About: I spent my whole life caring for dogs and raising puppies. I have experience training dogs and have never had a bad relationship with any dog. I have a beautiful home with a fenced yard and many nearby parks. Very active- young married couple just looking to hang out with some dogs! I spend most of my time at my corporate marketing job working from home and have a lot of flexibility in terms of my hours. My wife and I are both huge animal people. Ever seen that movie "All Dogs Go to Heaven"? Let's just say it's one of my favorite films- ever. So. I am currently 100% remote with a very flexible schedule and devote all my time to my furry friends. My wife works part time in the office and part time from home so we always have at least 1 person with the dogs at all times. I have a fenced yard and two very friendly easy going pups. I can absolutely crate your dog for bed time etc if needed, though mine are not crated.
“Aaron was completley Amazing! My pup truly enjoyed his stay. Aaron was able to maintain our schedule so that my pup could succeed at toilet training, eating his meals at appropriate times, napping, and play time. Aaron was extremely attentive, and Prince had so much fun playing and hanging out with another dog one day, and also experiencing Aaron's affection. When I picked Prince up, he didn't want to leave. Aaron. Prince truly bonded with Aaron. It's nice to have someone you completely trust with your pet.”
About: What sets me apart for other sitters is that I have them enjoy their walks at their own pace. In my years of experience, I have not only taken care of dogs but also cats just to name a few. Every animal is unique in their own way so being kind goes a long way. I like to have the owners as well as the dogs comfortable with me so I obtain as much information from the owners regarding their furry friends as I can. I am currently free to play, drop-in or bring your furry baby home with me. Whatever your pets needs are, I am here to help. I have a big backyard where I normally allow the dogs to run and play. But it does not have a fence in one area where the driveway begins. My home has two floors which the downstairs I use for the dogs to lay down, play or sleep. I do own a dog myself but she isn't allowed to interact with guests dogs unless previously approved by the guests parents first. I also have cameras, where I can capture video and photos to send to the pet parents.
About: I have over a decade of experience as a dog-dad and caregiver for pets of my family and friends. Having raised a large breed dog (100+ lbs), from energetic puppyhood to senior care, I understand the attention, routine, and deep patience required to keep pets safe, happy, and healthy. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant company and won't have to spend hours waiting alone! My daily routine has plenty of built-in flexibility for frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and interactive enrichment to keep their minds sharp and tails wagging. Whether they prefer a quick midday game of fetch or just curled up right next to my desk while I work, they’ll get all the attention and care they need throughout the day. Your pet's safety and your peace-of-mind are my highest priorities. I treat every animal in my care with the same caution I would give my own. My home features a fully fenced-in yard, allowing for safe off-leash outdoor play, sniffing, and potty breaks.
“Attentive and friendly. I felt really good about leaving my two dogs with her and she communicated very well throughout the whole process. I will definitely be requesting her again; she was so good to my dogs.”
“My puppy had sooo much fun he came home & took the longest nap. i received so much updates and pictures which made me feel so at ease! I 100% recommend You bring your Doggy with E!”
“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”
About: I had a rescue dog and took care of him for several years. I also took care of my mom’s senior dog who had vision and bladder control issues. I have dog and cat sit for friends with many different breeds and sizes. I grew up with two cats in my household and am comfortable caring for them. I enjoy being around cats just as much as dogs. :) I make sure to carry out the instructions owners leave for me and am meticulous about keeping their place and pet as clean as possible. I love to play with and take pets for long walks or to the park. I am available every week day from 9 am -9 pm except Thursdays from 4-9 pm. I am available all day Friday through Sunday. I have had dogs in my home before and am comfortable with any kind of care they need. I can put them in a crate or leave them out of a crate for overnights. I will also take them for walks around the neighborhood or let them run around in the yard. I am happy to play fetch or throw toys for them. I will make sure they get food, water, and medicine at their regularly scheduled times.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a very young. I have experience pet sitting neighbors, family, and friends pups and cats. I’m attentive and will respond all questions, happily providing updates throughout your booking. I have owned two Great Danes and two miniature doxxies; I love dogs in all sizes! I’m also experienced with taking care of cats and love them as well :) I’m currently working part time from home, choosing my own hours so I have the ability to prioritize your pet’s needs. Pet care is something I’m truly passionate about and I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own. I have a mile long walking trail along my apartment property and a fenced in dog park on property. I can easily crate your dog if necessary and have a crate large enough for a Great Dane. I will happily abide by your instructions as you know your pet best!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
Angelina has been amazing! Our boy is so happy and Angelina is so communicative throughout the day, and has made this process so easy. I was definitely a little anxious about Opie going to a new daycare but Angelina has relieved all of that worry. We will definitely be using her in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Emilia! She was incredibly kind, communicative and took great care of our pup during daycare. We appreciated the picture updates throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind to let us see how much fun our pup was having. It was clear he was happy and well cared for the entire time. We will book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,700 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Summit. 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 Summit 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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,700 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of IL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
