“We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic care provided to Flynn by Mike and his family! From the moment we reached out on short notice, he was incredibly accommodating. Throughout the day, we received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Flynn was in great hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby—your attention to detail and thoughtful communication made all the difference!”
“Balaji, Sanna and sweet precious Mocha are a home away from home to Penny. You can feel the pure joy that Penny experiences with this lovely family all through the shared videos and pictures! Many times they catch her smiling! Our trust will never fade when Penny is under their care!”

I treat every dog like my own—with patience, love, and lots of tail-wagging fun. Whether your pup needs a daily walk or a cozy home while you’re away, you can count on me for safe, personalized care. I’m here to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. Safety, comfort, and tail wags guaranteed! I work from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pup! I’m available for dog walks any day between 10 AM and 9 PM, and I also offer boarding any day of the week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got you covered with lots of attention, playtime, and love. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac, perfect for calm walks. Dogs are always kept on-leash outside, and I take them to fenced-in parks for safe playtime. At home, they get a clean, cozy space with lots of care and supervision.

“Erena day sat for our dog, Cinnamon, while we were on a day trip as a family. She was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and welcoming to Cinnamon. It was clear to us that she wanted Cinnamon to feel at home, and she eased Cinnamon very gently into an unfamiliar situation. Erena also shared pictures of Cinnamon with us during the day. We would gladly use Erena again!”
“Our dog is very particular and we searched for a good sitter and Christine put our mind at ease. Communication was great and our dog, Chloe, fell very comfortable with her. We will use Christine in the future for our dog's sitting needs for sure.”
“As a first-time dog daycare user, I was filled with worry, but Thea went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I'm confident that it was a wonderful experience for my dog, Chester, as well. It's hard to put into words how touching the experience was. I am so grateful to Thea, and I have no doubt about her love for dogs. As long as she's available, I will continue to entrust her with Chester.”
“Mary was great. We were in the area for an unexpected family trip and wanted to do a little nearby sight-seeing without leaving Bibi alone in a strange environment. She took us on with late notice and was a great communicator through the whole process, which was especially great as we were new to the Rover platform. Highly recommend. Thanks so much.”
“Sue has been watching our pup Archie for a while with her daughter and does an amazing job. She treats him like her own giving us piece of mind that our pup is safe and happy while we are at work. We also appreciate the socialization he’s gotten meeting some other pups while at day care. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sue to anyone!”

About: Hello! We love furry friends. We will spend time with your pets and take best care of them. We will let your pets feel like they are always surrounded with love. We need to go to office three days a week. We will get home around 5pm and both me and my husband can take care daily. We have a very friendly 6 years old yellow lab, Coco, at home. We go out 3 times a day and play with her very often. We will do the same thing and crated if you request.
About: I love taking care of dogs. I have my own dog who is very friendly and loves to play but also loves to be lazy. I've watched dogs for friends and family members for years and always enjoy it so I decided to open my home to more frequent furry guests. All dogs are treated like my own and get lots of love and attention (or space, if that's what they prefer). I'm happy to administer medications or accommodate individual needs. Working from home full-time enables me to closely supervise furry guests and allow for plenty of time to tend to their needs and provide lots of outside time by opening and closing the door multiple times a day (haha). I have a fenced-in yard and large deck for doggy sunbathing. My dog loves having canine guests and doesn't mind sharing me, his bed, toys, or food. I also have a teenage daughter who absolutely loves having more dogs around. I have lots of extra blankets and allow dogs on the furniture and beds. Everything is washed regularly. Paws are always wiped on muddy yard days. If your dog prefers sleeping in a crate or having a crate for alone time, that is perfectly fine, too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Long Grove on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,581 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Long Grove. 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 Long Grove 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 3,581 sitters in Long Grove, 86% 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.
