“We had a great experience with Mike and Mary. Highly recommended. Our senior dog Kodi had a great stay and they depth us updated regularly. We would use them again for sure!”
“My girls loved their stay with D'Artagnan. Our American bully gets super anxious and new environments and he and his girlfriend were perfect at helping her feel calm and relaxed. Nike was also a great playmate for both of them! We will definitely book with them again!”
About: We have a half acre, fenced in yard. Perfect for zoomies and activity to make sure your dog is kept active and not cooped up all day. We work from home so we will be able to attend to the needs of your dog. They will be let out plenty of times to run around our fenced in back yard. We have two dogs, a labradoodle and a corgi who love to play. Our fenced in back yard is the perfect size to allow them to get a full exercise every day.
“Very engaged andcaring. Thank you!!”
“This was my first time boarding with Kent through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! He provided regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind. During Milo's stay, he developed an eye infection (something that occasionally happens due to his sensitive skin). Kent alerted me immediately, kept me informed throughout, and followed my instructions for administering first aid with great care. He was incredibly attentive and proactive, making sure Milo was comfortable and well taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend Kent to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was 13, developing a deep understanding of their needs and well-being. As a nurse, I bring the same level of dedication and attentiveness to my dog-sitting services, ensuring each pet receives the care and comfort they deserve. At home, I have a 4-year-old miniature schnauzer and a playful 2-year-old toddler, so I understand the importance of a safe and loving environment. Whether your dog needs companionship, exercise, or special attention, I provide reliable, compassionate care you can trust. Working from home allows me the flexibility to tailor my schedule to meet each dog’s needs. Whether your pet requires frequent walks, structured outdoor time, or a specific routine, I am available to provide the care and attention they need. I understand that every dog has different energy levels and habits, so I am happy to accommodate owner requests to ensure their pets feel comfortable, active, and well-cared for throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced backyard, I prioritize safety by always keeping dogs leashed during outdoor time. Whether going for a walk or spending time outside, I follow all necessary safety measures to ensure each pet’s well-being. I understand the importance of secure handling and will always adhere to owner preferences and best practices to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care.
About: It’s ‘ruff’ being a dog out here! I’ve been taking care of all breeds my whole life and I’m still learning to this day! I currently work at a doggy daycare and I’ve loved every second of getting to work with your furry friends! I work with a lot of fear aggressive dogs so being very patient and understanding with them goes a long way. I’ve formed so many unforgettable bonds with so many of them and the most rewarding part is being able to watch their personalities shine through! My hope is to open up my own business within a few years! I’m currently working a part-time job so my hours differ depending on the week and holidays. Despite that you can always message me with your own requests and we will always be able to figure something out! Since I work with dogs for a living my job allows me to bring mine with whenever I would like. I have two dogs currently, one is a 17 year old bichon the other is an 8 year old mini poodle mix. My older dog sleeps all day and is kept a very close eye on because she is both deaf and blind to prevent any injuries or accidents. She also requires several different medication‘s that I administer to her on a daily basis throughout the day. My younger dog is very energetic, loves people and is attached to my hip day in and day out. She has sever separation anxiety from me so she literally follows me like a lost puppy and goes everywhere with me. The two of them are spoiled, rotten to the core and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
“Sheri is amazing! She took wonderful care of my very needy Chorkie. She was so patient and flexible. Thank you so much for taking care of my baby!”
“Eileen is the best! She was great with our new puppy last week. Cookie had her very own vacation playing with all the dogs in Eileen’s care. I know she had a blast! Highly recommend Eileen! She really cares a lot about your precious pets.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

Palatine pet parents share their Rover experiences
We love Mary! She is so caring and kind. We feel so grateful to have her give care to our girl when we are away!
Laura has been such a great babysitter for our dogs. My older dog is almost 13 and Laura is so well-versed in handling senior dogs. We so appreciate her. My younger dog has blossomed while visiting Laura. She is a rescue so sometimes can be more to herself. But, Laura has really helped her open up. My schedule is a bit crazy and Laura has been so atuned to that. We are so happy to have found her.
Boris did an amazing job taking care of our 3 crazy dogs! He was very accommodating and allowed for my dog Marty to be added onto the reservation with my brother’s dogs. Boris provided me daily updates that helped ease my anxiety and assured that our dogs were in good hands. Would for sure book with him again! Thanks!
Rhondarose gave us multiple updates and pictures which was so great since this was the first time our pup was cared for outside of family. Cocco was able to run and play with other dogs and it was an easy transition with Rhondarose’s family. We are so grateful and already planned our next booking!
Liz was absolutely amazing. I had to leave my dog with her for a week and she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable the entire time. She kept us updated every day with texts and pictures so we never had to worry. She made sure he got plenty of playtime and even had a private place to sleep if he needed it. When we picked him up he was happier than ever. I highly recommend Liz because she truly cares and treats your dog like her own.
Mochi had a wonderful time at Sajeena’s, hanging out with her very well trained pets. We had an emergency and couldn’t pick up Mochi per schedule. Sajeena was extremely accommodating and flexible with our needs. Sajeena is a very responsible and caring pet sitter.
Pattie and Mike are our go to sitters for our big goofy goldendoodle. Chester has so much fun and always comes home exhausted and happy. I'm so grateful we found them, we never have to worry about our pup while we're gone, we know he is being well cared for. We love seeing all of his pictures of him having fun with his dog friends!
It seems like Lucy was well cared for while I was out of town this weekend. I received daily updates by text which are much appreciated. Thank you again, Leigh!
Cecilia is amazing!! She sent many updates and pictures. I could tell my pup had a good weekend☺️ will definitely be booking with Cecilia again!
We had such a great experience with Jenn! She sent us daily photos and videos of our English Labrador Naxos. He was having so much fun playing with the other pups, we joked he wouldn’t want to come home! The level of care Jenn provided went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did she handle pickup and drop-off, but she also brushed him and gave him a bath before bringing him home. As a special touch, she even prepared homemade bone broth for him after he tried and loved some that belonged to her own dog, Holly. We'll definitely be calling Jenn again next time we need a sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their pup! Thank you, Jenn, for taking such great care of Nax!
Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.
Erena is super friendly and kind. She took good care of my dog and make sure to send me updates daily on how he is doing. I would definitely recommend her to my loved ones if needed.
Audrea took great care of Rex and kept us well informed and sent lots of pictures! Thanks for being a great host!
Valentina was simply amazing! She took such good care of my little boy Apollo that he came home missing her. She was very accommodating, since my request was urgent. She saved the day while other sitters bailed on us last minute. She sent me pictures and/or videos of Apollo daily and I could tell he was having the best time in her care. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!
Champ had the best time yet again! Melissa took amazing care of Champ and had great communication. Champ adores their dog Maple so much! Thank you!!
Stephanie and Kevin took great care of Max! They sent us regular updates with photos and videos and Max looked always having a great time! We will definitely return for future stays.
Viktoriia is Always my first choice! She is knowledgeable about animals and truly cares about your pet. I know she is reliable and honest! I would recommend Viktoriia!
We loved having Anhelina care for Marco. She was prompt in responding. And Marco seemed to enjoy her company! We'll highly recommend her.
Bandit had a great time with Victoria. He was well cared for and Victoria gave us daily updates. We will definitely have Bandit stay with her again!
Dinara was really great. I cannot thank her enough for taking care of my cat. My cat Lissy is very shy and super indoor cat, and at times can be very antisocial. Dinara, did excellent job at making my cat as comfortable as she can be. I really appreciated her efforts and daily updates on my cat's status. Thank you again for all your care! 😊
