“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”
“Amber did such a wonderful job caring for my senior dog! She was incredibly attentive to all of the instructions I provided, including her medication schedule, feeding routine, and outdoor needs. She also sent thoughtful daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my pup was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention she provided. I would happily book with her again in the future!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Ginebra! She did an excellent job taking care of our dog and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was responsible, attentive, caring, and kept us updated throughout his stay. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like her own. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!”
“Susseth was awesome. This was our first time using her due to our regular sitter was on vacation during our trip. We loved all the pictures she sent of Murphy, and she was very easy to work with. We would definitely recommend her and certainly would use her in the future.”
“Christie and her husband are so wonderful with our golden doodle Nola. Nola loves to go over to stay with them. Christie is so easy to work with and I could not have found better caregivers for my precious pet.”
“I recently had the pleasure of booking Kendra for a last minute weekend stay for my favorite fur baby Rogue. Kendra got back to me rapidly after I requested to book and immediately set up a meet and greet session in an area convenient for the both of us. She has very good energy and her natural love and care for dogs showed right away in how she greeted Rogue. She was very clear on her instructions for the weekend stay and sent ample updates and pics to make sure we knew that Rogues was being well taken care of during her stay. I would definitely book Kendra again, and felt that she did a wonderful job taking care of our dog especially with such short notice.”
“Barbara was amazing! She kept me updated daily and sent a lot of pictures. My dog was so happy and well taken care of. I look forward to working with Barbara again!”
About: I've been a responsible dog owner the past decade and have cared for dogs collectively for 15 years total. I am highly observant of their behaviors, needs, health and different ways of communicating. I'm also a great communicator when it comes to responsiveness, sending daily photos and answering any questions. As a bonus, if you are flying out of town, we can provide a free parking space at our home and most likely drop you off and pick you up at either airport for a nominal additional fee to cover gas ($10 Midway, $20 O'Hare) to save you money on a ride share or taxi rate. I work from home and my wife is typically home from her job as a physician at a nearby hospital before 5 pm. I typically walk our two dogs once a day + let them play in our 1000 sqft fenced in dog run. We have two incredibly friendly dogs and two playful cats to keep yours company too. We have crates on each level of our home and can even keep your dog isolated (if you want) in a separate room with closed door, while still receiving exercise, attention and proper care.
“Jim was great with Philip! He sent photos and kept me updated throughout the stay. Jim’s home is very clean and organized. He played with Philip in his backyard and even invited his dad’s dog over to keep my boy company. The two got along well! Will certainly book again! Book with Jim!”
“Mark is the first person that we left our boy Rocky with. He was great at communication. Send us pictures of our dog. He has a very nice house took him for plenty of walks. Make sure he was fed really great guy and would definitely recommend.”

Rest assured, your pet will be treated with the same love and care I would give my own, providing you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I prioritize flexibility and consistency to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. Here’s how I incorporate pet sitting into my schedule: Daily Care: I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and playtime throughout the day, making sure your pet stays active and engaged. My schedule allows me to spend quality one-on-one time with pets to meet their exercise, companionship, and care needs.

Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”

We booked Desiree for a four day dog sitting stay and they were absolutely wonderful. Our dog Tucker was so happy, well fed and relaxed when we got home. Desiree communicated from start to finish. I highly recommend to all dog parents and would rebook with Desiree in a heartbeat.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Palos Park can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Palos Park home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Palos Park.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Palos Park. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Palos Park sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
