“Bridget is amazing. Our dog hates to stay anywhere without us. She wont eat. She just lays around and mopes. We planned a 10 day vacation and needed someone that knew how to take care of anxious dogs. We could not believe our luck when we found Bridget. She brought Shelly into her home and treated her like one of her own. She sent us updates and pictures daily. It felt like we dropped Shelly off at doggy camp. She was comfortable the first day there. She ate, played with the other dogs, went for walks, watched tv, and got lots oflove. It was such a relief! We will definitely be repeat clients.”
“I’ve used so many Rovers and she is absolutely fantastic. Takes care of my pup as if she were my own, and has a way better back yard for them to run around in. Great about photo and video updates, too. Highly recommend.”
“They treated our fur baby like one of their own. Very responsive and provided updates on his day. I found them as our normal sitter was unavailable, but they will definitely see Leo again!”
“Magda was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! She shared tons of photos and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of time outside with Penny, taking her on walks and doing activities to keep her happy and engaged. Penny can definitely be a handful at times, but Magda was so patient, gentle, and kind with her. You can tell she truly loves what she does. We would recommend her to anyone.”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“We love Tami and her family! We have ZERO worries when Eddie “vacays” at her home. He always has the best time, Tami communicates regularly and Eddie is well exercised and cared for the whole time. Flexible…kind…professional. A top notch choice as far as we are concerned.”
“Sylvie cared for my dog, Milo, for 5 nights. She kept me updated throughout this time with adorable pictures and videos. All my concerns vanished when I could see Milo happily playing and eating his food. I was especially concerned that Milo wouldn’t eat while away from me but that didn’t turn out to be a problem with Sylvie!! I can’t say how much I appreciated Sylvie and will not hesitate to leave Milo in her care in the future.”
“Kurt Russell loves going to hang out with Alyssa and her family. She has been so great and we have no worries when we drop him off with her. She keeps us updated with pictures and messages. We really appreciate you. Thank you so much.”
“Julie and her family were wonderful with our boy Finley!! He had all of the same comforts as home and was very well taken care of. I will definitely bring Finley back!!”
“We booked with Ellie for a meet and greet and a 6 hr daycare experience! Our very shy beagle warmed up to her and her dogs on her first visit! Ellie kept us informed throughout the day and sent lots of pictures too!”
“Jen & Larry are just the best! We always feel so relaxed knowing our pups are in their hands while we’re away. Our kids love seeing the daily pics/updates they send to us too <3 We’re so lucky to have found them!”
“I feel like Kyle struck the jackpot when we found Renae for boarding! It was easy to arrange pick up and drop off and we were able to meet up beforehand so that Kyle could meet Renae's two dogs. Renae kept me posted with pictures and updates about how Kyle was doing. I'm a new dog owner and Kyle is young, so I didn't know how he'd adjust to a 2+ week stay with someone else, but he had a great time and was lucky to be able to find a new playmate in Renae's younger dog. I highly recommend Renae!”
“Our dog Rocky had a great time with Kristine and her adorable dog Blue. Kristine gave us updates about how Rocky is doing with pictures and video. Definitely recommend her and will use her service again. We appreciate her taking care of Rocky.”
“Enas was so kind! Brought my 2 boys, Ace and Bruno, over and they came back super tired! So I know their exercise needs were met! Her daughters are also very kind and seem very responsible as well! Enas also made sure to update me with pictures everyday! And let me know how everything went when I went to pick them up! Will definitely be rebooking for my next trip! Ace and Bruno were very well cared for!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Braidwood on Rover is $49.95 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 .

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.
100% of Braidwood 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 Braidwood 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 Braidwood 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 Braidwood.
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 Braidwood 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.
