“Kent is really great with my dog and great at communicating. I am so happy I found such a great sitter for my dog. He is the best. Jager has made a new friend.”
“We continue to feel so so lucky to have Amberley care for our pup when we have to be away. She is communicative, kind and so considerate. We know Wrigley is in wonderful care and gets great exercise, plenty of love and time and space to play. 💙”
“Robert did a great job with our weimaraner Geddy. He gave him lots of good exercise and worked with Geddy’s quirks. Robert kept us updated throughout our trip. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely plan to use him in the future. Thanks for everything Robert.”
About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.
“Maricela was an amazing pet sitter. She was there on time when I went to drop off and pick my puppy up. She also send us videos during the stay without me asking, which was very nice to see how my dog was doing. I’m already planning to book her again.”
“This was my first-time using Rover for dog boarding and I loved it! I was always afraid to use apps for services like this but Kim put my mind at ease. We scheduled a meet & greet and Peanut and Kim's dog's got along great. I love having someone so local (same town) that I trust to watch my dog. Kim did a fantastic job keeping me updated with Peanut's status while I was away around the holidays. I will definitely use Kim again and would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs care for their dog.”
“Simba had a great time with Allis Im sure he will miss being over there. Allis is a great sitter, sends videos and pictures throughout stay and you can tell she truly cares about your pet as if her own. Definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in future.”
“Vicki took great care of our high maintenance French bulldog while we were gone for 9 days! She made us feel totally at ease and communicated with us regularly with photos and daily updates. Highly recommend!”
“Shirley was a kind, welcoming, and communicative sitter for our elderly dog, Reggie. She sent us many photos and updates throughout his stay, which my family thoroughly appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“From the moment I met Kelly, I sensed her genuine love for animals. Her welcoming environment assures not just my cat, but any pet, would feel right at home. Kelly’s passion for pet care is evident in her actions and the happiness of those she looks after. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking top-notch care for their pets!”
“Our dog always has a great time whenever she stays at Eileen's. Eileen is great at keeping us up to date on how the day is going and is always quick to respond whenever we message her. We always feel at peace Eileen watches our furry pup.”
“Carla was great with Bella & Speedy. I would definitely use her again. She provided updates during the visit, which put me at easy. She was flexible with the pick up & drop off times too which helped so much. The dogs loved her!”
“D’Artagnan did an amazing job with Groot! Our dog tends to get anxious when we're away and was unable to keep his food down the first day. D’Artagnan handled it perfectly - he kept us informed with regular updates and photos, and even provided probiotics to help settle his stomach. We felt so relieved knowing Groot was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend D’Artagnan for anyone looking for a thoughtful and attentive sitter!”
“We left our 5-month-old Sheepoo with this sitter for the first time while we were away on a weekend trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Communication was excellent from the start—the sitter was always quick to respond and kept us updated regularly. Most importantly, it was clear how much they genuinely cared for and loved our puppy, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Before his stay, our puppy was very hesitant during walks and would often get scared by passing cars. To our surprise, after spending time with this sitter, he became much more confident and comfortable on walks. We were amazed by the improvement. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our pup. We truly appreciate everything you did and would absolutely book with you again!”
“Anton and Amanda were wonderful with Griffy! He seemed to have a great time with them and their family! They sent pictures daily and updated me with how he was doing. They kept him safe and happy and were very easy to correspond with. Highly recommend!”
“So, I know she was awesome because I was waiting for my puppies/babies to be super excited and uncontrollable when they saw me and NOPE they were cool calm and collected because they really liked Jan. They felt at home with her and not sure what she did, but they are definitely more chill. I will only use Jan going forward if she'll have us because she's also reasonable price wise.”
“Patty did great with our pup's first overnight trip. She was extremely responsive and sent picture updates daily. We also appreciated Patty's understanding with some behaviors we're still training through.”
“Bonnie and her family were just wonderful with our 8 month old puppy for a week! Bonnie is super organized and experienced knowing the right questions and leaving you feeling super confident about your pup’s care. Loved the daily updates and pictures. Our boy was treated as part of their family ❤️”

Kasia is amazing!!! Great house, and the yard was awesome! Kasia is easy to work with, is happy to help make the stay everything it can be all the while being sensitive to our Murphy’s issues. She will be our go to going forward, we can’t say enough good things about her.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She was absolutely amazing with my three dogs! 🐶❤️ She is so sweet, kind, and loving, and you can immediately tell how much she genuinely loves animals. My dogs loved her too, which made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She took such great care of all three of them and treated them like they were her own. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my fur babies! 🐾💕 I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to take care of their pets!
Kelly took care of my dog and cat, and she was seriously the best. She kept us updated with check ins, updates, and photos. She was so patient with my cat and was actually able to get him to come out and be with her, which has never happened before. You could tell she truly cares about animals and treats them as her own. I felt like I was actually able to relax knowing my babies were so well taken care of. Very grateful to find her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wood Dale is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $66 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,375 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wood Dale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Wood Dale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wood Dale 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 Wood Dale.
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 Wood Dale 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.
