“This was our second time using Bridget. And from the moment we pulled into her driveway, we knew it was going to be good. Our dog knew where she was, and was so excited to see her friends, that she was not the least bit upset about us leaving her there. I really think our dog views them as her second family.”
“Eddie always has the best time with Tami and her family! He comes home happy and shows so much excitement the next time we head their way as we are driving to their home. Best choice!!”
“My stella had a nice time staying with them. I received text each day telling me how the night went. Even when I came to pick her up they were on a walk with her. I will use there service again.”
“Karen was great with our dogs Bella and Brandy! She was very friendly and responsive and sent us lots of updates and pictures during our vacation! We will definitely use Karen again for future trips!”
“Michelle and Christy make me feel so comfortable about our dogs wellbeing while we’re out of town. They are great communicators and let you know what’s happening at home. I have used them many times and will continue to do so in the future.”
“Renae was very flexible with my pick-up and drop-off times and is very knowledgeable! Rex had a great time playing with Renae's dogs and I could tell he really enjoyed his weekend. I also appreciated all the time she spent with him at the park!”
“Above and beyond care. My family and I went out of state for a vacation. Samantha sent photos of my pup and gave updates frequently. Very kind and flexible. Would definitely book again!”
“I will definitely rebook Robyn in the future and felt very comfortable with my baby boy in her care! She sent updates and pictures and videos any time I asked and always responded to all my messages pretty instantly. Biggie gave her a giant hug and kiss goodbye when I picked him up. Thank you, Robyn! 🐾🖤”
“Julie and her family were kind and welcoming. They took care of Dash as their own and gave us the comfort of knowing he was going to be in great hands. I can’t thank Julie enough for keeping us updated with posts and pictures and taking great care of our baby while we were gone!”
“Pat did her usual fantastic job sitting our two dogs during our 10-day vacation. Our boys are very different - one young and boisterous, the other senior and laid back - and Pat gives each one of them the care and attention they need. Pat also does such a great job keeping us updated with pictures and comments throughout the booking. It’s so reassuring to know that they’re in such good hands!”
“Thank you so much! This was my first time leaving Dallas with anyone who wasn’t family! Kathleen was happy to let me meet her prior to booking which helped ease my mind. Throughout his stay she kept me updated and sent me pictures! I am so so thankful!”
“La Toya was very responsive and accommodating. I had to book Rover boarding at the last minute, and she responded quickly and accepted the booking. She regularly shared pictures and videos and kept me updated on how my pet was doing throughout the stay. I’m very grateful to have found her and would definitely recommend her!”
“Ana is the BEST. She accepted to take care of Jack on short notice. From the moment we arrived at her home I felt at ease and welcomed. Her attention to detail is amazing (I guess the engineer in her). I had mentioned how Jack loves walks so she made sure she walked him and gave him all the time he needed to sniff. I am very happy we found Ana and Jack looks forward to spending time with her soon.”
“Katie and her family took great care of my pup. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. According to Katie he got along really well with her kids and enjoyed their walks. I will definitely take him to stay with them again, highly recommended!!”

No additional holiday fee applies. I work for a local school district from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM, and my workplace is only about 8 minutes from my home. During my lunch break at 11:45 AM, I am able to come home to check on your pet and provide a potty break and some attention. Because I work for a school district, I am home on weekends, holidays, school breaks, and throughout the summer, giving me a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. While I am at work, my mother is also available to assist with your pet as needed, so your dog will always have someone available to provide care and attention. My schedule allows me to create a dependable routine while still giving your pet plenty of companionship, exercise, potty breaks, and individualized attention throughout the day. My dog follows a consistent routine with daily feedings, Three walks, and regular outdoor play and potty breaks. He’s a friendly, 3-year-old who loves having other dogs to play with. Pets in my home are treated like family, allowed on furniture and welcome to sleep in my bed if that’s your preference. I’m happy to match your pet’s routine and comfort level.
“Priscilla was amazing and had such a positive energy. Very responsive and kept us updated throughout whiskeys stay! Took Whiskey for a walk and had lots of play time in their backyard. Will definitely recommend and hope to book her again in the future!”
“I cannot recommend Kelly and her family enough! They took exceptional care of my Goldendoodle, Biscuit, while I was on holiday. This was Biscuit’s first time away from me, and as a pup, I was a little nervous about how he would adjust. However, Kelly’s warm and welcoming nature immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated, making sure I knew he was happy and well cared for. It’s clear that she and her family truly love dogs, and their kindness and attentiveness made all the difference. Biscuit came back happy, healthy, and well-loved. Kelly and her family will absolutely be my go-to for pet care moving forward. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your furry family member, I highly recommend Kelly!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Coal City is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $55 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Coal City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Coal City home-away-from-home, 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 Coal City.
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 Coal City 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 , 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 .
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.
