“Sophia and Andy are a dream team! This was my first Rover experience, though my sisters have been hosts for many years. Sophia and Andy took such great care of my dog, and sent thoughtful updates and pictures every day. Will definitely use them again.”
“Rico did a great job taking care of our senior rescue dog, Fritz! He sent lots of pictures, was quick to respond when I asked a question, and was very tolerant of Fritz’s quirks . We could tell Fritz was treated like part of the family!”
“Sasha's great !! Bella loved her and her 2 dogs, Chewy and Nacho. She certainly enjoyed herself because she was pooped when she got home. Will definitely come back if they'll have her :)”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my dog Pumpkin to Eric, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding care she received. It was evident that Eric is not just a caregiver but has a true passion for animals. Communication was seamless and reassuring throughout the entire process. Eric took the time to understand my dog's unique needs, preferences, and routines, ensuring a smooth transition during my time away. Regular updates, including photos and videos, provided an invaluable connection while I was away. Upon my return, it was clear that my dog had not just been well cared for but had genuinely enjoyed her time with Eric making the transition back home easy!”
“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”
“Angelica is the nicest most sincere person I have met on Rover. It was my 2 dogs that were equally on a great vacation maybe even better than mine. The dogs have a ramp to their bed, other dogs to play with and a great environment to play and live. A+++. She also was extremely accommodating to our schedule and sent wonderful pictures. Will DEFINITELY use 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!”
“Elva is very communicative and was so great with Sloan while watching her over the 4th of July. Sloan is already very anxious so the fireworks don’t help, but she was very calm and well taken care of when I picked her up.”
“Ruben is an awesome caretaker of my Pittie baby Capone. He is very professional and Capone had a great time with Rubens fur babies. Capone was delighted when he was dropped off and picked up. We are so grateful to have found Ruben!”
“Brian (and Lauren) we’re great. Easy to work with and good at communicating. I will definitely keep them in my short list. If your dog needs long walks, Brian is IN. He takes their dog out on 2-3 mile walks. They also have a back yard and space to keep the dogs separate, if that’s what they need.”
“Tony was so great with our dog, Bean! Upon meeting him, our dog just walked with him and didn’t even look back! He also gave us constant updates - sharing photos and messages to make sure we know our dog is comfy and in great hands. We are so grateful that we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away!”
“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!”
“Susan was delightful and such a caring friend to Galway. She communicated well and had a natural love for my pup. Her dog Isla is the cutest and makes a wonderful playmate. A great time was had by all!”
“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!”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“I was nervous to leave my pup with separation anxiety with another person, especially after my last experience leaving my pup with someone (he escaped!) but Chad sent frequent updates, photos, and videos and he and his wife seemed very caring of him. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Joerg and Lake were fantastic with our pup! You can tell they are really kind hearted people who love animals. We got regular updates and felt super comfortable during our trip knowing Sully was in good hands. Will definitely be re booking with them!!”
“Diana & Scott were wonderful! I felt super comfortable leaving my elderly dog with them and could tell she was very well taken care of! Also they sent great pictures! Would definitely recommend them!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harwood Heights
Sarah was absolutely amazing with Rocky! She treated him like he was part of her own family, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear from every message how much she genuinely cared about him. We never had to wonder how he was doing because she kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would gladly trust Sarah with Rocky again. Highly recommend!
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!
Marie was an absolute angel. She truly cared for my 100lb baby like he was family. She is knowledgeable and really went out of her way to ensure that he was comfortable, engaged and exercised. Marie additionally worked w/ my pup on his leash skills and behavior. I 100% would recommend her for any pet, large or small, and all personality types. The world needs more animal lovers like her in the world. Thank you, Marie! You are truly the best☘️
Ishaly was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious my dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved while in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!
Camille and Joe are wonderful. They are sweet people who are conscientious of both humans and animals. The updates I receive are relevant and spunky, they are flexible to work with, their home is tidy and spacious, and the way my dog runs in and makes himself at home every time we drop him off shows me how comfortable they make him feel as a guest. Thank you, Joe and Camille!
We had a great experience with Nelia. This was my first time using rover, and I found Nelia 3 days before we had to leave for a trip. She responded quickly, and gave us all the information we needed to make a great drop off of our dog Duke. I received daily updates and pictures about his activities, and was very impressed. Duke was ready and waiting for us on pick up. Awesome experience, and I will definitely take him there again!
Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.
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! ❤️🙏

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.

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.
