“Megan was fantastic! Tons of pictures, immediate responses while messaging and was flexible on time changes. Already planning to book again with Megan! Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Moon.”
“Angela is a phenomenal pet sitter! I left Kirby in her care for two weeks while I traveled for my wedding and honeymoon and never once did I feel worried about Kirby not being loved on or well cared for. Angela sent tons of pictures of her and her family snuggling with him, playing with him, walking him, and more! I was completely at ease and will absolutely use her again should I have a need for pet care. She is truly exceptional!”
“Kim is always great with our little dog Winston. She provided walks, a large yard for him to run around in, and lots of pictures and updates. Winston loves being spoiled there.”
“Rusty was great with Tally. He regularly sent pictures and videos to us which we really appreciated. Tally came home very happy and seems to enjoy her stay with Rusty and her other furry friends.”
“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.”
“Milo's stay at Stella's was great! I appreciated her honesty as he has some treat aggression. He was great with her dog Buddy and liked one of the other dogs staying but not the labradoodle. I'm grateful she was able to keep him a little later too, as our flight got back late. She sent pictures regularly and I loved seeing Milo in motion! Thank you for taking such great care of my little pup!”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”
“I just picked my dog up at Norma’s and I couldn’t be any happier!! Norma sent me several pictures and videos during the week and I could tell my dog was so happy and well cared for. I was relaxed during my week away knowing my dog was in good hands! Thank you again! ????”
“I was very anxious about leaving my large elderly bulldog with someone new. Chisato kindly allowed us a meet and greet prior to our reservation to alleviate my concerns and allow my dog a chance to visit her home. During my dog's stay, I received very regular text updates with lots of pictures, video, and descriptions of her day. She took my lazy pup out for many slow walks, and did a wonderful job managing her medications and dietary needs, including a medicated bath. I am extremely happy with the care our dog received, and will absolutely recommend her to our friends and family.”
“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with our little Zeke. He had a great time and became great friends with Fiona. Will definitely reach out to Elisa for future stays. She is so nice and took such great care - truly an animal lover! Thanks so much!!”
“They were absolutely amazing! I was nervous to leave my dog because he is big and has a lot of energy but he did such a good job, and they stayed in constant communication with me and sent me pictures which eased my nervousness! They are super friendly and love dogs!”
“Kathy is an amazing dog sitter. This is her second time watching Clark and she and her family always do a fantastic job of caring for him. He loves his time there. I would 100% leave Clark in Kathy’s care again.”
“We are very pleased with the love and care given to our Lexxie. The pictures sent throughout the days helped us get through our journey seeing our little girl. We would definitely return for future pet care and are very happy Lexxie was happy most of all. Thank you so much!!!!!”
“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.”
“Deidre is excellent as a dog sitter and overnight dog watcher. She takes a very personal approach both with the pet owner and the pet itself and has a great dog river that played with my Frankie all the time. I strongly recommend Deidre for any of the need you might have for your pet”
“Julie and Tom did an amazing job watching my senior pup. I was in a pinch and needed someone to help last minute. My dog is almost 16 and needs a lot of assistance including being carried around (he’s a lab/Weimaraner mix). I was worried about leaving him but they sent me tons of updates, pictures, and videos. My pup was actually so comfortable there he almost didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank you so much for what you do! You are appreciated!”
“Diana was great with my retriever Penny. Wasn't sure how it would go since Penny is a rescue with separation anxiety and I've only left her once with a sitter, in my house. But Diana was super understanding and patient with her. Good sized back yard that Penny loved to run around in and play catch, and Penny seemed quite comfortable with them when I picked her up. Would absolutely board with her again.”
“Jayne was wonderful!! You can clearly see she loves dogs and will pamper your furry babies. During Jazz's stay, she hurt her paw but Jayne was right on the case - she let me know right away and was able to take care of Jazz. I came back to find a super happy pup! Will definitely use Jayne's services again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Grayslake is $50

This was another excellent experience with Kelsey. She consistently provides thoughtful, attentive care, and Daisy immediately relaxes as if she’s in her own home. The communication, updates, and warm environment make every stay stress‑free for us and enjoyable for Daisy. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter.
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Grayslake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Grayslake on Rover is $38.85 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 1,666 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Grayslake. 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.
93% of Grayslake 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 Grayslake 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 Grayslake 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 Grayslake.
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 Grayslake 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.
