“Book with Tina & Bob! This was our first time using rover for our senior cockapoo. She stayed multiple nights with Tina & Bob and they treated her like their own. Their house was beautiful and Grace had the perfect setup. They took such care to the smallest details and kept us informed. They are genuine, good people that are a hidden gem on this app. They are true animal lovers that will love your dog like family. We can’t wait to go back. Thanks Tina & Bob!!”
“My dog can be a handful sometimes and Laura was able to tame him. It’s clear that she’s a huge pet lover because she didn’t want to leave her home for any extended amount of time due to my dog having separation anxiety. She also provided me with photos, videos, and updates on how things were going.”
“If you want your pet to be spoiled and catered to while you’re away, I highly recommend Nana! She was fantastic with providing care and updates.”
“Mary did a great job with Hudson! He is shy at first but warmed up to her really nicely! She is always very responsive and accommodating. Will be contacting Mary in the future when we need more help with him!”
“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.”
“Such an amazing dog sitter! Leah helped watch Obie for the week we were out of town and helped him whether a snow storm while communicating with us the whole time. Sent pictures and updates regularly and very responsive to messages. Thank you so much and will definitely ask her to help with Obie if we need to go out of town again!”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with. My pup was in great hands and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I was kept up to date of their adventures with texts and photos, and never doubted that my boy was in good hands. Sarah will be my first choice in the future. Im so glad to have someone to trust and rely on to take care of my pup. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Gizmo loves come in to stay with Keli and her family. I’m confident that he is well taken care of here and he is always excited when he sees that we are here for a visit”
“I can't thank Ebony enough! She was responsive and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The pictures sent daily put me and my family at ease and made the mini vacation away much easier. I appreciate Ebony opening up her home to our puppy Rott!!”
“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!”
“I absolutely would recommend Jayde to ANY and EVERYONE! She was so good with my doggy. She shared pictures with an update every single night. She even got to sleep in Jayde's bed! Jayde honestly treated my baby like she was her own. She was honestly fabulous. I would use her 100 times over, if I ever need another dog sitter she will definitely be who I use! (if I could give her 10 stars I would)”
“Nicole was great communicating with us. Our big crazy puppy was taken with her at the meet and greet, didn’t even jump on her! To us that was a very positive sign. Nicole has dogs of her own plus had a few more boarding. Ca$h had his first chance of meeting pups his own size and did well.”
“Jamie and Aaron are awesome! They offered a meet-and-greet a few days before our pup's visit, giving us a chance to meet them, their two dogs, and cats. From the moment you meet them, you can tell they really love animals and want to make each of their "guests" feel safe and at home. In fact, I think Row felt so at home at Jamie and Aaron's, he would have been happy to move in! Jamie kept us updated and sent pictures and videos throughout our trip - it was so fun to see him playing with their pups and snuggling in with them on the couch. We'll gladly book another stay with Jamie and Aaron!”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful with our dogs while we were out of state for the week. From the start, she was friendly, communicative, and incredibly responsive, which made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. She kept us updated regularly and was always quick to answer any questions. Most importantly, we could tell our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pets, and Julia exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Tre’Ana was an excellent host and worked with me on times and dates. Would recommend her to anyone!! My Hazel was definitely taken care of and so happy when I picked her up.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Granite City on Rover is $31.02 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 .

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.
91% of Granite City 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 Granite City 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 Granite City 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 Granite City.
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 Granite City 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.
