“First time experience with Michelle and a good one overall! Great communication and upfront about the experience. Appreciate Michelle’s willingness to give some extra support to our pup who took some warming up to boarding. Would definitely consider for future boarding.”
“Lauren, and her family, were so kind, communicative and caring for our old boy! We couldn’t have been happier with Aspen’s care and are so grateful he was in such great hands!”
“Jose and family are the greatest hosts! We’ve been blessed to have Jose watch over our Gracie on multiple occasions and we can rest assured that Gracie is well taken care of. My only worry is that she won’t want to leave and come home with us! Thankful for Rover as well and this service.”
“We love Lori and Mark. Our dog stayed with them two times now and was loved on the entire time. No worries on our end. We received updates while we were away and nothing but tail wags when we picked him up! We will definitely be a repeat customer and recommend them for your pups. 5 stars all the way!”
“Rico did a great job taking care of our senior rescue dog, Fritz! He sent lots of pictures, was quick to respond when I asked a question, and was very tolerant of Fritz’s quirks . We could tell Fritz was treated like part of the family!”
“Julie & Mark provided the BEST overnight experience for my dog, Elsie. They really cared for her as if she was their own and sent many cute updates with pictures. They kept her active in their fenced in back yard playing catch and playing with their dog.”
“Yuliya is AMAZING! My dogs loved her so much they seconds guessed coming home with me! She is my go to dog sitter and I’m very lucky to have found her on Rover. Thank you for taking such good care of Marcus and Faustina. They’ll be back to stay with you soon!”
“i would give 10 stars if i could! Thao took great care of our puppy and we’ve never seen our dog so happy while away from us. We got so many updates and even with the severe weather that occurred during our dogs stay, Thao ensured our dogs safety and comfort! We are extremely grateful for Thao’s expertise and support and would 100% trust her for another stay in the future!”
“Jamie was a great sitter for our dog Bonks! She sent regular picture and video updates which we loved. Our dog got along great with their pets, and we will definitely use Jamie again when we need a sitter in the future!”
“Rima is amazing with Milo. Our dog is a senior and is not the easiest to care for but Rima always finds a way to get along with him and takes the best care of him. We are always at peace leaving him with her while on vacation. We always get updates and pictures of how he's doing and it's very nice to say the least. It's been few times Milo stayed with Rima and few other dog pals and he loves her dearly. Always looking forwards in staying with her again. Thank you for all you do for Milo, Rima and know you are a savior who allows this family to vacation in peace.”
“Christine is an excellent sitter, and I look forward to booking her again. My dog, Bentley, is my world and this was the first time, he was going to stay with a non-relative. I was nervous how he would do, but after returning from my vacay, I brought home a happy & healthy dog. His overall demeanor was enough for me to know that he was well taken care of and looked after. Also, Christine’s dog, Chloe is a sweet gentle gal, and it was easy for Bentley who has only-child syndrome to get along with her.”
“Sailor had a great time with his stay-cation with Tanya! Tanya is clearly comfortable with dogs of all types, including big boys like ours. Her home and yard is doggie heaven - I think I even caught Sailor wistfully looking behind him as we drove off after pick up! I appreciated the frequent communication since our guy does have some quirks. We will definitely look to Tanya for future care.”
“Yamile and her family and her pets have just been amazing. Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!! In fact she seemed sad to leave when it was time for her to come home. We have already booked a follow up stay!! Thanks yamile - you have been a life saver:)”
“My dog, Lucky, had a great time. We were gone for 10 days and he was so happy. Communication and care were top notch. We will definitely book again the next time we are out of town.”
“Cecilia is our go-to sitter for our senior dog, Bailey! She is patient and caring. She gives him all his pills and adjusts for his level of limited activity. She even carried him upstairs to bed to sleep with her because he isn’t able to do the stairs anymore, and she didn’t want him to be alone. Her house is super dog-friendly with a giant dog bed in her living room. She can even watch him on camera while she’s at work. Cecelia sent lots of text updates, photos, and even videos to put us at ease. We have already booked Bailey’s next trip with Cecilia. She is super responsive and flexible. We knew Bailey was in good hands.”
“Camille was great with our dog Rex! Very friendly and accommodating, took care of him for 5 days, sent daily updates with photos, spoiled him with long walks, treats and even bough him Christmas gifts! Great experience and Rex seemed happy and very well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Camille!”

Hannah did a fantastic job watching Gatsby when we were out of town multiple times. I was really impressed with her communication , she sent the pics regularly and provided the updates . Gatsby had a great time and we would highly recommend Hannah and intend on trusting her again for any of our future dog needs. Thanks Hannah
D'Artagnan is great! First time leaving my dog Zena with someone else. He made me feel comfortable and confident in leaving my pup with him. Zena was nervous at first with the larger dog. She was trying to hide or would run to the door but when I picked up Zena the next day she didn't want to leave which is the best sign for you to know if went well. D'Artagnan will be my go to when friends and family are not available. Best price and flexible! Especially when you are not fully sure of your travel plans which I appreciate both greatly. Thank you!
Donna is wonderful!! So kind to our dog, accommodating, in-tune with everything our dog needed, and happy to shift time as we needed for schedule changes. Lightning fast responses, amazing daily updates without us even asking. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands while we traveled. Highly highly recommend!
Cindy and her family took such good care of Aslan this past week! They so graciously accepted Aslan even when they had just gotten a brand new puppy, so Aslan got to play big brother for a whole week! Cindy sent me so many pictures and videos everyday! I picked up a very happy and tired pup at the end of our trip! Great family to trust with your dog!!
Svitlana was absolutely wonderful to our 5 month old English Bulldog named Snookie. She provided many pictures and videos of Snookie during the 6 days we apart from our puppy. From the moment we stepped foot in her home, we immediately can tell her love for our dog. I highly recommend her and will definately rebook with her again.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Prospect Heights sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Prospect Heights landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Prospect Heights 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 Prospect Heights.
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 Prospect Heights 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 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.
