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 try to always tip in cash. For some reason I don't know I just feel like it's safer. But I won't let my cat stay with anybody else for Katie. Katie makes your animal feel like they are one of her family. My cat is very skittish and afraid of strangers. But not with Katie. She is absolutely the best! If you want the best than book with Katie!”
“Wayne was awesome and took such great care of my fur babe! He provided frequent pictures and updates that put me at ease while overseas! Will definitely rebook in the future. Thanks Wayne🙏🏻”
“This is our second time with Melissa and once again she did a fantastic job. We love how many videos and pictures we get of Pancake! We can tell Pancake loves going there and playing with her dogs and other new friends. Plus Melissa’s family entertains and plays with the dogs too, which is an added bonus- extra attention! Highly recommend!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Judy stayed with Piccolo (our 7 month old chihuahua) for 4 days while we were out of town. She sent us pictures regularly and kept us informed about how he was doing. He LOVED Judy and felt very comfortable with her the moment he walked into her house. Judy is very experienced with dogs and Went above and beyond our expectations. I would 100% recommend her. Thanks for the great service watching Piccolo!!!”
“Michael took care of my dog really well! She seemed really happy to be there and got alone well with the dogs. The responses were fast and updated me on my dog. I will book again when needed!”
“Rosie's love and care for our two dogs, Charlie and Peanut, was excellent. We boarded our ten-year-old special-needs dog (Peanut) and our fourteen-year-old senior dog (Charlie) for a few days with Rosie. She was able to administer medications and handle the different needs of each dog. We also greatly appreciate the help of Rosie's little dog, Bella and her daughter, Ruby. We have already booked a second boarding stay with Rosie due the confidence we have in her care for our doggies. Hooray!”
“Danielle was wonderful! She sent us pictures the whole time, as well as text updates. She gave our fur baby all of the love she needed while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Linda and her family took care of Sunny. They took care of him as if he was family, sent me plenty of updates while he was boarded. We’ll definitely be becoming a repeat customer.”
“I so appreciate Kim’s care of Mia. She communicates often. This was Mia’s first time with her, and Mia’s second time away from us. She worked with her to get Mia to eat. Slowly but surely Mia started to trust her. When I picked her up, she wanted belly rubs from Kim! That’s huge! I am so very appreciative that I’ve found someone to love on her too. We’ve found our person ❤️.”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Kent was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Chloe. Chloe is a difficult case because she can’t be alone because of her separation anxiety she can’t be with other dogs because of her reactivity. This makes her somewhat high maintenance. Kent was able to handle and he loved taking care of her! I’ll be back to ask Kent again to take of Chloe for the upcoming holidays. Kent is very communicative and and just an overall sweet, wonderful, caring and competent person.”
About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I work really close to my apartment. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.
“Amanda and her family were wonderful with my dog, Scout. Amanda was very communicative and responsive when planning Scouts stay. While we were away she sent lots of texts and it was clear that her family loves having dogs in their home. I loved knowing Scout was very cared for and loved on while we were gone.”
“We had the best experience leaving Scooby with Annika and Grant. They are kind, responsible and kept us very informed about how he was adjusting to a new setting. We will definitely contact them again!”
“New dog mom and first time Rover user and so so happy that my first connection was Beth! From the start of the conversation through booking she was so helpful and really put my mind at ease!! Canon loved his time with Beth and her family!! Beth provided daily updates and pictures which we loved seeing. Between Beth, her kids and her dog Rai, Canon got lots of love and attention!! And plenty of running around. Boy slept so good the night we picked him up. We would highly recommend Beth and would definitely use her again!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ellyn
Lynda was absolutely wonderful with Hazel! Hazel is a very anxious dog, so I was nervous about leaving her, but Lynda was incredibly patient and caring. Hazel warmed up to her and looked so comfortable and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would trust Lynda with Hazel again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
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.
Willow loved her stay at Justine & Brett’s! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We received regular updates and photos. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated the extra attention and love she gave. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Glen Ellyn on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 5,709 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Glen Ellyn. About 91% of Glen Ellyn sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
