“Our Elly has just wrapped up her 5th stay with Wendy and Bill! We couldn't be happier with the care, love and attention she is given while in their care. We are able to go away and feel confident that Elly is being lovingly cared for and showered with lots of attention. We never worry about her safety. Wendy and Bill are conscientious about keeping all their guests safe. Elly comes home happy after her visit. She loves running in the fenced yard, playing with Sadie and the cats 😀, walks when weather permits and being a couch potato-just like she is at home!! Wendy and Bill always follow our directions perfectly. We also really appreciate the daily updates and pictures. We look forward to them as we are enjoying our vacation. It also puts us at ease to see Elly having fun! We highly recommend Wendy and Bill and have referred them to friends who were in need of a dog sitter. We are looking forward to our summer trip knowing Elly will be in good hands with Wendy and Bill!!”
“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! \(^-^)/”
“Winnie and Maisie received excellent care while staying with June and Wade. We appreciated the daily pictures and reports. They are very attentive to the dogs needs.”
“Absolutely amazing, my dog has stayed with and friends anx family before and usually for at least a few days she wont eat, she wont come out from under a bed, she was out and eating before the first day was up. I was absolutely stunned and so was my family. Will 100% use again for my next trip!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Saga. I appreciated all the pictures you shared, it let me know that she was really enjoying herself! It is truly a comfort having such wonderful caretakers available when I have had to be out of town.”
“Eliza took such great care of our George! She sent updates and photos which we really appreciated! Thank you Eliza! George loved his stay with you and his new friend Lola :)”
“Rosie's love and care for our two dogs, Charlie and Peanut, was excellent. We boarded our ten-year-old special-needs dog (Peanut) and our fourteen-year-old senior dog (Charlie) for a few days with Rosie. She was able to administer medications and handle the different needs of each dog. We also greatly appreciate the help of Rosie's little dog, Bella and her daughter, Ruby. We have already booked a second boarding stay with Rosie due the confidence we have in her care for our doggies. Hooray!”
“Brian was very accommodating, taking care of my dog for two weeks on short notice. He provided updates and photos that gave me piece of mind. Plus, my dog was able to socialize with his dog, which was a bonus! His rates were reasonable; he answered my texts and questions in a timely manner. Overall very happy, and I will check back with him, should we need help with boarding our dog in the future. Thank you Brian!”
“This was my first time using Carla to watch my 80 lb, 1 year old golden retriever, Luke. I chose Carla because of all the fantastic reviews she has received, and they are all well-earned. She lives up to the hype. She took great care of Luke and frequently sent us videos and pictures of him getting along with the other dogs. For Luke, it was a 72 hour play date. We have some other trips planned this year and Luke will definitely be staying with Carla.”
“Stephanie and her husband took such great care of our dog! He absolutely loved their backyard and got plenty of snuggles. Stephanie also sent me a lot of pictures of our dog having fun which made me so happy! We will definitely have our dog stay with them again!”
“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”
“Leaving my dogs is never easy to do, however, Katey and her family immediately made me feel at ease. Katey was very welcoming to the dogs and receptive to learning their needs. Throughout the weekend, she kept me updated on how the dogs were doing and included supporting pictures. Not only was Katey great at caring for our dogs, but also her family and personal pets. The large fenced in yard was a bonus on top of the great service. We will definitely return to Katey for our future dog watching needs!”
“Allis made my outdoor-loving Beagle feel right at home! Every video and picture she sent showed my little girl having the time of her life. She is definitely my go-to sitter forALL of my work trips!!”
“Erena is AMAZING. She really made sure my dog got the best care. I’m so happy I have found her as a sitter. I will definitely bring Sammy back. Sammy got to socialize and play all day with other dogs and I just got very good vibes. I’m so grateful for the amount of times she updated me with pictures and videos of my dog having a great time while I was gone. Thank you so much Erena! ❤️🐶”
“We were very happy to find Susan on Rover to watch our 13 year old dog, Java. She and her husband (and dog Duncan) made Java feel right at home! We got regular photos and updates while we were away, and Java didn’t look like she was missing us at all. We would definitely book with Susan again. Thank you!”
“Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.”
“Our two dogs love staying with Angela. Her love for dogs is obvious as she treats them like they are her own. Angela sends lots of pictures and lets us know how they’re doing during their stay. We have used Angela’s services several times and will continue to do so in the future!”

We feel so lucky to have found Michelle! She has taken wonderful care of our dog, Bear, over the past several months. Bear absolutely loves going to her, which speaks volumes about the kind of environment she creates. Michelle is attentive, caring, and always makes sure Bear gets the individual attention he needs. Knowing that Bear is happy, safe, and well cared for when he's with her gives us tremendous peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for Michelle and would recommend her without hesitation.**
Maya was a great sitter for our corgi while we went out of town! She provided daily updates, let us know any changes or silly behavior, and was very patient with our pup. She was even able to apply some medicinal spray to his paws daily for his allergies which isn’t easy to do because he doesn’t always cooperate. When we picked him up after his stay, he ran back to say goodbye to her before leaving to go home! We would definitely leave him with her again.
Melissa and family were great for Jessie. You can tell they really love dogs. Melissa was very good with keeping us informed about Jessie with daily pictures and status of walking and how Jessie was eating and interacting with them. Jessie really enjoyed thier dog too. Thank you again and hope to see you soon. Jan & Scott Jansen

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Inverness is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $65 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 October 2026, there are 5,032 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Inverness. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Inverness 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 Inverness home-away-from-home, 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 Inverness.
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 Inverness 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 , 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 .
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.
