“I felt so relieved to leave our doggie Whiskey with Susan and her husband. They gave him so much love and attention. She sent us so many pictures of how he was doing and his daily activities. She walked him, played with him and gave him all the love I could ever ask for. We felt so great leaving our doggie baby with her and have already planned another trip in the spring and have it booked. Im so happy I found her on Rover”
“Where do I start.. Beyonka and her daughter where absolutely amazing with our boy Benjamin ❤️ Sending daily pictures for us to view while away really eased our minds knowing our dog was well taken care of. He exercised daily and even went for a car ride around town. Exceded my expectations and would highly recommend!! A million thanks, will be in touch for next time!”
“Last minute trip out of town and Keith was able to watch our dog. Very professional. Discussed her routine and likes/dislikes to make sure she was as comfortable as possible. Very flexible on pickup time, which saved us a trip. We will use him again without hesitation. Thanks Keith!”
“Lily's visit with Nibha was exactly what I had hoped for! She, her husband, their two sweet dogs, and their home were very welcoming to both of us. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future. Thank you, Nibha!”
“Katie and Tim were absolutely wonderful. I got regular updates with pictures and they followed all of the directions with handling my dog. When I came to get him he was so happy and didn’t seem to want to leave. I would definitely use them again in the future!!!”
“My dogs love staying at Miss Danielle's! She gives them lots of snuggles and playtime in the backyard. They always come home exhausted for about the next 24 hours after I bring them home! I'm glad we have someone we trust with our fur babys when we're out of town.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life! I've owned dogs for as long as I can remember and have been pet sitting since I was just 7 years old. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love, and I enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Although I don't currently have pets of my own because I own a mobile bookstore and am sometimes out of town at events, I absolutely love welcoming furry guests into my home! Visiting dogs have plenty of room to run, explore, and play in my spacious, half-acre yard with a secure 6-foot fence. There's even an inground pool that some of my canine visitors love to enjoy with direct supervision! Inside, there are plenty of comfortable spots to relax, including a beautiful, sunny bay window that's always been a favorite lounging spot for visiting cats. I work remotely and am home approximately 90% of the time, allowing me to provide lots of attention, companionship, playtime, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. Whether your pet loves outdoor adventures, playing fetch, or curling up for a cozy nap, I want them to feel completely at home. I am the sole caretaker for all pets booked through my Rover profile and personally handle all feeding, walks, supervision, and other pet care responsibilities. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. You can expect regular photos, updates, and peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands! I can't wait to meet your four-legged best friend! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and am home about 90% of the time. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether they enjoy active play in our large fenced yard, relaxing in a sunny spot by the bay window, or simply having someone nearby while they nap, they’ll have plenty of attention and supervision. Our family enjoys spending time outdoors and at home, so visiting pets become part of our daily activities and receive lots of love and interaction. Evenings are typically quiet and family-focused, making them a great time for cuddles, relaxation, and settling into a comfortable routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. In our home, pets are treated like family members and are supervised throughout the day since I work remotely and am home most of the time. We have a secure half-acre yard with a 6-foot fence, providing plenty of space for safe outdoor play and exercise. All outdoor time is supervised, and I always follow each pet owner’s preferences regarding activity levels, feeding schedules, routines, and house rules. Inside, pets have access to comfortable living spaces where they can relax, play, or nap. I take time to help new pets feel comfortable and adjust at their own pace. Whether your pet is energetic and social or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe and at home. Communication is important to me, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos during your pet’s stay. I understand that every pet is a beloved family member, and I care for them with the same attention, patience, and love that I would want for my own.
“Felicia is amazing. She basically accepted to board our dog pretty much last minute for the weekend. She sent pics and a video of him too. We will definitely be boarding him with her again soon.”
“My dog Rylee had a great two nights with Tracy. Loves having other dogs to play with. She also loves the home environment much better than a boarding facility. Tracy will be my first choice anytime I need boarding for my pup.”
“Leaving my boy with Maggie and her family is what I truly hope anyone can receive from a sitter when leaving their pups. He was very well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Renae was very flexible with my pick-up and drop-off times and is very knowledgeable! Rex had a great time playing with Renae's dogs and I could tell he really enjoyed his weekend. I also appreciated all the time she spent with him at the park!”
“Vanessa is great! We can tell Molly had a great time in her care!! Knowing Molly was safe, had a proper care, and enjoyed companion in Vanessa’s house while we’re on a trip give us peace of mind. We will definitely book her boarding again!!”
“Rabia and her family did an excellent job of taking care of Archie, my golden retriever. They are so caring and loving! Rabia was very accommodating to a last minute change in schedule and very attentive, giving us frequent updates. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs reassurance their pet is being well looked after with so much love!”
“This was the first time we've left our dogs with someone and we're definitely glad it was with Shannon. They were very well taken care and happy when we picked them up. Shannon stayed in daily contact and sent photos and videos of our fur babies enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend Shannon and plan on rebooking when we take our next vacation.”
“Melvin enjoyed his time with Marisol. She kept me up to date with texts and photos. She also purchased optional food when Melvin wasn’t eating his regular food which had never happened before. I’ll use her services again in the future.”
“She was so great at watching our puppy! Her dogs showed our puppy how to ring bells to use the potty which was a huge help as we were potty training her. She sent pictures and updates of our puppy, and always answered the messages we sent! 10/10 I would have her watch our puppy again and recommend her personally to other puppy parents!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Somonauk
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 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.
96% of sitters in Somonauk 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 Somonauk 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 Somonauk.
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 Somonauk. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Somonauk 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.
