“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Despite short notice due to a family emergency, Julie and Mark has accommodated Toby. Toby was well cared and had a great time staying with them. We will use them again.”
“This was our first time leaving Piper (our 70 lb. Golden retriever) with Alicia. The choice was easy. She had experience and there was a fenced yard. Piper is difficult to walk. Ali asked all the right questions during our meet and greet. Ali was an excellent care giver! She sent daily pictures which were greatly appreciated! Piper looked happy and right at home. It appears her children enjoyed having a dog around! She said Piper would be welcomed back anytime. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Sully had his first weekend with Rachel and family this past weekend! Prior to the arrival, she was very responsive and asked all the right questions to make sure Sully was a match for her family. We also did a meet and greet before to make sure it was a good fit. She posted daily updates on her Facebook page that truly showed the smile on our dogs face. They’re fenced in yard with a little blue is perfect for multiple doggies. He had the best weekend. He is still sleeping almost after 24 hours of picking him up. A tired dog is a happy dog. ;) We most definitely we contact Rachel for future overnight needs. She took great care of him and we are truly grateful for that!!”
“I can't thank Heather enough for taking such wonderful care of Snoopy while we were away on a month-long trip. Leaving our pup behind wasn't easy, and I'll admit I was a bit worried at first but I'm so glad we found Heather. From day one, she put our minds at ease. We received lovely weekly updates with plenty of pictures, which truly kept our worries at bay and let us enjoy our vacation knowing Snoopy was in great hands. Heather was incredibly attentive and proactive about Snoopy's needs. She promptly let us know when his food was running low and even offered to pick up more while we were away — that kind of thoughtfulness goes above and beyond. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“Jacob was so great watching our dog Oliver. We booked him a little shorter notice than I normally do and he arranged a meet and greet right away. Jacob is friendly, easy going, and communicates well. I really felt comfortable leaving my dog with him!”
“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.”
“Meagan and her family were very accommodating. They took good care of Maverick, who seemed to enjoy his time at Meagan's house. I would not hesitate to use her dogsitting services again.”
“Yamile and her family and her pets have just been amazing. Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!! In fact she seemed sad to leave when it was time for her to come home. We have already booked a follow up stay!! Thanks yamile - you have been a life saver:)”
“This was our second time boarding Haru with Hannah and we can not express how excited Haru was. At first he was a bit hesitant since it was his first time, but after his first experience he was just so ready to have fun! Hannah and her family are so kind and such a wonderful family. It was such a relief seeing the photos and updates Hannah sends showing that Haru himself is having a vacation with his friends. Our family is so grateful for Hannah and her family! Thank you so much! \(^-^)/”
“Wow, I was very happy with my dog Riri's overall stay. This was my first time using Rover.com, I was a little worried but I am so glad I did. Riri is a rescue, she has separation anxiety. Taking Riri to Aesia's home, she look comfortable and relax, this is rare for her. I am so happy that Aesia enjoyed Riri as well. My husband is in the military, this service is prefect for us because we are new to the area and and it's nice to know we already found someone that Riri feels comfortable staying with if we need a sitter. ”
“This was the best experience we had with using Rover. Stella and her family were amazing. We received photos every day, and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Our dog has recently developed separation anxiety issues at the age of 10, which has been somewhat of a challenge to figure out since it happens when we’re gone, but Stella managed everything without issue, which was a huge comfort.”
“Rima was wonderful! Thank you so much for watching my babies on short notice. They are small dogs and usually stay at home - I was so happy when I picked them up and they looked right at home with Rima.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She sent regular updates and even taught my puppy how to use the stairs. She has an awesome backyard and cozy home for pets to enjoy and lots of experience, she even has a vet background the moment she held my puppy she knew he had a hernia which I did not even know until a vet told me and I did not inform her she was smart enough to notice on her own.”
“We are incredibly happy with the care that Rachel gives to our doggie! Jezi comes home happy and healthy. Rachel gives updates with pictures and is flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times. We will use her again and again!”

Amazing experience! This was the first time our anxious dog stayed anywhere other than family. Byron took such good care of him and sent along updates, which helped relieved our stress. Our dog had so much fun that he seemed a bit depressed when he got home... Thank you Byron for taking such amazing care of Gunnar!
Veronique is a true professional with years of experience as a groomer, trainer and caretaker of dogs and animals of all kinds! She clearly loves animals and is very thoughtful and intentional with their care. We felt very confident leaving our two goldens with her and they had a great time! She has a huge backyard and a very pet-friendly home. She sent regular photos and videos of their stay. They were treated just like her own dogs. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be returning in the future!
Swagata was absolutely amazing! We boarded our dog, Joshua with her for 3 nights and had the best experience. She sent daily photo updates, kept us completely at ease, and followed our routine perfectly. Their home is super clean, safe, and so loving for dogs. We came back to a very happy and relaxed Joshua. You can tell they truly love and care for dogs. Highly recommend!

There are 2,846 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Gurnee. About 92% of Gurnee sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
