“Deijah L took good care of my dog Nikko it was his first time in a long time that he’s been away and I can tell he enjoyed his time there. When I picked him up he was calm and content . Deijah was super sweet and sent me pictures of him during his stay and gave me an overall review of his time there at pick up.”
“My Shih Tzu, Coco had his first visit with Erica and her family. He was very excited to meet them and he had a great time. I got photos that reassured me he was happy and didn't seem to show any of the separation anxiety he has had. I'm happy to recommend Erica and Ricardo to all and I am definitely adding them to my list of fave Rover people.”
“Emily was a great sitter. She was super easy to work with. She had a great backyard setup. Our pup, Bandit, loves water and Emily had a doggy pool all set up for him. Would book with Emily again.”

“Ruben was amazing to help me with a last minute request for my senior dog who loss the use of his legs the day before. His kindness was very appreciative.”
“Luciano & Luciene took excellent care of my 2 Cavaliers, Charlie and Sammy. They went on 3 walks in nearby parks and my dogs love to walk. Luciene sent pictures and a video for me to enjoy and ease any concerns. I do not leave my pups very often but I am vacationing in Sarasota for the month and wanted some time to enjoy some sites. I felt completely comfortable leaving pups with this sweet family and plan to again very soon.”
“Amie and her family were great! They were able to accommodate our last-minute request, which was so awesome, and we realize it wasn't a given. They were warm and inviting. Satchel clearly felt comfortable right away as he tried to get into their home. Their dog was super sweet and ADORABLE and got along well with our dog. We got cute photos throughout the day with updates. Satchel was pooped when we picked him up and looked like a happy dog. Oh, and their kiddo was super sweet and asked for Satchel to come back. That was super special!”
About: •I grew up with cats and dogs in the family all my life. I have experience with various breeds from rottweiler to dachshunds. I have volunteered in a couple of cat rescue and shelters. I currently care for a cat colony and use the income from Rover to feed them and TNR them. I also use this income on medical needs for the cat I adopted from the colony. He had to retire from the streets due to FIV and is now the apple of my eye. I would love to extend my excess of joy, love, and care to your furry family members. Being a walker and sitter has been the best JOB (Joy Of Being) I have ever had. • I kindly ask that requests for bookings and questions be between the hours of 8am and 8pm. I want to be well rested so I can care for everyone’s fur baby’s and able to reply promptly to all of you. I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for your business. I am a stage actor and painter looking for small jobs I can do in between shows and rehearsals. I look forward to the extra exercise as well. In my home my cat has access to the whole house. We have cat beds, litter boxes, cat trees, and water bowls on every floor. When I visit someone else's home I follow what they would like done.
“Aaron was completley Amazing! My pup truly enjoyed his stay. Aaron was able to maintain our schedule so that my pup could succeed at toilet training, eating his meals at appropriate times, napping, and play time. Aaron was extremely attentive, and Prince had so much fun playing and hanging out with another dog one day, and also experiencing Aaron's affection. When I picked Prince up, he didn't want to leave. Aaron. Prince truly bonded with Aaron. It's nice to have someone you completely trust with your pet.”

Nicole and Malchom are amazing. I would give them 100 stars out of 5 if I could. They are so kind and friendly. They take the time to understand your dogs needs and wants and takes care of them accordingly. Their kids love Fionn and Fionn loves them. I would highly recommend booking with them they have a great house with a fenced yard in a quiet location. Thank you again!

If I could give 100 stars. Lucy is the absolute best ever. I had a last minute change to my schedule and she accommodated me the morning of. She & her wonderful family have been taking care of my sweet baby Coraline for 3 years…and I don’t know what I would have done without them. Cora loves Lucy and all though I am moving away from Chicago, I will always bring Cora by to her second family when we are back in town! 💕💕💕💕💕 honestly, the best of all time. Thank you all so much for caring my baby
Aaron was so helpful with watching our dog before our son’s birthday party! He was professional, friendly, and clearly a dog person (has a great calm energy around our pup). She warmed right up to him and I was grateful he was thoughtful enough to swing by and grab her day of vs us having to take her to him. We would def recommend Aaron and are looking forward to using him in the future!
Louie had a fun visit to Michelle's house and was able to play with two other dogs. Her son was home and took them all for a walk and shared pictures. It was exactly what I was looking for, a great way for my dog to be social with others, in an open safe place. This was my first use of Rover, and I'm glad it was with Michelle.
As a nurse I work 12 hour shifts, and I had to work 5 days in a row. Needless to say I was depleted and stressed. It meant so much to me to know Haku was getting the attention and love he deserves. Every day when he came home, he had already pottied and was ready for bed! Samantha and her family are wonderful, I am so grateful

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Oak Park 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 Oak Park 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 3,763 sitters in Oak Park, 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.
