“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for my puppy, Mabel. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated and sent the cutest photos throughout Mabel's stay. As anyone with a puppy knows, they can be full of energy and a little chaotic at times, but Michelle handled Mabel's craziness with patience and confidence.”
“Jo’Ell was really good with providing updates/pictures. Rex — my pup — seemed to have a great time! The fenced in yard was a plus as he likes to be outside. Thanks again!”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of Sydney and Lucy while we were gone for 9 days. They kept us updated while we were gone and sent us photos. We would use them again! Thanks guys!”
“Shirley is the BEST. She cared for our kitten with multiple congenital issues (cleft palate & twisted back legs) and accommodated her litterbox & play area to fit her mobility needs, along with tube feeding her by hand. I can tell she truly cares for animals and looks out for both pets and owners. She went above & beyond in consulting her veterinary knowledge from working in a specialty clinic to make it easier for us as owners to care for our Callie & plan for all her needs in the future. I got so many updates & pics/videos of Callie over the weekend, & we couldn't stop talking about how grateful we were she was spending the night with Shirley. We send love & thanks!!!”
“Justine and Brett were amazing to work with. We were first time rover users and from the first message I sent they were great with communicating and setting up the booking. They were super friendly and welcoming. You can also be confident that with Justine’s background working with pets she knows what questions to ask to take the best care of your dog and they really do treat your dog like their own. One of my favorite parts was how they sent pictures of our dog playing and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and we will be booking again!”
“Absolutely without a doubt one of the best cat sitters we have EVER had. Amberley and her husband Matt went above and beyond to slowly introduce my cats to their new surroundings - to the point where they were sleeping with the cats in a separate room to ensure their comfort and care. They went above and beyond a normal “sitter” service. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation. Communication, pictures, etc. were all consistent, prompt and reassuring. Thank you Amberley and Matt!?”
“Another worry free experience with Wayne. Extremely professional and organized. Daily photos and updates. Thanks again for this somewhat last minute booking- we appreciate it!!!”
“Michelle and Erika were great! They provided plenty of updates, photos and even videos during my dogs stay. They were friendly and reassuring and I will definitely use them again for future stays.”
“Christina and her family were the perfect house for our 8 month old puppy. They were amazing with him and Charlie and their dog became fast friends. We are grateful to have found a home we trust when we go out of town. Highly recommend Christina!”
“This was our puppy’s first time being away from us and Connie helped it go smoothly! She was great at sending a couple pictures while we were away, and when we picked him up, he was clearly very happy and comfortable in her home. She’s warm and welcoming.”
“Linda B and her family were fantastic. From the initial meet and greet we felt comfortable leaving our two pups in her care. During their week long stay she kept us up to date with how things were going and sent us photos. We would not hesitate to recommend her and plan on having her care for our two pups in the future.”
“First time leaving my 2 1/2 yr old Golden with anyone other than family so I was pretty nervous on how It would go but Danielle put my mind at ease and made my girl Emme a part of her family for the night! She even got her to eat her dinner which is always a struggle when the routine is switched up. Your fur baby is in great hands with Danielle.”
“Mary took great care of our girl. This was the first time we had to leave her with anyone else so we were a little worried. Ms Dolly was treated like she was at home. She got lots of walks in, which I know she loved. If we need a sitter again we would choose Mary, if she would take Dolly again.”
“Ingrida is very friendly and very good with dogs. She is very responsive and sends good pictures of our dog. Nala, our 1yr old mini golden-doodle was well taken care of for five nights when we had to be out of town.”
“Quandra is amazing! She knows how to care for large and small dogs, as well. Took great care of my Husky and her puppy, while I had to catch a flight on business. I highly recommend her.”
“Erica took fabulous care of my Duke. She treated him like he was her own dog. I truly appreciated how responsive she was when I would check in to see how the day was going. I would highly recommend Ericka and will be using her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oakbrook Terrace
Michelle is absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and caring, and Nori absolutely LOVES her. 🥹❤️ Michelle’s husband and two kids also adore Nori, which makes us feel so comfortable knowing she’s surrounded by so much love and care while we’re away. This was Nori’s first overnight stay (she has gone to daycare with Michelle multiple times before) and we couldn’t have felt better about leaving her with them. Michelle is flexible and accommodating and sends regular updates and photos, which we really appreciate! We’re so grateful to Michelle and her family for taking such great care of Nori. It’s clear how much they genuinely love her, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found them! ❤️🐾
Normally I would leave my pups with family members but none were available so I went with Maureen. I made the right choice. Maureen came to meet my two older girls so we could discuss all concerns, including some recent medical needs. When I dropped them off Maureen made them feel comfortable and they settled in nicely. If the need arrives in the future I won’t hesitate to use her again.
Karin really came through for us and our pup on a last minute booking. After a meetup with her and her dog we determined that she would be a great fit to care for our little guy. Karin was responsive and sent photo updates regularly throughout the stay. This helped to put us at ease since it is a new puppy to us and a very young dog. Can’t recommend Karin enough and we are grateful to have found someone so close to us that we can hopefully use in the future! Thanks again!
Benji spent another week with Amanda and he loved it! He does have a little bit of separation anxiety, this was his second time, and he had no problem heading into her door and away from me. She is amazing, sends updates with pictures and cuddles with him on the couch. Best sitter ever!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oakbrook Terrace on Rover is $55.5 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 .

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.
93% of Oakbrook Terrace 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 Oakbrook Terrace 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 Oakbrook Terrace 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 Oakbrook Terrace.
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 Oakbrook Terrace 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.
