“A wonderful caring experienced dog sitter for my energetic little Shorrky! What more could I ask for!? I had no worries and felt confident Abby was being well taken care of and loved… will be back!! Everything was great!!”
“Jayne was great. She sent us multiple updates a day, including pictures. She was quick to respond. It was very easy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up times. And our dog Conrad, seemed in great spirits when we picked him up.”
“Jill was wonderful! Our dog can't wait to return and play with his favorite friends! Jill's home is set up to accommodate several visitors, so we felt very happy that our dog was able to socialize yet have his own space. Happy to book again.”
“Yaqi was absolutely amazing with my dog, Pocky! She kept me updated with messages and photos, was always responsive if I had any questions, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Ashley was great! She responded to my request almost immediately, was able to take care of my puppy upon very short notice, and she sent me cute pictures and videos throughout his short stay. I will definitely request Ashley again if we need a sitter.”
“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 were really happy with our decision to have Monica care for our two dogs during a weekend away. She was super responsive, flexible, and accommodating and it was obvious she loves animals and took very good care of them. Her house is very clean with lots of places for the dogs to relax, and her fenced backyard was perfect for playtime. Highly recommend!”
“My dog isn't away from us often and was nervous after I left. Heather and her family were patient with Lucy and treated her like part of the family. I appreciated the daily updates & pictures clearly showing my dog was having a good time. I will definitely be using Heather again.”
“Dorene had our 18 month chocolate lab for several weeks total in May/June. Pal was well taken care of, went on several walks each day, and learned to play appropriately with her dogs. Dorene followed all our instructions to reenforce our training even adding a much appreciated technique to discourage Pal’s barking. We are happy to have Pal back home, but I think he misses Dorene, the daily walks, and her dog Cloe.”
About: I have always had a furry friend in my life and could not imagine not having one. I have extensive experience walking, bathing, and taking care of pets. I love to go on walks and play catch with the pets. I work from home full time and therefore have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I work out of my house with a fenced in yard for easy play time! Excited to give them all the attention they will let me. I have a strong love for fur animals and your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. My house is a smoke free place and we allow pets on our furniture.
“I am so happy I chose Michael to care for my Aussie Layla. She is like my child and I was worried about leaving her but Michael immediately put my mind at ease. He was so warm and welcoming and Layla went right to him. It was apparent how much he loves dogs. His home and fenced yard provided a safe environment with plenty of room to roam. He took Layla on nice walks and stayed in touch with me through texts and pictures. I will definitely continue to use him for any future needs.”
“Brian is a great host. He reached out quickly upon my request and the provided information so I was able to book within about 30 minutes. He was proactive and reached out the night before to confirm arrival time and it was very responsive to all my requests and inquiries over text message. He was able to accommodate my daytime doggy daycare request His neighborhood is great and they even have a small dog area that’s fenced in for some off leash time. Basically, the best experience you could ask for when handing off your fur baby.”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“If I could give six stars, I would. This is the first time we used Rover and Leigh and Richard could not have been more wonderful. I received daily pictures and updates on how my pup was doing and I don’t think he wanted to leave when I came to get him! I would highly recommend them.”
“Victoria was amazing! This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone and she immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly attentive and sent us lots of pictures and updates. I look forward to having her take care of Timo again!”
“We boarded our dog with Jessica for 14 days! Jessica and her big family were great! We have a senior greyhound who needs medication/supplements due to arthritis and bad teeth, is a bit on the fragile side and can get easily injured, does not like to be left alone by himself EVER (we're working on it lol), and can be a bit grumpy about personal space boundaries sometimes. Despite this house having 2 adults, 6 kids, 1 dog, 2 cats, and 3 birds, Jessica and her family keep the house SPOTLESS and there is a great balance for senior dogs to have quiet time and social interaction time because the kids are gone at school for a lot of the day and then they come home and hang out with him! Jessica makes sure her kids know the dog's limits for personal space and she upholds that her kids follow them. Plus, her kids have had experience with older dogs in the past so they know what to expect anyway. The cats pretty much kept to themselves and left our greyhound alone and their shiba is very sweet and chill and pretty much kept to herself too I think because she was like OMG that dog is big!! Jessica is a stay at home mom and with a big family, someone is ALWAYS home which is perfect for a dog like ours with separation anxiety. Lastly, their house has quite a bit of hard flooring including at the top and the bottom of the stairs which can be very intimidating to our greyhound at times and she did a wonderful job guiding him and making him feel secure going up and down the stairs every time and made sure he never went by himself. Jessica and her family also did a spectacular job of pampering and giving attention to our noodle (maybe even more than we do at home haha!). Most of the day he hung out on their couch and in the evenings they even let him on their bed, and every morning before school, she said each kid pet him goodbye! Lastly, Jessica sent several updates and pictures every 1-2 days of him and she always let us know if she had a question or if she was unsure about something. I am happy to have found her and I am happy to be her first Rover client and review!!! We will definitely be using her any time we go on vacation from now on!”
“Rhondarose is INCREDIBLE! Our dog’s second visit with Rhondarose and her family went perfect. She thoroughly communicated with us and sent great pictures while we were away with updates of how she was doing. Our dog had so much fun and was pooped upon picking her up- evidence of a great time!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Johnsburg is $50

Jill was absolutely amazing!! She sent me so many photos and updates which put my mind at ease while my partner and I got married!! 10/10 will def be using her again if we ever need a dog sitter!!! Thank you Jill and Maya for all you did to help watch my baby!! I’m so grateful for you both!!!
We are so grateful for Danielle and her family and the wonderful care they provide for our Ella whenever we’re out of town! Danielle is incredibly patient and always gives Ella the time and space she needs to settle in and feel comfortable. She sends daily updates and photos throughout her stay, and it’s always so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Ella is. They truly treat her like part of their own pack! Danielle is also incredibly flexible, accommodating, and understanding. During this most recent stay, we experienced unexpected travel delays and were unable to pick Ella up at our scheduled time. Danielle was so understanding and willing to work with us, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during an already stressful situation. We truly appreciate the love and care Danielle and her family give Ella and the peace of mind that comes with knowing she’s in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!
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.
From start to finish, Barbara was helpful and welcoming to our family and Kylo. Kylo definitely missed her and wanted to say goodbye. We will definitely use Barbara again because she took amazing care of our family dog. Thank you for all the updates and for looking out for our dog.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Johnsburg is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $45 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 1,049 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Johnsburg. About 93% of Johnsburg 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.
