“Justine, Brett, and family made our little guy feel right at home. If our dog could speak a human language I am sure he’d say to my family, “Hurry up and go on vacation again!” If you need someone to care for your pup(s) look no further, as they are great carers and communicators.”
“Susan, David and their son,Jack, were conscientious caregivers for our dog. They asked questions to make sure they understood her needs and preferences. We received updates with pictures of her walks and outside play. We would highly recommend their service.”
“Amanda & Anton are both so amazing to work with! They have a lot of great experience with various types of dogs and got my dog assimilated into their clan seamlessly. I was very impressed as my dog is often mopey whenever I leave and has had issues with some dogs and cats in the past. The got him to be part of the family in less than 24 hours and he has a great weekend away! My dog is also special needs and has a lot of food allergies. They did a great job handling all his various medications and feeding routine. Their attention to detail and care for his needs made me feel better to leave him for the weekend and I felt very confident that he was in good hands.”
“Mocha had a wonderful vacation at Lynda’s! Thank you for taking such great care of her. She is always happy to get dropped off at Lynda’s and a happy girl at pick up. Lynda is very responsive and gives updates.”
“Matt and Michelle took great care of Sydney and Lucy while we were gone for 9 days. They kept us updated while we were gone and sent us photos. We would use them again! Thanks guys!”
“Amberley was an awesome sitter for our dog. She took him for long walks and texted us pictures every day of him with her dog and cat so we were not at all worried about him. I would absolutely use her again.”
“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”
“Lola had a great time at Ashley's home. It was our first time leaving Lola with someone we did not know and Ashely put all our fears to rest. We had a meet and greet at her home prior to Lola's stay. I felt very comfortable about our decision to board her. Ashley provided daily updates, photos, and videos. It was a family affair and her girls loved on Lola. We will definitely book again! I highly recommend Ashley for dog boarding.”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“I try to always tip in cash. For some reason I don't know I just feel like it's safer. But I won't let my cat stay with anybody else for Katie. Katie makes your animal feel like they are one of her family. My cat is very skittish and afraid of strangers. But not with Katie. She is absolutely the best! If you want the best than book with Katie!”
“Nina has a gentle way with dogs. Nina works with my dog, Nella when Nella boards with Nina. Nella is always a little better behaved after I pick her up. Nina shows a level of care and concerned that is unmatched. I feel comfortable that Nella is getting great care when I'm away. A wonderful place to board my dog.”
“Michael took care of my dog really well! She seemed really happy to be there and got alone well with the dogs. The responses were fast and updated me on my dog. I will book again when needed!”
“I recommend Britanny a million times. From drop off to pickup she was very communicative sending pictures almost every day. She babied him and showed him love. My pup couldn’t have been in better hands. A+++ experience. Thank you Britanny and family.”
“We don’t have adequate words to explain just how pleased we are with Judy’s service. Our weekend away was made even more enjoyable knowing our Phil was with Judy, complete with regular photos showing just how much fun he was having. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Elise and her pupster Maude are the best. Lots of photos, fun outings and Josie was exhausted when I got home allowing me to get in some post vacation rest too! Josie can’t wait to go back!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“I had to leave my dog to attend my son’s wedding. Terri was the first person that took care of my dog who as a puppy had anxiety. She can be afraid of other dogs so I didn’t want to leave her where that might make her anxious. Terri was perfect! She took her on lots of walks and played fetch with her which are her favorite things to do. When I came to pick her up, my dog was happy to see me but didn’t appear to be anxious to leave Terri. Finding Terri has opened up the possibility of us actually taking a vacation and not being worried.”
“Patricia took great care of Tess for us! She was very communicative and send lots of updates. Tess came home happy and healthy! We would definitely ask Patricia to help us with Tess again”

Lynda was absolutely wonderful with Hazel! Hazel is a very anxious dog, so I was nervous about leaving her, but Lynda was incredibly patient and caring. Hazel warmed up to her and looked so comfortable and happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would trust Lynda with Hazel again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!
Jean and Al were wonderful pet sitters for Gus and Stella during our 10-day vacation. We felt completely at ease knowing they were being cared for so well. Gus is a special needs dog and needs extra attention, including medication, and Jean and Al went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and had everything he needed. They also sent us photos of both dogs every day, which we really appreciated. It was obvious from the pictures that Gus and Stella were relaxed, happy, and getting plenty of love from Jean, Al, and their family. When we picked them up, both dogs seemed happy and completely comfortable, which told us everything we needed to know. We’re very grateful for the care they gave Gus and Stella and would absolutely use them again the next time we travel.
Willow loved her stay at Justine & Brett’s! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We received regular updates and photos. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We truly appreciated the extra attention and love she gave. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Such a lovely family who warmly embrace all dogs and their needs. My dog - Clipper - had a wonderful couple of nights there. They were in touch with cute photos and updates and were extremely gracious and welcomed Clipper for an extra night when my flight home was cancelled. I’ll definitely rebook with Amanda and Anton!
Rachel is amazing!! She kept in touch with us throughout the stay which I really appreciated it, she sent photos and in every photo Stella looked so happy and I knew she was having a blast. Will definitely book with Rachel again. Thank you so much for taking care of our Stella girl💓
Edgar helped us out last minute. He communicated during the entire two night stay, provided lots of pictures and updates and was patient and understanding with our dog since this was the first time we had left him with someone else. We appreciated everything he did for our dog and can’t recommend him enough! Thank you Edgar and his kids for loving our dog while we were gone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Glen Ellyn on Rover is $40 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,541 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Glen Ellyn. 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.
94% of Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn 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 Glen Ellyn.
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 Glen Ellyn 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.
