“Eniya was so wonderful. She took great care of King as if he were her own. She communicated everyday sending pictures and videos. I was at ease knowing that he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again when I need. Thank you so much Eniya!”
“I'm incredibly grateful to Maria and her daughter for taking care of my dog. Theo is a senior citizen who needs extra care. Maria was terrific with him.”
“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”
“I contacted Micheal on Wednesday evening after having lost power for 12 hours. They were very responsive and booked my two cats right away for the weekend. They send me photos every day and kept me up to date on how the cats were doing. Highly recommend them.”
“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine and family is amazing with my pup, Aspen. The communication is great. My pup gets great care, and so much love. It makes going away easy. This last visit, they even gave Aspen a toy to bring home 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you Katherine and family.”
“Lorraine was amazing with my pup-achinos. I have two dogs, one is a surrender and one is a rescue. After having some bad experiences with past sitters and boarding, I was starting to settle for having the Vet Kennel them while I was away. I love my dogs and sometimes I want people to love them the way I do, and she DEFINATLEY does! Lorraine is a natural care giver and has a great calm demeanor. They took to her right away, even my rescue who is very shy and is afraid of the washing machine. Lorraine is very attentive to both of them and their separate needs, sent pictures to me the whole time I was away and I never had to ask. They always look happy and comfortable, able to hang out on her back deck which they LOVE. Outside time is their favorite!! She did walks with them, too! I felt so comfortable to have them with her, she is very responsible, flexible, and responsive! So grateful to have met her.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Ruben is a first-class boarder, and I couldn't be happier with Luna's stay with him. He was always amazingly quick to reply to every message and kept me updated with pictures. Luna and I both look forward to the next time!”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Elizabeth was so responsive, kind, and treated my dog as if it were her own. She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. Her kids were super gentle with my timid dog and I could tell that the entire family went out of their way to make my dog feel at home. Would definitely book again!”
“Rob, is a great sitter. I just got a new position and would have to rehome my Nova. He said no she is not going to a shelter she can stay as long as you need her too. The reviews I have seen are very upsetting because when my flight was late, he said Nova was sleeping and just come her the next day without an extra charge. My Nova had her buddy Delta that he send pictures of once or twice a week. Rob does a good job of care, love and support.”
“Outstanding experience. Shirley was very thorough with communication, made things easy for us and our dog had a great time with her. I don’t think he wanted to come home. Definitely recommend.”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
“This was our puppy’s first time being away from us and Connie helped it go smoothly! She was great at sending a couple pictures while we were away, and when we picked him up, he was clearly very happy and comfortable in her home. She’s warm and welcoming.”
“Rae was amazing! She has a pup as well and Duke got along with him well. Rae even met me halfway to drop Duke off. And when I picked him up, she sent him home with some toys that she had that he enjoyed playing with. 10/10!!!!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Forest Park is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Park
Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!
Katalina and her partner were extremely nurturing, kind, patient, and very intentional with our Milo! They kept communication throughout their time with him, sending me pictures and updates. I have had multiple families watch our little guy and I have never had such a wonderful experience. Thank you so much.
Yolanda was incredibly communicative, reliable, and took wonderful care of Atlas. He had such a great stay! She even surprised us with a thoughtful goodie bag and an adorable photo of Atlas when we picked him up. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Yolanda, and we'll definitely book with her again!
Bailey took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog Abby, going above and beyond to be sure Abby felt safe and comfortable. Bailey is well versed in the needs of older dogs and we were so appreciative of her efforts to be sure Abby ate (she is a fussy eater) and got lots of exercise (Abby loves to walk). We hope to book time Abby to stay with Bailey during our next trip out of town and recommend Bailey as with great enthusiasm and no hesitations. Thank you Bailey!
Alicia, was an outstanding host for our pups.she met us at a park before booking to get to know the dogs and had me over to her place so I could see where they would stay. I have two bigger dogs and one is a senior. She gave meds no problem. One of the pups was feeling sick from the extreme heat. She was quick to switch to a mild diet to keep him comfortable. She updated daily with photos and videos of how they were doing. I am not sure that you will find a more conscientious, loving, and communicative pet sitter. She was amazing.
I left my baby puppy with Jasmin and her husband for a week, and they were absolutely amazing. They kept in contact the whole time, and updated me with occasional pictures and videos. She’s so nice, and after our first meeting I was completely comfortable leaving my little puppy in her care. It’s always been incredibly important that my dogs receive adequate attention and care, and I know she did the absolute most when it comes to my Moonpie. I’d definitely book again.
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. Things could not have gone smoother. I met with her in advance of the booking. She clearly loves dogs and taking care of them. My dog is very active and she has a nice backyard for the dogs to run and play. She then had to coordinate with my son on the pickup as I was still out of town. She was very accommodating and helpful with both of us. Will 100% use again!
We had a great experience with Stacy! We started with a meet and greet, and she was wonderful with our 10-year-old dog, Reggie. She was super friendly, communicated clearly throughout, and it was obvious from the start that she genuinely loves dogs. Reggie especially enjoyed all the time she spent with him outside, which is one of his favorite things. We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care and would happily recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Forest Park on Rover is $48.15 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,398 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Forest Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Forest Park sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Forest Park landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Forest Park home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Forest Park.
Tip: 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 Forest Park 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
