“Balaji was very nice, our doggie Mocha had a great time. Balaji kept us updated with photos and videos. Balaji also has a dog with the same name Mocha and it seems both Mochas had great time, Balaji also took Mocha on a walk multiple times a day. We felt at ease knowing that Mocha was happy and comfortable. I higly recomend and would use Balaji’s services again in the future.”
“Melissa and her entire family were amazing with Champ! He was so spoiled the entire time and had such a blast with his new best friend, Maple. Melissa was super accommodating and also amazing at communicating with us the whole time. We got so many wonderful pictures too each day! Thank you!!!”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“Maggie and her family were wonderful with my dog! She kept me updated with photos and I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. My dog was treated like their own family! I will definitely be booking again.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Rocky! She treated him like he was part of her own family, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear from every message how much she genuinely cared about him. We never had to wonder how he was doing because she kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would gladly trust Sarah with Rocky again. Highly recommend!”
“Doug & Deb were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mae! They gave her lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. It was a relief to know that she was getting such great care (and having a fantastic time) while we were away.”
“Jessica was great! She was easy to work with getting scheduled & with pick up times. Got some good pic of Floyd while he was with her. She’s patient and gentle with Floyd. Overall good experience.”
“Carla is a super down-to-earth, nice and caring person - Someone with whom to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member. She as well as her fiance and brother, who are also around, are all obvious pet lovers who immediately took to my sometimes-anxious pup during the meet and greet and made him feel comfortable. This is the most important part of finding a sitter - you want to feel at ease while you're away, knowing your furry friend is taken care of. Carla's dog, Candy, is also a fun-loving and playful dog. This made my time away non-stressful as I knew my dog was in good human hands as well as getting plenty of good exercise with Candy. Carla is super nice and professional to work with - definitely someone I'll use again.”
“Upasana was an amazing provider. She sent tons of pics. The dog genuinely look like it was in heaven the entire time she was there. Her boyfriend are extremely friendly, super responsive, and I will use them again in a heartbeat.”

“Katrina is the best, made my dog feel right at home, took her to the park, let her sleep with her, my dog had the best time ever, took great care of her, sent pictures daily and kept me up to date on how she was doing, will always use Katrina, a dog' s best friend !!!!! A+++++++”
“We continue to feel so so lucky to have Amberley care for our pup when we have to be away. She is communicative, kind and so considerate. We know Wrigley is in wonderful care and gets great exercise, plenty of love and time and space to play. 💙”
“As a first time Rover user, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Merrick was incredibly easy to communicate with and made my senior pup feel right at home. He also kindly sent me photos and updates everyday and arranged for a smooth drop off and pick up. I would highly recommend Merrick and his family for your pet sitting needs!!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! D’Artagnan and his wife cared for our two dogs as if they were their own, giving them so much love, attention, and reassurance. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly felt completely at ease in their care—which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. He also shared thoughtful advice and insight that helped us better understand our dogs, and his knowledge of dog behavior is truly impressive. We’re incredibly grateful to have found them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family members!
Michelle is a wonderfully kind dog sitter who truly understood Mochi’s personality. She was incredibly thoughtful—even bathing Mochi late at night and double-checking the sleeping arrangements to ensure everything was just right. Her own dog, Sam and Mochi happily played and napped together; Michelle sent me heartwarming photos every day. Although this was my first time asking her for Mochi’s boarding, She did a great job taking care of my dog. If schedule works I would like ask her again !
Thank you so much Beth and family! We really appreciate you and your family caring for our little love Copper. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. We received regular photo updates and sweet messages during our trip. Copper looked so happy! It was comforting knowing she had a wonderful experience being a part of their loving family! We will definitely book with Beth again! - Mariellyn and Michael
Dar took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away! They seemed very happy and comfortable during their stay and were clearly well cared for. Dar made sure they got plenty of walks and lots of time outside, which they absolutely love. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Dar to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter, and I would happily have my dogs stay with Dar 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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Arlington Heights is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 5,393 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
