“Both my 6.5-year-old Vizsla and my 3-month old Vizsla LOVE going to stay with Chris and her family. My older guy starts to shake and jump with excitement when we turn on her street, and I was worried about leaving our new puppy at home; however, with Chris' excellent love and care, they both did great. Can't recommend her enough!”

“I am confident that there is no other dog caregiver in this world who cares for dogs as much as Thea does. After several successful daycare experiences, we tried boarding with Thea for the first time. Chester's first boarding experience was undoubtedly excellent. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for Thea, who always provides an even better experience than we could have imagined.”
“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”
“Winnie had a great time playing with Loki! I got photo updates and it was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. So easy, will definitely book again!”
“Jeff and Ron took care of our standard, 4 1/2 year old Bernedoodle. It was our first time leaving her and we were cautious in who we chose to care for her. Jeff. And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway. Jeff’s friendly demeanor with us and our pup put our minds at ease. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands!”
“This was our puppy’s first time being away from us and Connie helped it go smoothly! She was great at sending a couple pictures while we were away, and when we picked him up, he was clearly very happy and comfortable in her home. She’s warm and welcoming.”

“We are always a bit nervous about boarding our dog due to his separation anxiety, but Vicki was amazing! Communication was smooth, transparent, and responsive from start to finish. She was personable and flexible,. Our dog had opportunity to socialize with similar dogs, and daily photo updates of him playing, eating, or resting gave us peace of mind. We’re so grateful for Vicki’s excellent care and highly recommend her!”
“Tammy was the best taking care of Vinnie!! She was available last minute when I couldn’t get anyone else to sit him and was very responsive, which I really appreciate. Vinnie got to play with the other dogs at the house and run off some energy. Will definitely be using Tammy again!!”

Stephanie and her husband were wonderful! We were away for a few days, and Kona was so well taken care of. Stephanie sent us lots of updates, pictures, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kona also had a great time playing with their dog, Leon, and they even took her to the farmers market! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would absolutely recommend Stephanie. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Maggie and her kids were very empathetic to our dog when he was afraid during thunderstorms. She quickly responded to our messages and sent us frequent updates and pictures of our dog. She has a great yard and place for the dogs to run around. She treated Teddy like a family member. Thank you Maggie!
Moose loved his time with Rhondarose! It was clear during our meet & greet that she is very knowledgeable & experienced - we're lucky we found her! She provided loving care, excellent communication with many daily pics, and lots of playtime & snuggles. Moose had a GI issue and she knew exactly how to care for him & keep us updated. Rhondarose is a rare find & we will definitely board with her again. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Moose!
Cindy and her family took such good care of Aslan this past week! They so graciously accepted Aslan even when they had just gotten a brand new puppy, so Aslan got to play big brother for a whole week! Cindy sent me so many pictures and videos everyday! I picked up a very happy and tired pup at the end of our trip! Great family to trust with your dog!!
Ellie and her husband watched Kody for 5 nights at their house, and this was the first time I'd been away from Kody for more than about a 12 hour stretch. I was pretty anxious about it but Kody was comfortable around them from the very start. Ellie gave me updates once per day and by the second day, Kody seemed to feel at home with her which was a huge weight off my mind. She was also very accommodating of his/our routine and she did everything she could to allow Kody to feel comfortable during his stay with her. I'd book with her again in a heartbeat!
We couldn't be happier with the care Upasana provided for our Shih Tzu, Coffee. She went above and beyond to understand his specific needs and daily schedule. Getting regular updates and pictures throughout the stay really set our minds at ease. Plus, her dog Jason is sweet and proved to be the perfect playmate for Coffee! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter and will definitely be repeat clients.
This was our third time booking with Paola, and once again she was amazing! She’s incredibly accommodating, has great communication, and sent lots of photos and videos throughout Leia’s stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Leia absolutely loves Paola and her cat, Khalil, and it’s clear she feels right at home. Paola also keeps a very clean and tidy home. We couldn’t recommend her more and will be booking with her again. Thank you Paola and Khalil!

There are 5,472 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Arlington Heights. About 91% of Arlington Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
