“Fantastic person, fanstastic services. This was my first time leaving my pup with someone, Beverly made it a very smooth, calming process by responding quickly and providing updates with pictures. Her house is nice and spacious with a huge yard for active pups. I will be using her in the future for sure.”
“Guillermina took very good care of my chicle! She sent me photos and videos! I felt very comfortable having her take care of him! Definitely recommendable. 10/10”
“Amazing as always! This was the longest stretch I left Vaughn and it was such a wonderful feeling not stressing about him and his happiness. Every update I got was better than the last because he was having SO much fun. He is so loved when he’s there and I can’t thank her enough!”
“She was amazing! I was nervous to leave Ana because I have never left her for longer than a day but Bola did great! She sent me photos everyday and always responded when I texted. Definitely using her again!”
“I am so happy with the service Ginebra provided for Bentley! She loved on him just as much as me and my daughter! I could tell Bentley loved spending time with her too! Ginebra, you have a new Fur Baby to add! Thank you so much for the picture of my baby, I love it 💖💖💖”
“So grateful for Tamara and her pups! It’s a fun vacation for Wiggles every time she stays with them. Wiggles, unfortunately, wore a cone and itchy paws when we dropped her off and Tamara was so helpful making sure she had her medicine 2x a day and topical on Wiggles. When we returned, Wiggles was feeling so much better! 💖”
“Cary is amazing. I was updated daily with pictures and my dogs look so happy ! I was a nervous wreck leaving them because this is the first time I’ve boarded them. But that fear is gone and I will definitely be booking again during my next getaway.”
“Kamiah and Casius were great sitters for Bailey. For me, it was a very last minute booking and Kamiah was incredibly accommodating to make it work. She was also very quick to contact us on the first day when Bailey wasn't eating (but everything was fine, as this is how Bailey always is at a new place), and Bailey looked very happy in the photos and videos we got each day. Also, Kamiah's pick-up and drop-off were prompt and efficient. I definitely plan to use them again!”
“Kathy and her family were wonderful! She asked thoughtful questions on how to care for my dog. Kathy kept me updated on how Honey was doing during her stay with texts and pictures. She treated my furbaby like family. Highly recommended!”
“Our Armin enjoyed his almost 2 week stay with Ethel! Ethel kept constant communication with us and was super flexible about the drop off and pick up times. He has separation anxiety but you could tell he really built a healthy bond with her. I appreciate that she was also able to socialize him with her own family’s dogs. I’m so happy to have found someone I trust to care for my baby boy when we are out of town.”
“I contacted Micheal on Wednesday evening after having lost power for 12 hours. They were very responsive and booked my two cats right away for the weekend. They send me photos every day and kept me up to date on how the cats were doing. Highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“Our pup was so well-loved by Patricia and her family. From the second she met our dog I knew she was in good hands and the regular updates and pictures she sent reassured us of that. Could not recommend her services more highly!”
“Lisa was so good with Oscar. We got him back so happy and healthy. She treated oscar like he was her own dog. I'd recommend Lisa for all dog owners and I'd definitely send Oscar there when we travel next time.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was a small child. I have two kids of my own ages 10 and 13, who are also animal lovers! We are a busy family that can’t commit to having a pet full time at this moment but would love to have cats and dogs in the home when we can! I currently work part time, so I have 2 full days off during the week and weekends to help out with dog walking and pet sitting/boarding. I can come to you or you can choose to bring your pets to me if that works out. I can also drop in after work days at night if needed after 430pm. I can offer dog walking and companionship as well as car rides if your pup likes those! Really just depends on what you and your pet need and I can make it happen. I have a safe home with a nice Fenced in yard and we live across the street from a large park where they can play!
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Oak Lawn is $50

Mercedes was fantastic! Our dog was so happy and relaxed when we got home. We loved getting daily photo updates where her entire family was included showing love and care for GraZeson. GraZeson and I are definitely looking to booking Mercedes and her wonderful family again!"
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!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
