“Her performance on watching my dog was great. The updates, and pictures of my dog during her stay was right on time. The amenities and her house were the right thing. I would use her again, and again.”
“One thousand percent would recommend!! They clearly spent time and care ensuring our dogs were 100% comfortable and cared for, and they gave us consistent updates on how they were doing the entire week we were gone. Absolutely will rebook in the future!”
“Juan and Kristina took great care of our pup! We got pictures every day and other updates as well. This was our first time using Rover and they made it a great experience!”
“Jessica and her husband were wonderful! My two poms came home healthy and happy. I loved that they had other pups to play with, a yard with supervision, and a bed to sleep in while I was away. Jessica was wonderful about sending multiple photo and text updates to let me know my babies were enjoying themseles. Thanks so much, definitely will be in touch again!”
“Lilia is absolutely amazing with Archie! Every time we drop him off, he is so excited to see her and clearly remembers how much fun he has in her care. He doesn't even look back at us when we leave, which gives us total peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands. He always has a blast playing with the other dogs and comes home happy. We couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Miho is so good with Bailey. He clearly likes her, and he's not fast to trust and like people. She is very communicative and trustworthy. She is good at building a relationship with Bailey and meeting his needs beyond the basics of food and water.”
“Could not be happier with A&E looking after Pooka. Scheduling has been so easy with clear communication and prompt pick-up/drop off and it really takes a lot of stress off of Me because I work a lot of hours. They even send Me videos of Her playing with a wide selection of chews and squeakers and their dog Paisley is such a good sport, even when Pooka can be a bit of a bugaboo. 100% recommend.”
“Shevell was excellent with my very anxious dog. I could tell right away when I dropped her off that she was in great hands with an experienced dog owner and sitter. Will definitely book again.”
“Zhian has watched Bowie several times now and is always fantastic. Lots of pictures, great communication, and most of all when he comes back he always seems like he's had a great time. Thanks as always Zhian!”
“So grateful to have found Sarah. She loves our little girl like her own. What a perfect example of someone who is meant to take care of pups! ❤️❤️”
“Cynthia was very kind with me and my pup. She sent photos and updates which I really appreciated, since it was our 1st time booking. We will definitely be book again my Quincey loves it over there.”
“Cheyanne took great care of my Bentley boy! She was so great to work with and flexible when I needed to alter my drop off time a bit. I got great pics of my little guy each day which made me smile. Thanks again, Cheyanne!”
“Extremely friendly and compassionate with my dog! She treated him with genuine care and patience from start to finish. I truly appreciated her positive attitude throughout the entire visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who truly loves animals.”
“A great dog sitter! I received lots of pics and videos. My dog had a great time, lots of attention and got to play with other dogs. I definitely recommend Jehisson!”
“Mariana was amazing!! She took great care of my little guy and he seemed so happy. She was also super communicative and understanding when I was late for drop off.”
“Jacob is an amazing Human and a stellar dog sitter. It’s evident from the regular updates with photos, asking lots of questions to make sure he knows your pup’s particular needs. Highly recommend and happy to have found Jacob!”
“Cassandra and Jason were lovely hosts for Benito. I received just the right amount of pictures to see he was happy & updates that were detailed enough to let me know he was well cared for. They were very responsive, professional, and flexible - even willing to go above and beyond when a potential travel delay popped up. I will absolutely use their boarding services again!”

Lindsey, is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our dog, Joy, and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout the stay. This was our second time booking with her, and she’s been wonderful every time. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. We completely trust her and will definitely continue booking with Lindsay. Highly recommend!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Elgin on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 3,425 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elgin. About 91% of Elgin sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
