“Tanya was amazing with Winston! He can be a very nervous boy, but he felt completely comfortable with Tanya and her family. We also had the pleasure of booking at the same time as Winston’s cousin, Gus, so the two of them got to play together the entire time we were away. 😜 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Winston was happy, relaxed, and having the best time!”
“Sumer was so good with my pup! She also sent me pictures about every other day, which really helped set me at ease. She is super sweet, and I will definitely use her again! 💜”
“I feel like we have found a diamond in the rough. Jacqueline, Kris and Bella are so kind and truly are dog lovers. We received updates with pictures during Piper's stay. Their fenced in yard was perfect for Piper to run and sniff. Cannot say enough positive remarks regarding the excellent care Piper received. We highly recommend Jacqueline's family for daycare or boarding, and will be boarding again in the future!”
“Our 15 month old Maltipoo had never spent a night apart from us and had limited interaction with other dogs. We had a need for an overnight stay and decided to try Rover which led us to Emily and Thomas as they lived close by. We are so very thankful that we found them! They spent three days in a week leading up to the stay having Charlie come over for walks and spent time inside their place trying to get him used to a new environment. They were so patient with him and so kind to him. They sent pictures and videos to help reassure us that he was doing well. They really went above and beyond in every way and we can recommend them highly enough! We can’t wait to have them sit with Charlie again later this summer and have him play with Monster! Thank you, Emily and Thomas!”
“Jennifer was great! It helped us relax on our trip knowing our dog was with someone who was treating her like their own dog. Our dog was able to play outside in the fenced yard, snuggle a bunch and treated like a part of their family. We will definitely use Jennifer for another future trip! Thanks so much!”
About: Hi! I’m Meg, a graduate student attending Aurora University online while pursuing my Master’s in Social Work. My career is centered around being patient, dependable, and attentive to individual needs, and I bring those same qualities to every pet I care for. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for my own dog, Bentley, has given me experience beyond the average pet owner. I adopted him as an 8-week-old puppy from an accidental litter, and over the years I’ve managed his hip issues, bladder disease requiring a strict prescription diet, anxiety, and a collapsing trachea. Because of him, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed feeding instructions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. In addition to Bentley, I’ve cared for more than 15 dogs through house sitting, walks, and pet care for family and friends. I’m most comfortable with small- and medium-sized dogs, including puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special diets. Since I can’t have a dog of my own right now, Rover is the perfect way to combine something I truly enjoy with a flexible schedule while I’m in graduate school. Whether your pup is staying with me for the weekend or just needs an evening walk, I’ll make sure they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to send photo updates and detailed visit summaries as often as you’d like. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, consistency, lots of love, and plenty of updates along the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I’m currently a graduate student attending Aurora University online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I currently offer weekend boarding in my home and evening walks during the week. I’ll always keep my availability up to date, and I’ll only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any routines that help your pet feel at home. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable. I’m also happy to provide photo updates and detailed check-ins throughout their stay for your peace of mind.
“Angelina took such good care of my Humphrey. I will be using her very special service again. I received so many pictures and videos of Humphrey on walks and relaxing on the couch. It did my heart good to see him comfortable and safe. I will always be grateful for the care and love he received.”
“This is our second booking with Mary and we cannot say enough good things about her. Some very unexpected things happened during this booking and Mary truly went over and above to take care of our little guy. We look forward to many more future bookings with Mary!”
“Lauren and her family were great! She was so flexible and paid attention to all the details. My dog came back happy and tired from having fun! We will be back next time we’re in the area needing a sitter!”
“Cujo had a WONDERFUL time with Chris, Dan and their dog, Thor! (He even learned some German while there! :-) ) Chris sent us a few photos and video to make us feel relaxed that they were all having a great time. We highly recommend Chris and Dan, they offer a great loving, fun environment (and fenced yard!). Will call them 1st next time we ever need Rover services. SOOOOO much better than going to a kennel!”
“We were so anxious leaving our fur baby for the first time. Samantha was wonderful. She sent pictures and kept in touch with us the whole time we were gone. My husband needed surgery and it made all the difference in the world knowing he did not need to worry about his precious Beans.”
About: I have worked in vet med for almost 3 years now. I started work as a kennel technician and I am now currently a veterinary assistant. I have pet sat my family and friends pets throughout the years. My one pup at home is a special needs puppy so I have some special need care as well. My schedule has opened up recently and I would love the opportunity to be able to watch/care for pups. I am available in the afternoon/evenings on weekdays and I am free on the weekends as well. I have two very friendly dogs who could keep your furry friend company. I also have crates and play pens in home too for separation if needed.
“Ella was very attentive and very communicative in 3 years I’ve never been away from my baby more than a couple hours and she made the entire experience great for us and our puppy girl”
“There are no words to express how thankful we are. Traci and her family made our family feel completely at ease while we were away for the very first time. This was our first experience leaving our baby with someone else, and trusting another family to care for him was a big step for us. Traci and her family treated our boy as if he were their own. She kept us updated, which we deeply appreciated, and you can see in the photos just how comfortable and safe he felt. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. For anyone considering care, we highly recommend Traci and her family. They are truly the best. And their dog, Wilfred — the cutest, kindest boy ever — made the experience even sweeter.”
“Julia was absolutely a dream! She took such incredible care of our Weimaraner, Mozzie. Great communication, great photos and she made sure he had his own vacation while we were away! 10/10 and will rebook again!”
“Mary did an amazing job caring for my dog for 2 weeks. I was concerned leaving her for such a long time, but Mary treated her as if she was her own dog. I received at least one photo from her every day. Right from the start I could see that my dog was healthy and happy.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Loves Park
We loved Tanya and her family! They did a great job with both of our dogs. We enjoyed the picture updates and great communication throughout our stay. The dogs seemed calm and at ease in her home throughout their stay. We would recommend Tanya to anyone looking for an easy transition from home to boarding location and are hoping to use her again in the future. Thanks so much!
Ella is such a sweetheart and took amazing care of Tank. She kept us updated on how he was doing which was greatly appreciated and gave us peace of mind since it was the first time we’ve ever had someone watch him while we went out of town. She even sent him home with treats which was an awesome surprise. Definitely recommend her watching your fur baby and would love for her to watch him again.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Loves Park on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
91% of Loves Park 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 Loves Park 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 Loves Park 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 Loves Park.
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 Loves Park 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.
