“My dog had a wonderful time. LaTasha sent updates, was very communicative and professional during my dogs stay. If we ever need a sitter again and she's and available we will definitely book again.”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Kind, friendly, so easy to work with. Rahied made what was an anxious situation for me, completely worry-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. I knew my furry friend was in good hands right at the moment I met Rahied. I have no reservations about recommending him.”
“We are very happy with the care Kadi provided for our dog, Louie! She put effort into making him comfortable, and he came home rested and calm. Kadi provides a safe, secure, and loving environment, and I highly recommend her!”
“Sogol was wonderful and attentive to my dog Chance. I appreciated the frequent updates that she provided. I could tell that Chance was well taken care of while I was away. I will definitely be booking with Sogol again and I would highly recommend her! 😊”
“Maritza & Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our Border Collie, Kaylee, while we were out of town for a few days. The updates and pictures they sent kept us informed as to how Kaylee was settling in and showed how happy she was to become a regular part of their day!”
“Joan of Bark stayed with Anna and it was great - sometimes Joan gets nervous and doesn’t eat or drink well, but Joan felt comfortable and was eating all her meals and drinking early in into her stay!! We got tons of pictures and updates which always helps. We would highly recommend Anna!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“Alex and Georgi were great sitters for Simba. Throughout the week, they shared videos and/or text me on how Simba was doing, which was nice because I was able to share with my family. More importantly, they spoiled Simba and he came home - a bit heavier and happy! He can't wait to come again...”
“Brittnie was great. She communicates all the time and sent plenty of pictures with the updates. I could not have been happier with her service and I highly recommend her.”
“My dog usually gets anxious in new places but staying with Cody was a great situation for her. He gave us consistent updates and she had a couple other dogs to play with during her stay. Would highly recommend!”
“I loved her. My puppy loved her. He had such a fun day you could see the smile in every photo she sent me. it was a very last minute booking and she was so sweet and communicative and made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog for the first time.”
“Sam totally and completely exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter and caregiver! Honestly, I was nervous about using Rover to find someone to watch our pit mix, Thelma Lou. She's a rescue and we're the third (and final!) home she's had, so we knew we didn't want to board her at a traditional facility. We also weren't sure how she would get along with other dogs. When we first reached out to Sam, I told her that we were open to boarding, but would prefer to have her drop in on Thelma. Sam really encouraged us to board Thelma with her and after our meet-and-greet, we were convinced! Sam was so positive, patient, and caring with our girl. And she did awesome at helping Thelma socialize with her dogs! Where Sam truly went above and beyond, was helping us make our wedding day special! The reason we had initially reached out was to have her watch Thelma Lou for our wedding. We had originally wanted to have her be a part of our ceremony, but ultimately decided that it would be too overwhelming for her. We then decided that we'd like to have her in our photos and Sam suggested that we add on a pick-up/drop-off service. Sam drove 45+ minutes (with today's insane gas prices!) to bring Thelma up to our venue for about an hour of pictures. She did such a good job and even brought toys and extra treats to get Thelma's attention and winning smiles! Bonus! Sam is taking classes to become a trainer - and it shows in the way she works with her pets. We will DEFINITELY be working with her again in the future! Thank you, Sam!”
“Luna had a wonderful time at Vicki’s house! She went on walks, enjoyed her time with their dog and felt completely comfortable there! We were also sent lots of pictures and updates. We would definitely have Luna stay there again!”
“Eriann took great care of my dog! She was very accommodating with my schedule and had availability last minute. She sent such thoughtful and fun updates every day so I knew my pup was in good hands! We will absolutely be back and know our dog couldn't be happier playing with her and George! Would absolutely recommend!”

Sydney is my first choice in booking a pet sitter! She's reliable, communicative (sends adorable pictures and updates daily as requested), and professional. I really appreciate her caring for my special needs dogs and I know that she will give them the care and attention they require! ❤️
I highly recommend Rachael for dog sitting. She took the best care of Gatsby - she sent pictures daily and took him for lots of walks.Now that he is home, I can tell that he misses hanging out with her goldendoodle, Rosie. They were very cute together. Thanks, Rachael!
Kadi is amazing and my sweet little old girly girl, Dolly, just loves her. ❤️ Dolly is 13 and doesn’t ever play with dogs but Kadi sent me pictures of Dolly having the best time playing with her dog. It made me so happy! I will definitely be using Kadi for doggy care the next time we travel.
Vicki and William were great with Eddie and Gabbie! For their first visit, Vicki was kind, loving, patient, and made sure they were comfortable. After losing our sitter of over 20 years, we feel very happy and grateful to have found Vicki and William. Eddie and Gabbie look forward to spending more time with them.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oak Park on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,635 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 MI 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.
