“Shani was the best choice for our fur baby! I was worried about leaving our baby, Stone, for so long, but Shani made me feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and communicated with me continuously throughout the stay. I could see Stone opening up and enjoying himself. I’m so grateful for her loving care and warmth. Shani is definitely like extended family now, and Stone won’t be staying anywhere else. If you care about your fur baby and want them to be well-loved, book with Shani.”
“Beth was amazing!! Our dog seemed to love being with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very comforting. She played with him a ton and treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book with Beth again.”
“Shout out to Danny and his lovely girlfriend! Our meet and greet went great. Danny was very accommodating on letting us drop Roxi off early which was nice. Danny was great on updating us with pictures and letting us know how Roxi's day was, he also let us know how attached she was to him and how crazy yet loving our big baby was during her stay as well as trying to eat his dinner! Haha all in all Roxi had a great vacation with Danny and came home happy, but most of all Danny enjoyed Roxi staying with him and his girlfriend. We will definitely be booking Danny in any future trips! Thanks you two again!”
“Jennifer did an awesome job with our dog,Lola! She was very flexible to help us out, due to an unexpected need! Jennifer always kept us in the loop with how our dog was doing— whether it was a message in the inbox or pictures! She was very professional and I would highly recommend her services!”
“Manuel is the best. He’s looked after my little corgi Kit twice now and has done an excellent job. I can’t recommend him enough! Your pup will always be in good hands with Manuel. Thanks so much!!”
“Tanisha is absolutely the best… She is a true dog lover! She took care my Rocky as if it was her dog. She sent pictures everyday. If I could I would have given her 10 stars. I found my dog a care giver. I am definitely rebooking”
“Jesus and family was amazing. He took pic and videos of my puppy playing with his kids. I booked Jesus again for the following week I would recommend Jesus to anyone my puppy was well taken care of I appreciated that very much”
“Donelle was great, unfortunately Monroe will not be able to stay with her again, she said he marked often, this is expected from male dogs specifically when other dogs are present”
“If I could give Matthew and Leslie 20 stars I would. They were professional from the meet and greet until it was time to drop my dog off. Their yard was so clean and well maintained. And there dog got alone so good with my dog. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Kori obviously had a great time at Jim’s. Jim is very organized and attended to my senior dog’s needs well in the quiet and relaxed environment she needs. I would feel comfortable having Kori stay with Jim again.”
“Barbara was an amazing sitter! She watched our two dogs for 6 days and kept us updated daily with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We were also completely comfortable with her watching other dogs, it gave ours a chance to socialize and play. She even accommodated giving one of our dogs his daily medication, which we really appreciated. Our dogs came home super happy, I honestly think they miss it lol. She was attentive, professional, and very caring. We also appreciated the meet and greet and thoughtful small gift. I highly recommend Barbara and would definitely book with her again!”
“As always my dog came back happy and healthy. I was sent pictures and updates daily, text messages responses were immediate and detailed. I could not have found a better person to leave my dog with and I will continue to use Tonisa in the future!”
“Amber did such a wonderful job caring for my senior dog! She was incredibly attentive to all of the instructions I provided, including her medication schedule, feeding routine, and outdoor needs. She also sent thoughtful daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my pup was in great hands, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention she provided. I would happily book with her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Forest
Danny was great with my dog, Gabe, and was extremely easy to communicate with! He was very accommodating and was understanding of the intricacies that come with boarding a large dog. He made sure to take many pictures and texted me to help alleviate my own anxiety about being away from my dog. When we met Danny for a meet and greet, my dog instantly was comfortable. I have never seen him like that at a commercial boarder. I am very grateful for Danny!
Jennifer was so great. She kept me up-to-date with my fur baby and sent pictures every step of the way. I was really nervous because this was the first time I had left him in a long time but rest assured he was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I definitely will rebook with her.
Sarah did an amazing job taking care of Murphy overnight! She clearly treated him like her own and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I really appreciated all the pictures and updates—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Murphy had such a great time, and I could tell he was in great hands. I would absolutely trust her to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

There are 5,015 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oak Forest. About 91% of Oak Forest 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
