“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Justine was extremely generous with her time and provided a safe and loving environment for our senior dog who is 15 years old and blind. I did not want our dog to be in a setting with too many other dogs which would make him nervous and on top of that he takes medications. This was a family style setting and Justine and her family treated my dog like family. That’s the best quality experience you could ask for.”
“Matthew and Michelle were wonderful! Our pup, who has never stayed with anyone but family in the past, felt right at home with their clan. They listened when I explained quirks specific to my dog. They were great at sharing status updates and photos, and are really just lovely people who love dogs. We will defiitely utilize their help again!”
“Valentina has watched our two senior pups several times. She is amazing! Valentina is kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. Our pups always get excited to see Valentina. You can tell how much she truly loves.dogs. One of our pups requires medication and special care. She always reviews medication and care information each visit. We never worry when our pups are with her. She cares for our pups as if they were her own. Our pups and family love Valentina!”
About: I love dogs and have been working with them for 11 years. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years and love caring for other animals while their family is away. I am a stay at home mom so I prefer to dog sit in my own home I work at an animal hospital in Wheaton, IL and I used to work at a doggie daycare so I know all about dog behavior and how to handle/control them. I also have a certificate in Dog CPR and a certificate for Veterinary Assistant work. I am comfortable with all breeds and dogs of all sizes. I dog sit frequently for a family with 3 dogs and 2 cats! I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. If you want a trustworthy dog sitter/walker who loves working with animals, you found her! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible!! I can do dog walks throughout the day and I can dog sit in my own home since I am home with my kids all day! I have a nice home with a huge fully fenced in yard to run around in. I do own a cat and I have 3 young kids who love playing with dogs!
“Melissa is amazing! She kept me updated daily and even sent pictures!! I felt at ease knowing my pup was been very well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kia absolutely had a great time with Kimberly and her family. I received photo’s and status reports during Kia’s stay. We will totally be a repeat customer!!”
“Linda and family are wonderful! We really enjoy our time away knowing our Lulu is being so well taken care of. She is happy and energetic when we drop her off and when we pick her up. 💜💜”
“Robert was great with my pup Maverick! He was able to watch him last minute for me, and would send me picture updates and let me know how he was doing, eating, and adjusting. Maverick got a lot of play time too and had a great time! I will definitely be using Robert again in the future!”
“took great care of my dog! Has a nice spot for dogs who enjoy walks and being outside. My dog seemed very comfortable in all the pictures from her stay! Good at communicating about dogs routine and needs to make sure everything was done well”
“We had a wonderful experience with Janeth! She sent me daily photos and updates, which gave our family so much peace of mind while we were away. From the pictures, it was obvious how much love and attention our dog was getting—there were hugs, kisses, playtime outside, and a very happy pup in every photo. What really stood out was her flexibility and kindness when our return flight was cancelled and rebooked for the next day due to weather. She graciously cared for our dog an extra day without hesitation. She even provided her door code so we could pick him up at a time that worked with our delayed travel schedule. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we never had to worry while we were gone. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!”
“Our pup had another great stay with Dez! We appreciate that Dez is always reliable, communicative, and takes great care of our dog. Our dog is an anxious pup but she’s always excited to see Dez!”
“Patricia took great care of Tess for us! She was very communicative and send lots of updates. Tess came home happy and healthy! We would definitely ask Patricia to help us with Tess again”
“This was Penny’s second stay with Tatiana. She is always professional, thoughtful, and responsive. She is great with our older girl, who is a little slower than she used to be and needs a little TLC. PS - thanks for all the belly rubs! Love the daily updates and photos! Thanks again for taking such great care of Penny. Will not hesitate to book again!”
“Ann is beyond kind and sweet, not just to animals, but people as well. She makes you feel at home & comfortable right when you meet her. Maggie & Sparky were very well cared for and had a great time while we were away. So grateful and happy to have found her. Thank you Ann!”
“Laurianne and Sven were amazing! They sent updates and pictures each day and I felt like my pup was in good hands the whole time. Will definitely be using them again on future trips!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
We had a wonderful experience! Maria took such great care of Archer and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after throughout his stay. She was also very accommodating when we needed to extend his boarding and even went out of her way to get food for him. We really appreciated the regular picture updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
I love my dog but he can be a jerk. Heather set up a meet and greet and it went really well. She provided excellent advice so when I left my dog with her he handled it well. She provided lots of attention to him and sent a video and pictures so I could see that he was content. I will definitely use her again if I get the opportunity!
Danielle is amazing. She is unbelievably kind and accommodating. I really just needed some daycare once, maybe twice, for my pup while moving, but I could tell off the bat she cares about every dog that comes through her door. I ended up doing a handful of daycare days and boarding him. I know my dog can be a pain. He is an anxious old boy and can be high-maintenance at times. I had such peace of mind sending my dog to her. She sent me photos and updates. The only downside is I didn’t find her sooner before moving away. I got to pick up a tired, happy boy every time. If I ever need to board my dog again, I will definitely be making the drive to send him to her!
Trinity was fantastic with Brutus! She was super responsive before the stay, flexible with drop-off time, and asked great questions about his temperament. Throughout the stay she sent photos and updates so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Brutus settled in quickly, loved his walks, and from what it sounds Brutus was totally obsessed with her squeaker toys. It's clear she genuinely enjoys the dogs she cares for. Highly recommend and we'll definitely book again!
Michelle and Erika did a wonderful job taking care of my black lab, BB! She was very comfortable there and I know she had loads of fun with their other dogs, as they sent me pictures and videos throughout the entire stay! BB seemed very happy when I came to pick her up, almost too happy like she didn’t want to leave her new friends behind! Thank you so so much again for taking BB in so last minute and taking such great care of her the week that I was gone! I highly recommend these two to take care of your fur babies! 💖
We just had our dog Frida stay with Iris for 6 days and could not be happier with the absolute best care Frida received. We are first timers with Rover and were a bit hesitant doing a service. Frida is an 8lb little dog and wanted someone who does one dog/family at a time and this is what Iris does. We were so happy to find this with Iris. Her whole family loved and cared for our Frida and we are so appreciative for this special and kind care. We 100% recommend Iris and definitely found a great pet sitter. Also, I like that Frida was never left alone the whole 6 days. I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home lol. Book with Iris!!!
Karin really came through for us and our pup on a last minute booking. After a meetup with her and her dog we determined that she would be a great fit to care for our little guy. Karin was responsive and sent photo updates regularly throughout the stay. This helped to put us at ease since it is a new puppy to us and a very young dog. Can’t recommend Karin enough and we are grateful to have found someone so close to us that we can hopefully use in the future! Thanks again!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Villa Park 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 Villa Park 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 Villa Park.
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 Villa Park. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Villa Park 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.
