“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.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Michelle! She took such great care of our Mini Aussie. Michelle was incredibly communicative throughout the day, sent plenty of photos and updates, and made us feel completely at ease. It was obvious that she is experienced, caring, and truly loves dogs. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely be booking with Michelle again. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was GREAT! We set up a meet and great, which went great! Katie was super communicative and sent us a lot of pictures! We definitely felt like our dog was in good hands and had a great time!”

“I can’t thank enough Neelank and his wife to take so much good care of Snoopy on Thanksgiving. Snoopy was spoiled all day, had a blast outside and indoor with their 2 dogs Porter & Oliver. Neelank and his wife were very flexible for the drop-off/pick-up time at their place. They have sent me a lot of pictures from Snoopy playing and having such a good time. I definitely recommend them as a 5 stars daycare. Thank you so much for caring for Snoopy like he was your own dog !”

“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!!!”
About: I’ve raised two animals from 4 months old, so I understand the patience, consistency, and energy animals need. I’m experienced with basic commands, crate training, and potty training. I treat every pet like family and focus on building trust with both the animal and their owner. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or reinforcing good behavior, I bring calm, reliable care to every visit. I work a hybrid schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable care throughout most of the week. I'm available during early mornings, lunch breaks, evenings, and weekends, so I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, or playtime. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I enjoy the companionship and love making time for it. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I stay consistent with feeding, walking, playing, and potty schedules, and always clean up after your pets. I respect your home as if it were my own, and I always make sure doors are secure and your pet gets plenty of love and attention while you're away.
“Laina was amazing! She took my dog in last minute and was super friendly and easy to work with. My pup was well cared for and happy when I picked em up. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog boarder.”
“Skyler had a wonderful stay with Lina and didn’t want to leave! Lina was very accommodating, especially with our last-minute booking. We’d definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks again!”
“This was the first time we used Destiny, and we’re very happy with how well she treated Ottis on his visit. He immediately made himself at home, cuddled up to her and went to sleep! That’s the strongest endorsement I can give! Also, she was a pleasure to deal with. We had plans in the city and didn’t know exactly when we’d be back, and she was very accommodating to our schedule to pick him up. We’ll definitely use her again the next time we have plans and can’t take the Fur Baby with us!”

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 3,739 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.
