“Finley is super responsive. We booked a last minute daycare date, and Finley was great with reaching out with any questions. We also received videos and pics which is much appreciated! Thanks Finley!”
“I’m so glad I found Noor and her family! They’re very sweet and Mocha had a great time with them in her short stay. I’ll definitely be booking for longer stays! Very trustworthy sitter! ❤️ THANK YOU NOOR! 🙏🏼”
“Claire is a standout. She communicates timely and effectively, is polite and professional, organized and most importantly she is incredible with dogs. Claire documented walks including duration, route and distance, and meals including time, amount of food eaten by each dog. Her feedback on my dogs' personality traits was spot on as well, demonstrating her care and attention. I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone in need of a trustworthy sitter. THANK YOU, CLAIRE!”
“Sarah accommodated my daycare request at short notice and I couldn’t be happier to have chosen her! Both my little pups have special needs and she put me at ease with her communication and multiple photo updates. She was very thorough with understanding their care and I will absolutely use her services again next time we’re in town. Highly recommend if you are looking for a professional pet lover! Thank you, Sarah!”
“We could not ask for a better first experience. Tanya took excellent care of our new puppy. From potty breaks to play times she was there with him sending updates and pics. We were able to enjoy our night knowing he was in good hands. Thanks again.”
“Elva is a great person and helped me care for my dog who has IVDD and has some special needs. She spoke with me on the phone and text several times to discuss how to care for my dog. She is a genuinely caring person and I am thankful for her help!”
“I am so blessed to have found her not far from home to watch over my 13 months old high energy puppy. After the first dog sitter he came to crash in his crate. He had no energy to not even jump. As first time dog owner- I have no idea what I’m doing but Jackie sure is a dog whisperer.”
“Janessa was absolutely amazing! Her communication to understand my dog prior made me feel so comfortable, and the attentiveness/updates while Berkeley was at her home made me feel so reassured and trusting. Janessa’s home is the perfect place for your doggo to spend time at - I absolutely recommend you choose Janessa for your fur-paninis’ needs!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life! From neighbors to friends/family! It’s my favorite and brings me so much happiness! That’s why I currently own two small dogs. Im currently a stay at home mom and would love to host some different pups! My two schnauzers love making friends. It would be awesome for everyone! I walk my dogs multiple times a day and take them to my local dog park! I’m home so I’m able to focus all my attention on your little one.
“Gabriela was great. Easy to communicate with and was very patient with a gentle nature which is exactly what our anxious pup needed. Sent us pictures and message to assure us everything was going ok.”
“It was Ari’s first time “out” since we adopted him 2 months ago, plus he is definitely a leash reactive dog. Do needles to say - I worried a lot. Diana was wonderful. Everything was great. She texted me and sent a video, she comforted Ari when he was missing me and I could see that he developed a trust. I am really grateful and would definitely use Diana’s services again.”
“Rabbina is great! She and her family take good care of my dog, keep him entertained, and go on great walks! Her dog Ollie is so friendly, even to my dog who isn’t as friendly with other dogs.”
“Paula is phenomenal. My dog Molly had a blast with her. Molly is very dog selective but got along with Choclo very well. Molly also loved Paula and her mom. I got many videos and photos throughout the day and updated on how everyone is getting along. We will 100% be returning to hang out with Paula and Choclo.”
About: I have cared for and owned dogs since I was 10 years old. As of this past year I also cared for my senior dog giving daily medication (oral and topical). I am a mostly stay at home mom. I work 2 hours a day during the school year otherwise I am home and available to care for your pet! We currently do not have any pets in our home. We have a large fenced in yard and I can also take your pet on multiple walks during the day.
“Naomi & Johann took wonderful care of Javy. I made a last minute, same day request and they came thru. I knew immediately upon dropping Javy off that he would be in good hands. They introduced Javy to their dog, Milo, expertly and they were both affectionate with Javy right away. She sent photos and a video and I could tell Javy was very comfortable & happy. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: What truly sets us apart is the genuine love and attention we give every pet, treating them as if they were our own. Caring for animals has been part of my life since childhood, from dogs and cats to rabbits. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and (of course) snuggle their pets, knowing they’d be cared for with patience and kindness. Because I work from home, your pet is never alone. They receive constant companionship, supervision, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m attentive and experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need play and structure to senior pets who deserve extra comfort, gentleness, and care. For added peace of mind and convenience, we’re located just minutes from O’Hare Airport with easy access to the Metra train, making drop-off and pick-up simple for frequent travelers and busy pet parents alike. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need dependable care close to home, your pet will be safe, loved, and well looked after here. Since I work from home, your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day, they’ll never feel lonely here! I have a fenced in yard with cameras and we will always monitor while pets are outside. I am a lifelong animal lovers and have cared for pets my entire life, including dogs, cats, and even rabbits. While I don’t currently have pets of my own, I’d love to open my home and heart to your fur baby and treat them like part of the family.

Nelia took incredible care of Chester! She was so responsive and kept me updated throughout his stay with her. She created a playful environment and took him on several long walks in her beautiful neighborhood. She was truly excited to take care of him. He can't wait to stay with Nelia again. I know your dog will love her too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Niles on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Niles 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 3,746 sitters in Niles, 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.
