“This review is about a week late, sorry. When we plan our vacations, our first step is to confirm Candace can watch our dog, Rocco. She is a super good dogsitter and you can tell our dog is very happy to be going there. We get pictures and updates every day. We always had anxiety leaving Rocco for several days however, since we found Candace we are much more relaxed going on vacation. Thanks Candace, Steve and Pumkin!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving our dog Buddy with Michelle and her family. I could tell they were dog lovers and I know he was well taken care of the four days we left him with them!”
“I will 1000% use Meaghan again. She accepted my dog into her home and treated her like she was part of the family. From family outings, to walks, to hanging out with her and her children, my dog was always included. I love that she sends morning updates with pictures. Being able to see that she is calm and comfortable with Meaghan and her family is very reassuring. My dog is very anxious, especially when we go out of town, and tends not to eat when we are gone. Meaghan was consistent and patient with her and finally was able to get her to eat on the 2nd or 3rd day.”
“Kate is the best! I knew it was a match the first time I met her. My baby made new friends and had a great time at his "sleep over"😊 THANK YOU Kate for understanding my anxiety about leaving him with someone other than family.🥰”
“Our pup was so well-loved by Patricia and her family. From the second she met our dog I knew she was in good hands and the regular updates and pictures she sent reassured us of that. Could not recommend her services more highly!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog, Chief! She took great care of him while we were away and kept us updated so we knew he was doing well. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s very kind, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Our dog loves coming over! She gets so excited in the car when she sees Joy. I also love getting photo updates from them, she’s always playing and well taken care of! 10/10 don’t even think twice, book now!”
“Highly recommend Rachel. Meet and greet was very good - she asked numerous questions so she would be fully equipped to handle any issue. We left our sweet Stella with Rachel for 7 days and we received several photos and updates throughout the entire week. Rachel is kind and sweet and clearly loves taking care of the world’s furry friends. We plan to book with Rachel the next time we go out of town. She did a great job!!”
“Thank you Kimberly for taking care of Ripley! We really enjoyed the pictures and the updates on Ripley! Also, we really appreciated you making sure Ripley ate something while staying with you! You made our trip away enjoyable knowing Ripley was taken care of! We would definitely book with you again!!!!😊”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“1000/10, She contacted me everyday with updates and pictures/ videos. I definitely will be recommending her to my friends and family. My dog loved Ms. Toya, she came back home just as happy as she was when I dropped her off!!!”
“Amy was amazing! I left my cat Dino in her care for over a week, and she was very communicative, kind, and caring for my cat. By the end of his stay, he was even cuddling with her throughout the night because of how comfortable he was. Will definitely book again! 10/10 service would recommend”
“Michelle and Christy make me feel so comfortable about our dogs wellbeing while we’re out of town. They are great communicators and let you know what’s happening at home. I have used them many times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“We left Hershey w/Julie & her family for what was to be 5 nts. It was our first experience ever leaving him. They were incredible w/him! I got a picture & message everyday, which was comforting. We had a situation which delayed our return, and they worked w/us when we had to change in pick up time, even offering to keep him another night or two if needed! Will definitely book with them again!! Highly recommend!”
About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Park Forest is $50

We had a great experience with Kiana! She kept us updated with photos, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and comfortable during the stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Veronica was an amazing host to my dog. She provided updates and photos daily and was very timely with responses to my questions. When I picked up Test, I could tell he had a great time and was very much relaxed while there. Will definitely come back for the next trip and high recommend Veronica as an awesome doggy host.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Park Forest on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,621 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Park Forest. About 90% of Park Forest sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
