“Kim was great with our dachshund. She’s very caring and communicative. She sent photos and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Can’t wait to book again when it’s warm for our dog to run around in her fenced backyard!”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Byron and Martha are the best. They took really good care of our dog Noki. They followed up each day with photos and followed all instructions for care. Will be reaching out again for his service thru Rover. For sure a 5 star sitter. Thanks again!”
“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”
“Angela & Dave took great care of Scout. Angela was very communicative and sent photo updates throughout the stay. Scout made new friends with their dogs and the others staying too.”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Absolutely awesome! They obviously love animals. My girls had a wonderful time visiting Francine and Bob. This was the first time I left them at a sitter’s house. They sent photos of my girls having fun. That put my mind at ease. I definitely will use them again!”
“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”
“Rusty was a great match for our Frankie. At the meet and greet he asked many questions to get to know Frankie's personality. We left him for 10 nights and had daily pictures/movies of Frankie. Frankie is a senior and in the hot days of July his comfort was considered. It was nice to leave him in good care.”
“Anna was super kind and accommodating. She did take pictures (which I so appreciate) including on walks. My dog was a bit high energy and Anna managed well - I know because he came back tired. Also, super helpful when we had to cut the trip short. TY Anna!”
“Stella and her lovely family were absolutely wonderful with our guy. They were of course very much experienced and knowledgeable. They provided daily feedback and were very responsive to any messages. Highly recommend and would come back!”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“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 !”
“We absolutely love having Diedre watching our dogs. My two pups were staying with her this weekend, and while one of my dogs was immediately very happy there, my other dog was very reactive and anxious around her dogs (this is normal for my dog - her dogs were great). Instead of it ruining our weekend, she pivoted and was so flexible and did drop in visits with our reactive/anxious dog. In the end, both of my dogs got what they wanted - Tilly got to stay and play and Sadie got to be comfortable at home, and got individualized attention. Both dogs were well taken care of and very happy. 10/10 🥰”
“Jennifer spent a week with my puppy while I was out of town, and all I can say is that she is a SAINT! I can’t stress enough how amazing, patient, and kind Jennifer was to Benny. She is great with updates and recommendations. If you need a sitter, you can’t do better than Jennifer.”
“Jayne took great care of Moxie. I travel a lot for work and being new to NYC and not knowing anyone I have to rely on Rover to find responsible people to love and care for my dog like I do. I got photo updates at least 2-3 times a day of Jayne taking Moxie out on walks, playing with her in the house, and of Moxie relaxing comfortably in Jayne's home. I could tell that she was well cared for and in good hands. Jayne reached out with questions about her eating habits and also had to deal with a lot of walks in cold and rainy weather, so I knew Moxie was in good hands. Jayne was very responsive when I reached out to her for updates. I would absolutely trust Jayne again with my dear Jack Russell Terrier.”
“Kathy was so good staying in touch with how our dogs, Louie and Oliver were doing. Plenty of pictures too. Great communication. We will definitely ask Kathy to take care of our pups in the future!”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“Elisa was an excellent sitter for our small senior dog! She provided consistent updates throughout our dog's stay and it was evident how much she cared about him. I would highly recommend her!”

I needed someone to watch my fur baby while we were moving and Allison and Jason were very accommodating on such a short notice. They also took great care of Halo and sent several updates daily. Halo enjoyed playing ball with their son and going on nice walks with the family. I look forward for Halo to visit again.
I was extremely happy with Jacob and Jasper absolutely loved staying with him. I booked with Jacob for 2 1/2 weeks while I was in Europe. I was nervous because that is the longest I had ever left my boy and I had only done a brief meet & greet a few months earlier. Jacob made me feel so comfortable when I dropped Jasper off and I left knowing that he was in great hands. He communicated with me & sent pictures/videos frequently while I was gone. By the time I came home I think Jasper was having so much fun that he didn’t want to leave! I will definitely be booking with Jacob again in the future!!
Our experience was wonderful. Our dog had the best time staying with Jordan, getting lots of love, interactions, and playtime. Jordan made it really easy for us to have a relaxing vacation, knowing that our dog was taken care of. Our pup (and family) is so glad to have found a new friend!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gages Lake on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,108 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gages Lake. 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 Gages Lake 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 Gages Lake 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 Gages Lake 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 Gages Lake.
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 Gages Lake 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.
