“Kimberly was kind and truly cared for our dogs. In every photo she sent, our pups looked relaxed and happy. It was our first time leaving them with someone else, so we were quite worried — but all our concerns disappeared after just one day. We’re definitely planning to leave our dogs with Kimberly again. Highly recommended!”
“Katherine and family are great! Aspen was in the best of hands. So happy and relaxed at their home. Aspen did get a little muddy, but Katherine made sure she was all clean when I picked her up. Appreciate you so! Many, many thanks for taking such good care of Aspen!”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Dave was very good with my recent rescue Duke while I was on vacation. Received pictures/info every day, and very timely responses. Will use again when I go on next trip.”
“Elizabeth and family spoiled our dog! They kept me in the loop the whole time he was with him! They walked him and were available last minute! They are the best❣️”
“Julia is wonderful and so kind!! Our dog had a great time with her and her dog. I loved all the photos, too. Beautiful green space and home :) I would 100% rebook with her and tell my friends about her.”
“Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.”
“Ruben WILL treat your pup(s) as his own. He is so genuine with his love and care for dogs. He is very communicative; he sends pictures and videos random, and as you ask. He dog sat my two dogs, a boy and a girl for three days. On day one I kept bothering him asking how my dogs were doing. And from the pictures and videos he provided I was able to see my dogs enjoyed being with him. So the next two days I left him alone because I was able to see my dogs felt his love! And that’s very important to me. Go with Ruben. Pick Ruben to watch over your dogs. Our pups feed off of our pawrent energies and Ruben can provide the same for your dogchild/ren.”
“Fantastic home to leave your best friend and not worry about it. We received bunch of pictures and updates along the way and overall it was great experience for us. I wouldn’t think twice about leaving Casper there again. Thank you!”
“Charlie loves Joe and Camille's yard, their house, the treats he gets, and them. He is 17 with some senior health issues, and I never when he's with them.”
“As always, Ferris had a great stay with Angel. He was so excited to see Angel at the start of his stay, and he made some new dog friends while there. Angel was excellent at communicating about how Ferris was doing and sending pictures.”
“First time using the Rover service and Eileen made the experience easy and care free. She welcomed our dog Buster into her home like she would her own dogs, and helped make his time away from his people to be a pleasant experience for him. Eileen was great about daily check in's and communication. We definitely will keep Eileen in mind for future boarding needs. Thanks Eileen for taking such good care of Buster!”
“Kyla took great care of Winston while we were on vacation for an extended period of time. This is the second time she has assisted while we were overseas. She has a proven record of taking care of our 17 month old, high energy Schnauzer and providing frequent updates. We will continue to ask for her assistance in the future.”
“Trinity was fantastic with Brutus! She was super responsive before the stay, flexible with drop-off time, and asked great questions about his temperament. Throughout the stay she sent photos and updates so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Brutus settled in quickly, loved his walks, and from what it sounds Brutus was totally obsessed with her squeaker toys. It's clear she genuinely enjoys the dogs she cares for. Highly recommend and we'll definitely book again!”
“John took good care of both of my dogs! He was very communicative and cared for them deeply—they didn't want to leave when I picked them up! We will definitely bring our dogs back to John when the opportunity arises!”
“Jasmine was amazing from the initial booking to the drop off & ALL throughout the 1st visit for my lil guy. The daily update with beautiful & happy photos were definitely a true testament to her quality of care, concern, & love displayed for my dog. I’ve already booked several more boarding stays to ensure confirmation! Thank you Jasmine for all that you for our lil B.!!”
“Second time with Judith and as always - didn’t disappoint and Atlas runs to her! He loves Judith! She is extremely flexible! When I had an early morning flight, Judith was willing to let me drop Atlas off in the middle of the night on my way to the airport. She was super accommodating and as always thoughtful, making Atlas a friendship bracelet! 🥹”

Stefany and her husband were super accommodating with my high-maintenance dog. He is a large pit bull and can be a little intimidating, but they were the only sitters who warmly welcomed him. He had a fantastic time going for walks, hanging out in their yard, and relaxing with them. Their communication was amazing—whenever I asked for an update, they responded quickly and sent pictures. They also made sure he took all of his medications right on time. They are wonderful dog sitters, and we will definitely be booking with them again!
Erica was wonderful with our three dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter and would happily book with her again.
Absolutely amazing! Wonderful caregivers, safe environment and pet friendly environment. Caregivers own pets and understand firsthand the concerns and needs of pet owners. Caregivers are compassionate, kind, trustworthy, and overall phenomenal! I would bring my cats there again in a second! Recommend!!
I recently used Andria's service and left my Nina in her care for 10 days. I am very pleased with the overall experience. Andria is very quick in communicating before and during the stay. She sent regular updates and pics during the stay. My pet came home very Happy. Andria and her family took great care of my pet. She is going to be my go-to sitter for all future needs. I highly recommend Andria
We just had our dog Frida stay with Iris for 6 days and could not be happier with the absolute best care Frida received. We are first timers with Rover and were a bit hesitant doing a service. Frida is an 8lb little dog and wanted someone who does one dog/family at a time and this is what Iris does. We were so happy to find this with Iris. Her whole family loved and cared for our Frida and we are so appreciative for this special and kind care. We 100% recommend Iris and definitely found a great pet sitter. Also, I like that Frida was never left alone the whole 6 days. I was afraid she wouldn't want to come home lol. Book with Iris!!!
Karin really came through for us and our pup on a last minute booking. After a meetup with her and her dog we determined that she would be a great fit to care for our little guy. Karin was responsive and sent photo updates regularly throughout the stay. This helped to put us at ease since it is a new puppy to us and a very young dog. Can’t recommend Karin enough and we are grateful to have found someone so close to us that we can hopefully use in the future! Thanks again!
Yolanda was incredibly responsible and caring while taking care of Aurora. She provided regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Aurora had a wonderful time and even got along well with the other cat in the home. It was obvious that Yolanda truly cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely trust her with Aurora again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Elmhurst is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $57 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 5,594 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elmhurst. About 90% of Elmhurst 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
