“Lisa and her family was amazing!! Probably the best sitter experience we have had on Rover! She sent us a lot of pics. Her kiddos took our dog on lots of walks and kept him busy (and feeling loved).”
“Tess took wonderful care of our dog while on a three day vacation at a family reunion! We could see from the pictures she sent to us from her home & the dog park that Bailey was well taken care of & was having a great time running & visiting with other dogs! We definitely will be looking to have Tess watch our four footed friend again when we go away in the future!?”
“Barbara took excellent care of our two dogs. She sent a ton of pictures so I always knew what they were doing and that they were happy on their doggie vacation. Both ate and slept really well at Barbara's house.”
“Denise is an excellent pup caregiver! She is knowledgeable about dog care and did execptionally well with our puppymill rescue Maggie who is usually very timid and shy. Maggie took to Denise right away and was kissing her hand and going to her for pets and ear rubs during our meet and greet. Maggie's tale was wagging in the update photos sent and she ate and took her meds without any issues. I highly recommend Denise and will definitely use her again!”
“Great communication. Very friendly and wonderful with the pets (cat and dog). Felt very comfortable they were well taken care of during our week long vacation.”
“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.”
“Kimberly was amazing with my pup. Loved the meet and greet option which made it a breeze dropping GG off for a short weekend trip! She sent great videos and updates each day which made being away so much easier. Will book again!”
“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.”
“Our dogs always love seeing their "Aunt Suzy"! Our dogs have special needs and Suzy always follows our instructions to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable! They have their own little "suite" at her house and they get so much love from Suzy, her family, and their sweet dog. Our pups can't wait for next time!”
“Diana and Brian take very good care of Piper. We can see she is always excited to stay with them and their pups which are her BFFs. So lucky to have found wonderful sitters.”
“Courtney and her family saved us when we had a last minute family emergency from our usual sitter over the holidays! She sent photos and updates twice a day, and our dog had a wonderful stay.”
“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”
“This was our second time boarding with Belle and she’s the best! Super happy with how she takes care of our pup, he is always so happy. She sends tons of photos and has great communication”
“Freya was fabulous and open with communication about our pet. They constantly sent us pics and updates on the status of our Waffle. I feel they went the extra mile on caring for our baby. This was my first experience using this app and now I am willing to keep using it! Thank you Freya!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better petsitter than Kimberly. She took incredible care of our dog, Dolce, while we were away for two weeks—and it gave us so much peace of mind to know she was in such good hands. Kimberly sent daily photo updates, and it was clear from her happy face that she was having the best time. Dolce was treated like part of the family and came home calm, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Erin, Luna, and her husband were so delightful! What a sweet family!!! Very trustworthy, attentive, and compliant with pets that require a little extra care due to age and underlying conditions. My beagle definitely misses their company. I will be using them again in the future. Thank you so much for everything!!!! 🐾🦴🐕💜🐩🦴🐾”
“I am grateful that I booked with La Toya. Her services are amazing. She provides updates and pictures and I can tell that she took amazing care of my yorkies while we were away. I will definitely be booking again.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Darien
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Darien on Rover is $42.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,426 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Darien. About 91% of Darien 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 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.
