“I love the attentiveness to all the fur babies and keeping them on a schedule - Katie and Teddy were playing with the others fur babies which is wonderful. These guys are my go-to boarders from this day forward 😊”
“Maria is the absolute best! We have worked with Maria a few times and she is our favorite resource for boarding. She is outstanding with our 2 dogs. One of my boys is a senior and requires gentle care. Maria goes above and beyond to meet the needs of my boy. She is so communicative and cordial. Truly the gold standard!”
“Susan is the best! Richie loves staying at her house. Susan is great at keeping Richie’s routine and giving him his medicine. She also has been flexible when I’ve needed it. I also appreciate the cute pics and daily updates. I highly recommend Susan to take care of your pup!”
“Barbara was a great caretaker for my elderly dog. She handled his medical and emotional needs with care and compassion. I can't leave out her charming assistant, Chewy - between the two of them, Oscar felt welcome and settled in nicely. If he could type, he'd leave a great review, too. I would absolutely book with Barbara again, and would recommend her, especially if your dog needs a little extra nurturing.”
“I cannot recommend Bailey enough! I was out of the country for a week, with little to no signal, and Bailey still managed to keep me updated as much as she could. My dog, Leo, wasn't eating alot in the beginning and Bailey did everything she could to get him eat and gave him a bath or two after rolling he rolled in poop lol. It was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I came across her profile! Also, it was a last minute booking and she was able to accept Leo. Thank you, Bailey, for taking care of Leo as if he was your own pup. I know he misses you! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“So thankful for Kyla & Barbara (her mom) for taking care of Drogo! Drogo’s very happy. They have updates with photos & videos everyday. They are very sweet & accommodating. We even did a video call because our daughter missed Drogo so much! We’ll definitely book them again when we visit the area. ❤️?”
“Angel took great care of Bean while we were gone for our extended vacation. He was very flexible on dates/times and communicative about how my dog Bean was doing while away.”
“Lorraine has taken care of our 2 dogs multiple times now and is fantastic! She takes such great care of them and is in constant contact with pics and updates so we can be away and have no worries.”
“Kae is amazing ! She has extensive knowledge of caring for multiple breeds of dogs. She did well caring for my Pitbull; he enjoyed her spacious back yard. She also sent me a bunch of cute pictures of him enjoying his stay. Will rebook in the future”
“This was the second time Bennie stayed with Dayana. She is so great about communicating with me - sending lots of photos and videos. Bennie came home happy and healthy, and I love being able to relax knowing that he is being well taken care of. I will be booking Dayana again the next time Bennie needs boarding!”
“I absolutely love this sitter! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and exhausted. She got sick on this last visit and they were very communicative and followed up after to make sure Rylee was okay. All good things to say!!!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog, Zevs, was in such good hands. The level of care, attention, and genuine love he received was truly beyond our expectations. Throughout the entire stay, we received constant updates — photos, and little notes about how Zevs was doing each day. It meant so much to us to see him happy, relaxed, and having fun with the other dogs. It was obvious that he was not only well cared for but also genuinely enjoyed his time there. Zevs looked completely comfortable and settled, which says everything about the warm, calm, and loving environment he was in. We are incredibly grateful for the amazing communication, care, and effort. We’ll definitely be bringing Zevs back again — and recommending this sitter to everyone we know! Thank you for making our time away so much easier knowing our boy was safe, happy, and loved.”
“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!”
“Ashley went above & beyond watching my dog, Pippa. She was so attentive, communicative, personable, and a joy to talk to. I would highly suggest her to watch your fur baby! Thank you Ashley!!!”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“Great communication and did amazing with our anxious doggie. It was hard to predict our dog’s anxiety level as she had never been away from us for so long, but they really made it work. Grateful for their service”
“I was confident that my dog was in good hands with Christine! She sent me many adorable photos every day so I could see that he was well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Christine!”
“I had the pleasure of hiring Luciene as a dog sitter for my dog, a Chorkie, who can be quite tentative with strangers. Luciene was incredibly patient, allowing her to adjust at her own pace. She maintained great communication throughout, sending regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It’s clear she cares about the pets she watches and takes the time to ensure they’re comfortable. I would highly recommend Luciene to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive dog sitter!”
