“We continue to feel so so lucky to have Amberley care for our pup when we have to be away. She is communicative, kind and so considerate. We know Wrigley is in wonderful care and gets great exercise, plenty of love and time and space to play. 💙”
“Justine and Brett are amazing and if Tucker could speak, I imagine he’d share the same sentiment. They always make Tucker feel like he’s part of the family and makes us feel so much less guilty for having to leave him!”
“Michelle and Matthew took such great care of our 2 dogs - we are so grateful! We received pictures and updates every day, which we very much appreciated. Our dogs got walks and exercise and lots of love! This was our first time finding care through the Rover app, and we were so relieved to find such a great family to care for our dogs. Thank you Michelle and Matthew!!”
“Nimbus had a great time, they went on daily 2mile walks and got a lot of attention and cuddles. We were sent daily photos/videos with updates during our time away which made the separation more bearable. Would definitely plan to use Mary again!”
“Valentina takes such great care of my dog Sonny while we're gone, he always comes back home happy and relaxed which lets me know he has a good time with her! She is our go to sitter whenever we have to leave town because we trust her to take great care of our dog and is very easy to communicate with, I highly recommend Valentina!”
“Mary and her husband were very welcoming to my little guy Tazer. I felt totally comfortable with them and knew they would treat him well and they did. I only felt bad because Tazer was at her home for overnight boarding and he was having a restless night so no one got a good nights sleep. Despite this there were no complaints from Mary. I definitely recommend Mary as a sitter!”
“We decided on a last minute trip and Ingrida was kind enough to watch our girl for 4 days. She was very responsive and all our questions were answered. Anytime we text she responded immediately. Our Lulu was freshly washed and brushed and looked very happy at pickup. Would book again!”
“Linda and her family were phenomenal. I got updated pictures and feedback everyday we were gone for vacation, Linda was so understanding when last minute my dog got an ear infection and ended up needing medication before we left, and when we picked her up she was walked and medicated for the evening. Linda was so kind, VERY quick with responding and reassurance, and organized. This was my first experience with Rover. Right away I knew Linda would be trustworthy and good with my pup. She had a fenced in yard where the dogs would chase each other and get out energy Thank you Linda and family for taking such great care of Luna! Hopefully she’ll see you guys and Daisy soon!”
“Katharine and her family were great. They provided updates and photos and made drop off and pick up a breeze. Chloe was well taken care of - I will definitely use them again. Thanks for taking such good care of Chloe and making me feel so comfortable with our choice.”
“Connie was incredible! She was so sweet with Rocky, and great with communicating and sending updates/photos. I’ll definitely be using Connie the next time I’m out of town!”
“Wayne was amazing! Kept me updated the entire time while I was away. My first time booking on Rover as I was referred by someone else. I would definitely rebook again in the future. I highly recommend him”

“Ann is beyond kind and sweet, not just to animals, but people as well. She makes you feel at home & comfortable right when you meet her. Maggie & Sparky were very well cared for and had a great time while we were away. So grateful and happy to have found her. Thank you Ann!”
“Patricia took great care of Tess for us! She was very communicative and send lots of updates. Tess came home happy and healthy! We would definitely ask Patricia to help us with Tess again”
“Angel was amazing! I was nervous at first as I had never had someone watch my dogs in their home but it was the best decision I could have made. She was kind, communicative and sent me pictures of them throughout my trip. Her home is spotless and spacious and the yard is perfectly set up for dogs. I would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely be using her again in the future! I can’t thank her enough for the great care she took of my dogs!”
“Michelle and Erika were great! They provided plenty of updates, photos and even videos during my dogs stay. They were friendly and reassuring and I will definitely use them again for future stays.”
“Excellent and attentive service! We really appreciate the time and care Rosie showed our dog. She made sure to keep us informed and shared pictures of his stay. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Michael took care of my dog really well! She seemed really happy to be there and got alone well with the dogs. The responses were fast and updated me on my dog. I will book again when needed!”

I love my dog but he can be a jerk. Heather set up a meet and greet and it went really well. She provided excellent advice so when I left my dog with her he handled it well. She provided lots of attention to him and sent a video and pictures so I could see that he was content. I will definitely use her again if I get the opportunity!
Jean and Al were so great. They treated our girl like she was their own. We could tell how happy and comfortable she was with the pictures Jean sent and even when we picked her up as she was happy to keep hanging out and play while we talked whereas with a lot of other sitters, she’s been happy to go home asap.
Danielle is amazing. She is unbelievably kind and accommodating. I really just needed some daycare once, maybe twice, for my pup while moving, but I could tell off the bat she cares about every dog that comes through her door. I ended up doing a handful of daycare days and boarding him. I know my dog can be a pain. He is an anxious old boy and can be high-maintenance at times. I had such peace of mind sending my dog to her. She sent me photos and updates. The only downside is I didn’t find her sooner before moving away. I got to pick up a tired, happy boy every time. If I ever need to board my dog again, I will definitely be making the drive to send him to her!
Trinity was fantastic with Brutus! She was super responsive before the stay, flexible with drop-off time, and asked great questions about his temperament. Throughout the stay she sent photos and updates so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Brutus settled in quickly, loved his walks, and from what it sounds Brutus was totally obsessed with her squeaker toys. It's clear she genuinely enjoys the dogs she cares for. Highly recommend and we'll definitely book again!
Michelle and Erika did a wonderful job taking care of my black lab, BB! She was very comfortable there and I know she had loads of fun with their other dogs, as they sent me pictures and videos throughout the entire stay! BB seemed very happy when I came to pick her up, almost too happy like she didn’t want to leave her new friends behind! Thank you so so much again for taking BB in so last minute and taking such great care of her the week that I was gone! I highly recommend these two to take care of your fur babies! 💖
We just had our dog Frida stay with Iris for 6 days and could not be happier with the absolute best care Frida received. We are first timers with Rover and were a bit hesitant doing a service. Frida is an 8lb little dog and wanted someone who does one dog/family at a time and this is what Iris does. We were so happy to find this with Iris. Her whole family loved and cared for our Frida and we are so appreciative for this special and kind care. We 100% recommend Iris and definitely found a great pet sitter. Also, I like that Frida was never left alone the whole 6 days. I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home lol. Book with Iris!!!

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Lombard 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 Lombard 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 Lombard.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lombard. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lombard 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
