“Chachi had a lovely time, made himself at home right away and curled up for a nap on a bed and some blankets. He awoke to have treats, some pets and a nice walk. Thanks Mark!”
“Beau had such a wonderful stay. It was great getting updates and pictures on a regular basis. Beau enjoyed playing with his new fur buddies. They definitely made sure Beau was well taken care of. We look forward to another stay in the future.”
“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”
“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!”
“Best dog sitter Rylee (my dog) and I have ever had. It’s her home away from home. She comes home happy, healthy, and super sleepy from all the play. We are so lucky to have found this beautiful family. Thank you!!!!”
“Elva is absolutely wonderful and we would highly recommend her. She watched our two small dogs for a week and was extremely communicative, understanding, and caring. Our dogs can be anxious to new environments and she went above and beyond to make them (and us) feel comfortable while we were gone. We loved the daily pictures and updates, and it was very apparent the dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay! Thank you so much, Elva!”
“Sophie was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Charlie. Charlie took to her right away. She knew a true dog lover! I had daily updates and photos of activities. I highly recommend Sophie to look after your pet. Sophie’s treats your pet like her own and does so with love.”
“Jiyeon was great! We’ve used her in the past, and every time we know our pup will be well cared for! We got so many videos and pictures, and in all of them, we could see what a great time they were having! 10/10 would recommend Jiyeon! Great communication and we love how she takes dogs for a walk right when they get there! Helps them settle in!”
“Jamison was fantastic! He took great care of our pup, gave us regular updates and pictures, and had a kind and caring personality. We’ll definitely be asking for him next time we have to leave town.”
“We’ve been preparing for this long stay with a few overnight stays to get our dog Poppy To get acclimated. Poppy stayed with Noor and her family for 12 nights!! We got updates and pics regularly. Poppy seemed so happy and cared for with them when I came To pick her up she didn’t want to leave right away. Really appreciate all of Noor’s Communication.l Plus all the love her family members have to apply. We’re thrilled to have a found a caring sitter.”
“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.”

I’ve used Rob several times over the past couple of years to watch my two pups, and I couldn’t be happier with his care. He’s always great at communicating and keeps me updated, and my dogs always come home happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands while I’m away. Thanks so much, Rob!
We boarded our two dogs (ages 8 & 13) with Elva. I knew we were in good hands after our Meet & Greet. Elva asked excellent questions and really wanted to understand our dogs' idiosyncrasies. She took great care of them - gave them a lot of affection, attention, and walks. One of our dogs is especially quirky, and Elva handled it well. She communicated well with us while we were away and sent video and photos. I wholeheartedly recommend Elva as a caregiver.
Having Watson stay in Brian's home for 4 days while I visited family gave me such peace of mind. I received daily photos and updates, and could tell Watson was comfortable and relaxed with his new surroundings — and with the resident pup, too! Highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for a safe, loving place to entrust their four-legged family member. Thanks, Brian, for taking such great care of Wats while I was away!
Malika was an incredible sitter while I was away on an international trip. This is my second time booking her and she is the only person I could trust to watch my cat! She was incredibly attentive and even kept tabs on how often my cat was using the litter box. I received a lot videos and pictures during my trip which was very kind. She also was very responsive at all the different times of day despite me being in a different time zone. I am very grateful to her for her amazing service!
Michelle is such a great sitter! She is super nice, calm, and accommodating. Our doggies, Kyla & Otis, took to her right away! Michelle sent us updates throughout our trip which made us feel even more at ease. We will definitely be asking Michelle to dog sit for us again! Thanks so much Michelle!
Cindy was amazing with Pearl, our 7-month-old kitten. She sent daily updates and pictures (always appreciated!), made sure Pearl had her usual food and play routines, and asked great questions ahead of the stay to ensure everything was prepared and Pearl would be comfortable. Cindy was so easy to communicate with and she made me feel reassured that Pearl was being loved and cared for in my absence. When our return flight was delayed, Cindy was super kind and flexible about our pickup time. I will definitely work with Cindy again—she’s a wonderful cat sitter!
Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Junior. He is a senior dog and can suffer from separation anxiety and at time refuse to eat, but your frequent updates and attentive care put my mind totally at ease. Seeing how sweet your children were with Junior made the stay extra special. He absolutely loved the kiddos, playing in the backyard, and going on his daily walks. Junior came home incredibly happy. You will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward! Review Highlights * Anxiety-Free Stay: Handled senior dog worry with gentle, loving attention. And frequent photo and updates * Kid-Friendly Cuddles: Junior loved snuggling and bonding with the children. * Active & Happy: Great backyard playtime and daily walks kept him thriving. * Future Booking: Officially our new permanent, go-to pet sitter.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Harwood Heights on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 5,406 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.
