About: I grew up with dogs, worked at PetSmart for many years, continued dog sitting professionally, and raised my own current dog, Gizmo, from 5 weeks old. I have gone through extensive training and I use that to help others with training issues when I can. I've been through various medical issues and found the appropriate care, including for a choking dog. I am an artist and like to photograph or draw they dogs I care for - have done separate pet portrait work not included with dog sitting. I like to try to really communicate with and understand each dog in their own circumstances. I have a dog park available just a short walk down the street. I have the ability to schedule working from home if needed. Typically, if you would like your dog to stay at my home, they will be sharing space with my dog, Gizmo. So please communicate if you need special consideration for alone time. I take walks or visit the dog park in the mornings. I typically work 10 to 6 Monday through Friday at an office, but can schedule days to work from home if a dog is staying and can not be left for a long period of time. My dog is Gizmo. He is okay with other dogs and will typically play a little outside and leave your dog to have their own space inside. You will need to discuss your situation with me if your dog needs alone time with me as I would need to address Gizmo's care under those circumstances. My house is on the smaller side, but the yard is fenced in and is reasonably sized. There is a dog door available to allow easy access to the yard. Dogs are allowed on couches and the bed in my home. I have one large crate if you would like your dog to use one. Each room can be closed off if separation is needed. If I am caring for a dog in another home, I need to take the same consideration for Gizmo. Please share your needs so we can adjust as necessary.
“Connie was incredible! She was so sweet with Rocky, and great with communicating and sending updates/photos. I’ll definitely be using Connie the next time I’m out of town!”
“Susan is responsive and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our pup and sent many updates, photos, and videos throughout her stay. Susan has a nice fenced in yard, lots of toys for the pups, and a sweet and caring personality. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you again Kayla for having my Lady girl for the weekend! Kayla does a great job caring for my pup and keeping me in the loop on how she is doing. I never have to worry about Lady being in good hands.”
“Angelina went above and beyond caring for our Butterscotch. Excellent communication and multiple pictures sent every day. She even noticed his itchy skin issue and offered to recommend homeopathic remedies. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Janet was great with our lil’ Lexi (a Havanese) and took great care of her while we were out-of-town for a few days! We’ll definitely consider leaving Lexi with Janet the next time we take a family trip! Thanks Janet for all your help!”
“First time using Rover and I will tell you that you can't go wrong with them findimg you a trusting and loving sitter for your fur babies. I picked Ann because of her great profile. Conversation and our meet and greet. She and her entire family are amazing. Their love for their own animals and our baby was outstanding. They told us about their history with their own fur babies and it showed us how much love they have in their hearts and home for all. I would pick them every time to take care of my Cara. Cara adapted immediately with their babies and with each of the family members. They updated us with pics and even a photo shoot that their daughter did. So cute and loving. Cara hugged Ann and gave her her approval immediately. When we picked her up she was with Ann's husband and they were love love as we call ot w Cara. We couldn't be more blessed to have Ann and her family be part of Cara's life. They have become part of our family as well. If you are looking for a sitter Ann is the best. The accommodations with her lovely yard and loving home you can't go wrong with. She will give you the peace of mind that your baby will be in great hands. Thank you Ann and her Family. Thank you Rover for finding great people like Ann.”
“Eniya was so wonderful. She took great care of King as if he were her own. She communicated everyday sending pictures and videos. I was at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again when I need. Thank you so much Eniya!”
“Our 7 month old puppy stayed with Wayne for a week. Wayne was organized and quick with communication. The dogs have plenty of outdoor time and play. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. Our pup seemed very happy when we picked him up!”
“Our Armin enjoyed his almost 2 week stay with Ethel! Ethel kept constant communication with us and was super flexible about the drop off and pick up times. He has separation anxiety but you could tell he really built a healthy bond with her. I appreciate that she was also able to socialize him with her own family’s dogs. I’m so happy to have found someone I trust to care for my baby boy when we are out of town.”
“My babygirl Jazz, always has an amazing time with Tanisha and Darrius. They make sure to send updates frequently and check in on her well being after the stay. She comes back looking and feeling her best self. We'll be back soon.”
“A sincere thank you to Angelica for looking after my puppy for several days, even a day longer than I had anticipated due to serious travel issues from Boston. I cannot thank Angelica enough. If she permits, I will be looking to book Angelica's services routinely in the future. Thank you sincerely Angelica. Patricio,”
About: I have had the privilege of loving and caring for dog(s) since I was 5 years old. I have raised dogs since they were 6 week old puppies until their final days. I am organized with medication distribution if needed and can follow any cute quirks your baby may need to have that extra attention to detail for them to feel safe and loved. I work full time Monday to Friday from 8 am-4:30 pm. I am available evening hours during the work week and all day on weekends! I have a 3 year old Shetland Sheepdog named Bowie. His brother, Milo, passed away last year, who was my baby since he was 6 weeks old. I would love to take your dog for walks, feed, play, and spend time with your companion. I believe in positive reinforcement for teaching dogs tricks and behavior training.
“We have had Nick and Jill (and kids) watch Niko a few times now and every time Niko comes back healthy and happy! He gets excited as we pull up and runs right into the house when we drop him off! We will definitely use them again!”
“Archer seemed relaxed at happy after his stay with Gary and his dogs. Gary addressed any concerns I had with his first time stay with the pack and I felt at ease leaving him for a few days. I would reuse Gary as a sitter for Archer when that time comes around again.”

This is our second time having our dog stay with Barbara. She is amazing, and we feel confident having her care for our doodle. We especially love her amazing communication, the photos ever 3+ times/day, and ease of working with her. Lindey looks forward to her next visit with Barbara!
Since our 2 dogs are seniors (18 & 15) and have special needs, we had to look for a person who understands the challenges of taking care of them. We got lucky with Angelina and how she was able to help take care of our dogs for a week while we were away. She was extremely flexible with learning what works for our dogs, and you could actually see that she cares. She sent us updates and photos throughout the day,on a daily basis, which was very much appreciated! I couldn't recommend her enough, esp if you're looking for a sitter/caregiver that understands seniors and special needs dogs.
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.
Corey took fabulous care of Steven, provided excellent communication and amusing updates, paid close attention to instructions and even brushed Steve's poodle hair. From the moment we met him at the meet-and-greet we were confident Steve would be well cared for. You can put Corey on your trusted sitter list.
Holly and her family immediately welcomed Lincoln into their home and made sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Holly sent us lots of updates and made sure we knew how our boy was doing. Would highly recommend and Lincoln hopes he can visit again. He especially loved his playtime with Holly’s pups Layla and Piper☺️
Selene took wonderful care of our dog, Peanut! She sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Peanut was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her attentiveness and kindness, and we would absolutely trust her with Peanut again. Highly recommend!
Sandra was absolutely wonderful in taking care of Ellie! From our initial meeting to the final pickup, everything was seamless and stress-free. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and made sure Ellie was happy and comfortable throughout. We truly appreciate her care and attention. Thank you, Sandra—We will definitely use your service again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Countryside is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $45 and $88 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.
As of October 2026, there are 5,248 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Countryside. 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 Countryside 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 Countryside 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 Countryside.
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 Countryside 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.
