“Linda has been so wonderful with my dog. She kept updating me and sending me pictures. She treated my dog as if her own. Peanut seemed to be well at home with Linda and Daisy. I couldn't expect better treatment. I would recommend her for anyone. Thanks Linda!!!”
“Christina and her family were the perfect house for our 8 month old puppy. They were amazing with him and Charlie and their dog became fast friends. We are grateful to have found a home we trust when we go out of town. Highly recommend Christina!”
“Izzy was wonderful! I was very nervous about leaving Gerdoo with someone I didn’t know because she is so attached to me. Izzy was very understanding and made me feel comfortable. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the stay, and seeing Gerdoo lying next to another dog was so heartwarming. I would definitely trust Izzy with her again.”
“100% positive experience. Wayne provided morning updates, photos, and had a nice home for my dog to get lots of playtime. It was very easy to book and communicate with Wayne. I highly recommend having him watch your dog as I would gladly book with him again.”
“She took amazing care of our baby, Opie. She was very easy to communicate with and was very flexible I appreciate all that she did and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“We really appreciate Matt and Michelle taking such good care of Lucky for us during our wedding and honeymoon trip. They provided frequent updates and photos, we could tell Lucky became a part of their family and felt comfortable. Would absolutely book again!”
“Phyllis and Greg gave Oreo (my 2 year old border collie) a second home while my family was traveling for holiday! Oreo had a great 9 day stay with them and even gained 2 pounds. We appreciated the daily photos and text updates! Highly recommend Phyllis rover service.”
“Heather and Israel were great - always responsive, let us know how things were going and our pup was adapting while we were gone for the weekend. Our flight was cancelled and they were so kind to watch our pup an extra night and be flexible with the pickup time. Our pup had so much fun and we will definitely use them again!”
“Ashley was wonderful with my two pups! She kept me updated with lots of messages and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s also very detail-oriented, kind, and genuinely cares. Her whole family is so loving- I knew my dogs were in great hands the entire time. Highly recommend!”
“This was the second time Frankie stayed with Traci, and we wouldn’t trust anybody else with our pup. Traci takes such great care of her, she knows her stuff, and will take care of your pup like her own. Thanks so much again Traci! We’ll be back :)”
“Michelle did an excellent job taking care of our little guy! We booked her last minute and she was so accommodating. She sent great pictures while we were away, which is always so appreciated. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“Kim provided the best care we could have hoped for! She and her family cared for Morty like he was part of their family. He stayed with them for four nights and I received updates and photos regularly, Morty was so happy the whole time, we are very grateful!”
“Jill, Nick, and her children took great care of Howie. I would definitely recommend them and use them again. I received daily pictures and updates. Their response time on messages is absolutely great. I think Howie was sad he had to come home!”
“My original dog sitter notified me she was sick with Covid the day I was supposed to drop my dog off. I was in a bind to try to find someone. Frances was wonderful and so responsive during the entire booking process, seamless drop off/pickup and sent me updates throughout the stay. I will be booking again for a future trip and highly recommend her!”
“My dog Bodie had an excellent time and spent the entire time playing with his dogs. He was exhausted when I picked him up after his stay which is always a great sign! I would 100% recommend having Tyler take care of your dog. Great communication and plenty of pictures throughout the stay.”
“Laina and Bill did a wonderful job watching our dog for the weekend. From the moment we had the in-home meet & greet, our dog seemed so comfortable in a “make himself at home” sort of way. We re dived many photo updates along the way, which were very appreciated. Even other “good” sitters in the past did not keep the steady stream of updates coming. There wasn’t even a moment of worry or eondering how he’s doing. I would definitely put them at the top of our list for for future boardings.”
“Adriana was great! I left my pup for the first time ever for several days with her. She was so great in keeping me updated on his well being and he even got to make new friends! She’s also very accommodating. I definitely plan on having my pup stay with her when needed.”
“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”

Lynn gets a ten star rating from Jasper and I. He has stayed at her house many times. Jasper is almost 16 years old, so he can’t hear well and his sight is starting to fail a bit. He is on some medications and supplements for health issues. He drinks a ton of water and piddles a lot (sometimes in places he shouldn’t). Lynn accommodates for his needs. I have no worries about Jasper when I’m on vacation. I can totally relax knowing he is in her kind loving care.
Heather and Israel were great - always responsive, let us know how things were going and our pup was adapting while we were gone for the weekend. Our flight was cancelled and they were so kind to watch our pup an extra night and be flexible with the pickup time. Our pup had so much fun and we will definitely use them again!
Sayju was an amazing dog sitter! They took excellent care of our dog and made sure all of their needs were met. We appreciated the regular updates, photos, and the genuine care and attention they provided. It was clear that our dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved while we were away. Sayju was reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. We would gladly trust Sayju with our dog again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.
I would highly recommend Danielle to take care of your pet. I was very nervous about boarding my dog, since I have never boarded a pet before. She was very accommodating to all of my dog’s specific needs. She also had a spacious home and a big beautiful backyard for my dog to enjoy. I believe she even spoiled my dog by letting my dog make herself at home on Daniel’s couch to sleep at night. Which I really appreciated Danielle is also great about sending pictures and lengthy updates. I would definitely board my dog with Danielle again as needed. I was able to enjoy my two week vacation, because I knew that my dog instantly liked Danielle and her home at our initial Meet and Greet. Like I said before, she is not only a nice person, but met all of my dog’s needs. Looking forward to boarding my dog again with Danielle in the future.
Our Doberman Miley spent an entire week at their home.They have a beautiful home with a large fenced in yard and three dogs that Miley had a blast playing with all week.I received daily updates and photos which made us less feel at ease as it looked as though she was happy and enjoying her temporary family.They took great care of her and I would highly recommend them as a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Darien on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,319 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Darien. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Darien sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Darien landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Darien 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 Darien.
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 Darien 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.
