“OUTSTANDING! Tootie had a wonderful time! Kathy sent pictures with funny comments. That should me Tootie was having a great time. That's important to me. Kathy was very thorough with the detailed care instructions. She asked questions for clarity. If you are in the Chicago area, please choose Kathy.”
“Bola was a great sitter for my dog Pep. She was flexible, considerate, and communicative with dropoff and pickup, even working with me so my friend could handle pickup logistics. I also appreciate Bola being available over a holiday and sending cute pics of Pep while I was traveling. Thank you!”
“I believe this is my 4th time booking with Tabitha, and will continue to book with her. Chapo stayed with her while I was out of town, and she was great. Communication and pictures were always on point. Very fleixable as well. Would highly recommend”
“Kamiah and Casius took great care of our dog, Ziggy, over the holidays. They were easy to communicate with and sent a daily video to let us know Ziggy was doing ok. Drop-off was quick and easy, and Kamiah kindly brought Ziggy back to us at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend!”
“My dog loves Ethel. She stayed in Ethel’s care for a week and came home like she’s not been away. It’s incredible. Ethel sends pictures of her walks and took her to the dog park. So happy with her services.”

“Amazing! My doggy’s were so happy. One of my dogs had a cone and he was extra cared for it was really appreciated! The dogs came home with a goodie bag and everything. Will definitely book again!”
“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“Sandy was exactly what I was looking for and I'm so glad we found her. She communicated regularly about how Bubbles was doing, and I felt she really listened to everything I said. Before we came to do a meet and greet, Sandy had obviously read the profile I had made for Bubbles, as she asked questions about it. She and her husband seem very adaptable to different types and personalities of dogs. Will book again.”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”

Mercedes is my regular care giver for my 11 yr old Cockapoo & I booked an additional weekend for a retreat with my Mom. I heard my Mom (talking with some old friends) giving Mercedes & her family a beautiful shout out … “Sax (my dog) is with his other family”. 🥰❣️I thought that was such an awesome acknowledgement because everyone knows I will take Sax anywhere, but now he has a great family to hangout with.
Honestly, dropping my dog off and seeing Ann has become a favorite part of vacation planning. I feel so at ease going away and knowing Enzo is taken care of and loved while also getting to spend time with Teddy and Chewy! I could write a novel about how thankful I am for Ann and her family. 10000 thank you’s just doesn’t express it enough! ❤️🐾
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!

The average cost for Pet 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.

There are 5,298 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oak Lawn. About 91% of Oak Lawn 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
