“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“Absolutely without a doubt one of the best cat sitters we have EVER had. Amberley and her husband Matt went above and beyond to slowly introduce my cats to their new surroundings - to the point where they were sleeping with the cats in a separate room to ensure their comfort and care. They went above and beyond a normal “sitter” service. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation. Communication, pictures, etc. were all consistent, prompt and reassuring. Thank you Amberley and Matt!?”
“Justine and Brett took excellent care of our Dexter while we were on vacation. He is high energy and got lots of exercise and attention while we were gone. Would definitely recommend them and be using them again!”
“Melissa was absolutely FANTASTIC with our Mr. Lap. Every day she sent pics of how he was doing and the excellent care he was getting at her place. Highly recommend and will definitely be calling again next time we're out of town!”
“David and Susan were easy to schedule with and very accommodating for our dog! They hosted our lab for a long vacation and made sure she was loved while we were away! Thank you!”
“This was our first time leaving our pup for more than a few days and needless to say we were only a little tightly wound about it. But Shirley made us feel like we could breathe on our travels and actually be present in the moments. Not only did she keep him loved and cared for, but she was the ultimate documentarian, showering us with plenty of pics and videos to never feel left out. I would highly recommend Shirley for any pet care taking needs, and would love to have her watch Kaito again.”
“WOW I cannot say enough about Danielle. I have a skittish greyhound who has terrible separation anxiety and wasn’t sure how she would handle being away from us for a few days. Immediately upon meeting Danielle I felt welcomed into her home and it was obvious immediately how much she loves dogs. She assured me that she would even sleep with our dog on the couch at night to make sure she wasn’t too anxious. That’s top quality care to me! Danielle really understands dogs and their various needs, and provided the warmth, love, and care my girl needed to feel safe away from her family. Danielle even sent pictures and a video which was reassuring to make sure she was doing well. We have found a trusted sitter and can’t wait to use Danielle again for our next trip.”
“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”
“We had such an amazing experience booking our dog sitting with Ashley. She was very kind and sweet with our dog, and was very easy to keep in contact with - she responded very quickly with updates on how our dog was doing, and sent plenty of pictures. We will definitely book with her again in the future, and highly recommend her!”
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle was wonderful! She was very responsive and my dog absolutely loved her. She sent picture updates and was very prompt with drop off and pick up. Highly recommend”
“Lynda took care of my dog, Beamer, for a couple of days. This was the first time I had to leave her with someone and I was so worried because she has separation anxiety. Linda sent me pictures and I could see that Beamer was very comfortable in her new surroundings. In fact, I was a little hurt because the dog was doing so well she didn’t seem to miss me one bit! I was so relieved and am very happy that, when I have to go somewhere without her, she is in good hands!”
“Christina’s family is so caring and loving! You can tell how much their kids enjoy hanging out with Milo and accepted him as part of the family. It’s so great to see how sweet their dog Brydie is too! I know he always has a great experience with Christina and her family 💗”
“Valentina was absolutely AWESOME with Punky!!! She sent us pictures every day, kept us updated on a daily basis, and followed all our instructions! Punky even made a new friend while staying there...and so did we :) I would highly recommend Valentina to everyone!”
About: I can do general grooming including nail/claw trims. I also can give medication if needed, I enjoy going outside on walks and also playing with any type of animal I go to college currently and have an occasional job working for a delivery company but animals are my passion so I look forward to working with them I make sure to always stick to instructions given to me word for word and want your furry friends as safe and comfortable as possible
“Mary was great with Bernard. He was a happy camper when we picked up him and he was getting lots of time outside and attention - both of which he loves. She responded quickly to messages and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. There where several other dogs around and also other people. I would use Mary again!”
“Karin was awesome!! She watched our pup Luna while we were on vacation for a week. She sent multiple updates and photos which we always appreciate. She even went above and beyond and administered the last of some meds she needed to take. We’ll definitely be contacting her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From playful puppy stages to slower-paced senior dogs, I have experience in it all. Whether it’s feeding and walking or playtime and cuddles, I truly enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also have two cats of my own that I absolutely spoil, so I understand how important it is to give pets plenty of attention, affection, and care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I start Physician Assistant school in the fall, so for now I have lots of free time and can dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. With the weather getting warmer, I’m especially happy to take dogs out for walks or spend time outdoors so they can get fresh air and exercise. My flexible routine allows me to make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I live in a clean, spacious apartment that provides a calm and comfortable environment for pets. My complex also has great outdoor spaces, including courtyards and a dog park, as well as safe walking areas, which makes it easy for dogs to get fresh air, exercise, and playtime. At home, I have two very loved cats who are used to a quiet, well-maintained environment. They are a big part of my life and help make our home feel warm and welcoming. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions so every pet feels comfortable and safe in the space. Safety and routine are very important to me. I’m able to follow any specific care instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medication routines, or crate training if needed. My goal is to create a stress-free, secure environment where your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lombard
Jean and Al were wonderful pet sitters for Gus and Stella during our 10-day vacation. We felt completely at ease knowing they were being cared for so well. Gus is a special needs dog and needs extra attention, including medication, and Jean and Al went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and had everything he needed. They also sent us photos of both dogs every day, which we really appreciated. It was obvious from the pictures that Gus and Stella were relaxed, happy, and getting plenty of love from Jean, Al, and their family. When we picked them up, both dogs seemed happy and completely comfortable, which told us everything we needed to know. We’re very grateful for the care they gave Gus and Stella and would absolutely use them again the next time we travel.
Danielle was fantastic! Communication was great and Pete seemed to really enjoy his stay. I would 100% recommend Danielle’s services and I will for sure rebook for my next trip. It is so nice to know my dog is being well taken care of and loved as their own while I’m out of town!
Benji spent another week with Amanda and he loved it! He does have a little bit of separation anxiety, this was his second time, and he had no problem heading into her door and away from me. She is amazing, sends updates with pictures and cuddles with him on the couch. Best sitter ever!

As of July 2026, there are 5,529 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lombard. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Lombard sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lombard landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
