“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.”
“Susan and David and their son did a fabulous job watching my Maggie while I was out of the country. All of their attention was on her. They were flexible and obviously caring. Their home was immaculate. Their communication was outstanding. Highly recommend!”
“My usual sitter had an emergency & had to cancel on us. I found Rover.com & Edgar came to our rescue!! He was extremely accommodating with last minute plans for our two pups!! He has a beautiful fenced back yard & family that also helped to make our fur babies feel more at home. I could tell from update photos & messages daily that my boys were being well taken care of. Highly recommended!! Thanks again, Edgar & fam ❤️”
“Ivy had the best time with Mary! She felt right home with the dog toys she has already there, the walks, and getting to look out the window. Mary was communicative and prompt and we will keep Mary on our short list for the future when we need a dog sitter!”
“Katelyn and Andrew are AWESOME! I booked them to watch my two fur babies for two nights/three days in their home. The meet and greet was very detailed, Katelyn took notes on everything including feeding, medications, potty schedules and their normal day to day routine. While she was taking notes Andrew was playing with the girls and asking all about their personalities. They have a lovely home that backs up to a park with walking paths. I dropped the girls off on Thursday and picked them up on Saturday afternoon. Katelyn and Andrew were very flexible with my schedule and that gave me peace of mind that if something unexpected happened they had me covered. They sent pictures daily with updates of the girls activities and Andrew works from home so my girls were spoiled all day and night! I highly recommend this easy going dog loving couple to watch your precious pups, they are the BEST!”
“We had an amazing experience with Leigh & Richard watching our dog Ivy for over a week! Ivy is a 7-yr old rescue and can be very skittish at times and hesitant with new people and locations. Leigh took the time to watch her a few times before our trip to get comfortable with her and Ivy did great! We were sent pictures daily of Ivy while on our trip, which made it so much better as we could be stress-free over our dog. Their fenced in yard also worked out perfectly to give Ivy plenty of time outside. Thanks again! We hope to continue this relationship!”
“Doug & Deb are wonderful pet parents! With short notice, they took in my senior dog and made her feel home. Well cared for and exercised. We will definitely come back!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Michelle took such good care of my dog. She took her on multiple outings/adventures , which Maple loves! She was also super helpful for getting Maple to eat as she can be picky and skip meals.”
“Elva and her daughter were amazing hosts for our Lily. It was my first time using Rover and I was very nervous but she made it so easy and smooth. She was very prepared with bed, toys and everything that Lily needs. She sent me regular messages with adorable pictures. Elva is very caring and made sure Lily feels safe and comfortable. Lily loved her stay with Elva and her daughter and was very relaxed and happy there. I would certainly recommend Elva to anyone!”
“Courtney was terrific with my dog. My dog has anxiety and doesn't eat good when I'm away. Courtney went above and beyond to help her eat. She's very laid back which is what my dog needs. Really knows her dog stuff as her career has always been working with dogs plus her vet tech degree. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Cheryl was very responsive and gave super care to our two dogs, one of whom was recovering from surgery and still had stitches. She careful to follow directions, sent photos, and informed me what they were doing 2x per day. We will definitely be sending our pups to Cheryl again soon!”
“I love my dog but he can be a jerk. Heather set up a meet and greet and it went really well. She provided excellent advice so when I left my dog with her he handled it well. She provided lots of attention to him and sent a video and pictures so I could see that he was content. I will definitely use her again if I get the opportunity!”
“Roberto and his family did a wonderful job sitting for our dog Hopper while we were on vacation for two weeks. He sent us pictures and updates every day or two. They really made Hopper part of the family (even though Hopper kept stealing all of their dog’s toys and attention). We were very happy to be able to leave Hopper in a home where he was so well cared for.”
“Courtney and her family were wonderful taking care of our dog. I get plenty of pictures and updates every day. It is so good to know he is well loved and well taken care of!”
“Barbara was amazing! She kept me updated daily and sent a lot of pictures. My dog was so happy and well taken care of. I look forward to working with Barbara again!”
“Michael was a great Rover sitter. He answered all of our questions during a meet and greet, so we’d feel comfortable leaving our dog with him. We got many pictures through out the week (as we requested) so we knew our pup was settling in well while we were gone. He was very flexible with dates as well when we needed to make a slight change to our drop off day. Would definitely recommend Michael and will consider him for future bookings for our pup!”
“Jorge and Susie took wonderful care of my dog. They treated her as if she was their own. I will book them for any future trip and feel secure in knowing my baby will be in good hands ❤️❤️❤️”

We had a wonderful experience! Maria took such great care of Archer and made sure he was comfortable and well looked after throughout his stay. She was also very accommodating when we needed to extend his boarding and even went out of her way to get food for him. We really appreciated the regular picture updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing he was doing well. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Molly's first time boarding, and we couldn't be happier! She got to play with lots of dog friends, and the video updates made it easy to relax while we were away. The complimentary grooming for first-time boarding customers was a really nice surprise, and Molly came home happy and fresh. We'll definitely book again. Highly recommend!
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!
Kasia is amazing!!! Great house, and the yard was awesome! Kasia is easy to work with, is happy to help make the stay everything it can be all the while being sensitive to our Murphy’s issues. She will be our go to going forward, we can’t say enough good things about her.
This is our 2nd time leaving our Brownie with Allis. She is very attentive, professional yet playful and caring with our dog and also very responsive. From updates and pictures every day to quick messages back. We know he is in great hands when he is with her.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ She was absolutely amazing with my three dogs! 🐶❤️ She is so sweet, kind, and loving, and you can immediately tell how much she genuinely loves animals. My dogs loved her too, which made me feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She took such great care of all three of them and treated them like they were her own. I’m so grateful I found someone I can trust with my fur babies! 🐾💕 I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to take care of their pets!
Kelly took care of my dog and cat, and she was seriously the best. She kept us updated with check ins, updates, and photos. She was so patient with my cat and was actually able to get him to come out and be with her, which has never happened before. You could tell she truly cares about animals and treats them as her own. I felt like I was actually able to relax knowing my babies were so well taken care of. Very grateful to find her!
With very short notice, Ed was able to accommodate our request for dog care for Maisie, our Golden Retriever. We were on an 11 day cruise and throughout our trip received pictures and updates on how Maisie was doing. She is a 1 year old golden with high energy and can be a handful. Not only did Ed improve her behavior on walks, but also worked on getting her to stop jumping on everyone she meets. It was wonderful to see her play with his dog and his children. Needless to say we wondered if she would want to come home with us because of all the attention she received. We highly recommend Ed and the wonderul care that he and his family provided for our Maisie.
Ashley was incredible! She sent an update with pictures every evening so we knew what they were up to and gave peace of mind while missing our girl. She was so attentive to Winnie - Let us know when her ear seemed to bother her and was down to clean her ears and offered to go purchase solution if needed. She checked with us prior to be sure Winnie could have a piece of Thanksgiving turkey and even got her a special toy during her own errand run which she still carries around. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Would recommend to anyone!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Itasca is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $72 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.
There are 5,573 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Itasca. About 90% of Itasca 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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
