“I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! I was looking for a last minute sitter and Mercedes was very responsive and took my dog at last minute notice. Mercedes went above and beyond when caring for my pup and I never felt more comfortable with a sitter. She took amazing care of my dog and kept me informed! She showed incredible kindness to me and my pup ❤️”
“Amy was amazing with Jax!!! She gave daily night reports, long walks, intentional playtime. Jax got along with her pups too. She even gave him a nice bath so he was perfect returning to us. I'm sure Jax didn't want to leave with all of the love and care from Amy. Highly recommend and will definitely return.”
“Manuel was absolutely wonderful with Panch! He made sure he got his medication, took him on daily walks, and gave him extra snuggles during the storm. He kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind. When we picked Panch up, he was happy, freshly bathed, and clearly very well cared for. We’re so grateful for the love and attention Manuel gave him! ❤️”
“Kyla is and was so amazing with my fur baby. For one, I was terrified because Eden has IVDD ( nerve condition that caused him to lose the functionality in his back legs) and I was like who is going to watch or even change a diaper on a dog. I have never seen anyone to attentive to my baby as if he were her baby. I’m so grateful to have found her and I will be a repeat client. Thank you again Kyla!!”
About: I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I am a dependable, caring, and patient person and i genuinely love spending time with animals-especially dogs. I treat every pet in my care like my own. As a licensed xray technician and extensive healthcare background, you can rest assure that your pet will always be in good hands. My home is a quiet, non-smoking house. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and being genuinely loved as though they were my own. 🐶❤️ My schedule is exceptionally flexible and open, meaning my entire daily and weekly routine revolves completely around the pets in my care. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, midday companionship, or an extra-long afternoon walk, I will be there to provide it. Pets will be under my constant supervision and are never left unattended. I have a spacious backyard with grassy areas for potty breaks, playtime, or just to relax in fresh air- all surrounded by a privacy fence with secure locks at all points of entry.
“I can’t say enough good things about Shayna. She watched our 2 dogs at her house for a week. One of our dogs gets very nervous around new people and can be reactive. He reacted well at our meet and greet and Shayna felt comfortable that he would do well and he did. I felt at ease seeing how well they were doing with her daily updates and pictures. She really treated them like they were her own. We will definitely be using her services again and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Mark is the first person that we left our boy Rocky with. He was great at communication. Send us pictures of our dog. He has a very nice house took him for plenty of walks. Make sure he was fed really great guy and would definitely recommend.”
“Very happy to have chosen Saraí to take care of Aniza I received photos and videos all the time she has a huge yard where Aniza had a lot of fun playing with other dogs if in doubt I will recover again with Saraí 100% recommended”
“Super sitter! I felt so comfortable leaving my two babies (one with separation anxiety) with Cary and her family. Cary checked in while I was gone, sent photos, and answered any questions. The dogs were super happy. I will definitely call on Cary again.”
“Serena watched our 6 month old puppy at her house for a week, and he had a great time! She communicated with us every day, and we felt very at ease and able to enjoy our trip without worrying. She also has a very sweet dog who kept him company during his stay.”
“Fantastic person, fanstastic services. This was my first time leaving my pup with someone, Beverly made it a very smooth, calming process by responding quickly and providing updates with pictures. Her house is nice and spacious with a huge yard for active pups. I will be using her in the future for sure.”
“Hire her!!!!!!! Mia took amazing care of Wally while we were away on a weeklong vacation. He can get pretty anxious and homesick, but he settled in with Mia right away. He was eating his meals and playing with her adorable dog Bentley in no time. We miss him dearly when we’re away and she sent tons of photos and videos so we could see what a good time he was having. The backyard was great fun for him. 10/10 would recommend working with Mia ❤️”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
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.
“Shirley was a natural with Snowflake. It was like they were already old pals even though this was her first stay. I appreciated Shirley keeping updated with great pictures; that kept me at ease. And she was great with her communication. Thanks so much Shirley!!”
“Jo’Ell was really good with providing updates/pictures. Rex — my pup — seemed to have a great time! The fenced in yard was a plus as he likes to be outside. Thanks again!”
“I cannot recommend Bailey enough! I was out of the country for a week, with little to no signal, and Bailey still managed to keep me updated as much as she could. My dog, Leo, wasn't eating alot in the beginning and Bailey did everything she could to get him eat and gave him a bath or two after rolling he rolled in poop lol. It was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I came across her profile! Also, it was a last minute booking and she was able to accept Leo. Thank you, Bailey, for taking care of Leo as if he was your own pup. I know he misses you! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Eliza took great care of Winston. He played a lot and had a lot of fun. She provided frequent updates and was very accommodating. I will definitely leverage her assistance again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chicago Ridge
Dara was so great with our Nolan. This was the first time he had done any overnight and away time from us since we adopted him early this year. She was super accommodating around drop and pick up time to ensure he would have time to acclimate. He also can be reactive with other dogs and was extremely mindful of this while taking him on walks. We received daily updates and pics to assure us that he was doing well. We feel like we struck gold with Dara!
We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Jim! He boarded our 5 month old American Eskimo puppy, Millie, over the busy Fourth of July weekend and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. This was our puppy's first time away from home and he made it such a positive experience! Thank you!
Olivia kept my baby Leah for the weekend while I went out of town, and I was honestly nervous because anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my baby. But Olivia was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and updates the whole time, which really helped me relax. She even gave Leah extra treats and sent her home with some too. I ended up needing to extend my trip unexpectedly, and Olivia was super understanding and flexible about it. That meant a lot to me. Leah was clearly well taken care of and loved while she was there. Olivia will forever be my baby’s home whenever I’m away. I’m so grateful I found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Chicago Ridge is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $54 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 of October 2026, there are 5,085 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Chicago Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Chicago Ridge 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 Chicago Ridge home-away-from-home, 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 Chicago Ridge.
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.
You and your Chicago Ridge 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 , 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 .
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.
