to avoids confusion. It was such a wonderful seamless experience. We will be booking with Ashley again!”

“We had a fantastic experience when we left our 2 y/o Golden Retriever with Kelly and Tariq for a long holiday weekend. Before the visit, Kelly was very thorough with inquiring about care instructions and routines. During the stay, they provided an an environment that was so much more than merely pet-sitting; they provided a real "home" experience with a large clean house, spacious yard, and even kids to give belly rubs. In addition, we also really appreciated all of the text and picture updates throughout the weekend as well. Highly recommend.”
“Kimberly was kind and truly cared for our dogs. In every photo she sent, our pups looked relaxed and happy. It was our first time leaving them with someone else, so we were quite worried — but all our concerns disappeared after just one day. We’re definitely planning to leave our dogs with Kimberly again. Highly recommended!”
“I recommend Britanny a million times. From drop off to pickup she was very communicative sending pictures almost every day. She babied him and showed him love. My pup couldn’t have been in better hands. A+++ experience. Thank you Britanny and family.”
About: I bring patience, genuine love, and experience to every pet I care for. Whether it’s a lively puppy needing basic training and socialization or a senior pet requiring gentle care and medication, I adapt my approach to fit their unique needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, reinforcing commands like sit and stay, and providing extra cuddles or calm companionship when needed. What truly sets me apart is my dedication to communication—I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel connected and confident. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I treat every animal like part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or cozy evenings with a furry friend, I structure my day to make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’m dependable, flexible, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and at home—whether it’s just for a day or a whole week. In your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow all feeding, potty, and playtime instructions closely and give plenty of love, attention, and gentle care. I make sure your pet feels safe, whether that means playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping things calm and quiet.
“I had to leave my dog to attend my son’s wedding. Terri was the first person that took care of my dog who as a puppy had anxiety. She can be afraid of other dogs so I didn’t want to leave her where that might make her anxious. Terri was perfect! She took her on lots of walks and played fetch with her which are her favorite things to do. When I came to pick her up, my dog was happy to see me but didn’t appear to be anxious to leave Terri. Finding Terri has opened up the possibility of us actually taking a vacation and not being worried.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ellyn
Justine and Brett welcomed our dog into their home and treated her with incredible care and attention. Our dog loves kids and to be in the mix of everything and everyone - this was the happiest and most relaxed she’s ever been going or coming back while we’ve been away. Excellent communication at every step - we could really tell that they love to care for dogs! We hope Munro can stay with them again!
Natalie was great with our dog while we were out of town. He got along great with her cats and we got plenty of pictures while we were gone of him living his best life looking relaxed and happy. We’d definitely book with Natalie again if she’s available next time we’re traveling!
Jean and Al were wonderful pet sitters for Gus and Stella during our 10-day vacation. We felt completely at ease knowing they were being cared for so well. Gus is a special needs dog and needs extra attention, including medication, and Jean and Al went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and had everything he needed. They also sent us photos of both dogs every day, which we really appreciated. It was obvious from the pictures that Gus and Stella were relaxed, happy, and getting plenty of love from Jean, Al, and their family. When we picked them up, both dogs seemed happy and completely comfortable, which told us everything we needed to know. We’re very grateful for the care they gave Gus and Stella and would absolutely use them again the next time we travel.
Such a lovely family who warmly embrace all dogs and their needs. My dog - Clipper - had a wonderful couple of nights there. They were in touch with cute photos and updates and were extremely gracious and welcomed Clipper for an extra night when my flight home was cancelled. I’ll definitely rebook with Amanda and Anton!
Rachel is amazing!! She kept in touch with us throughout the stay which I really appreciated it, she sent photos and in every photo Stella looked so happy and I knew she was having a blast. Will definitely book with Rachel again. Thank you so much for taking care of our Stella girl💓
Edgar helped us out last minute. He communicated during the entire two night stay, provided lots of pictures and updates and was patient and understanding with our dog since this was the first time we had left him with someone else. We appreciated everything he did for our dog and can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Edgar and his kids for loving our dog while we were gone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Glen Ellyn on Rover is $40 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,440 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Glen Ellyn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn.
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 Glen Ellyn 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.
