“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”
“This is the second time Vicki has watched Marty. Marty feels comfortable there and never comes back anxious. Vicki is a great communicator, responds quickly and is very flexible! Another great experience, we are very appreciative!”
“So happy to have found Marta. The Meet and Greet was great, it was comforting to know that Kenzie would be in an environment similar to home, which is exactly what I was looking for. I used Marta for daycare a few days and it was so sweet to receive updates and pics. I already rebooked Kenzie for boarding!”
“My dog Toby had the best time in Thea’s care. He really enjoyed going there and was happy to meet and socialize with Osiris and Chester, his big brothers. We are definitely be booking with Thea again. Thank you:)”
“If you need training sessions or boarding for your furry loved ones- look no further!! Yesterday we had our first training session with Bob and I am blown away! My big girl, Zya, is extremely dog reactive and within the first hour she was able to calmly be around other dogs for the first time in years!! I had tears in my eyes. His yard is amazing and his home is so welcoming that if I ever need to board my two for a few days I will definitely be booking him for that too. Bob, thank you so much and I am so looking forward to learning more from you.”
“Daphne had a fabulous time with Svitlana! I was somewhat of a nervous wreck since my dog was attacked a few months ago by another dog and Svitlana was attentive to our needs and made sure Daphne still had a great time! HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Michael was prompt and professional; yet a very friendly, warm and welcoming person. Daisy took to him immediately. I appreciated the photos. And, from the photos, I could tell that Daisy was well cared for and loved. Thank you, Mike, for your loving care of Daisy.”
About: I am detailed oriented and conscientious and will make sure your dog receives special care under a watchful eye. I have spent most of my life caring first for my two children, and more recently my 6 year old wheaten terrier, Teddy. My dog Teddy loves having company and would like to meet your dog. I have a large in fenced backyard where furry friends and run and play and get daily exercise. I will make sure your dog is appropriaty fed, walked, cleaned, taken potty and loved. I also like to provide message and picture updates via texts to give owners a piece of mind. Please let me know if you have any questions or special requests that I might be able to accommodate.

About: My journey with Rover began approximately 8 years ago and it's been a delight to meet and care for furry babies when their parents were in need of a responisible and trusted caretaker. At that time, my Lola, was just as excited to befriend and play with pals. As my Lola grew older, she developed medical issues and my attention and all the time I could give,was directed only towards her. Therefore, I took a pause to spend time with her and give her all I could. Her time, to join the rest of angel friends, came on December 17th, 2025. I came back to Rover simply because I miss the company of the most pure soul and my best friend of 13 years. I know how important it is to leave your pet in good care, cater to your best friend just as your own family and hope to meet them soon.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Prospect Heights
Mike was very gentle and caring with my sweet sensitive dog Penny for a day of doggie daycare in his home. She was struggling emotionally due to our recent relocation from out of state and being separated from me during my workdays at my new job. The big doggie daycares were too much commotion and not enough human interaction for her. Mike provided a quiet, caring and safe space in his home with plenty of attention and support for Penny. He sent pictures and texted updates during the day. He walked her several times as requested. Plus he was available last minute when another person cancelled on us. I am so grateful for Mike’s flexibility and support which gave me great peace of mind. I absolutely recommend him to others and will be back for sure!
Melina was great with day care for our little Guy! Our pitty is 2 months old, and we were anxious about leaving him. Melina was amazing about updates, sending pictures, and letting us know if he seemed a little off. She cuddled and play with him like he was her own pup! He was very well taken care of. Will definitely be booking 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 Prospect Heights 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 3,743 sitters in Prospect Heights, 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.
