“Our Elly has just wrapped up her 5th stay with Wendy and Bill! We couldn't be happier with the care, love and attention she is given while in their care. We are able to go away and feel confident that Elly is being lovingly cared for and showered with lots of attention. We never worry about her safety. Wendy and Bill are conscientious about keeping all their guests safe. Elly comes home happy after her visit. She loves running in the fenced yard, playing with Sadie and the cats 😀, walks when weather permits and being a couch potato-just like she is at home!! Wendy and Bill always follow our directions perfectly. We also really appreciate the daily updates and pictures. We look forward to them as we are enjoying our vacation. It also puts us at ease to see Elly having fun! We highly recommend Wendy and Bill and have referred them to friends who were in need of a dog sitter. We are looking forward to our summer trip knowing Elly will be in good hands with Wendy and Bill!!”
“As usual, my dog was taken care of well and allowed me to have confidence that he was okay while I was away. D'artagnan has such great skills with dealing with and handling canines, I'll continue to be a repeat customer because of the great service that he provides. 5 stars, will recommend!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“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!”
“We highly recommend Cindy! Her family watched our dog in their home and we would love to rebook for future needs. Their family dog, Coco is so friendly, as is their family. Their house and yard is also well setup to be Dog friendly. We appreciated Cindy’s responsiveness, communication and got lots of pictures of all the love our pup got! I confidently knew our dog was well taken care of while we were out of town. Honestly one of the best rovers we have used for an in home stay!”
“Mario did a great job caring for Benji while I was out of town. He sent wonderful photos and videos of Benji playing with his dogs. I will definitely be using him again to take care of my dog and would recommend him to everyone.”
“Careful and caring family home where our Rosie spent Christmas and New Years while we traveled overseas. Vladimir and Laura met with us in advance and provided updates periodically and responded within minutes anytime we reached out while traveling with pictures and comments. Our dog came home rested, NOT stressed, from being at a home away from home. Thank you guys!”
“Leigh and Richard were great! It was our first time using Rover, and Leigh and Richard exceeded all expectations. They provided updates regularly and it was very evident that our dog, Lucy, was very well cared for and loved. We can’t wait to use them again!”
“I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks and even took him to the park to play and explore. She even insisted to home our dog for another night for free so we can have good rest coming from our vacation. She genuinely cares and we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Oh my goodness, our dog Blue had a fantastic time staying with Deborah and we were completely relaxed about it the entire time! Deborah is kind, patient and really cares for the dogs she watches. Our dog is only 1 and has a LOT of energy, we were thrilled there was another dog for Blue to play with during her stay. Deborah also is a fantastic photographer, she can take some truly professional level action shots of the dogs. Thank you Deborah for taking us on, I was relaxed with you the moment I met you! Blue is happy and so are we!!”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“Sarah was SO GREAT with our two little dogs!!! She sent pictures and videos every day while we were away, and little notes about how they were doing- the good and the bad, when one of our dogs decided that her plant was a perfect place to sit. :) THANK YOU SARAH and we look forward to trusting you with our little ones again when we need you!!!”
“Michelle’s home is a second home retreat for our three year old lab mix. Miles adores going to Michelle’s and it’s a great reflection of the kind care and warmth that she shows to the pets she cares for. We never hesitate to book Michelle! She has many processes in place to ensure direct communication and a safe and loving environment for the pets that she cares for. I interviewed many Rover sitters for our dog and Michelle was above and beyond the only one I felt comfortable with and she has exceeded our expectations every time. Thank you, Michelle!”

We had a wonderful experience with Vicki. She is very warm, kind and dependable and took excellent care of Sammi. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that Sammi was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! D’Artagnan and his wife cared for our two dogs as if they were their own, giving them so much love, attention, and reassurance. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly felt completely at ease in their care—which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. He also shared thoughtful advice and insight that helped us better understand our dogs, and his knowledge of dog behavior is truly impressive. We’re incredibly grateful to have found them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family members!
Bob was incredibly calm, honest, and caring with our 2 energetic dogs. He was supportive with it being our first time keeping our dogs away, and sent videos and pics to show us how happy are two pups were while we were out of town for 5 days. He has plenty of experience and we surely felt 100% comfortable leaving our dogs with him. Will certainly book again! Thank you, Bob!
We rebooked with Tatiana based on a great past experience. I knew the dogs were in the best hands and getting more walks then they do at home. All the pictures sent to us while we were away was like we were right there with her. Thanks for providing all the love and attention to our pups!
Thank you so much Beth and family! We really appreciate you and your family caring for our little love Copper. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. We received regular photo updates and sweet messages during our trip. Copper looked so happy! It was comforting knowing she had a wonderful experience being a part of their loving family! We will definitely book with Beth again! - Mariellyn and Michael
Dar took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away! They seemed very happy and comfortable during their stay and were clearly well cared for. Dar made sure they got plenty of walks and lots of time outside, which they absolutely love. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Dar to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter, and I would happily have my dogs stay with Dar again!
Melissa was a wonderful host for my pet, Nysa. She took great care of her for the entire week and kept us updated regularly with pictures, which we really appreciated. It looks like Nysa had so much fun with her kids and her dogs! Melissa was also very helpful when Nysa ran out of food and made sure she had what she needed. Overall, Melissa did a great job caring for Nysa, and we would definitely love to have her stay with Melissa again the next time we travel. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
Cindy and her family took such good care of Aslan this past week! They so graciously accepted Aslan even when they had just gotten a brand new puppy, so Aslan got to play big brother for a whole week! Cindy sent me so many pictures and videos everyday! I picked up a very happy and tired pup at the end of our trip! Great family to trust with your dog!!
Joanna and her family were absolutely amazing with our boy. We could see their passion for dogs and caring for them, right away. We were away for a week and while we missed Sarge very much, we were at great ease with the care he recieved. Sarge got along great with their two absolutely adorable dogs. We were very impressed with the pictures and daily updates. We will 100% rebook with Joanna. Highly recommend! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Mount Prospect is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $65 per night. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 5,279 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mount Prospect. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Mount Prospect can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Mount Prospect home-away-from-home, 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 Mount Prospect.
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 Mount Prospect 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 , 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 .
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.
