“My dog was so spoiled and well taken care of while staying with Barbara! Definitely rebooking for our next trip! Barbara was amazing with communication, sent updates daily and pictures and videos daily, which eased my mind quite a bit. I couldn’t be happier with the Service and Care she provided to my dog!”
“I left my dog with Dara for 2.5 weeks and I did not worry about him at all. Finding a good Rover is tricky especially that my dog is reactive and can’t stay with other dogs. She consistently sent updates with photos and I loved hearing about his little quirks! I appreciate her celebrating his birthday too! I can tell that my dog had a great time, we highly recommend Dara!”
“My dog loves Ethel. She stayed in Ethel’s care for a week and came home like she’s not been away. It’s incredible. Ethel sends pictures of her walks and took her to the dog park. So happy with her services.”
“Our pup was so well-loved by Patricia and her family. From the second she met our dog I knew she was in good hands and the regular updates and pictures she sent reassured us of that. Could not recommend her services more highly!”
“Barbara was great as always. Barbara was able to make some last minute accommodations for us as a result of a last minute change with our schedule. We know our Bailey is in good hands with Barbara when we travel and gladly use her services again.”
“Amber did such a wonderful job caring for my senior dog! She was incredibly attentive to all of the instructions I provided, including her medication schedule, feeding routine, and outdoor needs. She also sent thoughtful daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my pup was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention she provided. I would happily book with her again in the future!”
“Amazing! My doggy’s were so happy. One of my dogs had a cone and he was extra cared for it was really appreciated! The dogs came home with a goodie bag and everything. Will definitely book again!”
“Thank you Tabitha! Rocco had the BEST sleepover. Lots of play time, lots of outside time, and tons of love. Tabitha even made Rocco an Easter basket with doggie treats. She was super patient with him when he was nervous on night one and kept me well informed over the weekend with tons of pictures and updates. He came home happy, clean and we are so grateful for her love.”
“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.”
“Lisa was so good with Oscar. We got him back so happy and healthy. She treated oscar like he was her own dog. I'd recommend Lisa for all dog owners and I'd definitely send Oscar there when we travel next time.”
“Sandy was great, she was sweet and kind, I could tell Jax was comfortable with her as soon as we arrived. She sent us consistent photo updates which really put me at ease on my trip knowing he was in good hands and having the best time!”
“Elizabeth and her family were amazing with Penny! I got plenty of photos and updates and Elizabeth even sent us home with some dental treats. I would trust Elizabeth with Penny again without a doubt.”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Mark was great with answering my questions, and quick to respond to! Mark sent photos of how my dog was doing which I appreciated and made me feel like he was really being taken care of. He was great with my dog and I will not hesitate to ask Mark to watch him again.”
“Tonisa was great!! We did a meet and greet first. She was accommodating of any special needs and took care of Rocky like her own! Great with pictures and videos too! Rocky will be back to see Ava, his new friend.”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“Kamiah and Cassius are wonderful. Compassionate, prompt, and professional. My dog came home calm and happy. I look forward to booking with them again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Chicago Ridge is $50
Pet 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!

There are 5,414 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.

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.
