“Jenna and her family seemed to do a great job watching our dog! This was our first time using Rover, so we were concerned for his care since typically he stays with family members that he’s accustomed to. He greeted us in his typical nature after being away from us. We appreciate the care that she provided and wouldn’t have any hesitation in having her watch our dog again.”
“I highly recommend Kim. From the meet and greet, we knew Leila, our 12 year old Havanese, will be happy and safe. Kim and her kids are pet lovers. The moment we parked our car, and as soon as her kids saw Leila, they hugged and played with her, so adorable. Kim would send photos every few hours, which I appreciate. Kim lives in a safe and quiet community in Darien, she also has a decent size backyard where Leila can play. Kim also texts me for any updates. Leila loves the attention! Thanks Kim :)”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Wayne did an excellent job taking care of our dog, Charlie! He was great to work with, it was a very quick turnaround time from when I booked the stay until we dropped charlie off. Wayne made time for a quick meet and greet. He sent us pictures and videos daily so we could see how charlie was doing. Highly recommend him!”
“This family was wonderful with our Maizie!! She has never been away from us and they made it so comfortable for her. They definitely went above and beyond for her stay and we could not be more grateful!!”
“Barbara was amazing with our little pup, Brucie. She is quick with communication, so caring, and you can tell that she really loves (and knows!) dogs. We got many pictures and updates throughout the day and Brucie always looked happy. Highly recommend. We will use Barbara again in the future.”
“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!!”
“Thank you so much for welcoming Woody in to your home over the weekend! It was our first time boarding him/his first time away from home since adoption and you made us feel so comfortable leaving him with you. We loved getting pictures and so appreciate all the love and care you showed him!”
“Teddy stayed with Phyllis and Greg for a little over one week this time and I was confident he was in good hands. They provided daily updates and spoiled Teddy as if he was their own dog. Teddy just loves them.”
“Erin is such a sweetheart and I would love to have my dog go there again! She was so kind and loving to my little fur baby, and her pup was so cute, friendly and happy! I got pictures of them going on walks, playing and chilling. My dog was in the very best hands, and I felt so comfortable having her there. Best experience ever!!! Thank you, Erin! :)”
“Simply the best! This is our first time leaving our Bruno with a dog sitter and Christina made it so comforting and easy for us. Great communication and her love of animals is evident by her care. 5+ 🐾”
“I cannot say enough good things about Susan! We had a change in plans before a trip and needed a last minute sitter and she could not have been a better match. She was super responsive, sent tons of photos and updates, and was more than accommodating! She treated our dog like family and we will definitely be coming back”
“Tyler and his wife took great care of Ernie. They sent lots of pictures keeping us updated on his stay. They gave him his medication and even kept him company when he was hiding from thunderstorms in their bathroom. We would definitely use them again!”
“Amanda and her family were absolutely wonderful with Margeaux and made our first Rover/pet service experience a very positive one. Margeaux is looking forward to us going out of town again so she can spend time with her new buddies :)”
“Esha & Vineeth hosted our lab for spring break and she seemed very comfortable! They shared lots of updates throughout the week and were easy to coordinate plans! Thank you again!”
“Ashley provided a relaxing environment for our Frenchie!! She provided useful feedback on how our pets reacted during their stay, and both dogs acclimated well to their visit there and then back home.”
“We had a great experience with Tamara! She is very communicative, responsive, and flexible when needed. Winnie and Otis loved playing with Maggie. You can trust your pets will be in good care with Tamara!”
“Izzy is the best! Sometimes we’ve had to book overnight boarding last minute, but she has always been available for us which helps us so much. She’s so kind and truly loves our fur baby Pippen. When we drive up, our normally nervous pup gets so excited. We feel so lucky to have met her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
Belle was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of my dog's routine. While I was away, Belle kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Belle went above and beyond to make sure my pet received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. It's not easy to find someone you can fully trust with a beloved pet, but Belle exceeded all expectations. I returned home to a relaxed, happy dog and felt confident that my pet had been in the best possible hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Belle to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional dog sitter.
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.
Our 9-year-old corgi had a blast with Frances and Happy over a 2-week stay at their home! Frances was great with daily photos and videos as well as general communication about our pup. And our corgi absolutely loved the social interaction and play she got with Happy—it was definitely a vacation for her as well. Thanks again to Frances, Happy, and their family for taking such good care of our corgi!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Darien
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Darien on Rover is $42.61 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,411 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.
