About: Hi, my name is Crystal. My family consists of my husband, my 6 year old, and our cat and dog! I have pet sitted plenty of times where i would go to the persons house to feed, let out, and water dogs and cats. I have also sitted puppies at my house for a max of 3 days. But will be happy to board for even up to a month! I do not care what age your dog or cats are I love all! I have a crate to bring out if need be and a fenced in back yard. If you have any questions of any kind please message me! Im currently working from home so I will have no problem caring for your fur baby's. If I'm every away from home, it's usually a quick run to the store or my family will be home while I'm out. I do have a recently built fenced in back yard. No holes or cracks or any chance or pets escaping. Ofcourse cats will be kept inside. I also do have an extra large crate that I can bring out if pets are used to or trained to be in the crate at night.
“Would highly reccomend this sitter! She took great care of our pups while we were visiting the area and was extremely sweet. She goes above to beyond to provide the best care. I could truly tell they were having a blast with her because they came back sooo tired. My girl loved playing with kida. We even got a cute Polaroid picture and updates as soon as they were dropped off. Stephanie accommodated us through a last minute booking and was very responsive. Great sitter!”
“Anthony was great! Quick response to daycare request and kept me updated with videos and pictures of Max. Max looked very happy and was nice and pooped when we got home! Definitely recommend!”
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
About: Our dog of 14 years passed in 2024 and our dog of 2 years passed Dec 2025. We arent ready for a permanent new fur baby, but our hearts long to love on yours! Our kids love to run around in the backyard to wear your rambunctious puppies out! We also have experience in administering medications to animals and being gentle to older animals. I am a stay at home mom! Pet care easily fits into my day and nights. I am free to care for pee training puppies as well as needy older dogs. Animals have free reign of our house as we love them to snuggle on the couch with us! However, if your rules and training requires otherwise, we respect and honor that!
“Hey everyone, Denise is the pet sitter you want for your pet babies! My dog Daisy was so excited to go to her home each day. Before we even got the truck stopped she would jump down to the floorboard ready to get out! Denise is so accommodating and we just felt safe leaving Daisy with her. You won’t be disappointed!”
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
“Yesenia is such an incredible sitter! We have been sending our pup to her for a little over a year and each time my pup is even more excited to go. She is such a great care taker and was super flexible with us for day care scheduling when our work schedules shifted. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person for their furry friend!”
“Kalena and her other dog crew were fantastic. Watson is a bit older, this year he will be 11. He gets lots of walks at home but this gives him other dogs to interact with more to break up his routine. We appreciate your attention and care of him.”
“Danielle was great with my senior Maltipoo. She did provide me with text messages and pictures of how Bela was doing. She was very reassuring that Bela would be fine. I felt very comfortable with her and her fur baby Jasmine who by the way was very calm and polite with Bela their new house guest. I will definitely continue to book with Danielle when she is available. Love the fact that she works out of her home, which is extremely clean, has a fenced big yard and when you walk into her home it has a warm welcoming feel. She only takes in one client at a time and this is what I wanted so my baby wouldn't be overwhelmed by too many other pets around. Oh, and a big plus is there are no children in her home. Thanks again Danielle for being there when we needed you.”
“Super sweet and accommodating with my dog. I had an unexpected trip to the ER and she came over to pick up my dog and watch her. She also has adorable pups that played with my dog and she always came back tired and ready to crash”
“We had a fantastic first experience! From the start, she was attentive and asked great questions to fully understand Rudy's needs. The constant updates with photos and videos made my day and gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
About: I'm such an animal lover. Grew up with dogs, horses, cats and many different animals. I have a very sweet 7 years old fixed male Goldendoodle and a 15 years old male Pug who would love to make some new friends! I live in a nice size house with a locked fenced backyard. Your dog/s will feel like he/she is at home here. They are allowed on the couch to rest and I have a big nice Kuranda bed and couch they can lay on. Plenty of dog toys and chews here. I let dogs out in a fenced yard very often. Love to take them out for walks too! I'm always at home and I will be very communicative via texts I will send pictures to the owners daily so they know their babies are happy and safe :) I'm always at home. I work short hours from 5-8pm. They will go outside to potty often. Every 2-3 hours. A big bowl of filtered water is always provided here. I have a fenced yard and got a big play pen crate if your dog prefers to be crated. I will feed am/pm and even noon if they eat 3x a day.
“Frances was fantastic! She kept us in the loop about how our beloved puppy was doing all day while in daycare. We appreciate the amount of activity she initiated, and the fact that her dogs made great friends to help calm our dog. Would definitely recommend!”
“Incredible doggy daycare! Amanda is so welcoming and our puppy had the most amazing time with her family; coming home and sleeping for the remainder of the evening once we picked him up. I will definitely be using her help again and recommend her to any family looking for a loving place to leave your pup.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,679 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Joliet. 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 Joliet 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 TX 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 1,679 sitters in Joliet, 83% 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.
