“We had to board our beloved Coco for the very first time, and naturally we were very nervous about leaving her with anyone. From the moment we met Merilu, she made us feel comfortable and reassured that Coco would be in good hands. Merilu and her family took exceptional care of Coco and truly treated her like one of their own. They happily accommodated all of our requests, including not using a cage and allowing Coco to sleep on the bed, which meant a lot to us since Coco has never been crated. Throughout Coco’s stay, we received regular updates with photos and videos every day, along with quick responses whenever we had questions. Seeing Coco happy, playful, and comfortable gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Coco up, she looked healthy, relaxed, and genuinely happy, which says everything about the love and care she received. It’s clear that Merilu has a true passion for animals and provides a safe, loving home rather than just a boarding service. We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care Coco received and wouldn’t hesitate to trust Merilu again. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with love, patience, and genuine affection, I highly recommend Merilu. Thank you for making Coco’s first boarding experience such a positive and stress-free one for both Coco and our family!”
“Excellent experience! Buffy loved Deana and came home happy and relaxed. I really appreciated the updates and the photos throughout the boarding and it's clear that Deana genuinely loved and cares for the dogs. High recommend and will definitely book again!”
“My anxious pup does well here - Shirley sends lots of photo updates and takes them on two nice walks every day. Shes great with special directions and I feel comfortable leaving my doggo with her. She’s my go to when I have to travel !”
“Anton took such good care of our dog Milton. He sent us numerous photos while we were on our trip. After a bad experience at a boarding kennel we couldn’t send our dog back to a kennel. We needed something different. Anton gave Milton some organic pumpkin in his food to help with his digestion and made sure he was properly hydrated. We are truly grateful. We will continue to take Milton to Anton when we go on trips. We don’t worry at all while we were gone. Anton kept Milton safe and hydrated.”
“Liam and his wife took great care of our dog for over a week. This was first time our dog had been away from us and first time using this site. Shadow was well taken care of. Almost to good because the first day we got her back she seemed to be missing her babysitters. I will definitely use Liam again without hesitation. We received pictures daily and Shadow didn’t even loose any weight. Most dogs normally don’t eat for few days after being left but she adjusted just fine.”
“Pratima took a good care of our boys and kept us updated with pictures and videos to know they’re under good hands. We missed our boys for the weekend but definitely happy to know they were doing great. Thank you so much Pratima!”
“Sally took care of our very nervous dog. She made him feel comfortable and let him get use to the new space. She sent videos, messages and photos each day so we knew how he was doing. It really was a smooth stay and reassuring to know he was comfortable and even made new friends.”
“Sharon and her husband made our Poppy feel at home. Sharon communicated well, provided timely responses sent photos and even a video. She was flexible with our drop off and pick up day and time as well. Poppy was relaxed and happy when we picked her up.”
“Thank you so much Chris!! My husky Zeke couldn’t have been happier when I picked him up. Chris provided great communication and updates throughout the stay, and always responded to any questions. Even with a short notice request, Chris was kind enough to accommodate boarding for Zeke. I will definitely be returning for future bookings!”
“Joseph and Mari were awesome! They provided updates and photos of Panda’s stay with them! Very friendly and communicative, I will absolutely use them for future boarding for Panda.”
“I was very concerned about going on a trip and leaving my almost 13 year old dachshund with someone. Awa had such great reviews and repeat business that I felt really good about leaving the care of my precious furbaby to her and her husband. Gumbo had a great time and I got pictures daily of her and I would recommend Awa to anyone. Thank you Awa!!!”
“We’re so thankful to Tracey for taking care of Ginger while we were away. It honestly made our trip so much more relaxing knowing Ginger was with someone so kind and caring. When we got back, Ginger was happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved. You can really tell Tracey treated her like her own. We appreciate her so much and would absolutely book with her again anytime 🐾💛”
“Bonnie was great with sending updates and pictures. Her children were great with Malu as well. I definitely would recommend her to any other pet parents! Thank you again Bonnie!”
“This was our second time booking with her, and we will definitely be booking again! She is an amazing caretaker and dog sitter for Leo. She always makes sure Leo is happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Bruce is such a great dog too and is always so welcoming and sweet with Leo, which makes me feel even more comfortable leaving him there. I also really appreciate the photo updates every day it’s so nice being able to see that Leo is happy and having a good time. She’s truly awesome with my dog, and I highly recommend her! ❤️🐾”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. I grew up with dogs, took care of family and friends dogs. Currently I have 2 well behaved pups. I’ll have plenty of time available playing and taking care of your pups. I’m available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. We can’t wait to meet you! I have two friendly dogs to keep your pup company. I can easily create if needed. We love to meet new pups and are very welcoming.
About: Married couple with two helpful teens and a really cool Siberian Husky. My background working with animals includes the Kauai Humane Society where I spent over a decade caring/training and assisting the Vet clinic. I worked independently doing in house visits and I also boarded pets in our home. I can administer meds and have experience with injections. I will not board more one dog unless it is part of your pack. Your pup or pups will be exclusively with Kano only. I work from home. Between my husband and I we are always home. We do not leave dogs outside unattended or alone. We would provide 24 hour care in our quiet gated neighborhood. Fenced yard with artificial grass for potty. We will always supervise your best friends and treat them like family. We always supervise Kano when he is outside. Walks are a must for our Husky so if your pup is willing Kano is a go.
“Jovelle was very sweet and accommodating to our two energetic and anxious dogs! She is very communicative, thoughtful, and amazing! We will definitely book with her again when we need a sitter.”
“I was needing a sitter for my fur babies and was blessed to find Pradeep, who was available and accommodating to my changing schedule. He took excellent care of my babies and sent me pictures with updates regularly. I never felt a cause for concern. Pradeep was very professional. His home provided a secure fenced backyard that’s very clean and comfortable with shaded areas for lots of exercise and play time space. I will definitely use Pradeep services again!!! Thank you Pradeep for allowing me to enjoy my vacation with peace of mind and receive my fur babies back well taken care of!!!”
“Punam has boarded our girls twice now and they receive fantastic and attentive care! We are so lucky to have Punam take care of them whenever we need - communication, extra attention, extra love all make it so we feel comfortable being away from them.”
“I can’t say enough great things!!! Woody had so much fun and our vacation was so relaxing knowing what great care he was in we have a mini dachshund that is spoiled, rotten, and only five months old he is with us all the time and it never been away. He did so well with Angelina I would trust her with any animal. If you’re thinking of leaving your baby, you will not be disappointed using Angie. Best decision I ever made. Woody made a friend and will definitely be back.”

Merilu is amazing. She is so super friendly and took really great care of our Princess. She made sure we were always updated and she even sent us pictures during our trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,717 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Collinsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Collinsville 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 Collinsville 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 Collinsville.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Collinsville. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Collinsville 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 CA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
