“Our two dogs love staying with Angela. Her love for dogs is obvious as she treats them like they are her own. Angela sends lots of pictures and lets us know how they’re doing during their stay. We have used Angela’s services several times and will continue to do so in the future!”
“Kim was wonderful sitter for Pepper. Pepper loves being at her place. The pictures and videos made us feel so happy knowing Pepper is being taken care well and look so happy. We definitely will book pepper again. Thank you Kim, you treated Pepper kike your own dog.”
“Byron and wife Martha are the best sitters for dog Noki! Byron keeps me posted with pictures of my Noki comfortable in there home. That really gives me and my husband a peace of mine when we are traveling without him. Thank you for making him feel at home.”
“Elisa is charming and knows about caring for older and smaller dogs. She immediately understood what my very old mini dachshund needs, and was patient and gentle. Elisa is equally great with people - very likable and trustworthy.”
About: Hello! My name is Jordan. I have been freelance dog walking and pet sitting for a decade now. Beyond that, I have also volunteered at many animal shelters and have owned many pets. This is, by far, the most enjoyable and rewarding job I’ve ever had. My hours are flexible, and I'm more than comfortable playing, walking, administering medicine, and working with your dog's dietary needs. Walks and daily playtime/activity will be provided. Working with animals is a passion of mine, and it’s something I put my heart and soul into. I know how important pets are, so I will treat yours like my own, with love, patience, and care. :) I’m currently working part time, and I usually work online. This gives me a lot of time to spend with your dog/cat to make him or her comfortable and keep them engaged and entertained. I treat every dog like they are my own; I want your dog to feel cared for and comfortable while you are away. Rather than have it be a stressful time, I’d like to make it a vacation for your pet as well.
“Carla helped took care of my dog for a month. She is very accommodating and helpful if you need anything. We missed our dog very much so it was nice to see all the pics and videos that Carla sent everyday and know that our dog was in good care Thank you Carla!”
“JoAnne is the best! She provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. Ralph had a blast with the whole family and was spoiled with Hunny play time and snuggles. We will continue to come back to JoAnne as long as she provides the service. Thank you!”
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve had the joy of raising two dogs from puppies, giving me firsthand experience with everything from potty training and basic training to the high energy and patience that young dogs require. I have been dog sitting for friends & family in Michigan & Illinois for 3 years now. In my professional life, I’m an Occupational Therapist who works with older adults. I regularly help residents safely care for and enjoy time with their beloved pets, so I’m experienced in recognizing changes in behavior, adapting to individual needs, and providing calm, attentive care. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. Because I’m young and active, I love getting outside for walks, playtime, and adventures that help energetic dogs stay happy and engaged. Whether your pup wants a long walk, a game of fetch, or just lots of cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own, so you can feel confident they’re safe, loved, and having a great time while you’re away! I work a normal 9-5 Monday-Friday. Therefore I prefer to do Friday afternoon-Sunday evening stays! This way I am available 24/7 for the pet. I have a fenced in yard (that is also dig proof). I currently have one very friendly dog who would be eager to any pups companion. My dog is allowed on furniture/in beds. We have a lot of sidewalks & trails within our neighborhood for walks. I have multiple security cameras.
“We used Rover for the first time and booked with Melody. She was great with Dunder during our meet and greet but I was still super nervous to leave him over our Christmas break. She provided daily updates, pictures, and was super responsive when I would check in on him. Recommend her if you need pet sitter.”
“My dogs just love Deirdre she is the best sitter we've ever had. I would highly recommend her.!!! Even my older dog who is sometimes shy around strangers warm dried up to her, and my dogs felt completely at home at her place. She's fabulous.!!”
About: Bella’s Journey Pet care was born from my 16 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog from puppyhood to her senior years. This lifelong journey taught me the joys and challenges of nurturing a pet through every stage of life—from playful puppy antics to managing the unique needs of an aging pet, including mobility support, medication, and gentle care. My deep understanding of pet behavior and health means I provide patient, compassionate, and personalized care for your beloved dog. I’m dedicated to treating your pets like family, supporting their happiness and well-being. Bella has crossed the rainbow bridge, but her Mom has plenty of love to share! We were also very blessed to own and care for three horses over a period of 15 years. Much larger scale than your beloved family remember. But an added layer of comfort knowing we are equipped for small and larger responsibilities! My background in holistic approaches to pet care will also offer you and your pet ease of mind. My schedule is flexible to match that or my clients needs. In your home. Or mine if I do not have an in home overnight on the schedule. Reliable, caring in-home pet sitter providing attentive, stress-free care, feeding, walks, medication, and companionship, ensuring your pets stay comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.
“Tony was great with Archie. He sent photos and videos which I really liked to see. Archie looked like he really enjoyed himself. Would highly recommend Tony. Thanks again for having Archie in your home”
“I needed someone to watch my fur baby while we were moving and Allison and Jason were very accommodating on such a short notice. They also took great care of Halo and sent several updates daily. Halo enjoyed playing ball with their son and going on nice walks with the family. I look forward for Halo to visit again.”
“Juliana is such a nice lady and she treats Cooper really well. She sent me pictures once a while and Cooper seems happy in her house. She followed all the instructions I sent her due to Cooper's sensitive stomach, and Cooper ate well and slept well. I am happy to find a good Dog sitter!”
About: I have been a dog owner for 20 years, I currently have a Belgian Tervuren puppy who would love the company. I have 1/2 acre fenced in yard. I am home during the day and evening. Dogs can play outside or come inside if they would like. I would be happy to board your dog and make sure they are comfortable coming here. I work at home so pets would be not a problem as I can tend to them al all times. During the evening I can play with them and interact with the dogs so they feel comfortable. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard as well as security cameras so that I can monitor the yard at all times. The dogs love running around in my yard.
“Dolc’e loved Deanne. We were impressed that she messaged us several times with pictures while we were In Sicily. She allowed Dolc’è to sleep with her which made both of us happy. Definitely, a great caregiver. Highly recommend her for boarding your pet!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Round Lake Park
My dog had only been boarded once in her life and it wasn't a good experience so I was hesitant about leaving her again. However, Megan's house was a home away from home for her. There were dogs to play with, couches to sleep on come up and a yard to run around in. You could tell right away that Megan loves dogs. She also understood my worry about leaving Riley for a long period of time and sent us many messages, photos, and videos that showed how well she was doing. The next time I need boarding, I would definitely choose Megan.
This was another excellent experience with Kelsey. She consistently provides thoughtful, attentive care, and Daisy immediately relaxes as if she’s in her own home. The communication, updates, and warm environment make every stay stress‑free for us and enjoyable for Daisy. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Round Lake Park home-away-from-home, 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 Round Lake 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.
You and your Round Lake 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 , 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 .
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.
