About: I grew up with dogs, worked at PetSmart for many years, continued dog sitting professionally, and raised my own current dog, Gizmo, from 5 weeks old. I have gone through extensive training and I use that to help others with training issues when I can. I've been through various medical issues and found the appropriate care, including for a choking dog. I am an artist and like to photograph or draw they dogs I care for - have done separate pet portrait work not included with dog sitting. I like to try to really communicate with and understand each dog in their own circumstances. I have a dog park available just a short walk down the street. I have the ability to schedule working from home if needed. Typically, if you would like your dog to stay at my home, they will be sharing space with my dog, Gizmo. So please communicate if you need special consideration for alone time. I take walks or visit the dog park in the mornings. I typically work 10 to 6 Monday through Friday at an office, but can schedule days to work from home if a dog is staying and can not be left for a long period of time. My dog is Gizmo. He is okay with other dogs and will typically play a little outside and leave your dog to have their own space inside. You will need to discuss your situation with me if your dog needs alone time with me as I would need to address Gizmo's care under those circumstances. My house is on the smaller side, but the yard is fenced in and is reasonably sized. There is a dog door available to allow easy access to the yard. Dogs are allowed on couches and the bed in my home. I have one large crate if you would like your dog to use one. Each room can be closed off if separation is needed. If I am caring for a dog in another home, I need to take the same consideration for Gizmo. Please share your needs so we can adjust as necessary.
“Linda was great and she made it very easy. She even does pick ups, which was a great help. At Linda's suggestion, we did a meet and greet ahead of time which put us at ease. Cooper was very comfortable there. Linda was very sweet and provided periodic updates which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend Linda and hope to see her again soon!”
“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.”
“Melissa was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our Ollie with someone new and she put us at ease right away with her calming presence and kind nature. She sent us pictures and reassured us that he was in good hands. Thanks Melissa!”
“Frances was friendly, provided timely responses and updates, and my dog clearly had a great time staying with her. I would absolutely recommend having Francis watch your pets.”
“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🙏🏻”
“Lauren has taken care of my dog Kylo, three times and I couldn't be happier with her care. Lauren is an amazing dog sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving Kylo with her. Since Kylo is diabetic it is especially important that he stays on his feeding schedule and receives his insulin injections on time, and Lauren is incredibly responsible and attentive to his needs. She provides multiple updates throughout the day, including pictures, detailed messages and even Wooftrax updates so I know how long his walks are. Kylo is very comfortable with her, and she does such a wonderful job of making him feel safe and cared for. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a trustworthy and caring dog sitter for our baby. We truly appreciate everything Lauren does for our precious pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.”
“This is my 7 year old, Shih Tzu’s 3rd time with Sarai & she loves it over there. She’s always ready & available with a positive, welcoming attitude to Jazz & helps her feel comfortable Sarai’s communication/updates can sometime be a little off, but she eventually gets back to me in 24 hours or less. Jazz always comes back happy & healthy.”
“This is the third time we have used Jill and Nick and Niko had a great time! They have fabulous communication and send lots of pictures and Niko is well taken care of! We will definitely book with them again!”
“Mercedes always goes above and beyond, and I really appreciate her. The care that she takes with my dog and the attention to detail is awesome I love the pictures and the communications throughout the day. She’s always so great to work with.”
“Manuel was absolutely wonderful with Panch! He made sure he got his medication, took him on daily walks, and gave him extra snuggles during the storm. He kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind. When we picked Panch up, he was happy, freshly bathed, and clearly very well cared for. We’re so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave him! ❤️”
“Yoda came home very content. By the pictures Amanda and Anton sent he looked like he was getting spoiled and was happy about it. They did a wonderful job taking care of Yoda”
“Our dog Taco LOVES staying with Tyler and how wife (and their two dogs). They are incredibly accommodating and have gone the extra mile to make our pup feel like he's part of their family. Taco is always so excited to go to their home, and you can tell they've created a bond. I know our dog is being cared for AND that he's having a blast. We're so grateful for Tyler and his family! 100% recommend”
“My Bogey always acted like we were abandoning him at the shelter when we dropped him off in boarding environments, but after meeting Katherine and her crew, he was excited to explore with his new friends, and the photos that Katherine sent proved he was having a great time. They have a very lovely and dog friendly home and yard and you can tell they get to know the pets they care for. We will absolutely use them again.”
“She was amazing and so sweet with our two dogs. It was their first time being away from home and we were super nervous, but she sent us photos, videos, and updates everyday while we were gone. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Eniya is great! She was able to watch my pups at the last minute and she took excellent care of them. This isn’t the first time I have booked with her and it won’t be the last. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or cozy cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work in education, so I am available in the late afternoons and evenings during the week. My weekend availability is generally very open. :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat each animal like they’re my own: with love, patience, and respect. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving medication, going for long walks, or offering extra cuddles and playtime. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I’m happy to send updates and photos to keep you at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to provide consistency and care so your pet feels safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.
About: Dogs, cats, you name it - I love ‘em. As an animal lover and owner myself, I also have years of experience working in animal rescues caring for stray cats and dogs. This has been helpful with learning to be patient and able to adapt to each animals specific needs. However they need me to show up for them, I’m there. They need extensive cuddles? Count me in. They need me to just hangout and watch from a distance? Bummer, but I’ll respect their space. Whatever you need, I got you! 🩷 At the moment, I do work 8am-4pm. I work less than 10 minutes from home so often stop home for lunch. Other than work, I’m often home nightly and spend my nights/weekends relaxing with a book or working on whatever my newest crafting obsession is. I have two cats, Zoe and Ziti. They can be separated in the basement if need be. I offer a large crate if you prefer your dog to be crate trained. We have a large, fully fenced in yard that’s just begging to be a dogs playground!

Corey took fabulous care of Steven, provided excellent communication and amusing updates, paid close attention to instructions and even brushed Steve's poodle hair. From the moment we met him at the meet-and-greet we were confident Steve would be well cared for. You can put Corey on your trusted sitter list.
Holly and her family immediately welcomed Lincoln into their home and made sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Holly sent us lots of updates and made sure we knew how our boy was doing. Would highly recommend and Lincoln hopes he can visit again. He especially loved his playtime with Holly’s pups Layla and Piper☺️
Sandra was absolutely wonderful in taking care of Ellie! From our initial meeting to the final pickup, everything was seamless and stress-free. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and made sure Ellie was happy and comfortable throughout. We truly appreciate her care and attention. Thank you, Sandra—We will definitely use your service again!

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 Indian Head Park 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 Indian Head Park home-away-from-home, 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 Indian Head Park.
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.
You and your Indian Head Park 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 , 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 .
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.
