About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I tailor walks, playtime, and care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventures, belly rubs, or a quiet companion, I provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a fun, loving experience filled with plenty of attention and affection. As a high school teacher, I have a reliable schedule and enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. During the school year, I am available after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. This flexibility allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home while you're away. With years of experience caring for animals, you can trust that your furry family member will receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and close supervision.

“Kim and her family are the best! She gave updates and sent many pictures! Bailey was so happy and couldn’t wait to spend time with Kim! She even gave Bailey a Christmas gift! We will always book with Kim!”
“Willow loved her stay at Justine & Brett’s! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We received regular updates and photos.

We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of pet boarding. We can't thank her enough for treating Oreo like family and giving us total peace of mind. Nicole, you're the best!”
“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!

“More than happy with Candy and Charlie’s care for Remy! They were not deterred by Remy’s dog aggression and were attentive in learning how to manage it. She was allowed to roam their entire apartment without restrictions. I had forgotten Remy’s dog bed and Candy and Charlie let her sleep on their bed. It was obvious they treated Remy as their own and spoiled her with attention, love, and entertainment all weekend. I definitely recommend Candy and Charlie and I will undoubted be requesting their services for doggy boarding again!”
“Penny and Luna really enjoyed their visit and all the love they received. I absolutely loved all the pictures Kimberly sent of playtime and sleepy time. Thank you to Kimberly and her lovely family.”
“Our dog, Spike had a wonderful time at Melissa’s house. He had a great time playing with her family and Melissa was very flexible with my drop off/pick up time. Thank you for a great experience!”
“Angelina was phenomenal with my older, sweet but anxious pup. She was very gentle with him and understood the needs of an older dog well. She took her time acclimating him to his environment and the other pups. She sent many sweet pics and messages, knowing I was a little nervous about how he’d do, because he hadn’t been with a sitter for some time. Angelina is a wonderful sitter and a kind, loving soul. I was completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands and we’ll surely he booking with her again. So happy to have found such a gem of a sitter. Thank you, Angelina!”

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!
Elizabeth took wonderful care of our 10-year-old dog for an entire week, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our dog was dealing with a UTI during her stay, which meant she needed frequent trips outside, medicine twice a day - but Elizabeth was incredibly patient, attentive, and accommodating to her needs. It was clear that our dog felt happy, safe, and comfortable in Elizabeth’s home. She received plenty of walks, lots of toys to keep her entertained, and, most importantly, so many snuggles and loving attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was being cared for as if she were part of the family. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she provided and will absolutely be using her again in the future to take care of our precious pup.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Darien on Rover is $42.34 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 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 5,578 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Darien. About 90% 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.

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.
