About: I've been studying dog behavior for over 9 years. I also have experience as a veterinary receptionist and grooming assistant. I train pet dogs on good behavior as well as rehabilitation for fearful or aggressive dogs. Safety is my #1 concern. Every dog that comes into my home is treated like family, as I do my own dogs. I am blessed with a large house that has a separate living quarters for the boarding dogs and a big beautiful fenced yard. Both are kept clean and hazard free. I would love to host your dog and make sure you are worry free while you're away! I work with dogs as a career and am home full time. I have a daily routine that changes depending on what dogs I have. Each dog gets fed once or twice, a day depending on owner preference. For medical or dietary reasons feeding can me more or less frequent. Any medications needed will be given. Each dog gets back yard exercise daily. Of course they get plenty of love! 🐾 Saftey and cleanliness are my top concerns. My home is clean and hazard free. I am "puppy proof" and always vigilant. I have accommodations and experience working with aggressive or reactive dogs and can also accommodate/work with kennel anxitey. I am able to keep dogs separate from my personal dogs if needed. Dogs that are friendly will be able to socialize/play with my very well tempered pack, depending on owner preference. I have a fenced yard and there are no gaps or ways to get out. I can also accommodate jumpers using a long recall leash!
“Max had a wonderful time spending the day with Roger and his two dogs. Roger provided many pictures and a great summary of Max's time spent there. Highly recommend.”
“Sara is the best dog sitter you could ask for. She is honest, kind, sweet with the dogs and very competent. My dogs are so excited to go to Sara’s and come home nice and tired. She sends videos and pictures throughout the day. She always notifies you if any issues arise and handles them appropriately. I highly recommend her.”
“Jameson had a wonderful play date with other dogs at Kathleen’s. He is a bit tired the day after. I also noticed he was more accepting, less riled, by other dogs on our walk this morning. A couple dogs barked at him and he did not bark back.”

“Awesome experience! Kimberly was very quick to respond to my request, and schedule a meet/greet. Louis is typically shy at the start, however Kimberly provided great updates during the day as he warmed up. At pick up, Louis was running around all over with her two dogs. Thank you Kim, appreciate you and the warm care you gave Louis!”

“Giedre was wonderful with my 12 week old puppy Izzy. She is very responsive and sent us pictures all day. She is knowledgeable and experienced in caring pets. She has good fenced backyard. I highly recommend Giedre and would definitely go back again.”
About: I've had dogs since I was 6 — growing up with a Doberman, a boxer, then Labs. My last lab, Niner, was a rescue we brought home at 4 and cared for until he was 11. He had neurological issues, and I even made him custom shoes to help him walk. That kind of hands-on, patient care is second nature to me. Now I have Leo and Loki, my two 5-year-old dogs, and I understand the specific needs of large breeds — energy, exercise, and attention to health. That said, big or small, every dog gets the same level of care and attention. Your dog won't just be watched, they'll be truly cared for, the way I've cared for my own for over 30 years. I work from home in a computer-based 8-to-5 job, so I'm around all day — which means your dog isn't just squeezed into a quick before-and-after-work window, but gets company and check-ins throughout the day too. I walk my own two dogs twice daily, morning and evening, so pet care is already part of my daily rhythm. Weekdays offer steady, built-in availability, and weekends open up even more for longer walks and playtime. Your dog will have a large fenced yard to romp around in, plus my two friendly, well-socialized dogs, Leo and Loki, to keep them company. For rainy/snow days I have a large empty basement to play in and run around in. Since I work from home, I'm around throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, and check-ins — not just a quick visit in and out. My dogs are 5 years old and easygoing with other dogs, so your fur baby will feel right at home in a safe, social environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oswego
Jennifer was absolutely amazing with Maverick! As a new puppy dad, trusting someone with your little guy is a huge deal, and she completely exceeded expectations. She kept me updated, gave him so much love and attention, and treated him like he was her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands while I was away. Maverick came home happy, well cared for, and clearly adored. I genuinely couldn’t recommend Jennifer more highly — if you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly great with dogs, she’s the one.
Jackie loved her first time with Sara. Jackie is a senior toy poodle with a collapse trachea and separation anxiety and Sara went at her pace sending me lots of pics through out Jackie’s time of being there. She has a great time relaxing on the couching watching the younger dogs play. She cannot wait for her next day with her new friends:

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 Oswego 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.
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 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 Meet & Greet .
