Heather took such great care of my girls! She responded quickly, sent lots of updates and the pups were good and tired when I picked them up. I will definitely be getting in touch with her next time I stay in Kenosha!

Martha and Byron are amazing! They took excellent care of Tango and Lily. As soon as I dropped them off, Tango was taken for a walk and Lily roamed free around the house and yard. Throughout the day I received multiple updates with pictures. Martha and Byron knew Tango loves carrots and they provided that for him. Both dogs were entertained and enjoyed their time with Martha, Byron, and their three sons. When we got home, Tango and Lily were so tired that they passed out right away! Exactly what I was hoping for - happy dog = a tired dog 😀 Thank you both for providing such a fun and loving environment for my dogs. We will be back!!

About: Hi! I'm Valeria, a freelance designer and proud parent of two mid-sized adopted dogs, aged 6 and 7 years. I adore caring for animals and find true happiness in their company. My dogs bring so many wonderful moments to my life, and I deeply understand the importance of giving them the attention and care they need. I'm also passionate about all sizes of dogs and cats.

Brianna has been such a blessing for our 6 month old mini-dachshund, Murphy! She is helping us to continuously socialize him with other dogs, cats, and kids…You can feel her passion and positive energy and can tell she loves what she does IMMEDIATELY when you meet her! Not only is Murphy happy and excited to spend time with her and her family but she sends us pictures of all the positive interactions and moments they have during the day! 6 out of 5 stars!

Sunshine and family were so awesome! We have a senior dog who's a little particular and she made him really comfortable. We got lots of cute update pics and pickup and drop-off were smooth & easy. We are from out of state and couldn't meet ahead of time so we really appreciated the warmth and care that Sunshine showed to us and our pup.

Megan is friendly, very good with observations and feedback, shares photos and updates throughout the day. Her home is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. Seeing her post on Rover and after our first visit to meet our dogs, it was easy to trust her with our two dogs. They were immediately happy and calm at her home.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Tommy received ! From the moment we arrived, Swagata made us feel welcome and at ease. Tommy can be a little shy at first, but he warmed up quickly thanks to the friendly and attentive caregiver. Throughout the day, I received photo updates showing Tommy playing, lounging , and getting lots of love. It was clear he was having a blast and felt completely safe and comfortable. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap — always a sign of a fun-filled day! I’m so grateful to have found a place where Tommy is treated like family. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Swagata, for taking such great care of my boy!

Jordan is an excellent dog sitter! She is very responsible and took care of our 4 month old Cavapoo like he was her own. Her house is very neat and clean and her yard is big. Churro got along so well with her 4 year old dog, Benji. We highly recommend Jordan and look forward to Churro staying with her when we are on vacation soon!

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner and animal lover for many years. My dog, Chase, was diagnosed with cancer at age 11, and I cared from him through the very end of his journey until he passed away at 12. Caring for him taught me patience, compassion, attention to detail, and the importance of treating every pet like family. In addition to caring for Chase, I’ve pet sat for family and friends for years, with many dogs staying in my home for two weeks or more at a time. I understand that every pet has unique routines, personalities and needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Because I work from home, pets in my care are rarely left alone. On the occasional errand or appointment, I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Providing peace of mind for both pets and their owners is very important to me. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own fur baby. Whether you’re looking for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care like family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Why pet parents choose me: • Work from home, providing frequent supervision •Experience with extended pet stays •Comfortable following special routines and care instructions •Dedicated to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and loved •Regular updates and communication for owners •Treat every pet like family I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide frequent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Pets in my care are rarely left alone and become part of my daily routine. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s schedule, exercise needs, feeding routine, and personality. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a midday walk, or simply a comforting presence, I am happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, and I will follow your care instructions closely. Because I work from home, I can monitor pets throughout the day and provide plenty of attention and companionship. On the rare occasion that I need to step out, I use pet cameras to keep an eye on them and ensure they remain safe and comfortable. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets are treated like family, and I’ll keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Russell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 929 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Russell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Russell 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 929 sitters in Russell, 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.
