About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years, and my 15-year-old Pomeranian is a very special part of our family. He has been with us for so long that I honestly can’t imagine our home without him. I’m also a mom of three, so we have a busy but loving family home where pets are very much part of everyday life. My kids love dogs, and we’re used to having a furry member of the family around. Having a senior dog has taught me to be patient and pay attention to the little things. I know that older dogs sometimes need a little more rest, more frequent potty breaks, and extra care and attention. We also travel to Egypt and Serbia every year, and my Pomeranian has flown overseas with me many times. I know how much work it can be to travel with a dog, and I also know how hard it is to leave them behind. That’s actually one of the reasons I decided to offer boarding. I’ve had to leave my own dog with people I trusted, and even then, I knew he acted differently because I wasn’t there. I remember wondering if he was okay, if he was comfortable, and if someone was giving him the same attention I would. So when your dog stays with me, I want you to feel comfortable too. I’ll get to know your dog’s routine, personality, feeding schedule and what makes them happy and comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with pictures so you don’t have to wonder how they’re doing. We have a fenced backyard, and I’ll take dogs for daily walks on the beautiful 2-mile path around Stellwagen Farm, which is only a few minutes from our home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone. To me, they’re not just a booking or another dog staying at my house. They’re someone’s family — just like my Pomeranian is part of mine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and am available pretty much all the time, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I provide a safe, loving home with a fenced backyard,and a finished basement. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m available most of the time and can give your dog lots of attention throughout the day. I also have a senior Pomeranian, so I understand the importance of patience and making sure every dog feels comfortable.
“Magda is our favorite Rover sitter. I feel that she treats our little pup as her own. I am always very comfortable leaving my dog with her and not having to worry at all.”
“Leaving our senior and high maintenance English Bulldog with Kim was a great experience! Kim was very open to answering any and all questions within an extremely timely manner. She took care of our dog, including medication management, without any issues. She updated us regularly, including pictures, to ease our minds about the happenings of our beloved pet. Thanks for everything, Kim!”
“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”
“Julie C is amazing! Hampton loves spending his vacation with her and her family, and we feel great knowing he is loved and happy through her pictures and updates she she sends daily. Wonderful sitter and family. Thank you again, Julie!”
“Very pleased with the care of my Bentley, and, would definitely use Enas again!!! Enas is very friendly, flexible, and, definitely met my needs , for the care of my puppy!!! I definitely felt at ease, being away from my puppy!!! Loved the care and loving attention her daughters paid to my puppy!!!”
“Christie was wonderful ! She watched my dog while I went out of town and always kept me updated, sent me pictures of their activities, and always informed me of his stay. I’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever I go out of town again.”
“Viktoria and her husband did an amazing job with our anxious hound! She sent daily updates and pictures, and her communication was phenomenal. He was definitely spoiled when with her, and it really brought comfort to us while we were away to know he was in such good hands. He went on multiple walks and she even let him sleep with them when he jumped into their bed in the middle of the night! She will absolutely be our first choice for dog sitting in the future. I highly recommend her and couldn’t be more pleased with her services.”
“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“Laina and her husband were great with Laszlo. They were extremely conscientious about my significant pet parent worries. I will admit I can be over the top. Lol! 😂 But Laina took it all in stride. Laszlo cried when Laina and her husband walked away from our vehicle. He also loves our vet and cries when she leaves the room. He only cries for people he really likes. I was very happy about everything.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Homer Glen
Amy took care of our two dogs so well for almost a week. We ended up not being able to pick the pups up for an extra night and Amy was very accommodating! She kept us updated with photos of them throughout the day. I admire how well she handled our pups, without any complaints, even though they can be a lot to handle at times. I will definitely rebook her in the future.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Homer Glen 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 Homer Glen.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Homer Glen sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.
