“As always, Joerg and Lake took such good care of Luna! She is always so loved over there and has the best time playing with their pup Lizzie. I always know she is safe in their hands! Thanks again for being the absolute best, Joerg and Lake! ❤️❤️”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Jenny was great! She was friendly, personable, caring and was in constant communication with us during our trip, sending us pics and short vids of what Odie was up to. She has a nice size yard for her 2 doggies and Odie to run around in and her yard is connected to a park for longer walks. Odie was much happier with Jenny and her dogs than being crated in a kennel all day so I’m glad we went with Rover and Jenny. If you want a worry-free stay for your dog, I wouldn’t hesitate to go with Jenny.”
“Jan was a dream dog sitter! Our elderly dog was comfortable and so carefully cared for under Jan’s care. She was responsive, flexible, communicative, and takes great pride in her individualized care of each dog she cares for. You can trust Jan- she is amazing!”
“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!”
“Sophie is absolutely amazing. I am always nervous when I have to bord my little Maltese but this time I could really enjoy my vacation without worry. Sophie sent pictures of Maya every day, and she looked sooo happy and received so much love and attention. She is only taking one dog at the time, she allowed her to sleep in her bed, I couldn't find a better sitter! I highly recommend Sophie, she is definitely the best!”
“Excellent sitter who was so lovely with our dog. She was so thorough and friendly during drop off, and gave us daily updates when we were out of town which was greatly appreciated. Pippa was so relaxed and loved being there. Gabriela was patient and truly saved us too by being flexible and understanding when we had an unexpected delay. She is the best, cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I got my first dog in May of 2024 and he has changed my life. There were qualities that I know I had, but to get to see them in action made me really proud of myself. I’m really patient and that was definitely tested when he was a puppy, but I made it through and I’d 100% do it again and again. Same goes with senior dogs, I know they need a bit more attention and I’m here to give that. We have a really calm environment and a lot of windows so when their not outside they can still see what’s going on. I believe I have everything to take care of a dog, but each dogs needs are different and I want to learn them. I’m currently only working part-time, about 15 hours a week, so I have plenty of free time to spend with them, play, sit outside, walk, etc. My own doggy pretty much just does everything with me, so I’d treat them the same. I have a fenced yard and also a tie-out rope for extra security if needed. I have a large crate that my dog sleeps in some nights, but he also sleeps in my room, so the crate is available if needed. I have three floors for them to run up and down, and a tie-out on the porch so they can sit by me while I read or roam the front yard.
“Our girl was well cared for!!!! I was super hesitant to let Zoey stay with D’Artagnan at first since he has a dog of his own. Our Zoey had resource aggression and likes to take over people’s spaces. D’artagnan and his partner are clearly well versed in everything dog care and not only took great care of her but effectively set boundaries for Zoey. I appreciate all the pics and notes and felt at ease knowing she was okay while we were out of town. Happy to have a loving and trustworthy person to take care of our baby in the future.”
“Andrea was my first sitter on Rover. It couldn't be better. After meeting her and her family I went very calmly on my vacation. Athena would stay with her again without a doubt.”
“Nicest people! True dog lovers. Dogs have full run of large backyard. Would definitely like to use Tracy & Rick again IF they would have my pups! Pups woke them up to go outside at 4AM!”
“Charise was great with our girl! She helped her overcome her separation anxiety, gave frequent updates and totally spoiled her! We will definitely rebook with her the next time we are visiting Chicago. ❤️”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“From the moment I met Kelly, I sensed her genuine love for animals. Her welcoming environment assures not just my cat, but any pet, would feel right at home. Kelly’s passion for pet care is evident in her actions and the happiness of those she looks after. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking top-notch care for their pets!”
“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.”
“Annette and her husband did a wonderful job with my dog Teddy! I had adopted him just a few weeks before I had to leave for a few days, so I was worried about him being anxious while I was away. But they took great care of him and sent adorable photo updates every day! He also enjoyed playing in their backyard.”

“I had to cut my trip short and Michelle was very accommodating. Louie was completely worn out when we got home so he must’ve had lots of play time while visiting. I will definitely book with Michelle again.”
“Kae was amazing! Coordinated a pickup and delivery, handled my pets with care and provided comforting updates! 10/10 and absolutely will be booking again.”
“Coalie loved her time with Angel! Angel sent daily pictures and videos of her playtime and walks and was quick to respond when I would check in.”
“Amy, Chris, and their entire family were extremely awesome to work with and, even more than that, treated our little guy like their own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Park Ridge
Our cats just stayed with Janet for 5 days and they had the best time. They loved playing with her cats and hanging out on the Catio. We've boarded with her before and our cats feel right at home with her family, they are such an amazing, animal-loving family. We won't hesitate to book with her again next time we travel!
Vlad and Laura provided a welcoming environment for our pup and were super communicative, both before and during the stay. They went out of their way to ensure our pup had what he needed to feel comfortable and have an enjoyable stay. Would definitely book with them again!
I felt completely comfortable leaving our 13 yo pug with this family. She sent plenty of pictures to us showing us that Olive Oyl was completely content and comfortable. She had to be given medication each day which Janette did without problems. I recommend this family wholeheartedly. Thanks Janette for your kind care with Olive.
Olga was absolutely amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Mintie! ❤️ I was away in abroad for 17 days, and Olga sent me photos, videos, and updates about Mintie every single day. Knowing that Mintie was in such loving hands and being able to see how she was doing gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Even when Mintie had a few potty accidents in the house, Olga was incredibly patient, understanding, and kind. I truly appreciated how well she cared for Mintie throughout her stay. Olga was also incredibly kind and understanding when my pickup plans didn’t go as expected. Her patience and flexibility meant so much to me, and I’m truly grateful for her kindness. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your fur baby, but Olga truly went above and beyond. She is caring, reliable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful. I would absolutely trust her with Mintie again and recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter. Thank you so much, Olga, for taking such wonderful care of Mintie when I was away! I am so lucky to have found you! 🥹❤️
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!
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!

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!

There are 5,465 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Park Ridge. About 90% of Park Ridge 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
