“Mariah was very attentive to Bella's needs. Bella felt comfortable and fit right into Mariah's home as if was her own. Mariah communicated with us on a regular basis. She sent videos and Pictures to keep us informed. She was definitely a 5 star sitter!!!”
“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Rolanda was amazing! She sent me frequent updates and her dog was very compatible with mine. She treated my fur baby like it was her own. I definitely will use her again!”
“Danielle was absolutely amazing with my dog Winston! She does such a great job sending updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay. Danielle is a really good communicator always making sure I know what’s going on as well as making sure she’s giving my dog the best care. She truly cared for my dog like he was her own. Danielle even made a cute little photo card of Winston and his new friends to go home with! She was the absolute best and I will definitely be using her again!”
“They are the grandparents of my two furry babies and they love them and always have a good time being there. The only people I’d trust. They are awesome people.”
About: I have both a cat and a dog. Recently moved out to steger/monee. I can't wait to meet some of your fuzzy friends and help out! -Sarah Just moved to Edgewater and available from Mondays-Friday and before 4pm on Weekends! Anywhere that I can commute via CTA to walk, sit, or feed your pet. I have 3 cats in my apartment, although I have previous experience with a family dog. I also have experience volunteering at PAWS animal shelter.
“Ericka was great! She was available for a last minute trip I had and saved me - she sent daily updates and photos and I am confident my dog and her had a great time. Would absolutely book again! :)”
“Iman was great with my dog. She is definitely a dog lover. My dog spent one night and the pictures which Iman provided showed that Honey was completely comfortable in Iman's home. I will absolutely request Iman's services again.”
About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“People in the Lincolnway/Tinley Park area, these are a great couple who love dogs. Big yard, friendly dogs to pal around with your dog, assurance by video. Will use again. Lucy gives five tail wags”
“This is perhaps my third or fourth time using Jesus for my dog Rex and I have been extremely satisfied. Animals generally show when they are happy being around certain people and Rex happily jumps to attention when he sees Jesus and his beautiful family. This stay was 6 days and I was really happy to receive pictures and see how happy Rex was spending time with this Sitter. If you are seeking the peace of mind that I have when leaving my dog with a Sitter then this is certainly the place you want to leave your pet. Jesus is clearly one of the Top Rated Sitters on this site.”
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter while we were away for six days. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to ensure it was a great fit, which immediately gave us confidence in her care. Throughout our vacation, she provided consistent communication with thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, allowing us to truly relax knowing our dogs were well cared for. When one of our dogs experienced a decrease in appetite, she promptly communicated with us and worked through solutions, which we greatly appreciated. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care for our dogs made our trip completely stress-free. We are very thankful to have found such a dedicated and involved sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
About: Hi! I’m a Veterinary student with experience in animal behavior, dog training, pet handling, and more. I’m passionate about providing a safe, loving, and stress free environment for pets in my home. My veterinary education helps me recognize health concerns, understand animal body language, and ensure every pet receives attentive, knowledgeable care. I will care for your pets with all the love in my heart, treating them as if they were my own and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved throughout their stay. 🐾❤️ As a Veterinary student, pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I am available to care for pets during both weekdays and weekends, and I can provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a secure apartment building with controlled access and a safe environment. There are several nearby parks and walking areas where your pet can enjoy regular exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time. I typically accept only one pet (or pets from the same family) at a time. I do not board pets from different households together, which helps prevent conflicts, anxiety, and unnecessary stress. This allows me to give each pet my full attention and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay.
“Wow! I am so thankful that Jennifer was able to watch my dogs this weekend. She is incredible! It is very clear she has a deep love for animals. She was so kind and gentle and understanding. She has a fenced yard so the dogs could run around and play. Her son was so amazing! He takes after his mom with his love for animals. I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed. I felt at ease knowing they were with someone so loving.”
“Leo and Mickey loved staying at Barbara's house. They said they felt right at home.( which may or may not be a good thing). They know if their human family goes away again they do not have to be afraid. If Barbara is home they are packing their things and going to her house!”
“Mercedes is my pups best friend. They know, that while in her care, they will be loved and cared for. This is their second visit with her and after only minutes of being back with her and her family, they knew where they were and settled right in. My pups love her and her family. I know that in her care, there’s no need to worry about them. She’s a kind and gentle soul who will take great care of your furry babies.”
“Kate is the best! I knew it was a match the first time I met her. My baby made new friends and had a great time at his "sleep over"😊 THANK YOU Kate for understanding my anxiety about leaving him with someone other than family.🥰”

We had a great experience with Kiana! She kept us updated with photos, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and comfortable during the stay. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Veronica was an amazing host to my dog. She provided updates and photos daily and was very timely with responses to my questions. When I picked up Test, I could tell he had a great time and was very much relaxed while there. Will definitely come back for the next trip and high recommend Veronica as an awesome doggy host.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richton Park on Rover is $37.45 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 4,543 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Richton Park. 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.
94% of Richton Park 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 Richton Park 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 Richton Park 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 Richton Park.
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 Richton Park 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.
