“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.”
“We were thrilled with our experience with Maureen's care. We recently left our two westies with Maureen for a week. Maureen is so pleasant and a true dog lover which is very apparent when meeting her. She has a fenced back yard with plenty of room to roam. Her own two 'boys' are very good natured golden retrievers who wanted to play. Maureen's house is well situated for dog care, with plenty of room, yet able to isolate areas' with gates if helpful. I think in our case, what made our experience especially positive was receiving a daily phone text/picture from Maureen showing our westies during their day and a little note about their day. Was such a comforting touch. Maureen was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up time. We were very pleased and would highly recommend Maureen's service. Bill & Donna (Gurnee, IL)”
“June is amazing, she made of feel very comfortable leaving out DOG mocha with her family. June was great at responding immediately, asking care questions and helping with logistics. I can not recommend enough. Mocha came back so tired from the walks and their backyard, she had a great time.”
“Carolyn was fantastic with our dog Ace during our 5 day long vacation! She sent daily photos and updates, followed his routine perfectly, gave him plenty of walks and playtime. Ace came home happy, tired, and clearly loved. We felt completely at ease the entire time. We’ll definitely book Carolyn again soon!”
“Loved having Jess take care of our big pup! He was welcomed into her family for our extended vacation and he immediately felt comfortable and at home! (He’s a little anxious so this was a big deal!). We got regular updates and photos. Will 100% use her again!”
“Kelsey was absolutely amazing! I was in a tough spot — I was getting married and the friend who was supposed to watch my dog, Inc, canceled last minute. I had no one lined up and was pretty stressed. I did a meet-and-greet with Kelsey and her husband, and right away I felt completely comfortable. They were both so kind and welcoming, and their home was perfect for Inc. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I had total peace of mind on such an important day. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“JoAnne is amazing, great!! She is super nice and took care of my beagle as if she was hers. She has taken care of Keyla twice already. I highly recommend her and for sure would leave my dear Keyla again with her. She is the best.”
“Sally was very comfortable and warmed up very quickly and loved the huge backyard. Elizabeth was great and very accommodating with pick up/drop off times. Sally really loved staying with her and we will booking a stay again. 5 stars”
About: I have been a dog owner for 20 years, I currently have a Belgian Tervuren puppy who would love the company. I have 1/2 acre fenced in yard. I am home during the day and evening. Dogs can play outside or come inside if they would like. I would be happy to board your dog and make sure they are comfortable coming here. I work at home so pets would be not a problem as I can tend to them al all times. During the evening I can play with them and interact with the dogs so they feel comfortable. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard as well as security cameras so that I can monitor the yard at all times. The dogs love running around in my yard.
“Tommy and Julie were great. They watched my two dogs for six days and provided me with updates and videos multiple times per day. It was clear my boys were safe, happy, and loved while there. Will definitely be working with Tommy and Julie in the future when I have to leave town!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 14, and they are part of my love language! I've taken care of and have had a wide variety of pets, dog sizes, and different medical needs. Part of my life's calling is to be with animals and give them all the love. We live on a 7-acre farmette, with land to roam and play, and forest as well. We have a barn that houses 23 free range chickens and ducks. These are also my pets who I love dearly. I have 2 cats, a brother and sister names George and Lucy who are total love bugs. My daughter Teagan is almost 6, and has been around animals since she was a baby. I am currently working full time, 40 hours a week, Monday-Friday. I work remotely from my house on Fridays. I am off on Saturday and Sunday all day. We live on a 7-acre farm in a two-story house with privacy. Our house has plenty of room to accommodate different dog sizes. Our acreage also provides plenty of room for dogs to run and play!
