“Sassy had such an amazing time with Michael and Joanna. They really made her feel at home. They have the perfect setup to take care of your pets with all of the essentials and more! Sassy was able to make new friends and receive all the love and attention she desires. They made sure to keep me up to date by sending daily pics and videos. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your dog, be sure to book with them. They are true pet professionals that provide the support and care needed for your animals. And they even made a cute collar and bandana for Sassy that she loves! I will definitely bring Sassy back whenever I need a sitter.”
“Maria and her family were wonderful. They sent me constant updates and pictures of my dog playing with theirs. He came back happy, healthy, and energetic. If I need a sitter again, they will be at the top of the list of people I call.”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”
“Angelica is amazing leaving our 2 fur babies is never easy, but our 8 year old Morkie had never been anywhere else besides grandmas and she did amazing job with our boy. With our Goldendoodle he had a blast! Angelica is caring and thoughtful. I would recommend to all my friends and family members. Thank you for what you do!”
“Luciane and Luciano took care of my dog for 5 days and took such good care, he wasn’t even excited to see me when I got home. He was super happy there and walked a ton! They took so many photos and I got to see them all. I got plenty of updates on how he was doing. I was totally relaxed on my vacation because I knew he was in good hands! I seriously recommend them to watch your pets, they’re amazing at their job. DON’T waste your time looking for another petsitter, they’re the best around.?”

“Everything went very well. Lucy seemed happy and well taken care of. Malchom, Nicole and kids do a great job letting Lucy be part of the family. I’m sure Lucy enjoys being with the children. Would definitely keep using their services.”

“Rob again is an outstanding sitter. He goes above and beyond. Plays with Nova daily and gives her so much love and care. I’m in a situation where is travel and he has taken on keeping her as I find her a new forever home.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of hiring Emily to take care of Mel, my beloved dog, while I was away. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily updates during my trip, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention provided. Emily took the time to understand Mel's routine, preferences, and any quirks that might need special attention. It was evident that they genuinely love dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs. Every day, I received updates and photos that put my mind at ease, showcasing how happy and comfortable my pup was in their care. Not only did Emily provide regular meals and exercise, but they also engaged in fun activities and even took Mel on walks to the river walk. I could tell that my dog was getting plenty of love and attention, which is so important when you're away from home. Upon my return, Mel seemed relaxed and happy, which reassured me that I made the right choice by entrusting Emily with their care. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. They exceeded my expectations and truly treated Mel as if they were their own. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs! Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding service!”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“Angel was responsive and super flexible to work with. We had a last minute schedule change and he was really accommodating. Our dog came back super happy!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
I left my baby puppy with Jasmin and her husband for a week, and they were absolutely amazing. They kept in contact the whole time, and updated me with occasional pictures and videos. She’s so nice, and after our first meeting I was completely comfortable leaving my little puppy in her care. It’s always been incredibly important that my dogs receive adequate attention and care, and I know she did the absolute most when it comes to my Moonpie. I’d definitely book again.
Leslie was a fantastic dogsitter!! I will definitely be rebooking. She took great care of my pup who has been sick and takes some medication. She sent daily updates and photos and took excellent care of him. I didn’t worry about a thing. Leslie is also super warm and friendly and was flexible with us. I really enjoyed working with her.
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sasha received while we were away for the weekend. Jasmin and her husband were incredibly sweet, kind, and loving, and from the moment we met them, we knew Sasha was in great hands. Knowing our girl was being cared for and loved on like one of their own gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup, and that means everything to us. We truly appreciate the kindness they showed Sasha and would gladly trust them with her again. Highly recommend!
Tim did a fantastic job watching my dog, Simba. He was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. Simba was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Simba!
Highly Recommended Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we left our dogs in their care, we felt completely at ease knowing they were being treated with so much love, attention, and compassion. They truly went above and beyond our expectations and cared for our dogs as if they were part of their own family. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and receiving excellent care. Seeing how relaxed and content our dogs were made all the difference. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really stood out. They paid attention to our dogs’ needs, routines, and personalities, ensuring they felt safe and loved while we were away. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about caring for pets, I wholeheartedly recommend them. We would not hesitate to book with them again and are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care they provided. Thank you for treating our dogs like family! ❤️🐾
We had a great experience with Stacy! We started with a meet and greet, and she was wonderful with our 10-year-old dog, Reggie. She was super friendly, communicated clearly throughout, and it was obvious from the start that she genuinely loves dogs. Reggie especially enjoyed all the time she spent with him outside, which is one of his favorite things. We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care and would happily recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
She has been such an amazing dog sitter for my pup! She is incredibly sweet, clearly loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and always makes me feel at ease leaving my dog with her. She’s very easy to coordinate with for both drop-off and pick-up, which makes everything seamless and stress-free. I also really appreciate the daily updates and photos — it’s so nice knowing my pup is happy, loved, and well cared for while I’m away. Highly recommend!
Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!
“Bere was very helpful and communicated with me throughout the entire process. She made everything so easy, especially since this was our first time using Rover and leaving Willow and Vixen with someone new. We felt comfortable knowing they were in great hands, and we truly appreciated her care and updates

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Oak Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oak Park on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,375 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 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.
