She walked us through her house , how she handles the dog , and was so patient with us and answered all our questions. Oscar had a blast and can't wait to book her again!”

“Janette was really great with my dog who suffers from separation anxiety. She was always very patient and kind and I always felt like she truly cares. Even though my dogs nerves caused him to have accidents, Janette took it in stride and did her best to make him comfortable. She even introduced my dog to her cats, which he hasn't been around, and noted that he did extremely well around his new friends. I have no doubt that with more time, my dog will grow to love Jannette and will definitely use her again.”
“Jesus answered my early morning request and was able to accommodate us while visiting the city. My dog seemed happy and I appreciated the picture and communication. Will definitely use him again!”
“Iman is the absolute best. She has really been a blessing to Gigi and I, there aren’t enough good things to say about her, and I always see that my Gigi is well taken care of when I arrive to pick her up. Thank you Iman, 😊❤️”
“Very pleasant and flexible. They took my pup on walks and sent pictures. The children seemed to love my dog as well. There may be other dogs on property at the same time in case that's an issue for your dog.”

About: Dogs aren’t just my job—they’re my passion and my lifestyle. I dedicate my life to understanding canine behavior and providing every dog with safe, structured, and individualized care. I have experience working with all types of dogs, from energetic puppies to seniors, as well as reactive, fearful, and behaviorally challenging dogs. I also train high-drive working breeds, so I’m comfortable handling dogs that require advanced structure, confidence, and clear communication. Every dog in my care is treated like family while receiving consistent routines, exercise, mental enrichment, and plenty of attention. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind. Whether your dog loves to play, needs a calm environment, or benefits from structured guidance, I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I’m available seven days a week with flexible scheduling. I typically only require at least 24 hours’ notice to ensure I can provide the best care and accommodate your dog’s needs. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to work with your schedule. Safety and structure are my top priorities. Every dog receives personalized care based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. For active dogs, I offer walks, structured play, mental enrichment, obstacle work, and appropriate exercise. I also have a dog-powered slat mill for conditioning experienced dogs when appropriate and with the owner’s approval. Dogs have access to a secure, fully fenced area and safe kennel accommodations when resting or during supervised rotations. If you’re interested in training, I also offer structured training programs for an additional fee. Training can include leash manners, obedience, confidence building, engagement, and customized goals based on your dog’s needs. Each training dog follows a consistent daily routine designed to encourage good habits while keeping the experience positive and rewarding. My goal is to provide a safe, enriching, and well-structured environment where every dog receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve.
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my Bear. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable and cared for while I was away. Lauren kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter—reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for someone to treat their pet like family!”
“Noel was amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone during the day. He was so excited to see her every morning. We cannot recommend Noel enough. Will be using her in the future!!!!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Steger
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,986 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Steger. 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 Steger 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 2,986 sitters in Steger, 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.
