“Dexter has an amazing time staying with Monica! She keeps me updated on how he’s doing throughout the day, which I really appreciate. She was also able to accommodate my last minute request! Will be booking again”
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs and cats ranging in new puppies and kittens to the senior citizens of the pet world. I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. I am available seven days a week and enjoy getting to know new dogs and cats. I am readily accessible to the Riverwalk for long walks. I have permit for my dog at the DuPage Dog Parks and am very familiar with the parks in the greater Naperville Wheaton area.
“Mike provided outstanding care for our husky and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while we were away. He checked in with us multiple times throughout the day, kept us updated with plenty of photos, and made sure our dog was happy, safe, and well taken care of. We’ve never had such a positive experience with someone watching our dog and it gave us real peace of mind knowing Mike was so attentive and reliable. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
About: Over the past year, I have been actively pet sitting for friends, caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, companionship, litter box care, and following specific instructions to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I used to be an IT professional, retired recently after both my kids graduated from college. Now we are empty-nested with no pets no kids. ☺️ I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days for pet sitting, walking, and playtime. When I am going to run some errands, my husband who is working at home and also a pet-lover will watch the fur baby so he/she is accompanied most of the time. Need a daytime solution for your furry friend? I also provide flexible Doggy Day Care alongside my regular boarding services. For all new clients, the first step is always a Meet & Greet to ensure we're a perfect match for your pup！ My journey into Rover boarding comes from a place of deep love for dogs. After 11 wonderful years together, my beloved dog passed away two years ago. While my heart has healed, I missed the joyful energy, the sound of paws on the floor, and the companionship of a dog in the house. I chose to start pet boarding because it allows me to pour all that lifetime of accumulated love, patience, and spoiling into your furry baby! When your pet stays with me, they won't just be "looked after"—they will be treated with the exact same deep devotion, warmth, and care that I gave my own boy for over a decade. I will only take one pet a time for boarding. Pet will enjoy completely unrestricted, free roam of our home, plenty of one-on-one attention, and a daily routine tailored exactly to their comfort level. Please bring your pets food and treats. If your pet has favorite bed/blanket/toy, bring them, otherwise they can use our dog bed, our sofa and, my bed! Small or medium size dogs (<40 lb).
“Thank you so much for making my first experience with Rover so easy and awesome. Bob had such a great time and clearly got lots of love all day. I know he looks forward to coming back! See you again soon!”
About: I welcome dogs from just one household at a time, so your dog—or pair of dogs—gets plenty of individual attention in a relaxed home environment, with a fenced yard and my friendly Bichon, Apple, for company. I've been a dog owner for 16 years, including two Shih Tzus who lived to 16 and 14, so I'm also very comfortable caring for senior dogs. Apple is extremely dog-friendly and enjoys dogs of many sizes, especially those around her size or somewhat larger. I want your dog to feel at home here. I'm happy to follow your normal feeding, sleeping and medication routines, and dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. I also send plenty of photos and updates so you know how your dog is doing while you're away. I currently work from home, so I have plenty of time to care for your dogs (frequent potty breaks, walks as desired, etc.). Occasionally I will have to leave to run errands or meet with clients, but I am rarely gone for more than 2-3 hours. Days that I anticipate being away for more than 3 hours are marked as unavailable on my calendar. When I’m home, guest dogs are welcome to roam the house and fenced yard. If I need to be away briefly, I’m happy to follow whatever routine your dog is accustomed to. I do have several spare crates for smaller dogs if your dog is accustomed to using one, although I also have plenty of space for you to bring yours. I’m happy to work with each owner to maintain their dog's normal overnight routine.
“I can honestly say that Ziyang exceeded all our expectations when looking after our dog. She was exceptionally kind, patient and organized. She looked after Aero by making sure she had a structured day that was full of fun. We got loads of pictures and videos about Aero’s day. We definitely be asking her to take care of our fur baby again.”
“Danielle was absolutely phenomenal.! She truly went above and beyond of what I expected of care for King. She was very comfortable and knowledgeable of his breed and handled him with great care & even thought me a few training points. So thankful for her and accepting my booking at such short notice as well. 10/10 ⭐️”
“Justine and Brett were fantastic! By the time I picked up my little pup, he was all tired out from all the attention and playtime they had with him. So grateful to them for watching my pet!”
