“Michelle was absolutely fantastic - one of the best Rover's we've ever worked with. She was very responsive and flexible with our timings, sent numerous pictures throughout the day, and took excellent care of our Millie. Millie had a great time at her place and left happy - will definitely be comfortable leaving Millie with Michelle and her family again!”

“Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!”

About: I grew up with animals around me at all times! I’ve cared for animals at all stages of their lives from 0-15. I have also cared for multiple animals at once. I am currently working part time so your pet will be well taken care of! I am available for boarding everyday of the week and can board for multiple nights in a row. Doggy daycare can also be everyday! Providing top notch care is always my first priority! I have two other animals including a turtle and rabbit but they are both caged and will not interact with your pet. Dogs are allowed on furniture and will have plenty of room to roam. Walk duration and frequency can change depending on the pet’s needs.

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.

About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.

About: Hello pet parents! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I gained a deep lifelong respect for animal care by raising a variety of several pets. This lifelong background means your beloved pup isn't just getting a sitter—they are staying with a highly experienced caretaker who understands animal behavior and needs. I also have 2 grand-pups who are adorable and who I love, have stayed with me at length, boarded and lived with me. I provide a fun, loving, and completely stress-free environment specifically tailored for small to medium-sized dogs. Because I am home full-time, and typically always available, your pup will enjoy constant companionship, interactive playtime, walks to the park, and frequent potty breaks in the fenced in yard, without ever being left alone. I currently work from home and have the availability at home full-time, meaning your dog will enjoy constant companionship. I structure our days around frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, interactive backyard playtime, and relaxing afternoon naps. Because I don't work away from home, your pup will never be left unsupervised. Your dog will be staying in a spacious, pet-friendly 4-bedroom home designed for comfort. They will have access to a fully fenced backyard perfect for zoomies, playing fetch, plus a living room overflowing with fun toys to keep them happily entertained. Whether they prefer chasing balls outside or curling up on a cozy couch for belly rubs, my home is their ultimate home-away-from-home!

She warmed right up to him and I was grateful he was thoughtful enough to swing by and grab her day of vs us having to take her to him. We would def recommend Aaron and are looking forward to using him in the future!”

About: Hi, I’m Robert! I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who believes every pet deserves patience, attention, and love. As someone who is vegan and deeply passionate about animal welfare, I have a strong appreciation for the bond people share with their pets. What sets me apart is my compassion, responsibility, and commitment to providing a safe and comfortable environment for every animal in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel happy and secure while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and energy levels, including playful puppies, adult pets, and senior animals who may need extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy having animals around and making time for their needs. I’m organized and responsible, so I can provide consistent care through walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions to help their pets feel comfortable and cared for while they’re away. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I look forward to as part of my day rather than just a responsibility. I believe safety and trust are the foundation of good pet care. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and secure environment. I will follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, medications (if applicable), and any special needs their pet may have. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable through patience, attention, playtime, and companionship. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will treat their home with the same respect I would want for my own. My goal is to give both pets and owners peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving safe, responsible, and loving care.

“Laura is absolutely amazing! She’s so friendly and welcoming, and my partner and I instantly felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. She invited us into her home, and our pup was immediately curious and happy to be there. Laura took the time to explain how she cares for dogs and kept us updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. When we picked him up, he was tired and happy—a sure sign he had an awesome time! We can’t recommend Laura enough.”

Michelle has been absolutely wonderful in every way! This is the second time we have booked daycare for Opie with her (4 days in total), and we could not be happier. Communication has been very fast and thorough. Opie looks so happy and comfortable with Michelle and her family in all of the picture updates we get throughout the day. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future :)

Robert was very welcoming, patient, and helpful for both me and my dog, Maya, as this was our first booking ever! He took his time to let her get comfortable and introduce her with the other pups he had in house. Allowed me to be just as comfortable leaving her for the day! Came back to pick up one happy and VERY tuckered out pup! Loved the pictures! Looked like we both had a great experience booking with Robert!🐶 We will be scheduling again soon!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Hillside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Hillside is $32 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $32 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,766 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hillside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Hillside 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.

As of October 2026, there are 3,766 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of IL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,766 sitters in Hillside, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
