“There are not enough kind things I can say about Jackie, she took incredible care of my fur baby. My mom unexpectedly passed away and I needed to leave town on very short notice for a week. I had never used Rover before or boarded her for more than one night in the 10 years I’ve had her. I had extreme anxiety about leaving her with someone else, especially during such a vulnerable time. Jackie took the best care of her, and when I say best, I truly mean the best! Nala also has anxiety when away from me and in only one day being away I was getting pictures of her with a huge smile on her face! Jackie and her family treated Nala like she was apart of their family, and gave her lots of cuddle time too 🥰. They knew she was anxious too and did everything they could to make her comfortable. Jackie constantly stayed in contact with me with messages on how she was doing and lots of photos and videos. In 10 years, Jackie was the first person I trusted with my baby and I’m so happy I did. It allowed me to take the time I needed and gave me the piece of mind knowing my baby was being cared for as best as possible. I feel so grateful to have found her, I never would have been able to get out of town if I hadn’t. I couldn’t recommend her more if you’re looking for someone who takes just as good of care of your fur baby as you do ❤️.”
“Kimberly was great to work with. She was very accommodating and worked with us even when our schedule changed. She sent pictures of Bella and communication was great the entire time. Bella looked very happy and relaxed the entire stay!”
“Jackie and her family were amazing. Our 2 kitties had so much fun and acclimated very quickly to their home. The kids played with the cats, so they got lots of affection and attention. Jackie is a great communicator before and during our trip and she sent photos along the way which gave us peace of mind. I'll definitely go back to Jackie for any pet sitting needs!”
“Great dog boarder! Our dog typically gets stressed being away from home, but he had a great time & came home happy as could be 😊 She provided updates & photos throughout his stay too.”
“Eric is a great pet sitter. As soon as I met him and saw his house and yard, I just felt so calm. I knew he would take good care of my dog. She did have a bad first night but Eric took care of it with aplomb and empathy. I highly recommend Eric.”
“All good! Thank you for taking care of Steely, our quirky and a bit anxious boy. He hung out with Danielle and a good-natured golden doodle. Sounds like it was a perfect pairing that calmed him down and brought out his playful side. Thanks for everything, Danielle!”
“Morgan was awesome!! Communicated clearly, posted photos, and listened to/understood my specific requests with my pup’s personal needs. If you’re looking for someone that is reliable, responsible, and most importantly - trustworthy. You should reach out to Morgan!! Thank you again for taking care of Oakley while I was out of the country. I’ll absolutely be coming back again in the future!”
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“Robynn is just amazing! She is very sweet and cared for my dog so well. Robynn sends many updates and really wants the pets to be comfortable. My family COMPLETELY trusts her in caring for our fur baby. Thank you Robynn!!!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“We could not have imagined anyone better than Mimi and Terrell to have watched our sweet Nico. They truly treat their pups as family and extended that to ours. Throughout the week we received constant updates via photo and video and could tell that Nico felt right at home and loved being there so much. We will choose them anytime we need someone to watch our pup because we know he will be safe and loved there always.”
“Jill was great! Easy to communicate with and sent us pictures while he was there. Our dog was well taken care of and had a great stay in her home. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Shauna and Peter took such wonderful care of our dog Gracie. Not only did they follow our instructions for her basic care, such as food, medications, daily walks and play, but the whole family gave her so much love and attention. She is a very affectionate dog and they treated her as if she was their own. We were on a long trip overseas and Shauna’s daily communication and photos gave us such a peace of mind that our sweet pup was doing just fine. We feel so blessed to have found them and can not thank them enough for the perfect care they gave Gracie! We highly recommend Shauna and Peter to care for your dog. They are the best!”
“Shalyn, Joseph and their family were awesome with our Jazzi and Lady! Sadie, their dog is super friendly and easy going. They all got a long great! The kids pampered our fur babies and we're so gentle with them. Fenced in yard and plenty of room to run. They walked them regularly and updates were super. We are lucky to have found them here on Rover. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tintin while I was away. Knowing that they were in your hands gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy a truly worry-free vacation. I really appreciate the updates, the kindness, and the attention you gave—it’s clear you treat pets like family. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring. Thank you again for everything!”
“Great communication from Ashley! I received pictures and videos and continual love from afar about my sweet boy. Huge yard and a great home for any doggie. Excited to have Bowie hosted there again, highly recommended! Great experience!”
“Selena did an amazing job and made the whole experience feel effortless. My pup had the best time ever and even better was Selena was incredible about updating me with pictures and videos throughout it all. Selena and her pups were great in welcoming my boy into their home, I could tell my dog was bummed when his stay ended. I would definitely rebook and encourage anyone looking for someone they can trust to take of their pets to look no further”
“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”
“Amazing dog sitter! She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog during his stay and took him on some really nice walks. He seemed really happy when I picked him up. Definitely recommend!”
“This was our first time our Goldendoodle (80lbs) stayed with her and her dog. They played well and she took great care of him. We appreciate Niratcha sending us daily pictures in the morning and night to see how Kipper was doing. Happy with her and we just rebooked with her. Thank you.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Elburn on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 2,321 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Elburn. 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.
92% of Elburn 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 Elburn 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 Elburn 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 Elburn.
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 Elburn 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.
