“What a wonderful family! Daisy was well cared for and loved on. I appreciate all the videos and great communication during Daisy's stay. Daisy enjoyed her time. Looking forward to her next stay.”
“We are so beyond grateful for April! Our dog Frankie got sick right before our honeymoon, and we were so nervous to leave him. But April went above and beyond—nursing him back to health, making sure he was eating, hydrated, and loved every step of the way. She gave us regular updates, eased our minds, and treated Frankie like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a stressful time. Thank you, April, for taking such amazing care of our boy! 🐾💛”
“It’s always a relief to find a safe and responsible dog sitter, especially with a last-minute schedule change. Even better, my lovely Goldendoodle, Rubee, has made a new friend.”
“Harlan was a terrific sitter and took wonderful care of our dog for nearly three weeks. We loved getting regular updates and texts. When we picked our dog up, he seemed happy and well cared for. Thank you, Harlan!”
About: I have experience dog sitting and handling dogs of all ages and sizes! I am compassionate and caring ensuring the best care is provided every time I currently have a very open availability to provide care in the home setting as well as walks and visits. I am passionate for caring for animals and make it a priority to be dependable in my care. I make cleanliness a priority ensuring that the pet is safely and lovingly taken care of while maintaining the cleanliness of the home for the pet owner! Making sure the pet is safe and cared for is always my number one priority at all times including when walking the dogs, inside the home or in the yard etc.
“Dodi was great and kept us informed throughout the visit with photos of how our dog was doing. She facilitated a meeting between our dogs before to make sure there were no issues. I felt safe leaving our loved one with her.”
“Natalie was an absolutely amazing host, our dog had a wonderful time with her two friendly dogs and her dog-loving boyfriend. She has a very spacious house in a convenient location with a dedicated room for dogs. She was really nice to quickly accept taking care of our dog for an extra day due to an emergency as well. Will definitely ask her to dog sit again & to recommend to others.”
“AnnaDee and Julio are exceptional. Their family loves dogs and cats, and I could tell from the first day I met them. They are such a sweet family. My dog is very comfortable with them. They walk my dog and play with her every day. She is being taken care of so well. Thank you so much! I will definitely come back to them.”
“I had an amazing experience with Anna! She took wonderful care of my dog, Bo, and made sure he was well cared for. I didn’t have cell service while we were out town but she made me feel comfortable and that he was in good hands. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Would 100% rebook with Siobhan! Took incredible care of my pug, was super quick to respond and sent me updates so I didn’t worry once. Would give 10 stars if it let me!”
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”
“Our little pup did really well with Elaine & Martin. We were worried because our dog is kind of peculiar, but they were great with her! They sent photos so we could see how comfortable she was, and this allowed us to enjoy our trip and not worry. We have already booked another stay with them! They are great!”
“Chris is officially Fiji-approved—and that’s saying a lot, because this Frenchie has standards higher than his ears when he hears the word “treat.” Leaving Fiji for the first time with someone new after years of “Doggy Disney” care by the last amazing family who watched him, had us nervous. Especially with his sensitive back, we were worried Fiji would be hard to handle. Enter Chris: Frenchie friend and all-around rockstar. Not only did he send us updates and photos galore, but he actually asked questions to make sure he was doing everything just right. Honestly, we’re starting to suspect that our next booking with Chris, Fiji will have a better vacation than we will. If this is his new Doggy Disneyland, we’re just glad there isn’t a gift shop because Fiji would totally take advantage. Thank you, Chris, for making this transition smooth, fun, and truly easing our minds. You’ve set the bar sky-high—and Fiji can’t wait for his next stay.”
“Erika was fantastic! She was willing to take on a mischievous puppy when no one else wanted her. She took her on outings and had faith in her. I believe Marley came home better behaved. I will definitely use Erika again. Plus she was super responsive whenever we contacted her.”
“Mary was great with my dog. He doesn’t like everyone, who does? Lol But he did great with Mary and their dog. I couldn’t have asked for more, really. He’s very active and they let him run 2x a day plus he got to cool off in their pool. If you’re concerned about leaving your dog, choose Mary, it will make you feel good every time you go away:)”
“Our dog Lincoln stayed with Silvana for the first time recently. He came home happy and well taken care of. Silvana responded quickly when I inquired about how Lincoln was doing and sent pictures as well. We will use her services again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
Lovely family! Bailey stayed with them for 2 nights and Lily for 1 night while we headed out for dinners and had a blast. They were very responsive, warm, joyful, and flexible when we needed to shift dates and times. The dogs settled in without any problem, we got lovely pictures and updates, and Bailey even went out for walks 😊 We truly appreciated it and can’t wait for our next vacation next year.
Our experience with Zenia was great from start to finish. She is responsive and a good communicator. My 6-year-old puppy has always stayed at my daughter's when I go out of town and I needed a sitter who could make him feel at home. I could see from the photos, (which Zenia sends daily,) that he relaxed right away and enjoyed snuggling, walking, and being with her dog Misty. Highly recommend!

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 July 2026, there are 7,313 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oak Park. 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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 Park.
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 Park 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 CA 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.
