“Leslie did a great job with my Marley. Marley is a very anxious dog and he had a blast with Leslie. I will leave for my work trip in a couple weeks knowing that he is in good hands and being well cared for! 🤍”
“Miriam & Terrell were great. Definitely will book again! Daily pictures & updates were sent. My dog was very well taken care of. They had no problem giving my dog her medication on a daily basis.”
“Another wonderful stay with Jackie and her family! Our dog Ivy is treated like one of their own dogs and we appreciate that! We also love getting videos and pictures daily!”
“Jackie was so wonderful and very communicative. She sent multiple photos every day and my puppy was clearly super happy! My dog went on multiple walks per day and came home happy, healthy, and loved ❤️”
“Mera and her family gave my dog a wonderful and loving environment. She was responsive when I texted, and gave me updates with photos often. I look forward to having her watch my dog again in the future. She gave my mind at ease, knowing that my dog was in good hands.”
“I want to start by saying I’m no stranger to dog sitters. I’ve been in need for someone to watch my dog many of times and in the past, my sitters have all been pretty good. However, when it comes to Pallvi, I have to say she was absolutely exceptional!! Plenty of checkins thought the sitting, very understanding on pick up and drop off timing, and super competitive pricing! Easily one of the best sitters I’ve gone with this far and I’ll admit I don’t plan on using any other sitter besides her in the future. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!!! 10/10!!! 😊❤️💯”
“My multipoo stayed with Eric over the weekend. Eric sent a photo daily and was always quick to respond to questions. My dog returned home healthy and happy. I highly recommend Eric for boarding! Jan”
“Susan was absolutely amazing with Paganini! 🐾 She has a big backyard where he got to run and play all day, and she took him on long, happy walks too. Throughout the day, she sent me tons of adorable photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. Paganini came home happy, calm, and completely well-rested—a true sign he was loved and well cared for. She was also incredibly kind, communicative, and accommodating with our schedule, especially knowing we have a baby at home. On top of that, she made sure Paganini got his daily medication without any issues, which was such a relief. I honestly can’t recommend Susan enough—she treated Paganini like one of her own, and we feel so lucky to have found her!”
“We are so glad Mocha stayed at Keith’s house over the holidays because he was treated like “family”! Keith took the time to get to know Mocha’s needs and took excellent care of him. As Mocha gets older, we worry more about leaving him, so seeing pictures of him curled up on a lap let us know that he felt happy and safe! Keith was flexible and easy to communicate with. We hope Mocha will get the chance to stay with him again!”
“Danielle was amazing with our dog. Provided updates. Our dog has anxiety and doesn't do well in caged boardings. Danielle was very patient and took great care of her when we were away. 100% recommend and we'll use her again.”
“Peggy was wonderful to our little Oscar. She messaged multiple times a day as requested and sent pictures of the little guy. She also noticed him biting his paws due to allergies and alerted me right away. I was in an area with bad service and did not get the message right away so she went ahead and reached out to my vet and scheduled a time to go in because he had chewed his paw to the point where he was bleeding. By the time I found out she was already on top of it. She took him and brought him home with a cone and gave him medication as prescribed. She even followed up asking about him days later once we picked him up. You can just tell that Peggy is an animal lover. I will absolutely be booking Peggy again, i love the fact that she only takes one dog in at a time because you know the full attention is going to your animal. Thank you Peggy!”
“The only sitter I’ll ever leave my old boy with again 😍🐾👍 Kathleen is so genuinely warm… I now have an elderly dog with a lot of medication and pain issues and she took superb care of him as if he were her own!!!! I got tons of updates and pictures and I always felt that he was in the best care!! I love the fact that her and her husband work from home so they’re always home with the animals❤️❤️ I cannot say enough good things about Kathleen. We’ve been using her for years now and she has always come through for last second dates…. Simply the best thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do.❤️❤️”
“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!”
“Truly a great dog sitter and hospitality! On last minutes notice, i was able to contact Jill and she took in our Chocolate lab, Dexter, she made him feel right at home and eased any concerns we had while we did an overnight vacation. Thank you!”
“A great stay for our greyhound Happy. She is loved and well cared-for by Beatrice. Our second stay with Beatrice and it will not be our last. Happy was immediately comfortable when I dropped her off for this second stay - such a great sign that she is content and feels at home while with Beatrice.”
“Liz was a fantastic sitter! She sent us pictures daily and I knew our Parker was having her own mini vacation. She loved playing with their dog Luna and got plenty of love and snuggles.”
“As usual a great service! they helps us a lot. This time we use their boarding service because my wife was going to give birth. They were as always extremely kind and understanding with Lucas and Max's delivery and pick up times.”
“Again! Beyonka came thru and helped us with our furry family member. We are beyond grateful for her accommodations for our pet and speedy communication. As we’ve used her before to watch our dog we felt comfortable asking again! Highly recommended and very happy with her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Big Rock
Kimberly was great! She has an excellent rural location with lots of place for pets to roam around. She kept on updating and sending photos all the time. When we picked up our pet he looked really good and it showed that he had a good time with her. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Kimberly was so accommodating with Iris. We were staying at one of her camping spots (you can find her place on HipCamp) and had to attend a family event nearby that wasn't dog friendly. Kimberly not only took Iris in, but our pup got to hang with her dogs and get in some healthy playtime. She also has a nice little fenced in dog park on her property. Iris loved getting to check out all of the farm animals as well. We'll definitely be dropping our pup off again if we're in the area. Thanks, Kimberly! And Iris paw-thanks you as well!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Big Rock on Rover is $38.85 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,098 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Big Rock. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Big Rock 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 Big Rock 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 Big Rock 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 Big Rock.
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 Big Rock 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.
