“Jo’Ell was so wonderful. She was caring, attentive and took really great care of Maya! I highly recommend her services. She really takes great care of the pups!”
“Ruben was amazing taking care of Alfredo and Frida, he was always updating about the day of my dogs. Is good to know that we have someone to stay with them so responsible.”
“Jose is a phenomenal dog sitter! He always updates us and sends us photos and treats our dog like she is his own. When our flight was unexpectedly changed the day before, he was flexible and took our dog several hours earlier than originally planned. He’s our top choice whenever we have to leave town!”
“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“OMG!!! Connie was the best -mom away from home- I could ask for!!! Juiji and Jojo were so cute. Connie made sure Juiji was comfortable and that I was sure she was safe, behaving, and co-mingling. Her photos of Juiji should be in a doggy magazine! I could not have asked for a better -mom away from home- and she's the best and she's around the corner from me. So grateful for her!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND CONNIE?♥️??”
“Valentina was the absolute best. I had an emergency where my phone was stolen from me while I was out of town. I had to stay in that city for a few extra days and wasn’t able to communicate or contact her or Rover at all. She saved my life and my puppy’s life =) Such a trustworthy person and amazing dog caregiver. Can’t recommend her enough. 6 stars if possible!”
“I'm always anxious about leaving my little shadow dog, Jezebel ? in anyone else's care while I'm far away on vacation. But Cary B. and her awesome family took good care of her for me. I'm already making plans for next year's vacation,and will definitely be booking again with Cary B.”
“Our pup had a great time during her stay with Camille. She was very welcoming, took Gigi on nice walks through the neighborhood, and kept us updated with daily photos.”
“We had another great experience with Angel. Ferris got along really well with his dogs so it was nice knowing he had buddies. Angel gave at least daily updates with photos and videos, took Ferris out for regular exercise, and was very flexible with timing and logistics.”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“100% positive experience. Wayne provided morning updates, photos, and had a nice home for my dog to get lots of playtime. It was very easy to book and communicate with Wayne. I highly recommend having him watch your dog as I would gladly book with him again.”
“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”
“Iwona is amazing! She has a great space for dogs and gave our boy Tucker a ton of attention and exercise . He came back to us looking so much happier than he usually does when we have to leave him! We will definitely be using Iwona again for future stays.”
“It’s never easy leaving your dog in someone else’s care, but Eileen made us feel like our pup was in good hands. She sent cute, daily updates and photos, and was communicative and reliable. I think our dog enjoyed his stay, and we would feel very comfortable leaving him with Eileen again. Thank you Eileen!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Justine and Brett were great! It looks like my doggo had a good time, and I felt very secure leaving him with Justine and Brett. I got photos every day, and it looked like he was having a blast. My flight home got delayed, and J&B were gracious and flexible. I’ll for sure use them again for dog care.”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would 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.”

Janeth took such great care of my senior dog while we were away for a few days. I appreciated that she sent me updates and I was able to relax knowing my dog was comfortable and in a calm environment. I would absolutely recommend Janeth and would definitely board with Janeth again!
Robert and his family took excellent care of Spruce while we were away on an extended trip for nearly two weeks. Our pup is a one year old with a lot of energy for playing and had such a blast playing endless fetch in their fenced yard and with the dogs who would come by for in-home daycare. We got absolutely regular updates (with absolutely incredible action shots!) while we were traveling and it was clear to see Spruce was having a wonderful time and was being well cared for, and that knowledge and peace of mind is such a gift especially when we were thousands of miles away. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hillside on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,317 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.
93% 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.
