“Michelle did a great job with Bailey. She is very reliable and has a good system in place for caring for dogs. I like that she doesn’t take in a lot of dogs at once. I received updates with lots of pictures of Bailey. We are grateful that Bailey could play with other dogs and be in a safe home while we were out of town for the weekend. We would definitely use Michelle again!”
“Kyle is the best! We just moved to the area and couldn't be happier to have found him. He took amazing care of our dog and sent us pics every day while we were away. Super easy going, quick communication, great with your furry friend! Will definitely be booking with him during our next trip away =)”
“Elaina and Joseph V. were absolutely amazing with my dog during his stay from July 1 through July 5. They kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they genuinely cared for him and treated him like part of their own family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail throughout the entire boarding experience. I would absolutely trust them to watch my dog again and highly recommend Elaina and Joseph V. to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitters.”
“Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her whole family treated my dog like one of their own, giving her so much love, care, and attention every single day. I truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for while I was away. I would trust Luciana with my dog again without hesitation. I highly, highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. She is simply the best!”
“Angela and her whole family treated Daisy like she was a member of the family. She sent us pictures every day, they walked her, they brushed her, they took wonderful care of her! I would completely leave her with them again. ”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“Jayne was amazing - definitely the best caretaker I have worked with thus far. Gumbo absolutely loved her and it showed through in all the pictures she sent me (major plus as it makes me feel more secure with being away). Jayne really went above and beyond - taking notes when I was going over his daily routine and even helping me carry back all his supplies at the end of the day. We will definitely be using her going forward and would highly recommend her to other users in the midtown east area. Thanks for everything Jayne!!”
“Monica took the best care of my dog and provided several video updates each day. Her communication is prompt and she followed all the instructions I gave her. Highly recommend!”
“Jill took such good care of our sweet, energetic 3yo bernedoodle. It was such a relief to be away and know that he was being well cared for. The daily updates and pictures were so appreciated.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience!! Our senior dog had many meds and special needs, all of which were appropriately addressed. She took such great care of our dog, complete with pictures and updates of how she was doing.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased, and we feel relieved and grateful to have found Stella and her family. We love receiving her photos and updates, and the pickup and drop off process is seamless.”
“JoAnne was fantastic! One of my dogs had to see the vet while we were gone. JoAnne took her and administered medication without a second thought! My dogs had a fantastic time and we will definitely use her again!!”
“Cannot express our thanks enough to both Liz and Kris for watching our little girl. They provided amazing updates, photos (many of which were hilariously edited and amazing), videos, and even a report card detailing her stay when we picked her up. So thankful to have found them and we will most certainly be booking again!”
“Toby seemed like he had such wonderful time! Thank you so much Mary! She sent pics and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Mary was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pup while we were away. We are so grateful!!”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life, so I have a big experience with animals. I currently have my own sweet cat. I will take care of your puppies with love! I work from home and set my own schedule. Weekdays, weekends and holidays are ok for me. If you need to go to vacation, I can stay with you dog or cat. I live in big house and have a huge backyard and beautiful quiet neighbourhood for walks, so the pups get at least 3 walks per day.
“Absolutely fantastic… really wonderful experience with June and Wade. They sent photos every day.. my little guy was very, very happy and relaxed with them in their home.”
About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hawthorn Woods
We had to leave our dog for just over 2 weeks, which was so hard! But Katerina is so good to Jack and sends us photos every day, which really helps us feel better when we’re away! We’re so lucky that she was available to watch him - we hate leaving him anywhere else.
Michelle was wonderful and took such good care of my pup! I could tell right away she has a lot of experience with dogs and felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She communicated well checking in with updates and pictures. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.
James and Caitlyn took care of my Murdoch. I swear Murdoch was sad the next day he wasn’t at their home playing with Crew. They were so wonderful to my boy and to me. My flight got cancelled and they were so accommodating and just really good communicators. I will definitely be having them look over Murdoch again. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Hawthorn Woods on Rover is $49.05 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,153 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Hawthorn Woods. About 91% of Hawthorn Woods 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.
