“Perfect home and perfect care. We received pictures/videos all the time and they provided updates on activities. They treated melon like their own dog.”
“Diana took really good care of our dog Lucy for over a week! She was flexible and gave us updates. When we picked up Lucy we can tell she was happy and enjoyed Diana and her family’s company! Thank you Diana for loving Lucy while we were away!”
“I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks and even took him to the park to play and explore. She even insisted to home our dog for another night for free so we can have good rest coming from our vacation. She genuinely cares and we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”
“Kaylee was super great!! Edy loved staying there and got tons of energy and excitement out too! We got tons of pictures from her overnight and lots of updates. Our dog came home super happy and tired!”
“Cecilia is the best! She's been watching my older pittie on and off for over a year. My husband and I just went away for 2 weeks overseas and she was amazing caring for our dog. Highly recommend her!”
“Thao was wonderful with our Theo, while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and updates on how he was doing. Theo really enjoyed playing with her two dogs as well. We will definitely be using her again for further get aways.”
“My dog made himself right at home with Eliza! They got on really well and I had loads of pictures during his stay. He was very happy and healthy when I saw him again, and he enjoyed himself tremendously. I’m very happy to recommend Eliza as someone who is very enthusiastic about dogs, has a great place, takes really good care of them (let my dog out several times a day!). She was great and I hope we can visit her again sometime! (Tucker thinks so too...)”
About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!
“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)”
“Our Nellie had a great time with Stephanie. She had so much fun playing with Leon. It was her first time with a sitter, but Stephanie was great keeping her routine and sending us updates and pictures, which made us feel so much better while vacationing. Highly recommended!”
“Kyle is the best! We just moved to the area and couldn't be happier to have found him. He took amazing care of our dog and sent us pics every day while we were away. Super easy going, quick communication, great with your furry friend! Will definitely be booking with him during our next trip away =)”
“One word for Melissa….Amazing. Now a few more words why. Melissa took such perfect care of our cat Toewz. He was so happy and she kept us in the loop while out of the country with so many adorable pics. Melissa is a sweetheart, caring, smart and professional. She knows how and without a doubt love your pet the way they deserve. She also has a wonderful and large home which is always a bonus. Thanks Melissa. Toewz or our dog Ozzy will see you again soon enough Dave”
“I can't recommend Mario enough for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter! Mario watched my dog Dean for five days, and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. He sent me daily pictures and videos of Dean, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. Mario made sure Dean received his medication on time and gave him plenty of love and attention. I could tell that Dean was in good hands the whole time. Thank you, Mario, for your excellent care and professionalism. I will definitely be reaching out to you again in the future!”
“This is the second time that Amanda and her daughter watched Abby. They are wonderful with Abby and she is comfortable and happy with her staycation at Amanda’s. I would highly recommend her and will use her services again.”
“Scott and his family were amazing! They were able to help us with our Dazey last minute and took great care of her! She loved his family so much and misses them!”
“Marija is a fantastic dog sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Bear, while I was away. I loved receiving photos of him enjoying his walks, playing in her secure fenced yard, and making a new best friend with her dog. Bear came home happy and healthy—I will definitely be using Marija again!”
“Toby seemed like he had such wonderful time! Thank you so much Mary! She sent pics and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Mary was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pup while we were away. We are so grateful!!”

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.
Ekaterina took wonderful care of our cat for over a week. She sent frequent pictures & little videos which showed me Nelly was relaxed and content at her home. She is a sweet woman with a soft touch that cats will respond well to. I highly recommend Ekaterina for cat sitting and I definitely plan to use her again in the future. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,557 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Prospect Heights. About 91% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
