“Kasia accommodated my very last minute day-of request to watch my dog who is having really bad separation anxiety. She was so kind, friendly, and upbeat, and I was able to go to work without worrying.”
“Allis and her family were great with my doodle who has separation anxiety. My dog gets so excited when she sees Allis at drop off and she settles quickly at her house. Great communication and updates with photos and videos of my girl.”
“Dave was awesome with our Coco. As soon as we meet Dave we knew Coco would be in good hands. He has great communication and send pictures throughout his stay. Coco came home super tired. That was a good sign that he had a fun day with Dave. We will be repeating with Dave for daycare and boarding needs. Thanks Dave.”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I offer calm, attentive, one-on-one boarding in a clean and peaceful home. As a former groomer, I’m skilled in handling anxious, shy, or energetic dogs, and I’m confident in brushing, basic hygiene care, and reading canine body language. I currently have one friendly Shiba Inu at home, and I only host one client at a time—ensuring your dog receives my full attention and a safe, low-stress environment. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, slow walks, or quiet company, I adjust my care based on their routine and comfort level. Feel free to send me a message—I'd love to learn about your dog and how I can make their stay feel like home. Your dog’s care is naturally built into my daily routine. We start the morning with a refreshing walk, breakfast, and some calm bonding time. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy structured potty breaks, enrichment games, and plenty of supervised relaxation. You will receive updates during these key moments—morning, afternoon, and evening—so you’ll always know how your dog is settling in. I stay closely aligned with your dog’s normal schedule to reduce stress and help them feel at home quickly. Consistency, supervision, and comfort are always my priorities. I provide full-time supervision when boarding, maintain a clean living space, and follow each dog’s feeding, medication, and potty schedule exactly as instructed. Dogs are never left unsupervised around my Shiba Inu, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing.

“Oliwia so great with Nola. She was able to accommodate us and help me while I attended work. There was regular communication. Thank you and we will be sure bring Nola back sometime!”

“Maricela took care of Toby for 4 days and she was great! Toby was very happy and excited to greet Maricela every morning. Maricela took Toby for a walk every day and she sent some great pictures too. Thank you for taking good care of Toby. I would recommend Maricela for good, home care.”
“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.

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 Itasca 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,846 sitters in Itasca, 87% 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 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. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
