“This was the second time I had Jennifer sit for my dogs. I would 100% trust her with them at any time. She gives frequent updates and makes sure the dogs are well taken care of. She treats them just like her own. One of my dogs was on a steroid and she made sure to give her her medicine and kept me up-to-date on how she was doing. I appreciate the care she gives to them when they are with her.”
“Anastasiia did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were out of town and I highly recommend her for boarding! She made drop off and pick up a breeze and she sent me plenty of updates throughout the week which was so nice! We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip. Thank you so much Anastasiia! :)”
“Dee was absolutely wonderful with my husky Holly. I felt totally confident that she was safe and well cared for. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in great hands ! I highly recommend Dee !”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
About: I own 4 cats, also owned 2 dogs in the past that lived to their golden age. My cats range in age from 12 - 2. I care for my animals all the time from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. They are entertained with toys and activities throughout the day. I have cat and dog carriers that I use. My car is very safe and I will put them in the backseat. If there are special requirements, please let me know.
“We boarded our dog with Jessica for 14 days! Jessica and her big family were great! We have a senior greyhound who needs medication/supplements due to arthritis and bad teeth, is a bit on the fragile side and can get easily injured, does not like to be left alone by himself EVER (we're working on it lol), and can be a bit grumpy about personal space boundaries sometimes. Despite this house having 2 adults, 6 kids, 1 dog, 2 cats, and 3 birds, Jessica and her family keep the house SPOTLESS and there is a great balance for senior dogs to have quiet time and social interaction time because the kids are gone at school for a lot of the day and then they come home and hang out with him! Jessica makes sure her kids know the dog's limits for personal space and she upholds that her kids follow them. Plus, her kids have had experience with older dogs in the past so they know what to expect anyway. The cats pretty much kept to themselves and left our greyhound alone and their shiba is very sweet and chill and pretty much kept to herself too I think because she was like OMG that dog is big!! Jessica is a stay at home mom and with a big family, someone is ALWAYS home which is perfect for a dog like ours with separation anxiety. Lastly, their house has quite a bit of hard flooring including at the top and the bottom of the stairs which can be very intimidating to our greyhound at times and she did a wonderful job guiding him and making him feel secure going up and down the stairs every time and made sure he never went by himself. Jessica and her family also did a spectacular job of pampering and giving attention to our noodle (maybe even more than we do at home haha!). Most of the day he hung out on their couch and in the evenings they even let him on their bed, and every morning before school, she said each kid pet him goodbye! Lastly, Jessica sent several updates and pictures every 1-2 days of him and she always let us know if she had a question or if she was unsure about something. I am happy to have found her and I am happy to be her first Rover client and review!!! We will definitely be using her any time we go on vacation from now on!”
“Barb is a true dog lover and such a kind person! We felt very comfortable having our dog stay with her and her two dogs. They got along very well and her daily text updates and photos reassured us that things were going well and no need to worry! Highly recommend Barb as a trusted dog caretaker!”
“A wonderful caring experienced dog sitter for my energetic little Shorrky! What more could I ask for!? I had no worries and felt confident Abby was being well taken care of and loved… will be back!! Everything was great!!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my dog reactive baby but Jenny made me feel at ease while Queen was with her. She followed my rules and provided the specific communication I requested. I will definitely use Jenny again :)”
“Michael takes great care of Kiki and this visit was no exception. He sent us texts and photos frequently to update us on how she was doing. We are planning to use Michael again next month.”
“I couldn’t be happier, Veronique was a great sitter. My dogs seems very happy and she took very good care of them. She gave them complementally bath before I picked them up. She sent me photos and videos every day to let me know how they were doing and how they interacted with her dogs and cat. Her house, back porch and backyard are really clean, well taken care of and super nice environment for dogs to run free.”
“Keira & her boyfriend were so sweet to my dog. She loved staying with them & was so tired when she got home. They sent me so many photos & updates. Would definitely recommend & rebook!”
“My dog received great care from Jorge and his family. Bella was spoiled with lots of loving attention. She had a great time with his kids which were wonderful with her. She will definitely be going back.”
“My Lab didn't want to come home! He had a great time with Angela's dogs. Her text updates and photos were reassuring to us. She has a large fenced yard, and the house is spotless. No worries.”
“Chris watched our dog over a long weekend and was an amazing caretaker! Chris sent us daily updates with pictures and was very responsive. Chris has a natural ability to engage with new pets. We highly recommend Chris and will definitely inquire again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Lake
This was our first time leaving Piper (our 70 lb. Golden retriever) with Alicia. The choice was easy. She had experience and there was a fenced yard. Piper is difficult to walk. Ali asked all the right questions during our meet and greet. Ali was an excellent care giver! She sent daily pictures which were greatly appreciated! Piper looked happy and right at home. It appears her children enjoyed having a dog around! She said Piper would be welcomed back anytime. We will definitely book with her again.

There are 1,093 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fox Lake. About 93% of Fox Lake 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
