“Adela was awesome! She took great care of my dog Ellie for a few days. She was extremely welcoming and answered any questions I had prior to Ellie’s stay.Her communication skills were on point as well. She put my mind at ease each day by sending updates and lots of pictures :) I think it’s safe to say that my dog really enjoyed her stay. We will def book again with her in the future.”
“Leah was absolutely fantastic! My dog wasn't just looked after - he was loved. You can feel her heart for animals the moment she walks in, and it shows in every detail. Thank you Leah for treating Nugget like family.”
“Shannon was GREAT with my large lab mix! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, provided updates and administered his medication as requested. I really appreciated her following through over a holiday when things are so busy!”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful. She would send me updates and pictures and keep me posted how my fur baby was doing. We already have our next stay booked..”
“Laronna has taken care of Sadie twice and is really good with her. She sends pictures of how she is doing during her stay. I'm more anxious than Sadie. Thank-you for taking good care of her. Donna C”
“Ebony was great with my baby!! She was very attentive and sent numerous photos of him throughout the day and during his stay. She was very sweet and provided alot of information. I would book with her again.”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“We absolutely love working with Linda & Dwight. They’ve watched our dogs multiple times now, and every stay has been fantastic. Our pups are always excited to see them and come home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Communication is great — we always get the right amount of updates and photos, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. They follow instructions perfectly and truly go above and beyond every time.”
“Excellent pet sitter! She boarded our puppy for two nights and took great care of her. Our puppy came home happy, healthy, and well-loved. Great communication and a caring environment. Highly recommend!”
“Jerry had a great time at Francie's. She was great at keeping me updated and sent lots of pictures. It is great to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby knowing that they will be well cared for.”
“My dogs absolutely love her and Snicker. She has the perfect yard for them to roam around with no tick or flea. Teresa watched them like a hawk making sure they don't eat anything in the yard they're not supposed to. She gives us update throughout the boarding time. She will be my default whenever we need to board our dogs going out of town.”
“Tami is incredible!! This is my first time leaving my puppy and I was really nervous. We did a meet and greet, talked through his care and had him meet the other dogs. She took great care of Haze and sent updates throughout the weekend (which I loved). He couldn’t have been in better hands. 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“I could tell Ruby enjoyed her time with Laura and her family! Laura was great with communication and sending photos and videos. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Raina was exceptional with our dog, Auggie. She sent daily videos and pictures with updates. It was very clear that he was well taken of, loved, and exercised daily. We were able to really enjoy our family vacation, knowing he was happy! We can’t wait to book with her again.”
“Always excellent care with Kelly and her family! Our Pug, Lizzi considers this her home away from home when we go on vacation. She gets so excited when we pull in their driveway… or even mention their names! We are always confident leaving her and have never had a concern in dozens of stays over the last several years!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Godfrey
Alicia was wonderful. She communicated with me daily with pictures of Whiskey playing with Otis inside and outside. Alicia was flexible when we picked him up, as we were traveling with weather. We plan to use her again, as I think she enjoyed Whiskey as much as Whiskey enjoyed her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Godfrey on Rover is $44.4 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 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 August 2026, there are 846 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Godfrey. 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 Godfrey 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 Godfrey 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 Godfrey 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 Godfrey.
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 Godfrey 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.
