“Mike and Joanna came through in a pinch for us when our accommodations changed unexpectedly while traveling. Our dogs stayed with them for two nights and Joanna sent photos and updates every day. It was pretty much a spa vacation for them, with a pool and a ball pit and new dig friends, and couch snuggles at night. We know where our dogs will be staying from day one if we are ever back in Chicago!”
“Wayne was awesome and took such great care of my fur babe! He provided frequent pictures and updates that put me at ease while overseas! Will definitely rebook in the future. Thanks Wayne🙏🏻”
“Elizabeth and her soon took great care of our 3 dogs and were very loving. She provided an amazing care, I recommend her 100%. She kept us updated and shared with us pictures during their stay. I would definitely hire her again.”
“Incredible communication, and flexible when we had an emergency and had to leave ralphie for an extra night. Hope to board Ralph with Lorraine again soon! Thank you so much.”
“Heather ended up taking care of Dempsey an extra day after our flight back to Chicago was cancelled. She was quick to respond and helped make a stressful situation a little easier to manage. She took great care of Demps while we were out of town. Thank you!!”
“Janet is an excellent caregiver and did a wonderful job with our little Einstein! We have previously boarded him at kennels, and upon pickup he was usually a nervous wreck. We decided to give Rover a try, and I am so glad we did! Janet kept in touch with us and gave us updates throughout our trip, and I can tell she really cared for him like one of her own. He was happy as a clam at pickup, no timidness or just seeming exhausted. I would highly recommend her and would definitely have our boy stay with her again on future trips!”
“Ingrida is very friendly and very good with dogs. She is very responsive and sends good pictures of our dog. Nala, our 1yr old mini golden-doodle was well taken care of for five nights when we had to be out of town.”
“Kandyce was great with our dog and with us! She kept in touch and was responsive, while also being patient with our dog's idiosyncrasies. The dog loved playing with Kandyce's dogs, too. Highly recommend!”
“Susseth is a very caring loving person. I trusted her for taking good care of my precious husky fur babies and she was fantastic. She made sure to know their habits food and exercise, then she provided good care to match. My dogs are picky eaters and one is protective of her food. They both did great for the whole week. Susseth was easy to contact, and she provided daily pictures and videos of my dogs. Both are 3 year old huskies and can be a handful at times but Susseth easily became their friend and they benefitted from her loving care. Highly recommend using her to all dog parents.”
“Susan is responsive and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our pup and sent many updates, photos, and videos throughout her stay. Susan has a nice fenced in yard, lots of toys for the pups, and a sweet and caring personality. Highly recommend!”
“Lisa and her family was amazing! They treated my dog with a lot of love, and he definitely loves to spend time with them! Their kids are really lovely and played with with my dog too!”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Justine and Brett were amazing to work with. We were first time rover users and from the first message I sent they were great with communicating and setting up the booking. They were super friendly and welcoming. You can also be confident that with Justine’s background working with pets she knows what questions to ask to take the best care of your dog and they really do treat your dog like their own. One of my favorite parts was how they sent pictures of our dog playing and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and we will be booking again!”
“Jenny absolutely blew away our expectations as a dog sitter. She took my dog, Ginger, on long walks everyday at the park near her place, and even took the cutest pictures of him sleeping and playing every day. When Ginger wasn’t eating much, she went out of her way to get his favorite dog food to mix with his kibble. Jenny provided consistent updates throughout my vacation, so I did not worry at all about him at all. I’m definitely saving Jenny as a point of contact for any future trips. I would highly recommend her to anyone based on her experience with dogs and how well she has taken care of mine.”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Belle and Jerry are two of the most kind and caring people I have ever met. My two dogs absolutely love them! Belle is so communicative and my girls get tons of walks and cuddles. She caters to the dogs individual needs as I have a one year old and a fifteen year old. I’m so happy I found them as I know the girls are cared about and in good hands with Belles family.”
“Our pup had another great stay with Dez! We appreciate that Dez is always reliable, communicative, and takes great care of our dog. Our dog is an anxious pup but she’s always excited to see Dez!”

We had a wonderful experience with Janeth! She sent me daily photos and updates, which gave our family so much peace of mind while we were away. From the pictures, it was obvious how much love and attention our dog was getting—there were hugs, kisses, playtime outside, and a very happy pup in every photo. What really stood out was her flexibility and kindness when our return flight was cancelled and rebooked for the next day due to weather. She graciously cared for our dog an extra day without hesitation. She even provided her door code so we could pick him up at a time that worked with our delayed travel schedule. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we never had to worry while we were gone. We highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again!
My dog is scared of just about everything - and everyone - so leaving her with someone new made me nervous. On top of being scared of her shadow, she's a one-year-old pup... she has some endless energy! I felt at ease as I received updates and pictures throughout the stay and felt like my pup was in good hands. During a tornado warning, Melissa went above and beyond. My dog is terrified of stairs, and her family actually carried her down the stairs to the basement to keep her safe with them. Most importantly, my dog came home happy. I'm grateful for the care, patience, and kindness Melissa (and family) showed my girl. I would book with her again :-)
Our dog, Waffles, has been staying with Regan for over 5 years and he always has the best time! Regan is wonderful to work with and we know that Waffles is always well taken care of and having a great time when he’s there. She’s our go to anytime we can’t bring him on our adventures!
Holly and her family immediately welcomed Lincoln into their home and made sure he felt comfortable during his stay. Holly sent us lots of updates and made sure we knew how our boy was doing. Would highly recommend and Lincoln hopes he can visit again. He especially loved his playtime with Holly’s pups Layla and Piper☺️
Selene took wonderful care of our dog, Peanut! She sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Peanut was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her attentiveness and kindness, and we would absolutely trust her with Peanut again. Highly recommend!
Sandra was absolutely wonderful in taking care of Ellie! From our initial meeting to the final pickup, everything was seamless and stress-free. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and made sure Ellie was happy and comfortable throughout. We truly appreciate her care and attention. Thank you, Sandra—We will definitely use your service again!
I would highly recommend Danielle to take care of your pet. I was very nervous about boarding my dog, since I have never boarded a pet before. She was very accommodating to all of my dog’s specific needs. She also had a spacious home and a big beautiful backyard for my dog to enjoy. I believe she even spoiled my dog by letting my dog make herself at home on Daniel’s couch to sleep at night. Which I really appreciated Danielle is also great about sending pictures and lengthy updates. I would definitely board my dog with Danielle again as needed. I was able to enjoy my two week vacation, because I knew that my dog instantly liked Danielle and her home at our initial Meet and Greet. Like I said before, she is not only a nice person, but met all of my dog’s needs. Looking forward to boarding my dog again with Danielle in the future.
Zoe had great time with amazing family. I am so happy I was able to connect and find them through Rover. I was updated daily how Zoe was doing and also received pictures. We felt very comfortable to leave Zoe because we knew she will be well taken care of and loved. For future travels we will definitely reach out to them again.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Western Springs on Rover is $42.8 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 5,594 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Western Springs. About 90% of Western Springs 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.
