“We had another fantastic experience with Marissa. This was her second time watching our 11 years old dachshund, and we couldn't be happier. Since he's a senior dog, it means the world to us knowing he's in such gentle, attentive, and caring hands. He was so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. We will definitely be booking Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“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.”

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.
“After reading so many great reviews. We decided to go with Julie to watch both our boys (Mason & Mailo) and we can confirm Julie is the best. We received updates, pictures sent daily and the boys seemed to enjoy their time with Julie. We are very happy to know we have someone we can 100 percent trust with our boys. We highly recommend Julie. Sincerely, Rob & Val ( aka helicopter dog mom)”
“Melissa and her family took wonderful care of Zephyr! Really grateful to have someone I can trust to take care of him when I need to leave him behind. He was so comfortable with them.”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Boomer during a 2 night stay. They have a beautiful home and yard. Coordinating drop off and pick up was a breeze. She sent us photos of Boomer having a good time. Sarah was attentive when he became anxious and was very patient and helped him through it. We would recommend her and would definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Julie and Mark took very good care of our fur babies. This was our first time leaving them with anyone that was not family. Julie and Mark were great with sending us photos and I could see how happy and well treated my dogs were. I would highly recommend them and will absolutely use them again!”

We had a wonderful experience with Vicki. She is very warm, kind and dependable and took excellent care of Sammi. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that Sammi was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! D’Artagnan and his wife cared for our two dogs as if they were their own, giving them so much love, attention, and reassurance. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly felt completely at ease in their care—which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. He also shared thoughtful advice and insight that helped us better understand our dogs, and his knowledge of dog behavior is truly impressive. We’re incredibly grateful to have found them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family members!
Thank you so much Beth and family! We really appreciate you and your family caring for our little love Copper. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. We received regular photo updates and sweet messages during our trip. Copper looked so happy! It was comforting knowing she had a wonderful experience being a part of their loving family! We will definitely book with Beth again! - Mariellyn and Michael
Dar took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away! They seemed very happy and comfortable during their stay and were clearly well cared for. Dar made sure they got plenty of walks and lots of time outside, which they absolutely love. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Dar to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter, and I would happily have my dogs stay with Dar again!
Melissa was a wonderful host for my pet, Nysa. She took great care of her for the entire week and kept us updated regularly with pictures, which we really appreciated. It looks like Nysa had so much fun with her kids and her dogs! Melissa was also very helpful when Nysa ran out of food and made sure she had what she needed. Overall, Melissa did a great job caring for Nysa, and we would definitely love to have her stay with Melissa again the next time we travel. Highly recommend her! 🐾❤️
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!!

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.
There are 5,431 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Prospect Heights. About 90% of Prospect Heights 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.
