“Fantastic dog sitter! Took great care of our dogs and kept us updated with regular messages and photos throughout their stay. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Where do I even begin?! Honestly. I’ve read that they are “GOD SENDS” and it is true. They are truly some of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met. From the moment they walked in, my puppy was instantly comfortable with them (which never happens that fast!). You can just feel how much they genuinely love animals. They didn’t just take care of my puppy — they spoiled them with love, attention, and so much patience. I got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages that made me smile every time. It was such a relief knowing my little one was being cared for by someone so warm and trustworthy. And the sweetest touch? They even brought special keepsakes as a little surprise — it was so thoughtful and showed how much heart they put into what they do. My puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly adored. I couldn’t recommend them all more. They’re responsible, compassionate, and truly have the biggest heart. If you’re lucky enough to have them take care of your dog, you can rest easy knowing your pup is in the very best hands. 🐶💛 I will baked my sweet, but crazy pup there again and again!!!!”
“Bailey is a caring, knowledgeable and experienced pet owner and caretaker. Freddy was well-cared for and I was sent several photos during the day to let me know how he was doing. Bailey was sensitive in incorporating Freddy into her pack of two dogs. I felt very comfortable and confident that Freddy was well cared for. Thank you!”
“Thank you again Kayla for having my Lady girl for the weekend! Kayla does a great job caring for my pup and keeping me in the loop on how she is doing. I never have to worry about Lady being in good hands.”
“John did a great job with our 125lb Bernese Mtn Dog, Georgia. From the pictures we received every day, it was clear Georgia was getting a lot of love and attention. She had a fenced in back yard and a very friendly playmate. We definitely plan to use John again!”
“Ruben is great with our dog. Whenever we need a dog sitter, we are always comfortable with leaving Kodak with Ruben. He takes very good care of our furry animal. Kodak is always excited to see Ruben and have play dates with the other dogs.”
“Maria was the best and took care of baby boy. I felt at peace and enjoyed my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She provided photos and videos. I will definitely book again.”
“If you are feeling uneasy about booking a person to care for your dog, look no further! Dayana is the absolute best and took phenomenal care of both my dogs. She kept me updated by sending videos and pictures. My dogs had the best time. She even did a cute photo shoot with my dogs. She was very attentive and loving to my dogs. Don’t think twice and book her! I’ll be selecting her for my upcoming trips.”
“Khala is amazing! Super professional and dogs love her. This was my first time using Rover. I wasn’t sure about what to do and Khala was helpful in guiding me. She met my pup a few days before and let him get familiar. He was actually excited to go back when I had to drop him off. He had an awesome weekend and Khala sent plenty of pictures. I’m so happy I found somebody this awesome on the first try.”
“My dog Quigley had an amazing weekend with Diana and Scott. They took him to lots of fun places and we’re sure to update me every day! They were very professional and I look forward to using them for my pet care needs in the future!”
“Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!”
“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”
“Ashely was amazing! Duncan had a great time, and Ashley was excellent at communicating throughout the stay. She has a ton of experience boarding dogs, so pretty much any situation or issue specific to our dog's care, she was able to handle no problem. Would definitely recommend and will use her again for future boarding stays for our dog!”
“Shirley was absolutely amazing with our older pup! He had an amazing time. Shirley went above and beyond to make sure our pups needs were met and that he was happy. She sent pictures and videos and gave us updates regularly. Shirley was the best! Would use her again and would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Lorraine helped us with our dogs over the weekend and was fantastic! She replied right away when we were booking and provided us with pictures and updates through the dogs stay. Her place was great and had a fenced in yard. She was very attentive to our dogs needs and had them ready to go at pick up. We will definitely have our dogs stay with Lorraine again.”
“We love Barbara and Chewy!! So incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and sweet! We truly trust her with our dog, and can't say enough good things about how amazing she is! Highly recommended!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cicero
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I was so nervous but Michael and Joana assured me they had experience with dogs with separation anxiety. The pictures and updates they sent me helped reassure me that Lucky was in good hands. I will 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!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about my pet sitter! She stepped in very last minute on Christmas Day, and I am beyond grateful that she did. She was truly amazing from start to finish. She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, letting me know exactly how my dog was doing. She showed up on time for feedings, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was relaxed and comfortable. Seeing how calm and happy he was gave me such peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and that means everything. I would 100% rebook her without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
We recently boarded our dog Floyd and had an amazing experience. Jasmin went above and beyond. We received daily pictures and videos, and she communicated everything related to Floyd so we always felt at ease. It was clear he was well taken care of and comfortable the entire time. We would absolutely recommend Jasmin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog boarding provider, and we will definitely board with her again. 🐾

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Cicero
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 5,454 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.
94% 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.
