“I simply do not know what I would do without RhondaRose. The kindest, most professional, flexible, helpful sitter anyone could ever wish for. I am so grateful knowing that Clover is getting such loving care. Thank you!”
“Our 2nd time leaving our precious Sprinkles with Kent and we would definitely book again! We really appreciated the updates and pictures Kent sent throughout her stay.”
“Sviltana took great care of our dog, and was able to board him for a few days on short notice. She sent lots of videos and photos. We'll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Sandra and Sorin are amazing dog sitters. My senior dog had a gastrointestinal issue during his stay. They tried multiple food products to encourage him to eat. Ultimately, Sandra cooked chicken and rice, my dog’s preferred meal when he is sick. Sandra and Sorin also pampered my dog when they suspected pain in his right hind leg. They are incredibly diligent and loving sitters. I am grateful for the extraordinary care they provided to my little boy.”
“Olga was absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Mintie! ❤️ I was away in abroad for 17 days, and Olga sent me photos, videos, and updates about Mintie every single day. Knowing that Mintie was in such loving hands and being able to see how she was doing gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Even when Mintie had a few potty accidents in the house, Olga was incredibly patient, understanding, and kind. I truly appreciated how well she cared for Mintie throughout her stay. Olga was also incredibly kind and understanding when my pickup plans didn’t go as expected. Her patience and flexibility meant so much to me, and I’m truly grateful for her kindness. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, but Olga truly went above and beyond. She is caring, reliable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful. I would absolutely trust her with Mintie again and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter. Thank you so much, Olga, for taking such wonderful care of Mintie when I was away! I am so lucky to have found you! 🥹❤️”
“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”
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!
“Anish, Carol and their sweet children took such great care of our puppy for the weekend. They treated him like family and sent updates and just an all around wonderful family! Would def recommend! We hope to see you all again! Our puppy was definitely on a staycation with Anish and family! :)”
“I am so happy to have found Stephanie! She is so lovely, reliable, and great with Clover. This last trip was 7 nights and the day I dropped off Clover she was having tummy issues. Stephanie easily adapted to a last minute care routine and within a day or two, Clover was back to herself. I was stressed and feeling so bad about leaving, but Stephanie kept me updated all throughout the day and was attentive and loving with Clover. Very grateful!”
“Bridget did a wonderful job with our pup, providing consistent, loving care for our senior dog! The daily updates with videos and pictures were very much appreciated, making us feel connected to our dog while we were apart. Bridget is excellent - highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a hands-on dog owner for the past 5 years and currently have a Labrador Retriever, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need to thrive. Through raising my own dog, I’ve gained experience with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing changes in behavior or mood. In addition, I’ve pet sat a puppy for two weeks, providing consistent care, supervision, and plenty of patience during an important developmental stage. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines to make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care is a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and rest periods to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. Since I already care for my own dog, adding another pet into my routine is seamless, and I make sure each pet receives individualized attention and care. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a safe, calm, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and at home. I provide plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection, and I make sure pets are introduced slowly and safely if needed. Clean water, a tidy space, and regular updates to owners are always a priority.
“You can tell Abaigaels home is filled with love and I had no doubt my dog (aka my baby who I’m very nervous to leave somewhere) was well taken care of. I received lots of updates and saw all the snuggles and pampering my dog received. I wasn’t sure if he was going to want to come home. 5 Stars will definitely be a return customer!!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Deidre gave our two dogs while we were away for the week. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She treated them like her own, making sure they felt completely at home in her space. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in such good hands. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Deidre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Our puppy loved her time with Cheri! Our meet & greet, about a week before our vacation, went very well. Neoma slept for about 2 days when she got back, out of pure exhaustion (play with other pups and the like), but was so happy and content. Really appreciate Cheri's care for our little girl.”
“I’m so grateful I found Julia! She is so reliable, kept me updated, sent lots of photos and really gave me peace of mind when watching my fur baby! I’m absolutely booking her again for anytime. I need a puppysitter!”
“Debbie was great with our dog! She sent us pictures every day, and it was clear that he was happy and well taken care of. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely book her again!”
“They have a lovely home, and friendly doggie companion that made Chico feel right at home. It felt like they were old friends taking Chico to doggie sit for a few days. They are very quick to response and responsive to questions and updates. I was able to go on a work trip, relaxed because I knew Chico was in a caring home with great people caring for him. Thanks Joerg & Lake, and Elizabeth.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
Soojin was so great from start to finish! Her adorable kiddos were just perfect with our extra-shy cockapoo, Huckleberry. She took the extra time to send us pictures and videos, and it was so clear that she cared for our little guy. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Soojin (even her cat became besties with Huckleberry) and will definitely be back!
My dogs were so well taken care of by Gvido and family! They have a fantastic, fully fenced yard that my dogs loved to explore. They also took my dogs on daily walks in the nearby forest preserve. It made me so happy that my dogs were so happy while we were out of town!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 5,139 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Highland Park. About 90% of Highland Park 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
