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.

Cheryl was absolutely wonderful with our sweet girl while we were out of town. She was so well cared for and felt completely at home with Cheryl. She enjoyed nice walks, got lots of love, and we received thoughtful updates and photos that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear Cheryl truly cares, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Bailey is a caring, knowledgeable and experienced pet owner and caretaker. Freddy was well-cared for and I was sent several photos during the day to let me know how he was doing. Bailey was sensitive in incorporating Freddy into her pack of two dogs. I felt very comfortable and confident that Freddy was well cared for. Thank you!

Rob has went above and beyond for my Nova. I had to make a very hard decision to possibly putting her in a shelter, but he said “no” I will keep her until a loving home is found for her. It has happen and it’s going to be bitter sweet, Rob is loving her as she deserves. Thank you Rob for your loving heart and passion.

We left our Sheltie, Molly, with Erica for 7 nights while we were on a cruise, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly kind, caring, and professional. Molly seemed to have a wonderful time with her and her dog, Rocky. We truly appreciated the updates and the love she showed our pup. Plus, her home is conveniently located just 10 minutes from O’Hare, making pickup after travel super easy. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Katherine and her beautiful family! Oliver seemed quite at home there. We typically have angst when leaving Oliver with the big doggie daycare chains, especially for several days. A home environment where there are people who care, interact, play and walk our pup puts us much more at ease.

Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!

5 stars is simply not enough for this special, God-sent woman. Oh my goodness—where do I even begin? Ms. Cheryl came into my life at the exact perfect time. She has such a warm, caring spirit and treated my two dogs as if she had known and loved them forever. The constant love and attention she gave—both in person and through pictures and videos—was truly priceless and gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of genuine, loving care for their pets. And I will most definitely continue to use her services for as long as I possibly can. You truly can’t go wrong with her. Highly, highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hillside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hillside on Rover is $29.89 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,470 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hillside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover 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.

94% of Hillside sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Hillside 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 Hillside 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 Hillside.

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 Hillside 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.
