“Great experience with Ethel. We came in from out of town to watch a Red Stars game and she took care of our bernedoodle, Frankie. Ethel’s place is a very short way from SeatGeek Stadium and Frankie came back to us happy.”
“Phyllis and Greg, are wonderful dog sitters! They have a lot of experience with dogs and a beautiful park right out front of their house that the dogs walk in. Sugar loved it there and was so happy to see them at her first return visit.”
“Our dog loved her time with Ashley. She felt 100% at home which was very important to me. I tried a pet store doggy day care previously and it was overwhelming to my dog, she was not happy when I picked her up. When I picked her up from Ashley she was so happy and I could tell she had a great day. Ashley sent pictures. was very responsive, and she was very accommodating. I will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
“Suzy was so wonderful with coco. She was great about updates and sending lots of pictures! Her pup and coco became fast friends!! I highly recommend using Suzie for your doggie too!!”
“Amy took such great care of my dog! He was so tired from playing with her puppy, he went right to sleep when I got him home. It was nice to have him burn off all that energy by playing All Day. He also gets to socialize with her kids which is great. I'm so excited to take him back!”
“Elizabeth was very nice, she updated me and sent me a pic of my puppy while she took care of him. It sounded like my pup Oso had a great time with her son Leo. I would book her again.”
“Jill and Nick have a very nice home. They were gracious to accommodate my last minute booking. Chago enjoyed his stay and we highly recommend them. Will use again when in the area.”
“Lauren was the most amazing host to our puppy! She has a beautiful home and is a total joy to communicate with. Thank you for making our lives so easy and being so flexible with our timing!”
“Laina is an amazing sitter! She knows animals very well and shows them lots of love. She provides updates with pictures throughout the day. She was available to us on short notice and was very flexible with scheduling. Our dog really enjoyed spending time with her and her dogs! Highly recommend to others! We will definitely re-book!”
“I got my buddy last June 20th and out of the blue I got a trip out of the state for three days...so hard to decide whom could be the one to provide good care of a vizsla that not even you know enough...well, Mr Ken did that and even went beyond that! My hyper dog was incredible happy with him and even learned some orders that didn't knew before. He sent to me pics and videos while I was out and even gave " Pavarotti " his favorite toy during staying with him. So highly recommend! I do take care of human beings in the oncology and renal unit of Aurora Condell Hospital in Libertyville and believe is easy for me to recognize expertise in a care giver. Ken is a Pro! Ah! This guy is bilingual with Spanish as a second language!”
“We are very thankful Ingrida agreed to watch our 3 month old Dachshund pup at the last minute! He seemed to be happy and calm when we picked him up, and smelling fresh too. We brought him back to her for a few hours the next day and he was happy to see her again. Thanks Ingrida!”
“I leave my baby papas with Susseth at 6am every morning and pick him up after work at 4:30pm. Having my baby in daycare instead at home alone gives me so much peace of mind. Susseth takes great care of him, I’m leaving to Orlando for a week and I completely trust her. Papas comes home with not a scratch on him and with an empty bladder. Thank you Susseth for everything!!!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care our puppy received during his first stay with Ashley. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt confident that he was in great hands. I received frequent updates and adorable pictures and videos throughout the day, which really put our minds at ease. The activities she planned were perfect for keeping him engaged and learning. When I picked him up, he was happy and completely worn out from all the fun! We will definitely be booking with Ashley again. Highly recommend!”
“Second time benefiting from Christina’s care of our doodle and the third experience is already booked! So much peace of mind knowing our pup is in good hands. Thanks Christina and fam!”
About: I've owned and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a little girl. From birds, to cats and dogs, to horses, and even snakes, big or small I love em all! I'm a travel bartender that works different music festivals all across the country. Now that season has come to a close, I couldn't think of a better way to fill my newly empty schedule than caring for your furry loved ones! I have one cat and one dog who is kennel trained. I walk my dog a minimum of twice a day in my quaint suburban neighborhood and my cat is very good with other animals.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. At the age of 18 I started to watch family friends dogs in their homes while house sitting and they relied on me to keep everything going. I am a mom to twins we had a dog but it was older. We are not ready for another dog yet but I need doggies in my life. I am an event planner full time but when I am working events my wife helps out with the dogs. Dogs in our home is like a therapy to both our kids that have social anxiety and sensory needs. I have a large fenced in yard and an open house so your dog can run free. I am willing to crate your dog if needed or to your liking. My parents dog loves to come visit if your dog loves play dates.
“Michelle was great!! I feel so lucky to have found her on the site!! She went above and beyond, sending me pictures and updates throughout the day. Also, she was willing and patient to work with my dog even though she is still a puppy. I truly felt relieved to know she was in Michelle's hands! I will definitely be using her services again.”

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 Palisades 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 3,867 sitters in Palisades, 87% 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.
