“We have used Rover for a number of sitters and walkers in the past, and Janette and Charlie are the first ones we've used more than once! They send a ton of photos and videos, and are incredibly flexible with drop-offs/pickups. I know my dog is always in good hands whenever she stays with them!”
“I am delighted to provide a well-deserved five-star review for Diana who cared for Luna. She went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt loved and comfortable during her stay. Diana’s reliability and excellent communication made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pets.”
“Doug and Debbie were incredible hosts for our dog, Stella, while our family was away for a week. Stella can be slow to warm up to new people, but thanks to their gentle care, she quickly felt at ease. We had a few unexpected flight cancellations, which required Stella to stay an extra day, and Doug and Debbie happily accommodated her without any issues. We're so grateful that Stella had a safe, loving place to stay, and she especially loved their beautiful backyard patio. Will definitely be re-booking for any other family vacation!”
“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”
“Wilma was an amazing sitter, sending me daily pictures of Maisy and assuring me she’s eating, playing and doing fine. My dog didn’t want to come home! 😄 We’ll definitely be back!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Saga. I appreciated all the pictures you shared, it let me know that she was really enjoying herself! It is truly a comfort having such wonderful caretakers available when I have had to be out of town.”
“We’ve been preparing for this long stay with a few overnight stays to get our dog Poppy To get acclimated. Poppy stayed with Noor and her family for 12 nights!! We got updates and pics regularly. Poppy seemed so happy and cared for with them when I came To pick her up she didn’t want to leave right away. Really appreciate all of Noor’s Communication.l Plus all the love her family members have to apply. We’re thrilled to have a found a caring sitter.”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Boomer during a 2 night stay. They have a beautiful home and yard. Coordinating drop off and pick up was a breeze. She sent us photos of Boomer having a good time. Sarah was attentive when he became anxious and was very patient and helped him through it. We would recommend her and would definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Arlene was great about updating us on our pup. Loved all the photos we got and appreciated her extensive dog knowledge. Will be booking with her again for our next extended trip!”
“Jacob took such great care of Mia and Watson, our two Boston Terriers. The dogs had plenty of space to run and lots of fun with his dog, Murphy. I will definitely ask Jacob to pet sit again!”
“Hannah was awesome with our 4 month puppy Bella! She was super nice during our meet and greet and communicated well during Bella’s stay! It’s a paradise for pups in her home! Thank you Hannah, we’ll be back soon!”
“Our two girls, Elizabeth and Scout, were cared for wonderfully by Suzanne. On our first meet and great prior to boarding, our girls took to Suzanne immediately, this was GREAT to see since we booked a sixteen night stay! Elizabeth needed to have oral medication twice daily and Suzanne was happy to make sure Elizabeth's needs were met. We were pleased with how well our girls got along with Suzanne's new puppy, Harley ?, and her fenced-in yard provided a safe outdoor space for our girls to hang out. Suzanne was great at sending photos and videos, to keep us updated on how our girls were doing throughout our trip. When we picked our dogs up, we found two very happy girls, that had a great time in Suzanne's care. We highly recommend Suzanne for your dog sitting or boarding needs, as she really seems to have a way with dogs.????”
“Courtney was terrific with my dog. My dog has anxiety and doesn't eat good when I'm away. Courtney went above and beyond to help her eat. She's very laid back which is what my dog needs. Really knows her dog stuff as her career has always been working with dogs plus her vet tech degree. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Brian is wonderful. He and his family were so accommodating to our shifting pick up times due to family circumstances. And they took such great care of our boy. His stay was over the holidays, and Brian was so thoughtful to get Indy a Christmas chew toy of his own. He also was so great and proactive about sending daily updates and photos - that hasn’t always been our experience with others. Such a great stay, and Indy will be happy to go back to his new friends when the occasion arises.”
“I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks and even took him to the park to play and explore. She even insisted to home our dog for another night for free so we can have good rest coming from our vacation. She genuinely cares and we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Christian provided fantastic care of Clementine! He checked in often and provided updates of what they were up to, and she returned a happy happy girl. Would absolutely rebook!”

Sonya was great with my Havanese Chewie! The past dog sitters we've tried Chewie seemed really stress out afterwards. But not with Sonya! He seemed very comfortable with her and loved her kids. Happy to have found someone that works well with my dog and look forward to having her watch him in the future.
Lauren was wonderful with our little guy! She took great care of him, and we really appreciated her kindness and attention. He loves being around people, so it was comforting to know he was in good hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!
Deborah was wonderful! She took great care of our golden and made the entire boarding experience easy and stress free. She was friendly, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. We would absolutely book with Deborah again and highly recommend her!
We booked Olga for the second time to take care of our Tofu, and once again, she did an amazing job! She truly takes care of Tofu like he’s her own. We really appreciate how she keeps us updated throughout his stay and always sends us pictures, which gives us peace of mind knowing he’s happy and well taken care of. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter! 😊
Diana did a great job taking care of Theo while we were away. She was reliable, made sure he had everything he needed, and kept us updated on how he was doing. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!
Thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Junior. He is a senior dog and can suffer from separation anxiety and at time refuse to eat, but your frequent updates and attentive care put my mind totally at ease. Seeing how sweet your children were with Junior made the stay extra special. He absolutely loved the kiddos, playing in the backyard, and going on his daily walks. Junior came home incredibly happy. You will absolutely be our go-to sitter moving forward! Review Highlights * Anxiety-Free Stay: Handled senior dog worry with gentle, loving attention. And frequent photo and updates * Kid-Friendly Cuddles: Junior loved snuggling and bonding with the children. * Active & Happy: Great backyard playtime and daily walks kept him thriving. * Future Booking: Officially our new permanent, go-to pet sitter.
First time using a dog‑sitting service, and I was definitely anxious. Janette made the whole experience amazing. She sent pictures and videos almost every day of my dog playing with the other pups and spending time with her daughter. Seeing her so happy made my trip so much easier. I’ll absolutely be returning!
Lori and Guillermo are the best dogsitters! They've watched our dog Roxie a few times now when we've gone on vacation, and it's clear that they love her as much as we do. They're great at communicating and providing updates, and we can tell when we pick her up that she's had a fabulous time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Park Ridge is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,252 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Park Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Park Ridge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Park Ridge home-away-from-home, 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 Park Ridge.
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 Park Ridge 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 , 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 .
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.
