“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog, Chief! She took great care of him while we were away and kept us updated so we knew he was doing well. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s very kind, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“Maria did an outstanding job caring for Spinx during his boarding from October 24–26. She sent me photos while he was with her, which put me at ease, and it was clear how much she cares about the pets in her care. As a retired educator, I especially appreciate someone dependable, caring, and thoughtful. I couldn’t be more pleased with Maria’s care, and I will definitely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable boarding for their dog.”
“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“A true life saver! We attempted to keep our dog at a pet friendly hotel while we went to a concert, but Noodle decided she was going to let the hotel guests know how much she missed us by barking. We thought for sure we'd have to listen to the concert from the parking lot or just not go all together. Kathy responded very quickly, super nice and accommodating . Thank you again!”
“Ken and his family were awesome with our Sasha! Super easy to book.. actually the while process was super easy! Sasha’s happy she made some new friends.. and I’m happy I found our new ”go-to” sitter for our random weekend getaways!”
“Freya was absolutely amazing with my hound Darcy. Apart from being a dog lover and providing me updates of her while I was away, she gave my girl huge amounts of attention and even walks twice a day! Darcy came home totally exhausted 🥰 She’s the best! Book with her !!!”
“Laina is AMAZING! I felt so comfortable leaving our pup with her and her husband Bill. It’s such a relief to know that June will be loved and cared for as if she were home with us anytime we’re away.”
“Grace was so wonderful and absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so flexible when I wanted to set up a meet and greet with her dog. She sent regular updates over our stay, pictures, and videos. Arya had so much fun playing with Bella and being able to relax afterward. I felt that my dog was safe and Grace was easily contactable whenever I messaged her. I will definitely be reaching out to Grace again whenever I need a sitter for my dog and I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Daisy was awesome! I felt so comfortable leaving my fur baby Copper with her! She kept me updated with the sweetest pictures of him during his stay with her! I would definitely have her watch Copper again!”
“My wife and I recently rescued a puppy after making travel plans months earlier. Because our puppy Sophie was still too young for full vaccinations, we were not able to board her with a doggy daycare, and we didn’t have any friends or family available to care for her during our trip. We used Rover to find Teresa, and were grateful that we did. We met with her about 2 weeks before our trip, so she and our puppy could meet. The first meeting went well, and we were confident with our choice to have her take care our puppy during that visit. While Teresa had Sophie, she sent us regular updates, photos, and video of her playing and being happy. She helped reinforce the commands that were working on and assisted with continued leash and potty training. Sophie had a great time with Teresa, her dog Ollie, and grand-dog Dunkin. We are very happy with our experience and extremely grateful to Teresa. We will absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs this kind of boarding service, and will definitely reach out to Teresa again in the future! Thanks for everything!”
“So happy to write this ruffview. Had a wonderful time Vanessa and her family while my family went on vacation without me :( It is Ok, I met new friends and was given so much TLC I'm kind of missing it I was taken care of and we sent selfies to my family every day so they could see that I was having fun. I recommend my friend Vanessa to all pets looking for a safe fun place to visit. Archie the pug”
“Another worry free experience with Wayne. Extremely professional and organized. Daily photos and updates. Thanks again for this somewhat last minute booking- we appreciate it!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Lenox
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Beth! From the moment we arrived, she was so warm, sweet, and welcoming. Her home is wonderful, with plenty of room for the dogs to roam and a beautiful, spacious fenced backyard. Our sweet Luna Lou had the best time with her new playmates, Gracie and Honey Pie! Luna came home happy and clearly very well cared for, which means everything to us. Finding someone you truly trust with your beloved pet isn’t always easy, and we feel so fortunate to have found Beth. She’s such a kind and caring person, and her home is the perfect environment for our little girl. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Luna in her care again. I think Luna Lou has found her home away from home! ❤️🐾

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.
94% of sitters in New Lenox 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 New Lenox 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 New Lenox.
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 New Lenox. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 New Lenox 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.