About: **I have to say this before anything NO CATS!!!!! I have been watching dogs since 2000. Which started as an accident. I was supposed to drop my parents dogs off at the kennel on day as I was leaving town but my flight got canceled. I decided to save them money and keep them home. And that is the short story of how my pet sitting started. Then I started watching my aunts 2 dogs when she has left town and they love me. I will work with your fur baby(s) on training, administer medication, emergency vet visits and more. I take pride in caring for your baby and will give you updates on how they are doing and send you pictures of your baby if you would like. If your baby is looking for a friend my baby will become a friend. Please allow me to start caring for your baby like they are mine. PLEASE NOTE: the pets I am able to care for NO CATS. Highly allergic. Right now I am free all day. I am currently in Gurnee. If you need someone to help with your new puppy I am the one. I am not able to have them at home due to my living situation. But for your home I will be able to play with them in the home or in the yard, walk them, and make sure they stay safe while in my care. Making sure they are leashes up properly before the door is open or the fence is secure before I let them out. Your pets safety is my priority.
“Jill is the absolute best!! Our dog was ill while we were away on vacation, and Jill went above and beyond by taking her to the vet, making sure our dog was taking her medication and keeping her comfortable, all while keeping constant communication with us on how our dog was doing. She truly cared for our dog like it was her own. Jill also has a wonderful home and huge yard for the dogs to play safely in. We highly recommend you book your dog’s stay with Jill!”
About: I’m a reliable, full-time teacher on summer break, which means your pet will get my full attention and care—no distractions, just love and fun! My background in education has taught me patience, structure, and the importance of clear communication (with both humans and animals!). I’m deeply passionate about animals and treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that means extra snuggles, long walks, or just keeping their routine steady while you’re away. You can count on me to be responsible, loving, and always in tune with your pet’s needs. I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs & cats. I truly love all animals & will care for yours like they’re my own! I am a teacher on summer break. Your fur babies will have all of my time and dedication! I am free most hours of the day and for overnight care as well. Inside my home, pets will be treated like family. I create a calm, safe, and clean environment with plenty of cozy spots for rest and space for play. I follow your pet’s usual routines to help them feel comfortable, whether that means scheduled feedings, medication, cuddle time, or independent lounging. For outside time, I take dogs on regular, safe walks in pet-friendly areas and always keep them leashed and closely supervised. If your pet enjoys extra play, we’ll get fresh air and activity while staying within your comfort zone (no dog parks unless requested!). I prioritize your pet’s wellbeing, safety, and happiness
“Excellent and highly recommend ! very welcoming and inviting while providing a safe and happy place for our dog while we’re away. Will book again without reservation . I appreciated the updates and pics also. Thank you Again , Mariya & Eva.”
“Rachel was very communicative while we were away on vacation. She sent us pictures of our furry friend and updates. She had the pool out for the dogs and I felt like she was being well taken care of and it eased my mind while away. My dog came home exhausted! Which tells me she had a lot of play time. Happy with our experience”
“Jessica was flexible and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Selah in her hands an we would definitely use her again. Selah seemed to love being with Jessica and her daughter. They even took her in the car for an outing which she loves.”
“I can’t speak highly enough about Shalyn, Joe, and their family. We went away for an extended period of time and were adamant about finding the perfect dog sitter for our girl Lucy, and that’s exactly what we found. From the moment they took her in, they made Lucy part of their family. Not to mention, she found a new best friend in their German Shepherd, Sadie. Every single day, I received photos and videos of them playing nonstop. It was incredibly heartwarming, and I couldn’t have been happier knowing Lucy was in such loving and capable hands. Just to put things in perspective, Shalyn, Joe, and family are about a 40 minute drive from our home, but they will always be our go to whenever we need care for Lucy. Thank you so much for everything. You are sincerely the best.”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”

Danielle took such good care of my little bug! He was super nervous after I left, but Danielle took him for a nice walk to get the jitters out and let him cuddle her and her kids (and even sent me pictures of him laying across their arms while on their laptop) and he immediately warmed up. I was so grateful she came through for me for a last minute booking. Will absolutely be bringing Archie to 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Johnsburg on Rover is $35 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,110 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.

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.
