“Janette and Charlie watched our dog for the first time last week while we were on vacation. They were flexible with our schedule, and sent lots of pictures and videos so we could keep up on how Sadie was doing. She had a great week with them!”
“Deb and Doug did a wonderful job taking care of our pup (and us)! We have never left her with a non-family member before, and they put everyone at ease with an initial meet and greet. During our trip, they were communicative and sent daily updates and photos letting us know how everything was going.”
“So pleased we found Elva. Her and her daughter were so sweet with my pup and I was sent daily messages, pictures and videos which put my mind at ease. I appreciated Elva taking time to learn Mochas mannerisms to take care of her better. Would totally recommend.”
“This was Daisy’s first stay with Joe but it won’t be her last! Joe clearly loves dogs and that gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the photos and videos he shared with us. It was great to see Daisy enjoying herself with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe.”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
“Kent is always wonderful with my Chloe! She’s a small dog who can be reactive and have separation anxiety but Kent deals with her issues with incredible care.”
“If you have an anxious dog like mine, who needs a quiet, less-stimulating environment, Karla is perfect. She is reliable, communicative, and understands a dog's needs. I'm a repeat customer and highly recommend her.”
“Arlene was awesome… sent pics of Hudson and helped me feel better because I hate leaving him. He walked right in and he always looked like he was smiling. Great job”
“We have been lucky to work with Carla several times. This time we left Zola with Carla for over two weeks. Zola looked happy and healthy and we received numerous updates thought the stay. Looking forward to the next stay! Thanks!”
“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”
“Eric was great at communicating and our dog came home a happy guy. I appreciated that he asked so many questions about our dog so that he knew exactly what to do. I would definitely recommend Eric.”
“This was my first long trip away since getting Clifton and I was so lucky to find Jeff and Ron. They gave great updates and took great care of Clifton. I picked him up and he was happy and calm! Will not hesitate to send Clifton back for a stay.”
“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.”
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jackie took such amazing care of Aomi! She made sure Aomi was comfortable and happy every single day. I really appreciated the daily pictures and videos — it was so nice to see how well Aomi was doing while I was away. Communication was excellent; Jackie always kept me updated and responded quickly to any questions. Her home has a lovely, welcoming environment, and Aomi clearly felt right at home there. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — we’ll definitely book with Jackie again! 🐾”
“My wife & I recommend Ewa very highly. She took the best care of our dog & kept us updated with pictures the entire time. Her lovely home & large backyard provided a great setting for our dog to socialize with other pets. Lucy looked perfectly happy when we picked her up. We look forward to having Ewa pet sit our Lucy again!”
“Erin was amazing with Remy from strong and frequent communication to managing his many peculiarities (he loves to rip up a paper towel). Erin also was able to care for Remy when he was feeling sick and anxious to be away from me; will absolutely book again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Park Ridge
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.
