“Cindy & her family were absolutely amazing with my pup. I am really cautious about leaving my girl behind, but Cindy made me feel at ease immediately. I received many sweet photos and updates. Highly recommend!!!”
“Eileen is an absolute fantastic sitter. I called the week of and she squeezed us in for a meet and greet and took excellent care of my 10lb Onyx. He became like one of her own. He was fed well, played well and received tons of cuddles. Eileen was so attentive and communicative during my time away which allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I will definitely call her again.”
“Amanda was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my 3 yo Catahoula! She took such great care of her for the entire week and was incredibly kind and attentive. Amanda sent daily updates, which really put my mind at ease and let me see how happy my dog was. Her beagles were so sweet and playful, and my dog loved having friends to run around with in the yard. It was clear that Amanda truly cares about the dogs she watches and goes the extra mile to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the care she gave my pup and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Kyle was a great sitter for our cavapoo. He sent us pictures while we were away and kept us informed about what Buddy was doing and what he was feeling. We were smiling and laughing at Kyle's comments and at the pics he sent. We could enjoy our vacation knowing that Buddy is well taken care of. We will continue to book with Kyle anytime we are out of town. thank you so much!”
“First time experience with Michelle and a good one overall! Great communication and upfront about the experience. Appreciate Michelle’s willingness to give some extra support to our pup who took some warming up to boarding. Would definitely consider for future boarding.”
“Julie is amazing! We’ve used her twice now, and our dog has come home completely content, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Julie is reliable, communicates throughout the stay, and has such a loving presence that our pup certainly feels comfortable with her right away. It’s such a relief knowing he’s with someone who treats him like family. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely book with her again. HIGHLY recommend.”
“Michelle took great care of our dog. She is very organized, thorough and responsive. She has a lovely home and a very big and gentle dog who will make a great friend to any dog guest. She definitely spoiled our dog! Highly recommended.”
“Cecilia was so good to Gizmo. He can be a handful and is spoiled, but she stayed so patient with him. I get nervous leaving him with sitters, but she helped ease my nerves. Sent me photos, let me know how he was doing and kept in touch with me. Thank you so much again for caring for my little grumpy gills.”
“I highly recommend Olga for her pet sitting services. She took amazing care of our dog, Zoey. She played with her and took Zoey on a lot of walks (which she loves). Her communication was great- she sent daily video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind… Zoey looked like she was having the best time. We can’t wait to have Olga watch Zoey again!”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“Diana and her family are the absolute best!! Our pup has been at Diana's house during winter break for the past 3 years since he was a small puppy, and he gets so much love at her house. He even recognizes her house now and will pull me to her house when we arrive! I appreciate the pictures she sends and updates!”
“Sana is a caring and attentive sitter. Latte was very well taken care of during his stay. We could tell he was happy every day, especially getting to walk and play with his good friend Bella. Highly recommend!! 💕”
“Sitter was absolutely fantastic. Very responsive whenever I had a question. Is very knowledgeable about her craft in watching the dogs. Sent me constant updates to let me know when she fed, walked or gave meds to my dog. She has an extreme attention to detail. I mentioned the reason for the sitting and then she messaged us wishing the person a happy birthday and it was very heartfelt. All in all outstanding experience and will use again.”
“My dog Poppy loves staying with Mary and her family. Mary was also very flexible with pickup time when my travel got delayed which was so nice and took some of the stress of the delay away.”
About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!
“Allis made my outdoor-loving Beagle feel right at home! Every video and picture she sent showed my little girl having the time of her life. She is definitely my go-to sitter forALL of my work trips!!”
“My skiddish Golden doodle is always very comfortable with Christine. I know she is being treated well and cared for. Peace of mind when I can't take her with me. Thank you Christine!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Wilma and her family were amazing with Guy! He looked very happy when we picked him up. We know he was well taken care of. We hope to be able to have Guy visit them again soon.”

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.
Our pup had the best stay with Maggie! She sent pictures throughout the visit and when we picked him up he was happy and had clearly gotten a ton of love. Bonus - he was also tired from all the playing, so that was a big plus for us. Would definitely recommend Maggie.
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!
Our 7 year old lab with cancer was well taken care of for 4 days by the husband and wife duo. Me and family were able to relax and enjoy our vacation since we knew Sago was in safe caring hands. Prithvi was also kind enough to send pictures of Sago every day which eased our mind even more. Sago had a fun time with their dog Loki. We highly recommend.
Emily was awesome! She took special care of my cat. When she sent me videos, it warmed my heart to see him out and about and purring. He was even a little reticent to come home (I have a big, goofy, cat-chasing dog). She gave me such peace of mind for the nine days he was with her. I can’t thank her enough and recommend her highly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Arlington Heights on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
