“Our dogs had a great time with Jill. We are so happy with how well Jill cared for our two dogs and genuinely loved having them at her home. Jill was very communicative and friendly along with sending us frequent pics while we were able. We couldn’t be more appreciative to have felt so ease while we were away and could tell our dogs were in good hands.”
“Carla was amazing with Athena! We've used Rover before, but our previous pet sitter moved away and we were a little nervous leaving Athena with someone new. She can be a lot simply because she is so big and she has bad separation anxiety which can be a lot to handle. We really appreciate the transparency that the dogs are never left home alone. We loved seeing all of the pictures and videos of her running and playing with all the dogs! It reassured us that she was having fun and was well cared for. She came back exhausted from her fun vacation weekend with new friends. We will definitely be bringing Athena back to Carla and her family again!”
“Loved having Jess take care of our big pup! He was welcomed into her family for our extended vacation and he immediately felt comfortable and at home! (He’s a little anxious so this was a big deal!). We got regular updates and photos. Will 100% use her again!”
“Our pup Carson had a wonderful stay with Angela and her family! I received the cutest daily pictures of him and all the fun he was having with them. He was spoiled in the best ways and I am so thankful for all the love they provided during his stay, he was so comfortable and I can tell he had the best time with everyone and their pup Honey as well. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs from a variety of backgrounds, and I’m excited to bring that experience to Rover. I provide loving, personalized in-home daycare and boarding in Spring Grove, IL. I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pup gets my full attention, plenty of love, and a comfortable home environment. I have a large fenced in backyard. I currently own a 4 month old golden retriever and a 15 year old beagle mix. I can provide care to puppies and medically complicated dogs as well. ❤️ I currently own a 4-month-old female Golden Retriever and a 15-year-old Beagle mix. I also have 3 children and work from home, so I am home throughout the day and able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a large indoor pen available if needed, along with plenty of toys and chews. I only care for one family's dog(s) at a time, allowing me to provide more personalized attention and supervision.
“This is the second time I've used June and Wade. We had to add an additional day and thank goodness they were available! Another wonderful stay. Several pictures were sent. He really makes himself at home with them. Will definitely use them again!”
“Melody was AMAZING with our dog! Very quick communication throughout the whole booking/reserving process, and throughout the stay. We had numerous photos and updates, which made my anxiety about leaving Ginny much more bearable. Ginny was allowed to cuddle on furniture and beds, and was the only pet in the home, which is hard to find! I wouldn't think twice about booking Melody again to take care of our fur baby.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our senior frenchie, Duke. He had a great time and I had no doubt he was in great hands while we were out of town. Marta was quick to respond to messages and sent great pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“This was the second time I had Jennifer sit for my dogs. I would 100% trust her with them at any time. She gives frequent updates and makes sure the dogs are well taken care of. She treats them just like her own. One of my dogs was on a steroid and she made sure to give her her medicine and kept me up-to-date on how she was doing. I appreciate the care she gives to them when they are with her.”
“I was thinking Casper may not want to come home, as it looked like he was having a good time and being spoiled. He was allowed on their sofa and on the bed (things he doesn't get to do at home, at least not while I'm in the room). Great experience and Emily has 2 boys that also gave Casper a lot of attention. I will definitely rebook again as needed.”
“Carolyn took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town for 10 days! Her communication is exceptional and she send lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay. We know that our dog is in good hands when we go out of town and leave him with Carolyn! Highly highly recommended, we could not be happier about having such a reliable sitter for our pup!!”
“Rusty was great with Tally. He regularly sent pictures and videos to us which we really appreciated. Tally came home very happy and seems to enjoy her stay with Rusty and her other furry friends.”
“A wonderful caring experienced dog sitter for my energetic little Shorrky! What more could I ask for!? I had no worries and felt confident Abby was being well taken care of and loved… will be back!! Everything was great!!”
About: I bring positive energy, patience, and lots of love to every dog I care for. I work with dogs of all ages and focus on creating a stress-free, fun, and comforting experience through play, cuddles, walks, and attentive care. I take time to learn each dog's personality and needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved-- and I keep owners connected with updates and photos so they know their pup is in great hands. I am home from work for the summer. I am a full-time elementary school teacher during the school year, so I am very flexible and can make my own schedule. I am able to accommodate a variety of needs/ requests. I have a fully fenced backyard, and a senior female dog who is super social with other dogs and people. I will work with you to ensure your dog's needs are met and his/ her schedule remains the same as in their permanent home.
“Tommy and Julie were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever leaving our dogs with people we barely even knew. They quickly put our worries at ease and sent constant updates on our pups during our week long vacation. Highly recommend!”
“We have been taking our dog Bear to Derek for almost 2 years now. Some of our trips have been pretty long and every single time bear has gotten the best care from him and his family. He’s very diligent about keeping in touch and sending pictures, which we love. I can’t say enough about Derek and his family… Your dog would be in perfect loving hands with them if you ever need to be away. Thank you, Derek!”
About: My husband I both grew up with golden retrievers and have a soft spot for them. When I was first out on my own and bought my first home, I rescued a pit bull and she was with me until she passed. My husband, sons and I are all dog lovers and would love to welcome your dog into our home. My husband is home full time and I work from home and we are anxious to care for your pet! We have 2 sons - ages 6 and 10, so kid-friendly dogs are a must. We are available any day of the week at any time, unless we have something specific planned (which is not often). Please feel free to ask about specific dates and times and I will be sure to add you to my calendar! My husband is home full time and I work from home so we have ample amounts of time to care for your pet. My 2 sons LOVE dogs and love to play and take dogs on walks. Our yard is unfenced, per our HOA rules so your pet will always be on a leash for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. Pets are free to explore the entire home and will not be crated or gated, unless a crate is provided and requested.
“Cheyenne was amazing! I will definitely be using her again. She was very accommodating in the drop off and pick up times and shared pictures and videos throughout the stay. I felt comfortable that my two pups were well taken care of and having a blast with all of her dogs. My flight was completely cancelled due to the weather and I had to stay out of town an extra day. Cheyenne was so understanding and just made it work. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and just an all around amazing sitter! Thank you, Cheyenne from Callie, Remi and I!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McCullom Lake
We are so grateful for Danielle and her family and the wonderful care they provide for our Ella whenever we’re out of town! Danielle is incredibly patient and always gives Ella the time and space she needs to settle in and feel comfortable. She sends daily updates and photos throughout her stay, and it’s always so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Ella is. They truly treat her like part of their own pack! Danielle is also incredibly flexible, accommodating, and understanding. During this most recent stay, we experienced unexpected travel delays and were unable to pick Ella up at our scheduled time. Danielle was so understanding and willing to work with us, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during an already stressful situation. We truly appreciate the love and care Danielle and her family give Ella and the peace of mind that comes with knowing she’s in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!
Our dogs had a great time with Jill. We are so happy with how well Jill cared for our two dogs and genuinely loved having them at her home. Jill was very communicative and friendly along with sending us frequent pics while we were able. We couldn’t be more appreciative to have felt so ease while we were away and could tell our dogs were in good hands.
From start to finish, Barbara was helpful and welcoming to our family and Kylo. Kylo definitely missed her and wanted to say goodbye. We will definitely use Barbara again because she took amazing care of our family dog. Thank you for all the updates and for looking out for our dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 McCullom Lake home-away-from-home, 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 McCullom Lake.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 McCullom Lake 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 , 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 .
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.
