“Dave has been amazing. We have used his services already a few times and will keep doing it. He has shown professionalism taking care of our dog and also he has been very flexible on schedule. Definitely we recommend him.”
“This was a very last minute booking. Bonnie was available and she and family were terrific with our dog. He had a party with all the other dogs with him and got to play lots and get his energy out. She sent us pictures and updates and it looked like he was getting lots of love too. She sent Buddy home with a goody bag full of doggie treats! Such a nice touch and so thoughtful. Thank you Bonnie!”
About: I grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin taking care of cows, pigs, cats, dogs, and a brother. I also ran sleep away summer camps for ten years. I am excited to help you and your fur baby! I am full time work-from-home. As long as there is an internet connection I can do my work and watch and take care of your fur babies. I am willing to help with all aspects of pet care-walking, feeding, grooming, bathing, brushing teeth, etc. All I need are clear instructions and/or schedule along with any signs your pet is trying to communicate and I am good to go.
“Sana was amazing with Jesse! She really got to know him, and I could tell from the photos and messages that Jesse was feeling safe and cared for. As a first-time dog mom, it’s tough to leave my furry baby behind, but knowing more about him and getting updates during and after pick-up really put my mind at ease and made it even better than I had hoped. If you are looking for.a reliable, caring and professional pet sitter, I highly recommend Sana!”

“Tina was AMAZING, by far the best sitter I’ve been to. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times and my puppy loved her two dogs. I definitely plan on booking another sitting with her!”
“Lyn took a great care of my dog Charlotte. She was happy playing with other dogs. Also, Lyn is affectionate with the dogs. This is the scone time that she watches Charlotte for me.”
About: I have had dogs most of my life. From my childhood dog to the ones I raised as an adult. I have potty-trained dogs to use a bell to indicate they have to go out, taught them to back away from table food, and to give up stolen items. I will treat your dog lovingly and as if they are my own. I am mostly retired and home the majority of the day. The dog will go no longer than 4 hours without a potty break, and most days it will be shorter than that. Your pet will be the only one in the house with me. I block off my stairs so the dog is always very close and mostly within eyesight.
About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.
“My puppy was happy and tired when I picked her up which means she had a full day of movement and fun! I am so appreciative and happy with the service. Very accommodating and timely as well.”
“Oliwia so great with Nola. She was able to accommodate us and help me while I attended work. There was regular communication. Thank you and we will be sure bring Nola back sometime!”

“Stephanie did a great job taking care of my puppy, Elsa! She was accommodating to the needs of a young puppy, and it’s nice that she has her own dog, Mochi, to help with socialization. Stephanie had great communication prior to the booking and consistent updates during the day of. It was my first time leaving Elsa with a sitter, but Stephanie was a great choice. I would definitely recommend and book again in the future!”
“Karissa is awesome. My Stu has so much fun and I love the photos and updates she shares. Any pup would be lucky to spend some time with Karissa, her people and fur family. Glad I found her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Medinah
This was our pup's first day visit with Valentina. He must have had a great time because he was so tired afterwards! He took a nap right away when he got home! Valentina seemed very knowledgeable about different breeds of dogs and their care and her home seemed well equipped for doggie daycare. We will be returning to visit Valentina again soon!
Tina took excellent care of my cockapoo by walking him, feeding him and giving him medication. He loves praise, being petted and talked to. My little dog was having separation anxiety and each time I left my house I felt guilty. Now my dog is happy, plays with his dog friends, has people and animal companionship and eats and gets his medicine on-time. Tina is very loving and excellent with my baby! She puts on his two coats and boots before he goes outside in the snow. I definitely would recommend her!
David and his girlfriend were true dog whispers. I have a senior dog with separation anxiety from me. But they took care of her so well, we didn't have any issue and she loved her time there. They took so many photos (4-6 photos daily!) and shared updates to me very often. Highly highly recommended. Thank you so much for taking great care of Bori! ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Medinah on Rover is $38.85 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 .

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 Medinah 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 3,876 sitters in Medinah, 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.
