“Danielle and her family were wonderful with Blackie. He's a lab mix that can be a little anxious when he is away from us, but they treated Blackie like their own. If the pup is happy, we are happy and we plan to use Danielle again!”
About: Thanks for stopping by pet parents! My name is Allis and I have been an animal lover since I was a kid. I have been around dogs and cats my entire life. currently, my family has a Soft Coated wheaten terrier, he is a sweet guy and get along with all dogs. Over years I’ve helped take care of dogs like boarding at my house, feeding, playing, walking but overall treating them like a part of my family, pampering pets with love and care. My priority is to be with your pup and to make their stay comfortable. I own a house, it’s a safe, comfortable, secure and dog-proofed, I have a fenced yard where they will enjoy to play in, feeling free because your pet deserves the best! I can also take them for nice walks or to the near park to roam. I know how difficult and stressful it may be to be away from your fur babies, that’s what I like to send updates of how their doing along with pictures and videos to give pet parents a piece of mind. I look forward to providing loving care for your family!🐾💖 I am home for a majority of the day but some days I need to ran errands like for example: picking up groceries, doctor appointments which I’m sure your dog has experienced under your care but dogs are Never left alone for more than 3 hours. I have a flexible schedule that can accommodate them any day of the week even holidays and weekends. Our fully fenced in yard will keep your fur babies safe. I live in a safe neighborhood. They would be part of our family for their stay 🐶.

“Bonnie is absolutely the best. She was attentive to my puppy’s individual needs and communicated with me throughout the day which was so reassuring. My pup loved to spend time at her home. Her dogs are the most well behaved dogs I’ve ever met. Bonnie and her family love my puppy as one of their own, and this is the reason we will definitely go to her again and highly recommend her care. ♥️”
“Bach spent a quiet restful day with Emily and family. He was very happy and well cared for. Even though it was the first visit and only for a day, he seemed very happy and peaceful when we picked him up. It's always difficult to introduce a dog to a new "friend" and household but Emily made it easy and comfortable for Bach. Bach recommends her!”
“We were greeted warmly for the Meet & Greet by Sammy happily carrying a toy outside to welcome us into Sonia & Greg’s huge backyard. Wow! What a great yard for dogs to run & play in. We immediately felt comforted by Sonia’s kindness and her confidence and experience handling dogs. Our dog truly enjoyed wrestling & playing with Sammy who was exactly as Sonia described him to be. He was the perfect playmate. Thank you Sonia & Greg & Sammy for sending us photos and taking great care of our dog!”

This was our pup's first day visit with Valentina. He must have had a great time because he was so tired afterwards! He took a nap right away when he got home! Valentina seemed very knowledgeable about different breeds of dogs and their care and her home seemed well equipped for doggie daycare. We will be returning to visit Valentina again soon!
We booked with Eliza last minute on Thanksgiving day & that alone was such a lifesaver, & immediately put us at ease. She was so kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Her home felt warm, safe, and even her mom was there. You could immediately feel the genuine kindness and warmth they were offering, and we just knew they would be so sweet with our pups. I got photo updates throughout the visit. I’m so grateful Eliza accepted us last minute. She took such great care of our babies! Her communication is truly above and beyond. Every message and update made us feel reassured and so grateful. We would absolutely book with her again!
Terri couldn’t have been any more lovely! She was so helpful and accommodating for my senior beagle with separation anxiety. Exacerbated by his first lengthy road trip. She provided a calming presence for my dog and reassurance for me. You will not be disappointed if Terri is your pet’s caregiver!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Glendale Heights commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
