“First time using the app, first time leaving my pup for so long. Susseth was amazing, very interested in getting to know Alan (my pup). She was in contact at all times. I’m so happy and blessed to find her.”
“Mercedes is a definite "God Send". Her enthusiasm and overall ability to have my Rocket feel like a family member is truly beautiful. Rocket gets excited when he knows he's going to see Mercedes. I will continue to have her take care of Rocket and recommend others to do the same if they are looking for a sitter equal to their love for their pet.”
“Kori obviously had a great time at Jim’s. Jim is very organized and attended to my senior dog’s needs well in the quiet and relaxed environment she needs. I would feel comfortable having Kori stay with Jim again.”
“Donelle did a great job of taking care of Hershey! She returned my dog to me in even better shape than I could have imagined. I 10/10 recommend Donelle to pet sit and would book her again! She treated my dog like her own and went above and beyond, me and Hershey are very satisfied. She also has a beautiful home.”
“Buddy had a wonderful time with them. They were extremely caring, responsive, and he had a great time with their dogs. They also kept me updated with pictures which I loved.”
“This was my third time booking with Iman and she has been great every time. This was my first time not spending the holidays with my baby and she sent holiday pics and kept me updated throughout his stay on how he was doing. I was really nervous because this was the longest I’ve ever had to leave him, but when I picked him up he was super calm and happy. Definitely will continue booking Iman!”
“Our boy with separation anxiety came back from Kayla’s in much better shape than when he is boarded(not that they do anything wrong). Kayla responds quickly to any questions we have, and always keeps us updated with pictures! We would definitely be happy to send our guy to Kayla again.”
“Dara was wonderful! We are always apprehensive leaving Nala with someone new, but Dara made us feel super comfortable with lots of updates and was communicative the whole time we were away!”
“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”
“Kendra was so lovely and patient with my dog Maximus. Max has severe separation anxiety, and she showed him so much love and compassion. I could tell right away how much she loves animals and she's very patient and understanding and I fully put my trust in her to watch him again. Thank you so much Kendra!”
“Manuel looked after my dog for a whole week and she was happier and even healthier when I picked her up. Sent photos every day which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell she was truly in good hands. 100% recommend — will definitely book again!”

“Janet is amazing! My dog loves coming to board with her and her fur babies. She is kind to him and treats him as one of her own! I’m so grateful when she has availability. Highly recommend!!!”
“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.”
“Tabitha was so amazing and took such great care of Taco! I really appreciated all of the pictures she sent me as well. It was really great as well that Taco had other dog friends to play with while I was gone! Next time I go out of town, I would definitely book again!”
“Barbara is an absolutely amazing person! So kind and caring! You can tell how much she loves animals and really treated mine with amazing love. I needed somebody at the last minute, for a work trip, to watch my 16-year-old Bichon with many health issues and medications. She readily accepted and had zero issues providing him the care that he needed. He quickly settled into her place, next to her own dogs. Lots of very cute photos throughout my one day trip! Communication with Barbara was easy, timely, and she was incredibly flexible when I needed to change things up on her a little bit at the last minute. I look forward to using Barbara in the future!”
“I want to say thank you Tanisha. You have watched over my baby Bruno like he was your own & helped me and Cavin out so much. You kept sending me updates and I’m so glad you got to see Bruno for how gentle he really is. Bruno will be back with you anytime you are available . Thank you thank you thank you . 10stars in my book .”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Chicago Ridge
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!

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.
94% 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, 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 Chicago Ridge.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
