“Brian is wonderful. He and his family were so accommodating to our shifting pick up times due to family circumstances. And they took such great care of our boy. His stay was over the holidays, and Brian was so thoughtful to get Indy a Christmas chew toy of his own. He also was so great and proactive about sending daily updates and photos - that hasn’t always been our experience with others. Such a great stay, and Indy will be happy to go back to his new friends when the occasion arises.”
“Gabriela & Richard took awesome care of my Tyson, I feel lucky to have found people who took such great care of my pup! Every picture or video they shared showed him as being completely comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend them!”
“Our sweet dog happily boarded for a week while we were on vacation. We loved seeing all of the videos of her throughout our time away. Thanks for taking such great care of her!”
“I love Jonelle & her family! She is very nice, super accommodating, has great communication and genuinely loves animals! Dakota took to her immediately and I’m starting to think she’s sad that she’s back home! 😬 ! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my big baby! ❤️”
“Rizwan and Noorjahan were so great with my dog Oliver. I had a family emergency while also being away and they were patient and accommodating with me arranging this short notice sitting. I really appreciated their policies that align with my dog’s needs, their communication, photos, and their kindness. I felt very comfortable knowing Oliver was being cared for by them.”
“Conor and his family watched our 2 little dogs for a weekend and we’ve never been more comfortable with a place we’ve had watch them! Conor was an excellent communicator, frequently updating us with pictures and updates of our little guys just to let us know that all was well. Our little dogs were really comfortable there all weekend, and we will absolutely have Conor and his family at the top of our list for boarding next time we need help. It was a great experience sending our dogs to stay with someone so kind and trustworthy. We will be using them again soon. Highly recommend!”
“Amazing sitter! Our puppy had a great time and was calm, tired and happy when we picked him up. Thank you for all the pictures and for being so flexible. Definitely coming back!”
“Rico and his wife were such a great hosts for Wylie. We felt so good about leaving him in good hands. They played with him in their yard, walked him, and just overall took great care of him. He is excited for his next stay and we are definitely booking with Rico again.”
“Chad and his wife have been great hosts for Rufus, he kept me updated periodically with pictures and videos. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to pet boarding services”
“Jonathon and his family took good care of our dog while we were away two weeks. We have come to feel confident that he will be happy and healthy after a stay with Jonathon!”
“Sailor had a great time with his stay-cation with Tanya! Tanya is clearly comfortable with dogs of all types, including big boys like ours. Her home and yard is doggie heaven - I think I even caught Sailor wistfully looking behind him as we drove off after pick up! I appreciated the frequent communication since our guy does have some quirks. We will definitely look to Tanya for future care.”
“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”
“My bichon poodle could not have been happier to be around other small pups during her visit over spring break. Diana even gave my dog fresh dog food when my dog wasn’t eating at all. Seems like my pup was so happy during her stay! Will book again! Thanks Diana.”
“Once again, Elva did an amazing job caring for our pup Frankie. Frankie has some stomach issues and she took extra special care of him and gave him his meds. I never worry when Elva takes care of Frankie and that peace of mind is priceless. Thank you, Elva!”
“Ruben was fantastic! We will definitely book again asap. He provided tons of updates on our dog, Ziggy, and made sure he felt comfortable. He was extremely flexible with our schedule and responsive! I am usually hesitant to leave Ziggy with new sitters but I knew right away that he was in great hands with Ruben. I’m sure he had a blast and looks forward to going back! Thank you Ruben!”
“I can't thank Troy enough for watching Kash on such short notice! I was in a bind, and they were a lifesaver. Kash came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign. I got updates and pictures throughout the time I was away, which gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% recommend Troy to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!"”
“As always, Joerg and Lake took such good care of Luna! She is always so loved over there and has the best time playing with their pup Lizzie. I always know she is safe in their hands! Thanks again for being the absolute best, Joerg and Lake! ❤️❤️”

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.
Kaitlin took great care of my cat at her place. She sent updates regularly and responded quickly. In our initial call she came prepared with the right questions showing that she knew exactly what needs to be done to take care of pets. I will definitely ask her to take care of my cat in future.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 5,566 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Harwood Heights. About 91% of Harwood 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 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.
