She is very much available to us and CEU thankful for that. She does makes sure heaven is taken cared, very clean and obedient . We highly recommend Stephanie and thanks so much for providing a second beautiful home to our dog everytime we’re out of the city!!🙏🙏🙏”
“Had such a great first experience on Rover booking with Kyla! My dog is a newer foster fail so i didn’t have too much knowledge of how she would be while we were away but Kyla kept me informed every day. She even went the extra mile when my dog got sick and took care of her better than i could have expected. Will definitely book again!”
“Megan and her home were exactly what my Tully needed while I was away. She was perfectly taken care of and I received frequent updates and pictures/videos. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria watched my Charlie while I took my trip. She always keep me aware of how Charlie is doing with plenty pictures. She has watched Charlie before and I love how she takes care of him!”
“Katherine and family is amazing with my pup, Aspen. The communication is great. My pup gets great care, and so much love. It makes going away easy. This last visit, they even gave Aspen a toy to bring home 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you Katherine and family.”
“Very accommodating after my original dog sitter canceled at the last minute. I was kept up to date on my fur baby condition and sent pictures. Very friendly and very caring! I will always book with her 💖”
“This is the second time we have used Connie and we were happy yet again! Our dog was so excited to come in and be with Connie and Jojo at drop off. She sent pictures and kept in touch while we were away. Marco is blind, so I am sure he is extra work, but Connie has been amazing and we will use her again!! Thanks so much!!”
“Lauren has taken care of my dog Kylo, three times and I couldn't be happier with her care. Lauren is an amazing dog sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving Kylo with her. Since Kylo is diabetic it is especially important that he stays on his feeding schedule and receives his insulin injections on time, and Lauren is incredibly responsible and attentive to his needs. She provides multiple updates throughout the day, including pictures, detailed messages and even Wooftrax updates so I know how long his walks are. Kylo is very comfortable with her, and she does such a wonderful job of making him feel safe and cared for. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a trustworthy and caring dog sitter for our baby. We truly appreciate everything Lauren does for our precious pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Heather ended up taking care of Dempsey an extra day after our flight back to Chicago was cancelled. She was quick to respond and helped make a stressful situation a little easier to manage. She took great care of Demps while we were out of town. Thank you!!”
“Monica and Calvin were great!!!! Gizmo seem to be comfortable which made me feel better. Being this was my first experience with leaving him. Thank you guys again for everything. You guys will be my go to when available!!!”
“Luciane and Luciano took care of my dog for 5 days and took such good care, he wasn’t even excited to see me when I got home. He was super happy there and walked a ton! They took so many photos and I got to see them all. I got plenty of updates on how he was doing. I was totally relaxed on my vacation because I knew he was in good hands! I seriously recommend them to watch your pets, they’re amazing at their job. DON’T waste your time looking for another petsitter, they’re the best around.?”
“Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!”
About: I've been a responsible dog owner the past decade and have cared for dogs collectively for 15 years total. I am highly observant of their behaviors, needs, health and different ways of communicating. I'm also a great communicator when it comes to responsiveness, sending daily photos and answering any questions. As a bonus, if you are flying out of town, we can provide a free parking space at our home and most likely drop you off and pick you up at either airport for a nominal additional fee to cover gas ($10 Midway, $20 O'Hare) to save you money on a ride share or taxi rate. I work from home and my wife is typically home from her job as a physician at a nearby hospital before 5 pm. I typically walk our two dogs once a day + let them play in our 1000 sqft fenced in dog run. We have two incredibly friendly dogs and two playful cats to keep yours company too. We have crates on each level of our home and can even keep your dog isolated (if you want) in a separate room with closed door, while still receiving exercise, attention and proper care.
“Jenna was phenomenal. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay with pictures and updates and was very playful and consitent with my dog. I would recommend using her for your boarding needs.”
“Timothy was a wonderful sitter ! He shared updates and photos regularly and gave my dog extra food because I didn’t pack enough. He was also very gracious to let me extend my booking on short notice due to travel delays. Highly recommend Timothy and hope we can book with him again !”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Chicago Ridge is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chicago Ridge
Linda made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning of me planning my trip and leaving my baby 🐶 with her to the moment I picked up my dog! Linda went above and beyond honestly to make sure my dog Paris was feeling comfortable and also to make sure I was feeling comfortable trusting her with my dog! She responded to any concerns I had , and even went to the measure of trying to comfort my dogs possible ear infection before I took her to the vet. If your like me and are worried about who to leave your dog with and having not the greatest trust with people, Linda is the best person to trust your loved one with! Will definitely be leaving my dog with her next time I plan on going on a trip!!
Alejandra was very great with my cats. They can be very shy, but they were very comfortable with her and her pets. She kept me updated about how their days were and sent pictures and videos every chance she got. I highly recommend anyone who needs a sitter to book her, your pets will be in good hands!
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Chicago Ridge is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 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 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 5,242 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Chicago Ridge. About 90% of Chicago Ridge 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.
