“Jenny is a fantastic dog sitter! We were a bit nervous to leave our 6 month old puppy when we went out of town. But Jenny took fantastic care of her. Jenny gave her lots of love, attention, and exercise. We would definitely re-book with Jenny in the future!”
“Barbara took excellent care of our two dogs. She sent a ton of pictures so I always knew what they were doing and that they were happy on their doggie vacation. Both ate and slept really well at Barbara's house.”
“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!”
“Ruth was very attentive to Indy and groomed her while doing the same for another dog. She was responsive when I reached out to see how Indy was doing, and I will bring Indy back for future trips.”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”

About: Hi! I’m Michael, an animal lover based in Oak Park. I’ve had dogs in my life for years and genuinely love spending time with them, whether that means going for a long walk, playing, giving them plenty of attention, or just keeping them company while their person is away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, so I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with different personalities and energy levels, from dogs who want to be out exploring to dogs who would rather curl up and relax. I don’t currently have any dogs living with me, so if your pet is staying with me, they won’t have to adjust to resident dogs and can get plenty of one-on-one attention. Peanut-free home due to a severe allergy—please do not bring peanut-containing treats or food. I’m a lifelong dog lover based in oak park. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Message me for availability. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always walk pups on secure, well-fitted harnesses or leashes and avoid high-traffic or overly crowded areas when possible. I’m attentive to each dog’s pace, behavior, and boundaries—especially with seniors or those with special needs. You can trust that I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, with consistent routines, clear communication, and plenty of care. I’m happy to provide updates and photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands.
“We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Katherine and her beautiful family! Oliver seemed quite at home there. We typically have angst when leaving Oliver with the big doggie daycare chains, especially for several days. A home environment where there are people who care, interact, play and walk our pup puts us much more at ease.”
“Angel is a great communicator. He takes such good care of my old pup. He find inventive things for her to do, to make her comfortable, and even encourage her to eat! So thankful for him!”
“Ruben was great with Pip. I really appreciated getting photos and videos of Pip getting acclimated to the environment and other dogs since it was his first time w Ruben!”
“Grace was an awesome sitter for my dog! She watched Banzo over the weekend and I could tell Banzo was very well taken care of and happy. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“A+++++!!!! Barbara and Chewy were absolutely incredible hosts!! We can't say enough about how thoughtful, generous, kind, and communicative that Barbara was during our trip. We were very anxious about leaving our dog (this was our first time using Rover), and she put us at ease, sent frequent updates (including pictures and videos), and was extremely thorough, dedicated, and friendly, and followed our care instructions extremely seriously. Her dog Chewy is a sweetheart who seems to be great as a co-host :) We absolutely recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter, and we are so grateful to her for this experience!”
“Sam was great with my two dogs including one senior dog and one with a chronic health issue. Drop off and pickup were seamless and pups came home happy and healthy. Communication was top notch. Will definitely book again. So happy to have found Sam!”
“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!”
“Alyssa and Skylar were amazing with Rio! They responded right away and kept in constant communication while I was away, which really put my family and me at ease so we could fully enjoy our trip. This was my first time using Rover, and I will definitely be booking with Alyssa and Skylar again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Park
Jasmin & her pup, Andy, were our dog’s dream come true. Peach was showered with love, play with Andy, time in the beautiful yard, and plenty of walking. Delightful pics and videos were sent daily. Truly the highest quality sitters on the Rover market. Thank you to Jasmin & family!
Anette was so kind and wonderful. She kept me updated daily with photos and my dogs were so well taken care of while boarding! 10/10 would recommend her. One of my senior dogs has some health issues but Anette skillfully administered her daily medications, and kept me updated. I will definitely reach out again to rebook pet boarding with Anette in the future.
Luciano & Luciene S kept my 2 boston terriers, male 3 years and female 2 years, and I will definitely use them again. Took my doggos on several long walks (since my doggos like to sniff and mark a lot and look for squirrels) and sent me pictures daily. Doggos looked very happy in all the pics and were well kept when I picked them up. I also liked that they had bowls and toys so I didn't need to bring those. I highly recommend.
Eniya and her family are the best. They cared for Rah twice, and each time has been a wonderful experience. When walking up to Eniya's house this past and second time, Rah ran up and was happy to be back. That did everything for me. Once more, during her stay, even while the family was handling unforeseen situations, Eniya still tended to Rah with high regard. Full hearted endorsement of Eniya!
This was my first time having my dog stay with anyone not family. He immediately got along with Robert and was not anxious. When I picked him up, still upbeat attitude and no signs of distress. I could even hear him barking when I was walking towards the door on pickup day, which means he already considered Robert's place like home and was scaring off strangers 👍🏾. Robert was really easy to talk and coordinate with. He sent me photos if requested. He took the necessary precautions we discussed for my dog-aggressive dog, and didn't seem uncomfortable at any point.
Carolina is great with Zeke! She was able to take him for the week and provided wonderful updates. She gave him tons of playtime, walks, and he even ate normally (he usually does a hunger strike when he boards). So Zeke is very comfortable with her in her home & she has another Min Pin Zeke gets along with! Thanks to her for all her help and care for our furry child!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Forest Park on Rover is $49.95 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 5,413 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Forest Park. About 91% of Forest Park 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.

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.
