“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.”
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.
“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.”
“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: I love all types of dogs! I grew up always having a dog in the family, and also have been caring for friends' and neighbors' dogs since childhood. I have experience handling larger dogs, and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible schedule and am able to work around caring for your dog as needed. My husband also works from home full time, so one of us will always be around to provide love and care. I have a fenced in backyard and two senior dogs who love to have visitors. They get along easily with most dogs, but we'd want to do a meet and greet to ensure everyone gets along well!
“Laura and Charlie are so welcoming! We felt super comfortable leaving Mugsy, our anxious dog, in their care. Definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a caring couple to look after your dog. It was nice getting pictures of Mugsy throughout the day.”
“1st impressions is everything. It was Friday and we needed a puppy sitter on Sunday for Kira. Our first time using Karina and she took our Kira with open arms and a smile. Taking care of Kira included not just feeding and potty breaks, but also socializing with her dogs and a couple of videos of play time. THATS LOVE! Highly recommend her for puppy/dog parents who want a pleasant experience for that special member in the family. When we took Kira home, she was so exhausted from the fun she had with the other dogs, she was asleep for the rest of the night.”
About: I have years of experience fostering and sitting kittens, puppies and adult dogs. Both my dogs have lived with all of the animals I’ve cared for and 3 additional dogs when we had a roommate. They do well with all personalities and age groups. Being around animals has given me much experience in cases of emergencies. I can recognize an emergency in time and act quickly but calmly. When house sitting I always search the closest pet emergency room or hospital in the area I am in. I don’t want to sound grime with all of the emergency talk but I am empathetic towards pet parents who have anxiety of leaving their babies with someone. My other main priority is that your pet experiences as little separation anxiety as well by keeping them happy and busy. I believe pets should receive the same love and care as a child. Im a stay at home mom my entire day revolves around babies. Every one demands constant attention and I’ve basically just accepted my fate lol. So I figured the more the marrier. We have so much hosting different babies Nala is especially excited to have a friend to play with she’s the star of the show and has become best friends with every dog she’s ever met within 5 mins. Nuki will be snoring on the couch but is very friendly and has no teeth. We have a pretty open layout with lots of room to run around or lounge on various doggie beds around the house I allow pets on the couch and in my bed and make sure everyone feels at home and included.
“Ruth has been very communicative & we could tell that she & her husband both care about the dogs she watches. Her home has a large dog run & Chase was returned to us stress free at pickup. I will be rebooking since we had such a good experience!”
About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how important patience, kindness, and attention are to their well-being. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking walks, playing, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the same love and attention I would give my own. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I moved to another country because of the war in my homeland, and spending time with animals has become especially meaningful to me, as I deeply miss the connection I had with them before. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. 😀
About: I am home full-time, live in an apartment with 1 adorable dog. Dogs have been a part of my family since I was a little girl. I think they are the most adorable creatures and I love their personalities. I like playing with them, teaching them tricks and just hugging them all the time. Your dog will feel like it's their home when they are with me. Hope to see your dog soon. Have a great day! About this sitter: Love Animals!

“It was Sunny’s first time at a sitter’s place and she was super nervous when we got there. Jonathon was great with her and she came back as happy as can be. Definitely will keep using Jonathon’s services. And he let us book last minute. Thank you!”
About: Hello, I'm a big animal lover. Life is always better with furry friends! I have pretty much always had a dog most of my life & always consider them family. I was lucky & got to be there when my former fur baby was born. Her mom let me massage her hips & tummy while in labor. It was her 1st litter & she was awesome!! She let me handle all 9 of the babies after she was done delivering so we could transfer all them to a clean bed & to help rotate at feeding time to ensure they all ate. All 9 survived & were healthy!! I was also a "doula" for my mom's cats pregnancy & she let me massage her tummy & handle her babies right away also. It's a blessing to see & be a part of. I would love to provide a safe and comfortable care for your pet while you are away. I used to have birds, cats, fish, been around reptiles & snakes, turtles, I worked at an eagle rapture center in Alaska which is where I'm from. I have a strong belief to only work in something you love so here I am. :-) Your pet will receive the same love & attention as if they were my own & provide plenty of pictures. Before I became a provider for Rover I used the service a few times myself & was very appreciative when I was given daily updates & pictures & want to provide the same for others. It truly meant a lot to me to get that so I know the importance. -Reliable, Safe, Comfortable w/ all animals -Wellness checks -Doggie daycare in your home-Rover doesn't allow me to add this feature/pricing-please ask for free quote -Pet Sitting -Pet Grooming -Walking/Running/Playtime -Pickup/Drop Off for Appointments -Training -Overnight care -Reiki/Massage for pets -I'm more than happy to help w/ some extra house cleaning (additional) so don't be afraid to ask.

“Cynthia did a great job caring for our dog. She was flexible and accommodating and went above and beyond. We were traveling thru town for 3 days and needed a dog sitter. We highly recommend her.”
“I almost wanted to gatekeep Nicky because he’s that good! He takes amazing care of my dog, Juno, and I never have to worry when he's with him. He’s reliable, caring, communicative, and it’s obvious he genuinely loves animals. Juno is always happy, relaxed, and excited to see him, which says everything. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pet, I can’t recommend Nicky enough”
“Sandra and Sorin took great care of our two dogs! One of our dogs is more anxious and they did wonderful with him. They were both super happy at the end of their stay. Will definitely use them again!”
“If you need training sessions or boarding for your furry loved ones- look no further!! Yesterday we had our first training session with Bob and I am blown away! My big girl, Zya, is extremely dog reactive and within the first hour she was able to calmly be around other dogs for the first time in years!! I had tears in my eyes. His yard is amazing and his home is so welcoming that if I ever need to board my two for a few days I will definitely be booking him for that too. Bob, thank you so much and I am so looking forward to learning more from you.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Niles
Thanks. Claire for taking such excellent care of Driver! Thanks for teaching him so much! We are really impressed with his future ability to communicate his need and wishes on a communication device. We are most excited by his socialization with the other dogs! Thanks so much!
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!
Jennifer took care of Luna for a full day of daycare, and it was such a great experience. She was a clear and responsive communicator throughout the day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She has a backyard, which Luna absolutely loved, and she sent photos that showed Luna having so much fun. It was clear Luna was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with Jennifer again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Niles is $44 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $65 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,695 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of IL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
