“We rebooked with Tatiana based on a great past experience. I knew the dogs were in the best hands and getting more walks then they do at home. All the pictures sent to us while we were away was like we were right there with her. Thanks for providing all the love and attention to our pups!”
“Perfect home and perfect care. We received pictures/videos all the time and they provided updates on activities. They treated melon like their own dog.”
“Jacob was great! He took good care of Muffin, was always responsive and available, and was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times. Thank you for watching Muffin while we were on vacation!”
“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“Rico is our go-to over night sitter for our dog, Odin. Odin absolutely adores Rico and we always feel great knowing that Odin is being so well cared for while we are away!”
“So happy we found Diane! Our girl was very happy staying with her and we could relax knowing she was well cared for. Diane’s house is very clean and well set up and she has a nice enclosed yard. Diane was always quick with responses and sent photos. We will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Sophie & Sean were extremely caring and considerate sitters for our 14 year old, cockapoo, Dunkin’. They were incredibly patient and loving to our boy and his special needs while we were away. They treated him as though he was their own! Throughout the stay, they kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which really put us at ease. It was clear that Sophie & Sean went above and beyond to make sure Dunkin’ was comfortable and well-cared for. Very grateful to have found them 🐾💗”
“I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Nic took such good care of Bailey! Nic was so responsive, sent so many pictures, and was so sweet! Bailey got so much love and went on so many walks! I would recommend Nic to anyone and everyone!”
“Ian was so awesome with my dog who can be a bit reactive and needs a lot of exercise. He sent lots of updates and i knew she was in amazing care for a long trip i was on. I would absolutely rebook with Ian!!!”
“Corinne is so warm and comforting I didn’t worry about a thing because I knew Olive was in good hands. My little dog is getting up there in years and takes a laundry list of medication, Corinne handled everything professionally and kept her feeling loved.”
“John and Ryan were amazing! They were great communicators, sent lots of updates, and Muesli seemed so happy to be with them. Highly recommend and will use again!”
“Brian (and Lauren) we’re great. Easy to work with and good at communicating. I will definitely keep them in my short list. If your dog needs long walks, Brian is IN. He takes their dog out on 2-3 mile walks. They also have a back yard and space to keep the dogs separate, if that’s what they need.”
“Christina was amazing!! From the booking, to drop off, to pick up everything was perfect. She communicated quickly and I got daily updates that made me feel reassured the entire time. I would 100% recommend and I will always keep her in mind for future bookings!”
“Rima is great. My pet Kaycee absolutely loved her! Rima sent me updates and pictures while Kaycee was staying with her. She let Kaycee snuggle with her on the couch. I will definitely reach out to Rima again for future boarding.”
“Allison has watched Poppy several times now and always does a great job! She gives many updates and Poppy always comes home so tired! You could always tell she is well taken care of and Allison is super responsive. We are so glad to have found her and will continue to book with her!”
“Adam is incredible! Fast and clear communication. Our puppy loved him instantly! He is near the lake to take dogs on long walks. Adam is an ideal dog sitter in just about every way! I will be asking him to watch my dog next time i'm out of town!”

Vlad and Laura provided a welcoming environment for our pup and were super communicative, both before and during the stay. They went out of their way to ensure our pup had what he needed to feel comfortable and have an enjoyable stay. Would definitely book with them again!
Sonya was great with my Havanese Chewie! The past dog sitters we've tried Chewie seemed really stress out afterwards. But not with Sonya! He seemed very comfortable with her and loved her kids. Happy to have found someone that works well with my dog and look forward to having her watch him in the future.
Our dog absolutely loved his stay with Andrea and her family. We are a couple days out from him returning and he seems like he’s still missing his time there. You can tell Andrea and her kids care for the dogs. They have a secure fenced in backyard and it seems like our dog got to enjoy some time outdoors. We loved the updates and cute pictures she sent. We will use her again in the future. Thank you!
Lauren was wonderful with our little guy! She took great care of him, and we really appreciated her kindness and attention. He loves being around people, so it was comforting to know he was in good hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!
We’ve had our golden stay with Patricia and Ryan before and he always has the best time! They truly care for him and make sure he’s walked, fed and comfy! I love getting photo updates while he’s there and would recommend to anyone looking for a loving family to watch their pup.
Colleen was fantastic - took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and was great with communication and flexibility. We received regular updates with cute photos, and Colleen’s house is so well-equipped and dog-friendly with toys, beds, bowls, etc that we barely had to pack anything but food and leashes. Our dogs loved playing with her pups Teddy and Polly and came home smiling. They would love to come back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Golf is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,209 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Golf. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Golf can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Golf 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 Golf.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golf. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Golf 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
