“Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
“My stella had a nice time staying with them. I received text each day telling me how the night went. Even when I came to pick her up they were on a walk with her. I will use there service again.”
“Unbelievable!!! I’ve been using Rover for quite some time now and this family…what can I say?? They were incredible!! I never expected to feel so much like part of the family and how they embraced Sergeant as part of theirs. They loved on him and he was one happy dog! Sergeant now has a new “Auntie”. I can’t say enough good about how they treated him. Obviously we will be using them again!”
“Brian and his family were great. They treated our fur ball with love and attention. Brian sent pictures and videos every day. It was great to see the dog enjoying his stay with Brian.”
“Beatrice was a life-saver! She took our dog Pixel on short notice and was great to coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. It was clear that she paid close attention and took great care of our pup; she sent sweet pictures of her each day, and returned her to us happy and exhausted after lots of walks and play time with other pups in Beatrice's care. We highly recommend this sitter (as well as her daughter Jazmin, the other Rover sitter at this house) - they're knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, conscious of dietary needs and other accommodations, and best of all, they're very active! Expect your dog to get lots of exercise, well-monitored socialization, and maybe even some scenic outdoor adventures! It's nice when your pet gets a vacation when you do!”
“Keith was great! Very organized and respectful of trying keep our dog comfortable and on her routine. He frequently updated us with videos and was great about keeping her active with playtime and walks. All in all a great experience and I’ll be looking to use Keith again in the future.”
“Chad and his wife were wonderful! This was our first time having them watch our high energy dog, and we will definitely be booking again! They took such great care of Finly - daily walks and even treat/ training time! We loved the regular updates, including photos and video throughout his stay. Thanks again, both! Finly so appreciated all of your care and play time!!”
“I honestly can’t thank Kathleen enough for watching my baby! She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend. I know my boy was loved. He played all weekend and was absolutely worn out after playing in Kathleen’s backyard all weekend. Aside from taking such great care of my boy, she was super flexible and understanding of my schedule. My plans had changed last minute and she ended up taking him a second night. We also got into town a little later than I thought and she was kind the entire time! Kathleen thank you so so much for making my weekend stress free and taking such amazing care of my fur baby!”
“Linda and George took amazing care of my pup. They sent update photos everyday and even took my pup out and about, which he loved every second of it! I would 1000% recommend them for any type of dog sitting and I know my pup can’t wait for the next trip back!”
“Patricia was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. She took very good care of our gentle giant, 7yr old golden doodle, and I would definitely seek to use her services again. She is awesome to work with. I would highly recommend.”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
“Dakota was so happy to be a part of Pennie’s home for the weekend. Pennie left numerous updates and pictures to give us peace of mind that all was well. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided!”
“Vanessa was awesome, Winston was clearly well loved and supported during his overnight stay. It’s always a relief when I can drop him off & not worry about anything 😊 will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have been taking care of all different types of animals since I was very young. My mom was a vet tech, she brought home animals to nurse back to health. We also fostered many animals. I found my love for animals then. Especially dogs and cats. I have had so many cats and dogs growing up its hard to keep count. I had had small, big and huge dogs in my lifetime. I have experience with dogs with anxiety and elderly dogs. I can administer oral medications. I have volunteered at shelters in the past. And I have also fostered dogs with several organizations. I have two dogs of my own that are both rescues. They both love all dogs and play very well with other dogs. Im a work from home dog mom. I am free for doggy daycare most days. I am also available for overnight stays and weekends. I am open to overnight stays during the week or weekends. My schedule is very flexible. My dogs are allowed on the bed and couches so your dog is too. If you dont allow that at your home I will do my best to keep your dog off of the furniture. Dogs must be spayed or neutered. I prefer your dog be microchipped and up to date on all vaccines.
“Morgan was awesome!! Communicated clearly, posted photos, and listened to/understood my specific requests with my pup’s personal needs. If you’re looking for someone that is reliable, responsible, and most importantly - trustworthy. You should reach out to Morgan!! Thank you again for taking care of Oakley while I was out of the country. I’ll absolutely be coming back again in the future!”
“Debbie and Reggie did a great job with my dog Jake. They were flexible with pick up time when my return flight was delayed and I found Jake happy and well cared for.

Sue was amazing! She sent picture and videos and multiple check in throughout the day letting me know how the dogs were doing. She was extremely understanding and attentive to all their needs. I was very anxious leaving them, but had nothing to worry about because they were in great hands!
Sue and Mark were the perfect people to leave our fur baby with for the week. Their home is so comfortable, and their large, beautiful fenced in yard is the perfect place for a dog to explore. Our pup received so much love and attention while he was there! We looked forward to all the pictures, videos, and updates we received everyday to see all of the fun adventures he was on. From walks in the forest preserve, trips to Silver Springs, and all the love and cuddles he enjoyed, we know he was one happy pup throughout his whole stay. Thank you Sue and Mark for taking such incredible care of Dodger! We truly appreciate it!

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 Somonauk 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 Somonauk.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Somonauk sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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.

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.
