“Kim is responsive and friendly and sweet with my babies. She did some extra travel and pickup of meds I didn’t plan for without hesitation. Having her with my kitties gave me one less thing to worry about!”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
“When Noodles is with Doug and Deb, we rest easy on our trips knowing he is well cared for and entertained. We’ve experienced short stays and a longer stay recently for one week. I love to see how responsive he is with them, telling me he enjoys spending time in their home. The pictures we receive from Doug & Deb show Noodles around their home, happy and content. Doug & Deb are truly amazing and a stay with them feels like being at home!”
“Rob has went above and beyond for my Nova. I had to make a very hard decision to possibly putting her in a shelter, but he said “no” I will keep her until a loving home is found for her. It has happen and it’s going to be bitter sweet, Rob is loving her as she deserves. Thank you Rob for your loving heart and passion.”
“We have used Rover for a number of sitters and walkers in the past, and Janette and Charlie are the first ones we've used more than once! They send a ton of photos and videos, and are incredibly flexible with drop-offs/pickups. I know my dog is always in good hands whenever she stays with them!”
“Laura and Vladimir were great! I was gone for about two weeks and they sent me pictures and updates on my pup Roy. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but I knew that Roy was in excellent hands ❤️. Thank you!”
“This was Daisy’s first stay with Joe but it won’t be her last! Joe clearly loves dogs and that gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the photos and videos he shared with us. It was great to see Daisy enjoying herself with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Both of our dogs absolutely adored their time with Jackie and her family, our pups miss them already. Every day we received plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious they were being loved, spoiled with attention, and enjoying lots of playtime. They came home happy, healthy, and tired from all the fun. We’re so grateful for the incredible care and will definitely be booking again!”
“Julia was amazing! Our pup had so much fun. She can be sensitive and Julia was great with understanding her dietary needs, medication, and need to balance activity with rest. We are so excited to have found Julia and Vali can’t wait to go back!”
“Guadalupe was great with my Rudy! Very attentive. She kept me up to date with updates on him. I felt comfort leaving my sweet boy with her while I traveled for work. I plan on booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“Maria is such an excellent sitter ! My dog Zion loves to go to her house, and I feel so comfortable leaving him with her ! Highly recommend booking with Maria !”
“Arlene took great care of my elderly dog Bernie over Thanksgiving on very short notice. She was flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. Bernie can be particular, but she was calm and confident with him right away. She was also responsive when I checked in. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Carla and her roommate took such great care of my girl. I had to find care last minute before a trip, and Carla was available and accommodating. She sent regular updates and great pics. Both my dog and I were really happy with Carla and definitely plan to use her again!”
“Sasha was awesome! They took great care of our dog and kept us updated with photos. We could tell our pup was happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!”
“Frankie is a rescued breeder dog and has some head noise from his previous life, especially when it comes to cages and restraints. He also has separation anxiety when he spends time away from his new family. But every now and then we all need a vacation - right? Soooo happy to have found Suzanne, she was perfect to watch Frankie while we were away. Gentle, kind and patient, I could tell she really cared. She regularly sent pictures and corresponded. Couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience!”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“If you have an anxious dog like mine, who needs a quiet, less-stimulating environment, Karla is perfect. She is reliable, communicative, and understands a dog's needs. I'm a repeat customer and highly recommend her.”
“A sincere thank you to Angelica for looking after my puppy for several days, even a day longer than I had anticipated due to serious travel issues from Boston. I cannot thank Angelica enough. If she permits, I will be looking to book Angelica's services routinely in the future. Thank you sincerely Angelica. Patricio,”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”

I had the best experience with Carla and her roommate! They were so attentive to my baby Dulce for a 3 day and 3 night boarding and treated her with their utmost love and care. I highly recommend letting them take care of your furbabies and will definitely be booking again! ❤️🙏
Leslie was a fantastic dogsitter!! I will definitely be rebooking. She took great care of my pup who has been sick and takes some medication. She sent daily updates and photos and took excellent care of him. I didn’t worry about a thing. Leslie is also super warm and friendly and was flexible with us. I really enjoyed working with her.
Georgia was AMAZING! She was so flexible and constantly was sending me pictures/updates. The care she provided my pup was exceptional. Her doggy Livy is also perfection and did so well with my pup. Will most definitely always come back to Georgia when I need a sitter!
Nelia took great care of my dog while I was away on vacation! She regularly took my dog on walks, updated me, and constantly sent photos and videos which I really appreciated! My dog was very happy while she was sitting and when I picked her up. I’ll definitely rebook some other time.
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sasha received while we were away for the weekend. Jasmin and her husband were incredibly sweet, kind, and loving, and from the moment we met them, we knew Sasha was in great hands. Knowing our girl was being cared for and loved on like one of their own gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup, and that means everything to us. We truly appreciate the kindness they showed Sasha and would gladly trust them with her again. Highly recommend!
Abaigael was amazing with Aya! She sent frequent updates and I could tell from the pictures that Aya was so happy with her and her family! Super friendly and communicative, I'm super grateful to know Aya was in great company! Oh and she has the cutest pup! Thanks again!
Tim did a fantastic job watching my dog, Simba. He was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. Simba was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Simba!
I have been leaving my dogs at Robs place for over a year now. My dogs are always excited when they get there and are always having a good time playing with the other pups there. Rob always sends videos of him walking our dogs and of them playing with others which is always great to see. I will continue using Rob for future stays!
This is the 2nd time I have used Tanya and she is the absolute BEST!!! She went above and beyond to watch my senior dog!! I always worry especially now that my dog is almost 14, but I don’t worry at all when my dog is at her house! She takes tons of great pictures and videos! You could tell that my dog loves it at her house!! She and her husband are the nicest people! Seriously, I can’t say enough good things about her! She should be the model of how every Rover should be!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Harwood Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Harwood Heights on Rover is $53.5 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 5,399 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Harwood Heights. 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 Harwood Heights 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 Harwood Heights 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 Harwood Heights 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 Harwood Heights.
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 Harwood 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 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.
