“Hannah is fantastic. She is incredibly skilled and knowledgable about dogs. She sees each dog as an individual and responds to their unique needs. Nothing fazes her. She is super responsive and communicative. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Luciana is an absolutely amazing sitter! My pup stayed with her for three weeks, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She and her whole family treated my dog like one of their own, giving her so much love, care, and attention every single day. I truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for while I was away. I would trust Luciana with my dog again without hesitation. I highly, highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy sitter. She is simply the best!”
“This was our first time boarding with Cindy and we couldn't have been more pleased. Cindy is super nice, shared lots of photos and updates with us, and has an amazing, big, fenced-in backyard that allowed our dog to explore and walk around in safely. Cindy took the time to have a nice meet and greet with us before we decided to board our dog with her, and to make sure our pup got along with her dog Coco, who is super sweet and very easy going. They got along great! 5/5 would recommend and book again!”
“Ewa was amazing! Our dog got comfortable quickly in her home. She sent us pictures and videos of the dog having fun in her amazing yard, which is a dog heaven setting. We’ll definitely go back.”
“We could not have selected a better home for Jussi to spend the week in. Rather than just agreeing to board Jussi, Vicki wanted to know as much about Jussi's character & needs beforehand so that she could tailor her care appropriately. Moreover, Vicki was not only not put off by her particular age-related difficulties, she was extremely sympathetic & understanding. The updates we received while on vacation showed Jussi active & interacting with other dogs on hand, & it was clear she received all the love & attention she needed. Boarding Jussi with Vicki & her family was an excellent experience & we will not hesitate to seek out her services in the future. Thank you, Vicki, for loving & caring for our Jussi in our absence.”
“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:)”
“Prithvi and Varun were truly great!! This was our first time using Rover, and we were unsure of the whole process. Prithvi walked us through everything, we had a great meet and greet, and they were so responsive. We just finished our booking and every day we got updates and pictures, and immediate responses. I felt so comfortable having my dog with them, and plan on using them again. Very positive and great experience!”
“Thomas and Kelly were super communicative and were able to accommodate my request on short notice. I got daily photos updates and I can tell she was in great hands. Thank you both for taking care of Emery!”
“Leigh and Richard were great! It was our first time using Rover, and Leigh and Richard exceeded all expectations. They provided updates regularly and it was very evident that our dog, Lucy, was very well cared for and loved. We can’t wait to use them again!”
“This was Penny’s second stay with Tatiana. She is always professional, thoughtful, and responsive. She is great with our older girl, who is a little slower than she used to be and needs a little TLC. PS - thanks for all the belly rubs! Love the daily updates and photos! Thanks again for taking such great care of Penny. Will not hesitate to book again!”
“I am so happy I chose Michael to care for my Aussie Layla. She is like my child and I was worried about leaving her but Michael immediately put my mind at ease. He was so warm and welcoming and Layla went right to him. It was apparent how much he loves dogs. His home and fenced yard provided a safe environment with plenty of room to roam. He took Layla on nice walks and stayed in touch with me through texts and pictures. I will definitely continue to use him for any future needs.”
“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!”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“My girls loved their stay with D'Artagnan. Our American bully gets super anxious and new environments and he and his girlfriend were perfect at helping her feel calm and relaxed. Nike was also a great playmate for both of them! We will definitely book with them again!”
“First time using the Rover service and Eileen made the experience easy and care free. She welcomed our dog Buster into her home like she would her own dogs, and helped make his time away from his people to be a pleasant experience for him. Eileen was great about daily check in's and communication. We definitely will keep Eileen in mind for future boarding needs. Thanks Eileen for taking such good care of Buster!”
“Watched our Gus who is a rescue and has aggression. Bob took him in with no hesitation. We had Gus stay at Bob’s for 4 nights for our first time with Bob. Will definitely book wil Bob from now on. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“1st time leaving my dog with complete strangers but when I tell you, it was the best decision we made. When I walked into their home to dropped my dog off, there was such a calmness I felt, all nervousness disappeared immediately. My dog was loved and well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures from the family. I will 100% have them sit my dog again.”
“Janette and Charles did a great job for my first time having Leo watched. They made sure he was cared for and got along with the other dogs they had. Would recommend them”

Melissa and her whole family treated my dog in a loving and caring manner. The kids were great with my dog and she has two dogs that got along well with my boy. Melissa sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated!! I can highly recommend Melissa. She is a great caretaker!
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.
Anish, Carol and their sweet children took such great care of our puppy for the weekend. They treated him like family and sent updates and just an all around wonderful family! Would def recommend! We hope to see you all again! Our puppy was definitely on a staycation with Anish and family! :)
Vicky was very responsive and flexible. This was my first time booking through Rover and she was very helpful in guiding me through the booking process and when I had to modify the booking. Vicky and family were kind and affectionate with my dog. She was willing to adapt her life to my dog’s need’s and preferences. i.e.allowing my dog to sleep on her bed. I would highly recommend Vicky.
Joanna and her family were absolutely amazing with our boy. We could see their passion for dogs and caring for them, right away. We were away for a week and while we missed Sarge very much, we were at great ease with the care he recieved. Sarge got along great with their two absolutely adorable dogs. We were very impressed with the pictures and daily updates. We will 100% rebook with Joanna. Highly recommend! 🐾

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Prospect Heights on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,393 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Prospect Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
