“I had never boarded my little 13 year old dog. When I had my Meet and Greet with Eric, Mollie jumped up next to him and cuddled. I knew then that she picked Eric. I was gone for a week over the 4th of July and Eric took amazing care of her even with the fireworks. As far as I am concerned I will never leave her with anyone else when I need a sitter.”
“River enjoyed her stay again and the drop off pick up was super easy and Justine was ready to go. They gave us photos each and kept us up to date. We will be back again. River enjoyed being able to hangout with the kiddos as she's a social people loving dog.”
“Our dog Marty had a wonderful stay at Maria’s house. He was all smiles when we picked him up. I would recommend Maria to anyone who likes their dog to have fun interacting with other dogs.”
“Robyn is amazing! She engaged and played with Miles (probably better than we do) and communicated and shared videos and pictures every day to assure us that he was doing great. She even worked with him in some areas of opportunity. We were nervous to leave him but she made it so there was nothing to worry about. Truly a fantastic experience and highly recommend Robyn.”
“Pandora had such a great time! My American Bulldog can be a handful sometimes, but Danielle made her feel right at home. I got daily updates and photos, which really put me at ease while I was away. It was clear she was well cared for and loved during her stay. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Pallvi and her family are fantastic! This is our second time leaving our two dogs with them and the experience continues to be great. If you or someone you know is looking for a family to look after your furry friends, my wife and I cannot recommend Pallvi and her family enough.”
“Excellent hosts! The communication was top notch. I received daily updates with a photo of my dog. I was completely comfortable leaving my dog in their charge. My dog had a positive experience with Amanda and Anton. I definitely would book again with this pet loving family!”
“"Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arizona. I was very satisfied with the care she received and greatly appreciated the updates, feedback, and pictures while I was away. When I picked her up, she seemed so happy and content, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It's clear she was well cared for, and I know she'll be in great hands when I book with you again in the future. Thank you for everything!"”
“We boarded our 2 little guys with Rosarin for several nights and could tell they were very well cared for. We got updates via the app on their days felt relieved they were in excellent care. Would highly recommend!”
“Nina has a gentle way with dogs. Nina works with my dog, Nella when Nella boards with Nina. Nella is always a little better behaved after I pick her up. Nina shows a level of care and concerned that is unmatched. I feel comfortable that Nella is getting great care when I'm away. A wonderful place to board my dog.”
“This is our 3rd time working with Beth! Her and her family are so awesome with our dog!!! She is always sending pictures and her kids are always giving our guy love! We will continue to use Beth NO DOUBT when we need somewhere for Canon to go!”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of our 2.5 year old Mae again! They treated her like family and she had a great frolicking with their family dogs and visiting guest dogs. Very accommodating with some minor changes to our plans. Thank you!”
“I just love Ashley, as do my girls! I felt so at ease knowing how well my girls were being cared for. I have had a couple bad experiences with other sitters, but Ashley has revived my confidence in Rover. We are so happy to have found Ashley 😀”
“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“Kelly and her adorable family took such good care of my puppy. I had to travel for work. I had a challenging week and Kelly’s pictures of her cute kids loving on my dog really buoyed my spirits. Thank you for being McLovin’s replacement family for a week! Any dog would be lucky to come live with you guys!”
“Jackie was absolutely wonderful with my Border Collie, Ghost, while I was out of town in San Antonio. From the very first meet-and-greet, I was impressed by her setup—it was clear she had put a lot of thought into making dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I don’t like the idea of my dog being in a kennel for long stretches when I’m away, so it was refreshing to see the space Jackie created where Ghost could feel at home. Throughout his stay, Jackie sent me multiple daily updates with thorough notes and plenty of photos. That kind of communication is exactly what gives peace of mind when you’re away, and she nailed it. On top of that, Ghost was right at the start of a food transition when I dropped him off. Jackie kept me posted every day on how he was eating, and thanks to her attentiveness, he fully transitioned to the new food while under her care. Her family and kids were also great with Ghost—he’s high-energy, and it was clear he had good company and plenty of engagement during his stay. I also appreciated that Jackie communicated ahead of time about other dogs who might be boarding, which helped me feel even more comfortable about the environment Ghost would be in. All around, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Jackie gave Ghost the kind of care and attention I’d want for him, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Chicago
This is now our 4th time leaving our dog in Robynn's care. She takes excellent care of him and I never worry while he's with her. I appreciate the updates and videos Robynn shares daily and I can see that our dog is comfortable and enjoys the environment. Also, he is on several medications and I really appreciate Robynn's great care with administering his meds.
Sheila truly loves the dogs she watches! While she was watching my German shepherd someone was shooting off fireworks nearby. She let him lay on her so he could stay clam, he is over 100lbs! Will definitely book with her again, I could see through the pictures she sent that he had a blast and was very comfortable with her!

94% of West Chicago 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 West Chicago 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 West Chicago 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 West Chicago.
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 West Chicago 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.
