“Kristina was absolutely fantastic. This was the first time we used a sitter for our little guy and Kristina made sure he was comfortable and gave him enough time to adjust. She was very flexible with timings as well.”
“Thank you Pattie for taking such good care of Pudge! Your home was truly his home away from home! I'll be working from home now permanently, but will keep you in mind for vacations. Thank you again!”
“Stephanie did a great job taking care of my puppy, Elsa! She was accommodating to the needs of a young puppy, and it’s nice that she has her own dog, Mochi, to help with socialization. Stephanie had great communication prior to the booking and consistent updates during the day of. It was my first time leaving Elsa with a sitter, but Stephanie was a great choice. I would definitely recommend and book again in the future!”
“Sana was the best sitter anyone can ask for their furbaby. She kept me informed throughout the day how my Simba was doing with videos and messages. I am beyond grateful for her attention to my Simba.”
About: I am currently a grad school student trying to spread the love for our 4 legged friends one walk at a time! I currently have my own dog that I have had for 2 years that I adore and know how hard it can get when you need to be away from your pet for longer than wanted but have no fear because I will give your pet all the love, adoration, tail wags, and more while you’re away for a bit! I have also taken care of all different types of pets (dogs, cats, bunnies) for family and friends growing up, including walking, boarding, feeding, and bathing. As an all around pet lover, I would love to treat your own dog like family and give them everything that need until you come back. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Hope to hear from you soon :) As of now, I am available weekends! I am free Friday’s after 3pm but other than that, I’m am free all day throughout the weekend. (Updated: 3/30/25) I have a very friendly dog in my household, but can be easily separated from your pet easily if needed. Crating also can be done if necessary. For safety, you will be given 1-2 hour updates (or more!) of the status of your pet also.
About: We are passionate animal lovers who share our home with our cat, Butter, and our dog, Fancy. Raising and training our high-energy puppy has given us firsthand experience with the importance of enrichment, exercise, socialization, and positive reinforcement. I grew up around dogs of all sizes and personalities, and together we provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment for every pet in our care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or a little extra attention, we’ll treat them like family and ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. I maintain a clean, safe environment and provide regular updates with photos. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to detail.
About: Hello! My name is Michele and I would love to take care of your dog. I have grown up with dogs for most of my life. I love animals of all kinds, and I understand how important it is for your furry friend to be treated like one of the family. I work as a teacher full-time, but I can be available as early as 4 and as late as 10 or 11 during the school year to make sure your dog gets the care he or she needs. During the summer, I am free anytime! I would be happy to dog-sit, take walks and/or runs, and, of course, play with your dog! I’m also available for care on weekends! I will ensure that your dog gets the best possible care and endless amounts of playtime!
About: I have had dogs most of my life. From my childhood dog to the ones I raised as an adult. I have potty-trained dogs to use a bell to indicate they have to go out, taught them to back away from table food, and to give up stolen items. I will treat your dog lovingly and as if they are my own. I am mostly retired and home the majority of the day. The dog will go no longer than 4 hours without a potty break, and most days it will be shorter than that. Your pet will be the only one in the house with me. I block off my stairs so the dog is always very close and mostly within eyesight.
“Oliwia so great with Nola. She was able to accommodate us and help me while I attended work. There was regular communication. Thank you and we will be sure bring Nola back sometime!”
About: We are a dog-less home since our dog passed about a year ago. I sure do love having visitors, and a dog to love while they are here with me! We adopted our dog 14 years ago at 5 months old, and for the past 10 years I have been very involved with fostering and volunteering for a local rescue. This has given me so much experience with many different dog personalities and helped me learn how to best introduce them to a new environment. I have so much more knowledge about dog behaviors in general since fostering. I have fostered 30+ dogs thus far, handled at adoption shows, transported dogs to vet visits and selected adopters for my fosters. I feel very qualified to give your dog all the care and love they need and deserve while you are away! I am home during the day, and I am very happy to have your dog here to love and spoil while they are in my care. Your dog will always have plenty of love and attention when they are with me, and their needs will always be met. When they are here they are family! I am retired and home all day. If your dog likes to sleep in a room with someone, they can either sleep on the bed with me or on their bed or in their crate in the same room with me We are in a townhome with a walkout patio. I love to spend time outside with the dogs, and they are always secure with a leash or tie out cable. I am always with them. We are very careful about doors opening, and people coming in and out. Your pet is safe with me.
“Tiago is a wonderful dog sitter. Our 7 month old bernedoodle puppy is very high energy and he is very patient and kind to her. He is obviously a dog lover. He is also very organized and always has all of her toys and stuff packed up at pick up time. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and Maggie loves going to visit him and his lovely family.”
“Giselle came in clutch last minute when I had a work debacle. Was very flexible during all the shifting of the dogs drop off time and I got the pups back good and tired! Which is the way I always want to get the dogs back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Schaumburg
Tina took excellent care of my cockapoo by walking him, feeding him and giving him medication. He loves praise, being petted and talked to. My little dog was having separation anxiety and each time I left my house I felt guilty. Now my dog is happy, plays with his dog friends, has people and animal companionship and eats and gets his medicine on-time. Tina is very loving and excellent with my baby! She puts on his two coats and boots before he goes outside in the snow. I definitely would recommend her!
David and his girlfriend were true dog whispers. I have a senior dog with separation anxiety from me. But they took care of her so well, we didn't have any issue and she loved her time there. They took so many photos (4-6 photos daily!) and shared updates to me very often. Highly highly recommended. Thank you so much for taking great care of Bori! ❤️
We had a wonderful experience with Angela. She was very kind, communicated quickly, and kept us updated with regular check-ins about our pup Stella. It was such a relief knowing our pup was well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a dependable sitter, and we’ll gladly book her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Schaumburg on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Schaumburg 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 3,889 sitters in Schaumburg, 86% 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.