“We were so thankful to find Nina over the holidays after several other options were fully booked. Our dogs warmed up to Nina and her boyfriend immediately and felt right at home. Nina was awesome in keeping me updated daily and making me aware of any odd behaviors. She was extremely responsive, considerate, and amazing to work with. We even ended up extending their stay midway through given such a good experience. Can't wait to book with Nina again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cicero
Michael and Joanna took excellent care of our pets while we were on vacation. Our dog Georgie has a special diet and needs two insulin shots a day, and they handled his feeding and meds routine exactly as we hoped. He also got plenty of much‑needed canine companionship during his stay, which helps keep up his energy as a senior pooch. Our cat Sheba had her own comfortable quarters, and everything was well-organized with the pets’ comfort in mind. They also sent regular pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. Great sitters and a great Rover experience all around!
This was my first time having my dog stay with anyone not family. He immediately got along with Robert and was not anxious. When I picked him up, still upbeat attitude and no signs of distress. I could even hear him barking when I was walking towards the door on pickup day, which means he already considered Robert's place like home and was scaring off strangers 👍🏾. Robert was really easy to talk and coordinate with. He sent me photos if requested. He took the necessary precautions we discussed for my dog-aggressive dog, and didn't seem uncomfortable at any point.
Carolina is great with Zeke! She was able to take him for the week and provided wonderful updates. She gave him tons of playtime, walks, and he even ate normally (he usually does a hunger strike when he boards). So Zeke is very comfortable with her in her home & she has another Min Pin Zeke gets along with! Thanks to her for all her help and care for our furry child!
Sassy enjoyed her stay with Luciano & Luciene. They were very communicative and responsive to my questions. They also shared photos and videos to keep me informed on how things were going with Sassy during boarding. I will definitely be using them again and will recommend them!
Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
We left our tiny (3.5 lbs) Chihuahua with Michelle and Otavio while we went to Japan for over a month. As soon as we left, he developed an ear infection. Michelle reached out to me right away to let us know. She made an appointment with our regular vet, took him to her (even though she is an hour away), and then gave him his medication for seven days. This is our third time having Michelle and Otavio watch Emerson. They’ve always taken such good care of him, I was not worried at all. The way they addressed this health issue was so impressive, I definitely hope to keep working with them in the future!
Alicia, was an outstanding host for our pups.she met us at a park before booking to get to know the dogs and had me over to her place so I could see where they would stay. I have two bigger dogs and one is a senior. She gave meds no problem. One of the pups was feeling sick from the extreme heat. She was quick to switch to a mild diet to keep him comfortable. She updated daily with photos and videos of how they were doing. I am not sure that you will find a more conscientious, loving, and communicative pet sitter. She was amazing.
I left my baby puppy with Jasmin and her husband for a week, and they were absolutely amazing. They kept in contact the whole time, and updated me with occasional pictures and videos. She’s so nice, and after our first meeting I was completely comfortable leaving my little puppy in her care. It’s always been incredibly important that my dogs receive adequate attention and care, and I know she did the absolute most when it comes to my Moonpie. I’d definitely book again.
Thank you so much, Esmirna, for taking such great care of Nadia! I was nervous about boarding her because I had never boarded a dog before, but Esmirna made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She was attentive and kind throughout Nadia’s stay. The updates and communication gave me peace of mind and helped ease my anxiety. It is clear that Esmirna is an animal lover and truly cares about every pet in her care. She treats them as if they were her own, and that made all the difference for me. Nadia had an absolute blast! She got plenty of playtime, made new friends, and even got to meet some cats. It was wonderful knowing she was having such a great time while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. I would absolutely trust Esmirna with Nadia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and loving sitter. Thank you again, Esmirna, for loving Nadia like your own! 🐾🩷
Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!
Sam was great with our two dogs, Lucy and Daisy, over a long weekend. I’m always a bit nervous leaving them because Lucy has specific medical needs, but Sam was very accommodating with her special feeding schedule and medications. Communication was great and they came home happy and well-cared for. We are glad we found Sam and will definitely book again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cicero on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,200 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cicero. 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 Cicero 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 Cicero 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 Cicero 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 Cicero.
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 Cicero 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.