“It’s hard to tire out my Bob but he is snoozing beside me right now. Thank you for all the love and care given to him and the great pics and details. He is going to sleep well tonight. :)”
About: I grew up with two dogs and two cats and was one of their main caregivers. From feeding and walking to supervising and giving them plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My boyfriend and I now have our two-year-old boy, Whalon, who is truly family. We include him in everything — hikes, vacations, and everyday adventures. He’s our best friend and a huge part of our lives. I believe caring for an animal is a privilege. I take that responsibility seriously, and I do it with pride, patience, and genuine love. When your companion is with me, they’ll be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work for a school, so I’m up early and home at a reasonable time each day. This allows me to keep a consistent schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with family and my own dog, which means I have plenty of availability and flexibility. I truly enjoy incorporating animals into my everyday life — it never feels like a task, it’s something I love. I’m also big on communication and will always keep you updated so you feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. Whether caring for animals in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort always come first. Whalon is our top priority — he’s our pride and joy — and we’re constantly making sure he feels secure, happy, and well cared for. That same level of attention and love is exactly what I provide for your companion. We have a fenced yard where Whalon enjoys plenty of exercise and playtime when we’re not out on walks or hikes. I’m very mindful of routines, supervision, and creating a calm, positive environment so every animal feels at ease.
“Ingrida did an excellent job! Our puppy was worn out everyday from all the play time. She accommodated us at the last minute and sent pictures throughout the day with status updates. We will be using her again!”
About: I'm a stay at home mom who would love to give your pet a fun, safe place to be while you're away! I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10, everything from high energy herding dogs to disabled senior cats to newborn puppies. Since I'm able to be around all day, I can give your pet the full attention and care I know I want for my own when I'm away as well. If they stay with us, we have a nice fenced in backyard and our own very friendly dog they can play with as well. I also have a 1 year old with me at all times, which may be important to know. If your pet stays with us I will keep a very watchful eye/keep them separate if there's any doubt about your pet's comfortability with children around. On our end we've taught our child pet safety from day 1 with our own dog, so we have never had a problem. For walks and drop-in visits, he will be in a carrier on my back. So excited to meet you and your pet! I'm a stay at home mom so I am very flexible with my daily routine and am able to give lots of time to your loved one! I have a nice fenced in yard and a very friendly medium-energy dog that yours can play with if they'd like. I'm very used to following specific feeding instructions, giving medication, etc.,. Whatever care and attention your pet needs, you can trust that they will get it here! I also love to send update photos! I know how nice it is to see that my guy is doing well when I'm away so I'd love to give you that peace of mind as well!
“I can’t thank enough Neelank and his wife to take so much good care of Snoopy on Thanksgiving. Snoopy was spoiled all day, had a blast outside and indoor with their 2 dogs Porter & Oliver. Neelank and his wife were very flexible for the drop-off/pick-up time at their place. They have sent me a lot of pictures from Snoopy playing and having such a good time. I definitely recommend them as a 5 stars daycare. Thank you so much for caring for Snoopy like he was your own dog !”
“Laina was amazing! She took my dog in last minute and was super friendly and easy to work with. My pup was well cared for and happy when I picked em up. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog boarder.”
“Super happy with our experience with Esha and Vineeth. Esha always replied promptly which was so reassuring. I also loved getting regular picture updates throughout the day. Our doggo was taken outside for breaks which was awesome, and she was super flexible with pick up and drop off times. Miko was so well cared for - we will definitely be booking again! 😊”
“We needed a sitter for Leo, pretty much last minute, Penny was flexible and prompt to respond. She took such good care of Leo, he came back home happy and enthusiastic. I would definitely rebook with her.”

Danielle is a PRO! We are so grateful for her care of our 10-year-old pup who had so much fun with the other pups. We loved getting updates and she went above and beyond with videos and photos that let us know our pup was doing well. The video of her getting ALL dogs to sit in place was amazing (our pup was sadly the one uncooperative one 😄) and showed how well Danielle knows each pup she takes, and that she is in control. We're thankful Rover has someone with dog training expertise like Danielle, and so glad to have met someone we trust for our dog!
Albino took exception care of our little Theo! It was the first time leaving him since we adopted him and from the moment we met her, we knew our puppy was in good hands! Sent photos during the day amd even gave us a little picture when we took him home! We definitely have a sitter for life!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Naperville on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of September 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 Naperville 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 3,769 sitters in Naperville, 87% 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.
