“I’m so grateful for the wonderful care Nova received while I was away! She absolutely loved her Ann and enjoyed the company of the other dogs. The atmosphere was very clean, calm, and welcoming clearly a space where pets feel comfortable and safe. It gave me peace of mind knowing Nova was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be bringing her back again! 🐾”
“Melvin absolutely LOVES staying at Melissa’s house. He is given so much love and attention. I trust very few people with my pup but I can tell Melissa gets him and makes sure he feels comfortable. I am so relieved I can travel and not worry about him while I’m away.”
“Cathy is the absolute Best! My puppy is a very picky eater and Cathy goes out of her way to make sure she eats! I swear my dog was smiling when I picked her up. Best sitter ever! Let's not forget all the pic updates we get ❤️Thank you Cathy!”
“Demetra was amazing!! We loved their family and our pug was so happy! He had such a great time with them and they took such good care of him! I am looking forward to bringing him over again!”
“Aeli has looked after our boy Charlie several times now and he always has the best time at her house. We get updates several times per day which we appreciate and he always looks so happy, whether he’s playing or relaxing with belly rubs!”
“This was our second time having our pet stay with them, and once again, we could tell how happy and excited our pet was the whole time! 🐶❤️ Even though we were away traveling and couldn’t be together, they sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel like we were right there with our pet. We’re always so grateful for the loving care and attention they give. Thank you so much, as always! 🥰”
“Elizabeth and Oleg took such great care of Maia! When I picked her up she was smiley, tired from all the playtime (Maia loves to play and they followed instructions), and so happy. They were so helpful and communicative, I’m already looking to book ahead for November.”
“Kelly was wonderful! This was our first time with her as a sitter and of course I was nervous. But Kelly was amazing and reassuring and sent me pictures throughout my time away. My babies came back home happy and healthy. I 100% recommend Kelly as a sitter and trust her.”
“We have a high energy pup! As soon as we handed the leash over to Maureen and saw them briskly walking down the street together, we were confident that our girl was in very good hands! Good communications, really took the time to listen to everything we shared with her about our pup. We highly recommend Maureen and will use her again!”
“Rokiea took very good care of Nala and kept us well updated throughout her stay. Nala loved spending time in the yard and seemed to be calm in their mellow neighborhood. I would definitely contact Rokiea again for future stays.”
“We are so appreciative of the wonderful care that Chialing provided our fur baby. It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. I really appreciate the fact that she says she will take the puppies for walks and provides photos and videos of them on their walk. She provides a clean, safe, roomy environment for the babies. Her and her partner Ali, who is also a Rover sitter work together and both are professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend.”

“Michele is amazing! Despite a last minute reservation, she arrived shortly after the booking and picked up our dog when our original plan failed. Michele was excellent with communicating and sending daily photos and videos. I can’t say enough great things about Michele and her family. Thank you so much for caring for our dog, as if he were your own! We will book with her again without hesitation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Park Ridge
Evelyn and her husband were fantastic with our maltipoo, Stormi. They immediately made Stormi feel at home. She consistently sent pictures and videos putting us at ease knowing Stormi was being well taking care of. She was very attentive and caring. Stormi had a great time. I would highly recommend them.
Irene and Ken were real lifesavers! We had a family emergency and needed their help right away. They were flexible, accommodating, and caring. They took great care of Troy, communicated with us and sent pictures, and were so nice! This is the second time that we utilized their services. It won't be the last. Superb sitters and great people!
Jessica did an amazing job watching Betsy. I have an elderly dog who is very skittish but she relaxed and seemed very happy with Jessica. She took her for walks and sat with her. She gave her medication and even tried to clean her ear. Our family felt very happy and secure knowing that Betsy was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Jessica. She has such positive energy and really loves dogs.
Brittany and her family were absolutely wonderful with Cooper. From the updates she shared to the care and attention they gave him, we could tell he was genuinely loved and treated like part of their family. Honestly, I think Cooper was a little sad to leave them! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for and loved just as he would be at home with us. Brittany truly became an extension of our family, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her with Cooper again. Thank you, Brittany and family!
I booked Hope to board Walter at her home overnight when I had a wedding to attend! We did a meet and greet before the overnight visit and Hope showed me where Walter would sleep and spend the day! It was reassuring to know she had a gate to keep Walter and his puppy antics contained. During the actual stay she sent many cute pictures of Walter enjoying his stay. She also cleaned his eyes for me and gave me some grooming tips for him! He came home looking even better than when I dropped him off!! I would definitely book with her again! :)
Robyn was absolutely wonderful ! She’s very caring and accommodating. This was my first time leaving my dog with other than family and she made Me feel so safe leaving my dog. I’m enjoyed my weekend with no worries I will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her!!
Meredith did a great job taking care of my senior dog. She has senior dogs herself so she was very understanding. She also gave me good feedback. She communicates very well and responds quickly. She has a nice fenced in yard. My dog got along well with Meredith and her dogs. I think she had such a good time that she didn't want to come home! Thanks Meredith!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Park Ridge is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 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 of November 2026, there are 13,520 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Park Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
94% 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, 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Park Ridge. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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 NJ 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
