“Jasmin was absolutely amazing with my Zoey! From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby with her. She sent me pictures, videos, and daily updates, and I could tell Zoey was happy, comfortable, and having the best time. Zoey was so excited to meet her and settle in for her stay! Unfortunately, Zoey got sick during the visit, and Jasmin truly went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and willing to do whatever she could to make sure Zoey was comfortable and well cared for. Having someone care for your baby with that level of patience and compassion, especially when you're away from home, means everything. I can't recommend Jasmin enough! We already know exactly who we'll be calling for our next vacation. We officially found the perfect sitter for Zoey! ❤️🐾”
“Kelly was nice, accomdating, and put me at ease. She sent me updates and photos a few times a day, that we always look forward to. It was nice to do a meet and greet before hand so my dogs are comfortable going back there. Her whole family treated my dogs like their own. We will definitely be using Kelly in the future.”
“Wonderful experience with Nicole. She was very communicative and helped us out on fairly short notice over a holiday weekend. All three of our dogs were happy and seemed to have had made themselves right at home when we arrived for pickup. Thanks Nicole!”
“Stephanie W was absolutely amazing with our dog, HoneyBun. She treated her like a princess from the moment she arrived and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. HoneyBun was well cared for, taken on walks, and Stephanie kept us updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing HoneyBun was in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I highly recommend Stephanie W to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”
“Loya and her 2 pups made Frankie's stay feel like home. We don't leave her behind often, but when we do - we are calling Loya. Very friendly & flexible. She sent me updates with photos and videos.”
“I can’t thank her enough for helping me out on such short notice! She took my dog in last minute for the weekend and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated, treated my dog like one of her own, and it was obvious my pup was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can trust when unexpected things come up. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again!”
“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”
“Ashley and her family were such good hosts for my doodle, Herman. He is a 1.5 year old big baby. It was evident in the photos and correspondence while I was away that he was getting all the attention he was used to—and more! Ashley was very responsive throughout Herman’s 6 night stay. I highly recommend letting her watch and care for your fur-baby too!”
“Rachael did SUCH an amazing job taking care of Scooby! She had excellent communication and I loved the updates she sent. Scooby can be a bit anxious and reactive with other dogs and Rachael was great with her. I could tell Scooby had a great time and would have happily stayed longer!”
“Wonderful experience with a genuinely caring sitter! Carol provided excellent care for my two cats while my family and I were on an extended trip out of town. The kitties received lots of attention and interaction while we were away. Carol provided pictures and updates during the cat’s stay with her. Overall, they were very happy and content in their new environment. I absolutely recommend Carol for anyone needing cat sitting services.”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 20 years for friends and family. Beau loved to have playmates and loves to have fur baby company!! My love for animals will be noticed immediately when I meet your pet!! I gravitate to them in parks, stores, neighborhood walks and they do to me! My frenchie goes most places either me including to work, stores, tennis club and even Freddy’s! Dogs are family and I will treat yours like mine! I’m available to board pets from Friday afternoon through Sunday nights or early pick up on Monday am. I provide Daycare on Tuesdays. I can often be flexible with individual needs. I have a very nice one story home in beautiful, safe neighborhood. My Frenchie welcomes your pet so he has a playmate or resting buddy. We take walks at least twice daily. House is open floor plan for plenty space to play. We spend time on my large enclosed patio to toss the ball and plenty sitting and relaxing areas. I will always be on patio with pets. They will never be left out without me as my own practice with my Frenchie. Free feeding and water all day unless you requests different. When I leave house the pets will be gated in room separated unless you request your pet crated. My frenchie will also be in separate room. Your pet will love it here with me and Beau! They will get best personal care and plenty attention.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’m a dog mom myself and genuinely love getting to spend time with other people’s pups. I started dog sitting for family and friends and loved it enough that I decided to branch out and meet some new furry friends! I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I know every dog has their own personality, quirks, and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes your pup happiest and most comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner, I also know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away without worrying about how your pup is doing. Expect lots of love, attention, playtime, and plenty of picture updates! Basically, I’m very happy being the person who talks to your dog like they’re a human and sends you way too many pictures of them. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pup throughout the day! I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and bedtime routine so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, dogs are always leashed and supervised outside, and I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and multiple walks throughout the day. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands. I’ll follow any instructions you provide and do my best to keep their routine consistent while you’re away.
“Nicole and Tim were absolutely great! Good communicators and sent photos and updates throughout our dogs stay. She can be a little particular but settled in immediately and it felt like she got her own vacation while we were on ours. Will definitely book them again!”
“Rosie stayed with Jordan for a long first stay, and she was a very happy pup when we picked her up. Jordan was really easy to coordinate with. We would definitely have Rosie stay with him again!”
“Reba was wonderful with our 7-month old puppy! She made sure he had plenty of play opportunities and kept us updated with pictures throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Matt was wonderful, very responsive and very helpful while we were away! He took care of our little guy Auggie like he was his own! I couldn’t recommend Matt enough!!”
“Mindy took such great care of Fred. Her home is perfect for dogs and he seemed comfortable and happy from the moment he got there. Communication was excellent and Fred clearly had a good time in her care.”

Kayla accepted my boarding request last minute and took excellent care of my pup. She listened to my spiel about my pup’s care, and asked great clarifying questions that let me know she was experienced and has a strong attention to detail. I felt confident that her and her family gave my pup plenty of love during her stay. Will happily book again.
Jenay was great and I can tell her and her kids love all the pups that come to their house. My golden retriever ran right into her house when I dropped him off and the daily pics Jenay sent me showed just how much fun he had. It was so lovely to not have to worry about my pup and if he was safe and happy! Will definitely be back next time we are out of town. Highly recommend! She is extremely sweet and responds very quickly which I think all pet parents can appreciate! Thanks again Jenay

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fairview Heights is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 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 of October 2026, there are 909 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fairview Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Fairview Heights can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fairview Heights home-away-from-home, 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 Fairview Heights.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fairview Heights 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 , 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 .
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.
