“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“Giselle is a fantastic dog sitter! She has taken excellent care of my dog on more than one occasion. My dog is excited to see her and her daughters every time—to me that is everything! Highly recommend!”
About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.
“Steph was awesome! This was my first experience with Rover and I have a Boykin Spaniel, which is a 16 month old 40lb high energy hunting machine. She excepted the challenge and treated Kola like he was her own. Very pleased with the whole experience and Steph. I took a fly-in fishing to the northern woods of Canada and due to fires and bad weather in the area had to extend my stay for an additional two days up there because the float plane couldn't come get us. Steph rearranged her schedule to accommodate me. I didn't expect her to do that but greatly appreciate her for doing so. I highly recommend Steph, will use her again in the future (that is if she'll let me LOL).”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I offer calm, attentive, one-on-one boarding in a clean and peaceful home. As a former groomer, I’m skilled in handling anxious, shy, or energetic dogs, and I’m confident in brushing, basic hygiene care, and reading canine body language. I currently have one friendly Shiba Inu at home, and I only host one client at a time—ensuring your dog receives my full attention and a safe, low-stress environment. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, slow walks, or quiet company, I adjust my care based on their routine and comfort level. Feel free to send me a message—I'd love to learn about your dog and how I can make their stay feel like home. Your dog’s care is naturally built into my daily routine. We start the morning with a refreshing walk, breakfast, and some calm bonding time. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy structured potty breaks, enrichment games, and plenty of supervised relaxation. You will receive updates during these key moments—morning, afternoon, and evening—so you’ll always know how your dog is settling in. I stay closely aligned with your dog’s normal schedule to reduce stress and help them feel at home quickly. Consistency, supervision, and comfort are always my priorities. I provide full-time supervision when boarding, maintain a clean living space, and follow each dog’s feeding, medication, and potty schedule exactly as instructed. Dogs are never left unsupervised around my Shiba Inu, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Our dog Taco LOVES staying with Tyler and how wife (and their two dogs). They are incredibly accommodating and have gone the extra mile to make our pup feel like he's part of their family. Taco is always so excited to go to their home, and you can tell they've created a bond. I know our dog is being cared for AND that he's having a blast. We're so grateful for Tyler and his family! 100% recommend”
“Roberto and his family welcomed my dog to his family who are all dog lovers. He was well cared for and enjoyed his time with them. Would confidently recommend Roberto.”
“John and Kerry were excellent sitters! My dog adjusted to them without any issues. They were very understanding of senior and somewhat quirky dogs. I will definitely use them again and would definitely recommend them!”
“My dogs loved their stay! Mallika was kind and understanding to my pets. She was very communicative through pics and videos and text updates. She was even kind to my one dog during a thunderstorm (he hates storms).”
“Jorge and family are wonderful people! Stanley had a great time and was well taken care of. Jorge’s home is perfectly suited for our dog’s needs and we will definitely be back when needed in the future. Thank you!”
“Barbara had great communication and provided pics and updates. I appreciated that she provided my pup with lots of activity and our dog was pooped when she got home!”
“Izzy is the best! Sometimes we’ve had to book overnight boarding last minute, but she has always been available for us which helps us so much. She’s so kind and truly loves our fur baby Pippen. When we drive up, our normally nervous pup gets so excited. We feel so lucky to have met her!”
“Vicki and her family are fantastic with Daisy. Daisy is always happy when we pick her up. Daisy gets a lot of play time. Vicki is very flexible on timing. She absolutely loves Daisy and it shows. ❤️”
“Their house was very clean and so was their super large back yard. Both their dogs are super friendly and we felt super safe to leave our dog in their house. The best part is they keep sending us pics of him. We would leave him with Mark and Julie again in the future :)”
“My pup was well taken care of. She came home a happy girl. I let was nice receiving pictures while I was away. And getting regular updates. I look forward to using her again in the future and recommend her services to others.”

Kimberly was a great host to our two dogs while we were away for an extended 10-day vacation. She was prompt and forthright in her communication and gave great updates. You can tell she really cares about your animals and that makes the world of difference. Would highly recommend and use her again!
Annika and Grant were wonderful with our 4-month-old kitten! We were naturally a little nervous to leave her since she’s still so young, but they were both incredibly kind, caring, and easygoing. They sent us daily updates and were always responsive whenever I reached out, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their sweet cat also got along great with our kitten, which was such a bonus for her to have a little playmate! We’re so grateful for the care they gave her and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters.
Thrudy & her boys took wonderful care of Poppy! She kept us updated with photos of walks at a local park and the lake. Poppy seemed at ease from the start. It was obvious that her kids also love dogs. Knowing our pup was in good care gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!
We had such a great experience with Edgar watching Koa over Labor Day weekend! Koa seemed right at home from the start—he ate well, got lots of playtime with Edgar’s kids and their dog London, and seemed so happy and comfortable when we picked him up. Edgar was incredibly thoughtful about the whole process and even set up a meet-and-greet beforehand so Koa and London could get to know each other and so we could see the space and feel comfortable leaving Koa there. He was kind, communicative, and genuinely caring, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Edgar watch Koa again!
Robert did a great job with our weimaraner Geddy. He gave him lots of good exercise and worked with Geddy’s quirks. Robert kept us updated throughout our trip. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely plan to use him in the future. Thanks for everything Robert.
Ashley was incredible! She sent an update with pictures every evening so we knew what they were up to and gave peace of mind while missing our girl. She was so attentive to Winnie - Let us know when her ear seemed to bother her and was down to clean her ears and offered to go purchase solution if needed. She checked with us prior to be sure Winnie could have a piece of Thanksgiving turkey and even got her a special toy during her own errand run which she still carries around. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Would recommend to anyone!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Glendale Heights is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $50 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 5,536 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Glendale Heights. About 91% of Glendale Heights 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.
