“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!”
“Linda was amazing. We were nervous leaving our dog with someone other than family for the first time and she made everything stress-free. Our puppy had a blast and settled in amazing all weekend which is a testament to Linda! I highly recommend Linda for all services!”
“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”
“My dog was so calm after I picked him up boarding with Kyla. Energetically, I could tell that he was very well taken care of with her - no stress, no anxiety, just peace. TY KYLA!!!”
About: I have had the privilege of loving and caring for dog(s) since I was 5 years old. I have raised dogs since they were 6 week old puppies until their final days. I am organized with medication distribution if needed and can follow any cute quirks your baby may need to have that extra attention to detail for them to feel safe and loved. I work full time Monday to Friday from 8 am-4:30 pm. I am available evening hours during the work week and all day on weekends! I have a 3 year old Shetland Sheepdog named Bowie. His brother, Milo, passed away last year, who was my baby since he was 6 weeks old. I would love to take your dog for walks, feed, play, and spend time with your companion. I believe in positive reinforcement for teaching dogs tricks and behavior training.
“Ivy had the best time with Mary! She felt right home with the dog toys she has already there, the walks, and getting to look out the window. Mary was communicative and prompt and we will keep Mary on our short list for the future when we need a dog sitter!”
“Took great care of my dog and provided daily updates. Was very flexible with instructions for taking care of my dog. I highly recommend and would reach out to him again for future dog sitting needs.”
“Judith has taken great care of Frida overnight many times. She was a lifesaver when we had a death in the family and had to leave town last minute. It’s great to know that Frida is take care of.”
“My dogs had a blast with Eniya! She was very responsive, professional, and accommodating to my last minute request. My energetic dogs came home happy and ready to take a nap. I will definitely book again and wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone else.”
“We were very nervous to leave our dog with someone for the first time. Ingrida was kind and very receptive to Millie's needs. Her yard was secure and we felt confident our dog was safe. We also loved getting pictures of her stay.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of hiring Emily to take care of Mel, my beloved dog, while I was away. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily updates during my trip, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention provided. Emily took the time to understand Mel's routine, preferences, and any quirks that might need special attention. It was evident that they genuinely love dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs. Every day, I received updates and photos that put my mind at ease, showcasing how happy and comfortable my pup was in their care. Not only did Emily provide regular meals and exercise, but they also engaged in fun activities and even took Mel on walks to the river walk. I could tell that my dog was getting plenty of love and attention, which is so important when you're away from home. Upon my return, Mel seemed relaxed and happy, which reassured me that I made the right choice by entrusting Emily with their care. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. They exceeded my expectations and truly treated Mel as if they were their own. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs! Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding service!”
“Everything went very well. Lucy seemed happy and well taken care of. Malchom, Nicole and kids do a great job letting Lucy be part of the family. I’m sure Lucy enjoys being with the children. Would definitely keep using their services.”
“Ashley was great - responsive, organized and sent frequent updates as to how our pup was doing with lots of pictures and videos. We’ve used her twice over the last two weeks and I’m sure we’ll call her again since I know our dog was in good hands.”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“Lorraine was amazing with my pup-achinos. I have two dogs, one is a surrender and one is a rescue. After having some bad experiences with past sitters and boarding, I was starting to settle for having the Vet Kennel them while I was away. I love my dogs and sometimes I want people to love them the way I do, and she DEFINATLEY does! Lorraine is a natural care giver and has a great calm demeanor. They took to her right away, even my rescue who is very shy and is afraid of the washing machine. Lorraine is very attentive to both of them and their separate needs, sent pictures to me the whole time I was away and I never had to ask. They always look happy and comfortable, able to hang out on her back deck which they LOVE. Outside time is their favorite!! She did walks with them, too! I felt so comfortable to have them with her, she is very responsible, flexible, and responsive! So grateful to have met her.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“I really appreciate Rae taking my pup on such short notice. She was a great communicator throughout the process & made me feel comfortable about boarding my dog with her. Highly recommend & will look to book with Rae again in the future!”

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 :-)
Belle was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the care she provided. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of my dog's routine. While I was away, Belle kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Belle went above and beyond to make sure my pet received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. It's not easy to find someone you can fully trust with a beloved pet, but Belle exceeded all expectations. I returned home to a relaxed, happy dog and felt confident that my pet had been in the best possible hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Belle to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional dog sitter.
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.
We had a great experience with Chloe. She and her boyfriend took great care of our little boy during our trip. Communications were easy. They are very detailed and took the time to learn about our boy’s habits & likes/dislikes to make sure he has a comfortable stay. We would definitely have them watch our boy again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
