“Great communication and terrific care for our dog, including daily walks. Love that Brian only takes dogs from one family at a time. Already scheduled for our second visit with Brian.”
“Wendy has stayed multiple times with Matthew and Michelle and she is very well taken care of! They are super responsive and Wendy always looks relaxed and happy there in the photos they send!”
“Susseth was the best! She took such good care of our dog during the winter break and even got him a wonderful birthday treat! Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring home.”
“Nicole was great! We hadn’t had to leave our dog with anyone for awhile, so we wanted to make sure he was staying with someone who would make him feel comfortable. He stayed with Nicole for 3 nights, and she gave us updates (many photos included) throughout the day! We would definitely reach back out to her in the future :)”
“Eniya was super responsive and attentive with our pup! She sent updates and pictures without having to ask. We would recommend Eniya to any of our friends and have already booked another stay.”
“I can’t recommend Izzy more highly! Professional, prompt, and kind! She sent us daily updates of our pups, had ALL the supplies making drop off so easy, and was very communicative when we needed her to be flexible! Already have our next stay booked! Thank you!!”
“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!”

“This was our first time boarding Bowser, our baby Doberman, so I was a bit nervous, but Darrilyn was wonderful. She communicated with us throughout his stay and was fully prepared with extra supplies we’d forgotten. It was such a relief knowing he was in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend her!”

“Juliana was wonderful. Took great care of Jordan for 2 weeks. He seemed to have had a great time. Kept us updated daily. Her house was perfect with a great fenced in yard for him to run around. Would definitely leave Jordan with her 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!”
“Angelina was amazing with our senior dog! She watched our dog for four days while we took a quick vacation and Angelina sent fantastic photos throughout the trip.

I will definitely be reaching out to Angelina again for our next vacation!”

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 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.
