“This whole experience has been just amazing. From the constant reassurance of videos and texts to the undeniable love for dogs is what made us so happy with the care we received for Milo. We were a little wary leaving our little guy for a couple of days, but we’re very surprised to learn he was having a better time there than he was at home. He made a lot of little friends and received so much love. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Angel was great with Ollie and did a great job with sending us updates and pics/videos of what Ollie was up to while we were away. Would recommend his services!”
“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!”
“Ruben was fantastic! We will definitely book again asap. He provided tons of updates on our dog, Ziggy, and made sure he felt comfortable. He was extremely flexible with our schedule and responsive! I am usually hesitant to leave Ziggy with new sitters but I knew right away that he was in great hands with Ruben. I’m sure he had a blast and looks forward to going back! Thank you Ruben!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter or boarder for our dog. And that means a lot because we are very picky when it comes to our dog. Kind, thorough, responsive, and actually cares about our dog!”
“Maria and her family were wonderful. They sent me constant updates and pictures of my dog playing with theirs. He came back happy, healthy, and energetic. If I need a sitter again, they will be at the top of the list of people I call.”
“Lorraine was amazing! I have two pups. I was nervous about my older dog because he can be grouchy with people. He loved her! She sent me pictures constantly that kept me feeling relaxed about both of my babies. She really is amazing with dogs.”
“Skipper had the best time with Katherine, Cory and the fam! She enjoyed playing with their dogs Brownie and Mocha so much she didn’t even want to come home after her stay! I received so many cute updates and pics and felt very calm knowing my baby was in great hands!”
“Kyla did an amazing job. She consistently sent photos and updated me on things regarding my pup. I would highly recommend and I plan on utilizing her again.”
“Barbara is AMAZING!! She is everything you could hope for in a person to entrust the care of your pet. She is extremely reliable, and takes her job very seriously, and does it with a very warm disposition. Our dog Lanie is older, and we wanted someone who would understand her needs. Barbara really delivered. She's like a dog whisperer. We received updates and pictures everyday, and Lanie was happy, well rested and given EXCELLENT care while staying with Barbara and Chewy. Her dog Chewy has a great personality too, and was a lovely companion for our dog to hang out with. She covered every aspect of Lanie's care with us beforehand in detail, and I have never been more at ease with leaving Lanie with her. We've had a lot of boarding experiences over the years, and Barbara is hands down, simply the BEST! We have already booked with her for another upcoming stay, and I am so happy to have found someone who is so dedicated and genuine. If I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would!”
“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 am very grateful. Akon spent 7 days with Michael and returned very happy and well cared for. He kept me updated every day by sending me photos and videos. Thank you for taking such good care of him.”
“Dayana did a great job! We were a bit nervous boarding our dog for the first time but they sent us many photos and videos showing how he was getting along and playing with other dogs, going for walks. It made us feel so much more at ease! Dayana is also very responsive and flexible with timing. Would definitely board with them again!”
“Diana and Scott were the perfect match for Kimi - who absolutely had a blast for the two weeks we were away. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing she was so well cared for, like Kimi was their own. Everyday updates, videos and photos made our extended absence manageable, and I will absolutely be booking them for future needs. You can be assured your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I’m so grateful.”
“Ashley was great! She sent lots of updates and helped reassure me that my little girl was in good hands. She was very considerate and only accepted additional bookings for dogs that she thought would get along well with my pup. Overall, I was very impressed with Ashley and would highly recommend!”

Katalina and her partner were extremely nurturing, kind, patient, and very intentional with our Milo! They kept communication throughout their time with him, sending me pictures and updates. I have had multiple families watch our little guy and I have never had such a wonderful experience. Thank you so much.
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.
Saying that Kyla is the best would be a complete understatement! I had a family vacation to attend and, at the last minute, was told I couldn’t bring my pet. That’s when I found Kyla. I had never left my dog with anyone before—especially overnight for several days—so I was incredibly nervous. From the moment I dropped my baby off, Kyla made me feel completely at ease. She sent me regular pictures and updates throughout my entire trip, which reassured me that my dog was happy, safe, and receiving the best care. I couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience. I’ll absolutely be booking with Kyla again in the future, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like family!
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!

FAQs for Boarding - Cicero
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cicero on Rover is $47.91 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 5,344 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.
