“I felt the care that our dog got from Katey was excellent. It was the first time we had boarded our dog who was a rescue dog and I was a little worried how she would react but everything was great. Katey sent a photo and a daily update so we were reassured that Dolly (our coonhound) was fine. I would highly recommend the dog boarding here.”
“Jorge and Susie took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as if she was their own. I will book them for any future trip and feel secure in knowing my baby will be in good hands ❤️❤️❤️”
“Tricia was awesome! Her dogs are so cute & you can tell she really loves animals as this is all she does so her main priority is your babies. We got so many texts while we were away which we thought was amazing. Knowing our babies were happy & doing good made us feel really good about leaving them with her. They loved her & she loved them too & my little Bella was super tired when we got her back and napping all night which was such a relief. We can’t wait to have them stay with her again and I’m sure they’ll be excited too!”
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”
“Beth is a wonderful, caring person for your pet. She treats them as her own which gives you peace of mind while you are away that your “baby” is being treated well and loved. I’ve taken my dog there several times and will continue to do so as long as she will let me. 💕”
About: Hello! I’m an animal lover from Chicago with a 5-year-old pup of my own, and I’d love to help care for your animals! I am extremely responsible and the most loving toward all furry family members. I make fast friends with all the ones I meet 😊 I believe exercise is essential for dogs and cats to thrive, so I’ll take your pup out on extra long walks and run around with the feather toy with your cats for as long as they want! I also have several years of experience with senior dogs, high-energy and reactive dogs, and those with special health needs. I’m also experienced with cats of all personalities as well as those with special health needs. And if you’re a bird lover like I am, I’m experienced with bird care as well! I’m so excited to meet you and your animal family members! I have a flexible work schedule, so with notice, I can assist with walks during weekdays. On weekends, I can be available for walking or visiting day or night! I am extremely respectful of others’ homes and leave it better than how I found it. I’ll take care to clean up after myself and your animals to take the stress off your plate.
“This was our first time booking with Christine and our two fur dogs loved her! She sent great pictures and updates which is always appreciated! Our dogs came home exhausted which is a good sign!”
About: I started working with dogs since I was 10 years old through 4-h dog training. Since aging out of 4-h I have been working at doggy daycare and boarding facilities. This gave me the skills to work with any breed and size of dogs. Im currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. They will have plenty of play time and down time. They will be individually let out to potty for easy monitoring and have individual play time. Extra cuddles during these times are a definite and maybe some extra treats too.
“Judy was incredible! She sent pictures everyday. We have never left our dog with anyone but family so we were super nervous. She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. We will be sure to use her again if needed!”
“Roberto and his family welcomed my dog to his family who are all dog lovers. He was well cared for and enjoyed his time with them. Would confidently recommend Roberto.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our senior frenchie, Duke. He had a great time and I had no doubt he was in great hands while we were out of town. Marta was quick to respond to messages and sent great pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
“Carissa was very sweet with my dogs, Charlie and Murphy. She sent pictures of my dogs being spoiled every day. I didn’t have any worries leaving them in her care. Hope to be a repeat customer!”
“Yvette was a fantastic sitter for Tuukka. She regularly updated me throughout his stay and made me and my pup feel completely comfortable. Would recommend her services to all on island.”
“Our dogs had an excellent stay with JoAnne. They were loved on and treated like part of the family. I truly felt like I’d left them in the caring hands of friends. She sent us several pictures of them throughout the week with reports of the fun they were having and didn’t seem to have any trouble with their weird quirks of barking at the tv or cowering at thunder. I would definitely book here again and recommend to all my friends with dogs.”

Derek has been fantastic to work with, so easy to communicate with and incredibly responsive. We left our 7 year old chocolate lab with him for a weekend out of town and he sent me lots of pictures and updates, which really put our mind at ease. My dog came home happy and clearly has a great time. Highly recommend!
Jessica was the perfect host for Atticus and very accommodating. We had a last minute work trip come up and she was willing to let us book lat minute. While in the trip I had to extend to another day and Jessica had no hesitation in allowing us to extend for an extra night! We are thankful for such a loving host and enjoyed the wonderful pictures through out his stay! Thank you for the amazing stay with Atticus.

There are 1,881 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Algonquin. About 92% of Algonquin 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.

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.
