“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”

Your pets will be in the best hands.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you Candace & Steve. They are the best dog sitters! As soon as we dropped off Rocco, he couldn't stop wagging his tail. The day after we picked him up, he looks a little sad... like his missing Pumpkin. Beside missing Rocco in our travels, we are never worried about the care Candace & Steve provide. We so appreciate the pictures and the daily update on how Rocco is doing. If you are looking for a great dog sitter, look no further. Thanks Candace & Steve!”

Mercedes took such wonderful care of our senior dog. She took time to get to know his personality and needs, and it’s clear he felt so comfortable in her home and with her family. He enjoyed going on many walks and taking home some homemade treats. Thank you so much for everything, he can’t wait to come back!
Ann was an outstanding caretaker for our family dog. She communicated as needed and our kids loved seeing the photos that she shared with us. He was in great spirits when we picked him up and we could tell he was well cared for while we were on vacation. Highly recommend Ann and we would book again in the future.
Leo and Ruby were well taken care of with play time, walks and back yard time while in Julian’s care. Julian provided consistent feedback and pictures throughout the day for each of the dogs for their 4 day stay. I am looking forward to utilizing Julian’s services in the future and recommend him to care for your fur babies.
Karina went above and beyond to make our dog Tlali feel right at home and us more than comfortable with leaving her with someone else for the first time since we've adopted her. We're always stressed about vetting people for things like this and Karina made it a no-brainer to choose her. We're now much less stressed about needing to find Tlali care and looking forward to Karina helping us in the future!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! This was my first time trusting someone new, and they completely exceeded my expectations. They were kind, patient, attentive, and made sure my fur baby felt comfortable and loved while I was away. They kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s not easy leaving your pet with someone for the first time, but they made the entire experience stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much—I will definitely be booking with you again!
We had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter, Jim! He boarded our 5 month old American Eskimo puppy, Millie, over the busy Fourth of July weekend and we couldn't have been happier with the care he provided. This was our puppy's first time away from home and he made it such a positive experience! Thank you!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matt & Leslie are absolutely amazing! My 15-year-old Australian Shepherd, Bear, requires special attention with his medication, mobility, and feeding, and they cared for him with such compassion and dedication. They even built a ramp to make Bear more comfortable during his stay — that level of thoughtfulness meant the world to me. They also sent me daily photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for Bear was. It is such a blessing to find people who treat your dog like family. I feel SO BLESSED to have found Matt & Leslie, and I recommend them wholeheartedly. Five stars all the way!
Olivia kept my baby Leah for the weekend while I went out of town, and I was honestly nervous because anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my baby. But Olivia was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and updates the whole time, which really helped me relax. She even gave Leah extra treats and sent her home with some too. I ended up needing to extend my trip unexpectedly, and Olivia was super understanding and flexible about it. That meant a lot to me. Leah was clearly well taken care of and loved while she was there. Olivia will forever be my baby’s home whenever I’m away. I’m so grateful I found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oak Lawn on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,148 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oak Lawn. 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 Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn 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 Oak Lawn.
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 Oak Lawn 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.
