“Melanie is amazing! She went above and beyond to look after our fur baby. Very responsive, flexible, great communication, sends updates and pictures at least twice a day. Would 100% recommend her and definitely boarding our dog again when needed.”
“I can't recommend Sheila highly enough. She's kind, patient, and cares about dogs! The fenced-in yard is any dog's dream. While my dog was timid and afraid at first, when I picked her up four days later, she was playful, happy, and had bonded with Sheila and her dogs.”
“Julianne is fantastic! Responsive, attentive, and caring, she made Taco feel right at home with plenty of space to run around both inside and outside. We highly recommend Julianne for all of your fur baby’s needs!”
“Amber was great with Luna, I noticed because Luna wasn't nervouse, normally she does. When we got back home she acted a little bit strange but I think is normal. Amber answered at all times when I texted her.”
“Karan was amazing. He watched our Garfield sized Cat and was truly wonderful. Smart, responsible, kind and loving to our fat feline. I can’t recommend Karan enough. He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Luna received! Chris and Erika were attentive, loving, and kept me updated with photos. Luna came home happy and healthy! Highly recommend!”
“As usual - our dogs were loved on like they were at home! Rae and Dave are great at communicating and making sure the dogs are safe and cared for to put our minds at ease. We can't thank them enough.”
“Rylee was absolutely amazing with Grizzly and he seemed to be immediately at ease with her. As a truck driver who spends almost every moment with his dog at his side it was so nice to see him instantly become comfortable with Rylee. I will be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“She was great, friendly and very understanding seeing that it was our first time away from trigger. She made us feel very comfortable. Will recommend to use her service to anyone, I sure will be back. Thanks”
“Lyn always does such a great job caring for my baby Prince. She communicates well, captures the best pics/videos and is easy to get a hold of. Milley is the sweetest, Princes BFF. Thank you !!”
“We don't leave our 15 year old Sadie very often. As soon as I met Justin, their kiddos, and their dog, I knew she was in the best hands. Thanks to them for making her so comfortable and welcome. I would not hesitate to book with them again. ❤️”
“Lainey agreed to board my Golden and Aussie last minute and she did a phenomenal job! My Aussie does not like new people and struggles with severe anxiety and fear aggression. I was honest about his behaviors upfront and not once did she seem scared, which is so uncommon, even at dog boarding facilities. Because of her passion for animals, managing behaviors, and training, he had a successful stay and I could enjoy time away without worrying constantly. I can't begin to explain how freeing and relieving that was! I will be using Lainey in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Lainey!! You are such a blessing!”
“Kind, receptive, attentive. Keandra is just incredible, she has a wonderful home that feels so amazing. The Vibes are perfect. I really do feel safe letting my dog (my baby boy) stay here.”
“I can't say enough good things about Stevie! From the moment I met her and her daughter, I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Throughout the week, she was incredibly diligent, providing regular updates and even photos/videos which put my mind at ease. It was clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. On top of her excellent care, she was also very flexible when both of our schedules shifted. I highly recommend Stevie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible pet sitter!”
“We left our fur babies for a week with Caitlin while we went on vacation and as always she’s wonderful!!! Both our babies were taken care of, snuggled and we were sent updates and pictures often! We will forever trust Caitlin and will return whenever we need care in the future!”
“Amy was amazing for our puppies!! She was easy to communicate with and even sent me pictures to update me on how they were doing!! My puppies enjoyed their weekend away!!! Would definitely recommend her!!!!”
About: I am a teacher and have summers off! Let me and my sweet daughter help take care of your pet this summer. We are too busy during the school year to justify having our own pet, so let us spoil yours! I have lots of availability this summer- let's work something out! Just reach out and we can get something on the calendar- whether you need over night care or your furry friend needs a walk. We have a partially fenced in yard. We live close to the trial, so we will go on many walks. We have a leash outside as well as room to crate inside.
“Hannah is amazing! She’s very flexible and accommodating, and always keeps me updated on Nikko with pictures. She’s trustworthy and caring. My epileptic dog had a seizure while staying with her, but she handled it calmly—administering his intranasal midazolam and giving his scheduled medications on time. I would definitely book with Hannah again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Heyworth on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 91 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Heyworth. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Heyworth 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 Heyworth.
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 Heyworth 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.
