“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”

“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”

“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”

“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”

“Best dog sitter Rylee (my dog) and I have ever had. It’s her home away from home. She comes home happy, healthy, and super sleepy from all the play. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful family. Thank you!!!!”

“Watched our very young puppy for a night and was amazing, very communicative, and flexible. The puppy seemed to have a great time with him and the resident dogs, and he sent tons of photos.”

“Barbara was great as always. Barbara was able to make some last minute accommodations for us as a result of a last minute change with our schedule. We know our Bailey is in good hands with Barbara when we travel and gladly use her services again.”

“Adolfo was a fantastic dog sitter. My 1-year-old Corgi stayed with him for four days, and he had the time of his life. He absolutely loved running around in the backyard area and playing with the other dogs who were being hosted at the time. Adolfo sent dozens of photos each day, and we loved the constant communication and updates on our baby. I also really appreciated how attentive Adolfo was to our dog's needs. We dropped our dog off in the morning, and the first question Adolfo asked us is if he had eaten his breakfast yet. Adolfo demonstrated from our first conversation, meet-and-greet, and dog-sitting experience that he is a natural caretaker of dogs. I will be rebooking with Adolfo whenever I need to in the future.”

“WOW! I can tell Franklin had so much fun. He has been sleeping for two days straight from all his fun and walks with Elizabeth. I would highly recommend working with her. She sent many pictures and took all of our worries away. Very helpful and pleasant experience.”
“Thankful to have met Susan & her grandson to help me care for my little kitty Church. This is the second time I've boarded him while I was away for my studies. I felt very comfortable leaving my little man knowing he was cared for as I care for him at home. Highly recommend to board ✨”


“Monica took fantastic care of Squid! She sent me pictures while he was away, so I knew how he was doing. He seemed super comfy and happy. Would definitely leave Squid in her care again!”

“Jasmine was amazing from the initial booking to the drop off & ALL throughout the 1st visit for my lil guy. The daily update with beautiful & happy photos were definitely a true testament to her quality of care, concern, & love displayed for my dog. I’ve already booked several more boarding stays to ensure confirmation! Thank you Jasmine for all that you for our lil B.!!”

“Christine was great! She had excellent communication, and we got lots of pictures/videos while we were away! Charlie had a blast and made some new friends!”

“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”

“Matthew was a lifesaver for me and my little one. Pinch hit at the last minute when her other Rover had a family emergency. He sent lots of updates and was very communicative. Would definitely book Matthew again!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves. Daily and evening care including walks, feedings, playmate, bath time and bed time with any other activities including the dog park when availabe based on weathe. Pets are free to roam while I am home and crated when I need to run errands. They are treated like the rest of the family.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Lyons is $50

I was nervous about leaving our sweet dog for the longest stretch so far, but I immediately felt comfortable with Tamara. She sent videos, photos and updates to show how well our dog adjusted. She is a lovely, caring person who I fully trust with my dog and highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Janeth! She sent me daily photos and updates, which gave our family so much peace of mind while we were away. From the pictures, it was obvious how much love and attention our dog was getting—there were hugs, kisses, playtime outside, and a very happy pup in every photo. What really stood out was her flexibility and kindness when our return flight was cancelled and rebooked for the next day due to weather. She graciously cared for our dog an extra day without hesitation. She even provided her door code so we could pick him up at a time that worked with our delayed travel schedule. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we never had to worry while we were gone. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!

Katalina and her partner were extremely nurturing, kind, patient, and very intentional with our Milo! They kept communication throughout their time with him, sending me pictures and updates. I have had multiple families watch our little guy and I have never had such a wonderful experience. Thank you so much.

Bailey took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog Abby, going above and beyond to be sure Abby felt safe and comfortable. Bailey is well versed in the needs of older dogs and we were so appreciative of her efforts to be sure Abby ate (she is a fussy eater) and got lots of exercise (Abby loves to walk). We hope to book time Abby to stay with Bailey during our next trip out of town and recommend Bailey as with great enthusiasm and no hesitations. Thank you Bailey!

Alicia, was an outstanding host for our pups.she met us at a park before booking to get to know the dogs and had me over to her place so I could see where they would stay. I have two bigger dogs and one is a senior. She gave meds no problem. One of the pups was feeling sick from the extreme heat. She was quick to switch to a mild diet to keep him comfortable. She updated daily with photos and videos of how they were doing. I am not sure that you will find a more conscientious, loving, and communicative pet sitter. She was amazing.

I left my baby puppy with Jasmin and her husband for a week, and they were absolutely amazing. They kept in contact the whole time, and updated me with occasional pictures and videos. She’s so nice, and after our first meeting I was completely comfortable leaving my little puppy in her care. It’s always been incredibly important that my dogs receive adequate attention and care, and I know she did the absolute most when it comes to my Moonpie. I’d definitely book again.

Athena is BEYOND WONDERFUL. I was driving into Chicago from out of town, only about 90 minutes away from dropping my pups off with their original sitter when he had to cancel. Immediately, I went into solution mode, scrambling to find someone to care for my three babies. Athena responded promptly and swooped in to help on extremely short notice. Athena was trustworthy, sent lots of photo updates, and my pups took to her right away. They clearly enjoyed exploring her fenced backyard and seemed completely comfortable in her care. When I picked them up, we talked for quite a while, and I was so grateful that she answered the call when I needed help. She is truly a kind soul with a sweet spirit, and I genuinely feel like God placed her on our path. She is so loving and treats my babies like they are on vacation; I call her home Disney World! 🤣

Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!

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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
