“What a great experience! Wrigley felt right at home, he loved playing with Dan and Joys kids. I received daily updates and pictures. I would give Wrigley’s stay and the friendly atmosphere a 5++. Thank you for treating Wrigley as family. Cathy Gonzalez”
“Gracie loved her visit with Eleanor and her family! She was happy to see us when we picked her up, but a little sad to leave her new friends! We have a very high comfort level with Eleanor and her boarding!! Highly recommend! ?❤️”
“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”
“Mercedes always goes above and beyond, and I really appreciate her. The care that she takes with my dog and the attention to detail is awesome I love the pictures and the communications throughout the day. She’s always so great to work with.”
“We have used Tino to watch our dog, Oscar a few times. Tino is great with communication, taking walks and sending pictures. Oscar feels very comfortable when we walk in which is a very good sign that he is happy in his home. His family is also loving to Oscar and gives him positive attention. Based on our experience this past year, I feel confident to recommend Tino.”
About: Every pet has feelings, a unique personality, and a need to feel loved. I believe pet sitting is more than just feeding and watching animals. It’s about making sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet with patience, kindness, and attention, taking the time to understand their needs and make them feel at home. Your pet deserves more than a sitter. They deserve someone who truly cares. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate each pet’s individual needs, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I strive to maintain your pet’s usual routine while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide pet care exclusively in my own home, which has a fenced-in yard where pets can enjoy outdoor time under supervision. I also have a friendly small dog, and I understand that meeting a new dog can take time. I’ll make introductions slowly and patiently, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort and keeping a close eye on their interactions. I want every pet to feel safe, relaxed, and welcome. My goal is to provide a clean, loving environment where your furry friend can enjoy a true home away from home while you’re away.
“I booked Danielle for a second time because our first experience was so great- and this time was no different! She is so sweet with my dog, she makes sure she is taken care of and feels at home while away from home. There's no sitter I'd trust more than Danielle. If you want to travel with peace of mind- book her!”
About: Dog mom of 7 years to a reactive Aussie and a 4yo Pomeranian. Trained both from puppies, as well as groom both at home due to reactivity issues. I am currently a SAHM so I’m available for walks, runs and drop by visits at all times during the week. Weekends are for soccer but we can set a schedule! I have a fenced yard for both my dogs with plenty of yard space for running around and playing. My dogs are also crate trained so we are willing to have overnight guests if needed without any worries.
About: I have both a cat and a dog. Recently moved out to steger/monee. I can't wait to meet some of your fuzzy friends and help out! -Sarah Just moved to Edgewater and available from Mondays-Friday and before 4pm on Weekends! Anywhere that I can commute via CTA to walk, sit, or feed your pet. I have 3 cats in my apartment, although I have previous experience with a family dog. I also have experience volunteering at PAWS animal shelter.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lynwood
The care that my dog king was given while boarding for 11 days was excellent the family took pictures and sent them to me each day that king was there and he didn't want them to leave when he was brought back home. I am so elated that I found this home for his care. It has become home away from home. Thank you for the love and care you gave my King🤗
Jesus was fantastic with our puppy! He made our pup feel completely comfortable and at home right away. His communication was excellent—he was always quick to reply to questions and sent regular, reassuring updates throughout the stay. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommended!

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 Lynwood 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 Lynwood 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 Lynwood.
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 Lynwood. 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 Lynwood 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.
