“Sitter was absolutely fantastic. Very responsive whenever I had a question. Is very knowledgeable about her craft in watching the dogs. Sent me constant updates to let me know when she fed, walked or gave meds to my dog. She has an extreme attention to detail. I mentioned the reason for the sitting and then she messaged us wishing the person a happy birthday and it was very heartfelt. All in all outstanding experience and will use again.”
“My dog, Ronin, had a great stay at Maricelas's. Maricela is very prompt on updates and such. She goes out of her way to reassure you that your dog is doing fine. Thank you, Maricela, for taking care of Ronin. Hope to do business again in the future.”
“Valentina was the absolute best. I had an emergency where my phone was stolen from me while I was out of town. I had to stay in that city for a few extra days and wasn’t able to communicate or contact her or Rover at all. She saved my life and my puppy’s life =) Such a trustworthy person and amazing dog caregiver. Can’t recommend her enough. 6 stars if possible!”
“I was very anxious about leaving my girls while I was on vacation. But Thomas and Kelly took great care of them and sent lots of pictures to ease my mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more since I knew my girls were in good hands.”
“Jason was awesome with my dog! He was communicative, honest and sent lots of pictures which I appreciated. He was also flexible since he kindly agreed to extend the stay when a family situation came up. We also recommended him to my mother in law and he is also taking care of their dog. We will definitely use Jason's services again in the future! Thank you, Jason!”
“During our pup's stay, Bonnie treated him just like one of her own! She sent us so many pictures during his stay and he always looked so happy, loved, and well taken care of. Thank you, Bonnie!”
About: I know how to make dogs comfortable and make them feel like they’re being taken care of well. Lots of treats they get from me I am free to watch dogs a lot during each day of the week. Any time of the day works for me as well to watch them I have a fenced in yard. I keep my basement closed so no dogs can go down there. Mostly on the main floor with me.
“David and Mary were great! They sent me pictures of how my dog Pluto was doing when I dropped him off on an extended stay of 9 days. I could tell that he was loved and had a very comfortable stay with David and Mary. Would definitely book with them again.”
“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“Lulu enjoyed her stay with Kira. Kira took Lulu on regular walks; played frisbee with her; and bought her a fun new toy. We could tell that Lulu was enjoying herself in the photos Kira sent. We are very glad that we found Kira and highly recommend her.”
“They took such great care of Abu! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures—they kept me in the loop the whole time. It was clear Abu was having the best time and felt really comfortable and welcomed.”
“Will was amazing with our dog! He met her before the weekend and instantly made our nervous puppy calm and trusting. She loved spending time with Will and was happy and tired when she came home. We will definitely rebook!”
“I'm always happy when D'Artagnan can watch for my little guy. I know he'll be cared for and have fun while I'm away! And I always get photo updates. 5 stars as usual!”
“Alyssa is amazing~ She answered all of my questions and sent plenty of photos and videos everyday while my puppy was with her. My 8 month old mini golden doodle had a blast while boarding with her!”
“Eileen was a wonderful sitter. She took excellent care of our dog, was flexible with Flora's needs and updated us daily with pictures and commentary. Would definitely ask Eileen to watch Flora again!”
“Katey was fantastic! Since our move from out of state this past year our dog has had a rough time adjusting and Katey was very understanding, flexible, and so helpful during his stay with her. She kept us posted on how he was doing and we felt so comfy having him stay with her. We definitely recommend and will use her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Schaumburg
Yenny was amazing. I left my rescue dog Ocean for the first time since I got her for two weeks with Yenny while I was away on vacation. She was always active on text and sent pictures and videos frequently. She took Ocean out on daily 2-3 mile walks, and her own dog was a great companion for mine. My dog loved her stay and Yenny was patient and great at helping her get accustomed to the new environment. Definitely recommend and will be going back for future boarding.
Julie and Mark were fantastic caretakers of our senior pup while we were out of town for a weekend! We are so grateful! Our dog takes a couple of medications and has a special diet. They were attentive to his schedule and patient with his anxiety. The daily updates and communication made us feel at ease. We highly recommend Julie and Mark!
Dave is exactly who we needed to take care of our Wrenny girl on our first weekend away. He provided photos and updates throughout the entire weekend. I was so impressed with his professionalism and love for dogs. You can really tell this is his passion! We will definitely use Dave again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!
This is our 2nd time leaving our Brownie with Allis. She is very attentive, professional yet playful and caring with our dog and also very responsive. From updates and pictures every day to quick messages back. We know he is in great hands when he is with her.

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 Schaumburg 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 Schaumburg 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 Schaumburg.
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 Schaumburg. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Schaumburg 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.
