“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“Lorraine took wonderful care of our Viszla puppy while we were out of town this summer … his experience looked like a stay at a doggy spa. He enjoyed time in the outdoor pool, played in the garden, went on lots of stimulating walks and had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Lorraine was responsive and generously sent us lots of pictures during his stay.”
“Adolfo was very responsive and worked with my dog Lily to ensure she was comfortable! He sent me daily picture updates, which help someone nervous with leaving their pup behind. I would recommend Adolfo and would use him again in the future if needed!”
“Tammy had a great setup with plenty of beds and comfy spaces for Dolly. Dolly loved the personal attention and wanted to immediately go back inside at pickup, a great sign! Tammy is responsive and responsible, and we were very happy with her!”
“Ruben took my Anubis on such short notice and if I could give him 10 stars I would. He was very communicative and consistent with updates/pictures. While away on a long business trip, every time I worried I was able to simply check my phone for peace of mind. So glad we chose Ruben and I will be using him again in the future.”
“I absolutely love this sitter! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and exhausted. She got sick on this last visit and they were very communicative and followed up after to make sure Rylee was okay. All good things to say!!!!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my husky pup! She can be a tough one, but I can tell she was very loved and cared for!!! And thank you so much for the regular updates!!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Marissa. She treated her like she was her own. Every picture she sent, our dog was happy and all smiles. Thank you, Marissa, for being our dogs “second mom” and giving her love, pets and lots of walks. We will definitely rebook. ❤️?”
“I had the pleasure of hiring Luciene as a dog sitter for my dog, a Chorkie, who can be quite tentative with strangers. Luciene was incredibly patient, allowing her to adjust at her own pace. She maintained great communication throughout, sending regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It’s clear she cares about the pets she watches and takes the time to ensure they’re comfortable. I would highly recommend Luciene to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter!”
“Sam was great with our two dogs, Lucy and Daisy, over a long weekend. I’m always a bit nervous leaving them because Lucy has specific medical needs, but Sam was very accommodating with her special feeding schedule and medications. Communication was great and they came home happy and well-cared for. We are glad we found Sam and will definitely book again!”
“Emily was very responsive and kept me up to date on how things were going with lots of pics/videos. It’s our second time booking and feel very confident our dog feels comfortable/safe with her!”
“Jasmin has been a great sitter for Zoey! She was quite easy to get ahold of and shared progress on Zoey often. She took lots of pictures and was able to let us know how our puppy was doing and how many friends Zoey was making. Zoey was a bit sad to leave but we're happy we could rely on Jasmin for our dog boarding needs. Recommended and will book again!”
“If I could give Yuetong more than 5 stars I would! She sent plenty of updates and photos and I could tell Griffin had a great time with all of her animals. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“My dogs had a blast with Eniya! She was very responsive, professional, and accommodating to my last minute request. My energetic dogs came home happy and ready to take a nap. I will definitely book again and wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone else.”
“Jamie was a great sitter for our dog Bonks! She sent regular picture and video updates which we loved. Our dog got along great with their pets, and we will definitely use Jamie again when we need a sitter in the future!”
“My dog was so calm after I picked him up boarding with Kyla. Energetically, I could tell that he was very well taken care of with her - no stress, no anxiety, just peace. TY KYLA!!!”
“Pamela was absolutely amazing. We left our sweet boy with her for almost three weeks and never had a doubt in our mind. She sent daily updates and made sure to keep us updated as much as possible. 13/10 would recommend.”
“Diana and Scott were amazing! They gave regular updates, sent fun videos/photos, and were super flexible. Ww will be sending our pup to stay with them again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
Shout out to Jasmine! Such a great experience with her! My dog Bulleit is a high-maintenance Border Collie who needs a lot of attention from his humans, so finding the right sitter has always been challenging and honestly gives me a lot of anxiety. And Bulleit said Jasmine is his favorite sitter, since he usually roasts me and barks at me for at least 1mins upon his pickup from daycare/boarding, but this time there’s no complaint🤣 Jasmine made everything so easy for me😭She’s incredibly caring and loving, and she kept me updated on how my dog was doing with lots of cute pictures. You can also tell that she has plenty of experience with different kinds of dogs and really knows how to make them feel comfortable. And doggos don’t lie, you can simply tell from their behavior whether they like their sitter and whether they’ve been treated well. I could tell that my dog felt genuinely happy, comfortable, and secure staying with Jasmine. For the first time, I was actually able to relax while I was away instead of constantly worrying about him. Highly recommend!! ❤️🐶
She and her husband were great! They took really good care of my dog, and she sent me pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I could tell my dog was in good hands, and I’m very happy with the care she received. I would definitely recommend them! 🐶❤️
We felt safe and secure leaving Hazel with this sweet family! They gave her extra love when needed, and I know Hazel enjoyed having the company of their dog and kids to keep her happy with lots of play time and attention during her stay. Would definitely book again.
This is my first time using Rover and I’m happy I gave it a try. Anette and her husband took great care of Kobe, keeping me updated and frequently sending pictures, very responsive and tending to Kobe as if he were their own. I felt a peace of mind while on vacation that Kobe was in good hands. I would certainly recommend Anette and request her again:)
We left our tiny (3.5 lbs) Chihuahua with Michelle and Otavio while we went to Japan for over a month. As soon as we left, he developed an ear infection. Michelle reached out to me right away to let us know. She made an appointment with our regular vet, took him to her (even though she is an hour away), and then gave him his medication for seven days. This is our third time having Michelle and Otavio watch Emerson. They’ve always taken such good care of him, I was not worried at all. The way they addressed this health issue was so impressive, I definitely hope to keep working with them in the future!
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the very beginning, he was kind, professional, and incredibly caring with our dogs. He kept us updated every day with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. His communication was outstanding, and he always responded quickly to any questions we had. We are so grateful for the excellent care he provided and will definitely book with him again in the future. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and who truly loves animals, we highly recommend him!
Colleen and her family did a fantastic job sitting for our pup (8mo doodle). We met her in advance so our dogs could test it out. This was a new experience for both of us so it was great that they were willing to meet in advance. The home and backyard provide a very dog friendly space. Family is very friendly and great with dogs. I received daily photos and little updates on how things were going.
Beryl was great to work with, and I would definitely want to book her again. She is organized and prompt in her communication and super reliable with rover responsibilities. Plus the dog (s) were a big fan of hers as well. They knew they were safe and well-cared for. Thanks Beryl!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oak Park on Rover is $55.5 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 5,289 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.
