“Justine and Brett are amazing and if Tucker could speak, I imagine he’d share the same sentiment. They always make Tucker feel like he’s part of the family and makes us feel so much less guilty for having to leave him!”
“Michelle and Matthew took such great care of our 2 dogs - we are so grateful! We received pictures and updates every day, which we very much appreciated. Our dogs got walks and exercise and lots of love! This was our first time finding care through the Rover app, and we were so relieved to find such a great family to care for our dogs. Thank you Michelle and Matthew!!”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Valentina takes such great care of my dog Sonny while we're gone, he always comes back home happy and relaxed which lets me know he has a good time with her! She is our go to sitter whenever we have to leave town because we trust her to take great care of our dog and is very easy to communicate with, I highly recommend Valentina!”
“Kaya has stayed here a couple times and all went well. She enjoyed her stay, interacting with other dogs, and Lynda's nice back yard. Regular updates with video were great. We felt Kaya was very safe in Lynda's care. Lynda is very organized making drop offs and pick ups very easy.”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for our Charlie! She sent numerous videos, photos and updates throughout the stay! She helped our nervous boy feel right at home. We would absolutely recommend her!”
“Kent was amazing with our Susie! He has so much compassion and love to give. He only takes one dog at a time so he can give all his attention to her. I highly recommend him!”
“Linda and her family were phenomenal. I got updated pictures and feedback everyday we were gone for vacation, Linda was so understanding when last minute my dog got an ear infection and ended up needing medication before we left, and when we picked her up she was walked and medicated for the evening. Linda was so kind, VERY quick with responding and reassurance, and organized. This was my first experience with Rover. Right away I knew Linda would be trustworthy and good with my pup. She had a fenced in yard where the dogs would chase each other and get out energy Thank you Linda and family for taking such great care of Luna! Hopefully she’ll see you guys and Daisy soon!”
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”
About: I love dogs and have been working with them for 11 years. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years and love caring for other animals while their family is away. I am a stay at home mom so I prefer to dog sit in my own home I work at an animal hospital in Wheaton, IL and I used to work at a doggie daycare so I know all about dog behavior and how to handle/control them. I also have a certificate in Dog CPR and a certificate for Veterinary Assistant work. I am comfortable with all breeds and dogs of all sizes. I dog sit frequently for a family with 3 dogs and 2 cats! I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. If you want a trustworthy dog sitter/walker who loves working with animals, you found her! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible!! I can do dog walks throughout the day and I can dog sit in my own home since I am home with my kids all day! I have a nice home with a huge fully fenced in yard to run around in. I do own a cat and I have 3 young kids who love playing with dogs!
About: Hello my name is Yesica, you can call me Yesi. I am down to earth, friendly, and caring. I am soft spoken and polite, but can be stern when needed. I am a reliable person who is willing to go above and beyond what is asked of me and what needs to be done. I have been a dog owner since I was in 4th grade but animals have always been a great passion to me. I currently have a Chihuahua and Shih Tzu of my own. They are my whole heart, I see them as family and I hope to care for yours like I care for mine. I want to provide your pet with the most comfortable experience I can. I have helped with dogs from birthing of puppies to caring of senior dogs. I have more experience with small dogs and other small animals but I love to work with larger dogs as well. I am a big believer of proper animal care. An animals well being is the greatest concern I have while watching it. Animals are family, they deserve the best care we can provide. I am always open for constructive criticism, and welcome you to address any issues you may have. I work a full-time job Monday through Fridays 8:45 to 6. But after work I am able to give your companions my full attention. I do step away at times on weekends to complete some of my life tasks but I do not stay away for long. I am a big believer of attending to a pets needs to the way they require. I prefer sitting pets at their homes to stress them out the least possible and keep part of their routine. But I am also very accommodating and can make my home feel welcoming.
“Darrilynn is down-to-earth, fun, and caring. She truly loves animals and welcomes all dogs as members of her family. She loved my little girl and took great care of her. This was the first time I left my dog with a sitter and I wasn't sure about doing so. But I have no worries leaving my dog with Darrilynn again; I have already booked my next appointment!”
“Excellent and attentive service! We really appreciate the time and care Rosie showed our dog. She made sure to keep us informed and shared pictures of his stay. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Kelly and Tariq were awesome! I received regular updates which put me at ease since this was the longest I had left my pup with anyone. Definitely will book with them again.”
“Our dog loved her stay with Tyler and family! They were so welcoming and Brady had a great space to run and make friends!! She was so well cared for and was treated like part of the family! We will definitely rebook when we are visiting Chicago!”
“John took good care of both of my dogs! He was very communicative and cared for them deeply—they didn't want to leave when I picked them up! We will definitely bring our dogs back to John when the opportunity arises!”
“Kira was absolutely amazing with my dog. Thanks to her quick thinking, my dog was able to throw up the toy he accidentally swallowed. She went above and beyond by driving him to the emergency vet and staying to make sure he was okay. I’m so grateful for her care and compassion.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ellyn
Amanda and Anton were great with Leo, and they accommodated a last minute request which I really appreciated. They sent pictures to keep us updated. At pick up time, Leo wanted to go back in the house which told me that even though this was his first time with them, he felt very comfortable and enjoyed his time with Amanda and Anton. Highly recommend!
I am so happy to have found Lynda. She took great care of Fontaine while I was on vacation. I had made other plans for him then I found out that he had diabetes. I was gone for 11 days and I was so glad to find someone who was comfortable giving Fontaine his shots. I also appreciate that Lynda wanted to meet Fontaine before my trip. It let me know that she was serious and wanted to make sure that it was a good match. I would highly recommend Lynda. She is definitely a dog lover and will care for your pet as if they were her own.
Jean and Al were so great. They treated our girl like she was their own. We could tell how happy and comfortable she was with the pictures Jean sent and even when we picked her up as she was happy to keep hanging out and play while we talked whereas with a lot of other sitters, she’s been happy to go home asap.
Thrudy & her boys took wonderful care of Poppy! She kept us updated with photos of walks at a local park and the lake. Poppy seemed at ease from the start. It was obvious that her kids also love dogs. Knowing our pup was in good care gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!
We had such a great experience with Edgar watching Koa over Labor Day weekend! Koa seemed right at home from the start—he ate well, got lots of playtime with Edgar’s kids and their dog London, and seemed so happy and comfortable when we picked him up. Edgar was incredibly thoughtful about the whole process and even set up a meet-and-greet beforehand so Koa and London could get to know each other and so we could see the space and feel comfortable leaving Koa there. He was kind, communicative, and genuinely caring, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Edgar watch Koa 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!
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💓

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Glen Ellyn can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glen Ellyn. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
