“Shirley was absolutely amazing with our older pup! He had an amazing time. Shirley went above and beyond to make sure our pups needs were met and that he was happy. She sent pictures and videos and gave us updates regularly. Shirley was the best! Would use her again and would definitely recommend her to others!”

“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”

“Many thanks to Phyllis and her husband for taking great care of our two dogs. They are great — very responsive, professional and loving! We look forward to seeing them at the end of the month when we are at a wedding!”

“Took excellent care of our two great danes, one of whom is senior and needed particular attention, for an extended period of time. Was very responsive, and sent hilarious photos. Would highly recommend!”
“This is my 7 year old, Shih Tzu’s 3rd time with Sarai & she loves it over there. She’s always ready & available with a positive, welcoming attitude to Jazz & helps her feel comfortable Sarai’s communication/updates can sometime be a little off, but she eventually gets back to me in 24 hours or less. Jazz always comes back happy & healthy.”

“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”

“Kyla was the first stranger I’ve ever trusted to keep my Dylan and I am so glad I chose her! She took great care of him while I was away and he warmed up to her instantly. I am very appreciative and will be booking again in the future.”

“Fantastic dog sitter! Took great care of our dogs and kept us updated with regular messages and photos throughout their stay. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah was great. She took very good care of my dog and cat and kept me updated with photos and recaps of their activities. She obviously loves animals and I felt my boys were very safe in her care--I recommend her highly.”

“I want to say thank you Tanisha. You have watched over my baby Bruno like he was your own & helped me and Cavin out so much. You kept sending me updates and I’m so glad you got to see Bruno for how gentle he really is. Bruno will be back with you anytime you are available . Thank you thank you thank you . 10stars in my book .”

“Connie was incredible! She was so sweet with Rocky, and great with communicating and sending updates/photos. I’ll definitely be using Connie the next time I’m out of town!”

“This is Manuel’s 2nd time watching my kitty Luna and he was just as awesome as the first time! He sent me a ton of photos, was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and overall very communicative.”

“Mercedes always goes above and beyond, and I really appreciate her. The care that she takes with my dog and the attention to detail is awesome I love the pictures and the communications throughout the day. She’s always so great to work with.”

“I couldn't be happier with how things went leaving Dolce with Christina and her family. I have boarded my dog at kennels before and have always had some issue when I returned, not this time. I could tell she was happy and felt at home with Christina and her family. Would highly recommend Christina to anyone.”

“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”

“Janeth is great at keeping in touch. She sent me pictures and videos of how my dog was doing frequently. She was a great communicator and pleasant to talk with. I would recommend her to anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hodgkins
Where do I even start?! I was freaking out about not having a babysitter soo last minute before our trip(like 3-4 days before the trip last minute) to where I messaged her a few days before, did a meet and greet a day before & then dropped off the next morning. A blessing in disguise. She's very responsive, understanding and experienced. She kept us updated the entire time with photos and communicated well. Using apps to find someone to trust with your fur babies is a little scary - for me personally I was super iffy but with the meet and great you can catch a vibe and there were no red flags going off for me. Definitely put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend and probably will be reaching out for future stays or even just day playdates because I can tell my baby misses being over there and playing. Susseth, I can not thank you enough again! You're amazing and thank you for doing what you do genuinely 💗

This is my 7 year old, Shih Tzu’s 3rd time with Sarai & she loves it over there.

Sandra was absolutely wonderful in taking care of Ellie! From our initial meeting to the final pickup, everything was seamless and stress-free. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and made sure Ellie was happy and comfortable throughout. We truly appreciate her care and attention. Thank you, Sandra—We will definitely use your service again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hodgkins on Rover is $37.45 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 5,394 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hodgkins. 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.
94% of Hodgkins 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 Hodgkins 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 Hodgkins 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 Hodgkins.
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 Hodgkins 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.
