“Katerina was just what our Jack needed while we were out of town. She was very flexible, and super sweet to our Jack!! She was very warm and welcoming. She sent videos and pics daily and took him to the dog park quite a bit. I know we will definitely use Katerina again in the future.”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“Sitter was absolutely fantastic. Very responsive whenever I had a question. Is very knowledgeable about her craft in watching the dogs. Sent me constant updates to let me know when she fed, walked or gave meds to my dog. She has an extreme attention to detail. I mentioned the reason for the sitting and then she messaged us wishing the person a happy birthday and it was very heartfelt. All in all outstanding experience and will use again.”
“Carla provides the best care! Our dog loves staying with her. Lots of fun running around the fenced yard and playing with Carla & her dogs. Then comfy naps inside. Carla regularly sends videos & photos so we know how our dog is doing.”
“She took excellent care of my dog Toko for 10 long days and ensured Toko had a wonderful time, too. The daily photos and reports gave us peace of mind and comfort even though we couldn't see Toko.”
“We trusted Julio with our golden retriever while out of town for a week. We received many smiling photos of our pup assuring us she was in great hands. Julio is nice to work with and we’ll be boarding with him again.”
“Ruby was very well taken care of! Michael was professional, prompt, and at the same time warm, friendly and welcoming. I could tell from the pictures he sent that she was well loved and having fun. This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy it!”
“Dickson was absolutely wonderful with Zeus and our puppy, Gaia. We received pictures and videos throughout out vacay and we did not worry about the doggies at all. The big back yard was wonderful for them to run around. We will definitely be using Dickson again.”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“My little dog LOVEs to go visit Ewa, Bob and the rest of his doggie friends he gets to see there. Ewa and Bob obviously love having doggie friends over to visit them. I am so blessed to have found such a wonderful place to take care of my special little guy. Ewa's personal dogs may look big but they are SO gentle. I never saw such mellow dogs. Thanks Ewa and Bob.”
“Once again, Jessica and her family are the perfect hosts for my Bear. This is the third time he has stayed with him and I can tell he is getting the very best care I could possibly ask for. She’s great about sending pictures and letting me know how things are going. I can’t say enough about Jessica!”
“Kent is really great with my dog and great at communicating. I am so happy I found such a great sitter for my dog. He is the best. Jager has made a new friend.”
“Vicki took great care of our high maintenance French bulldog while we were gone for 9 days! She made us feel totally at ease and communicated with us regularly with photos and daily updates. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Deidre gave our two dogs while we were away for the week. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She treated them like her own, making sure they felt completely at home in her space. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in such good hands. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Deidre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Carolyn. She took our pup last minute and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving her. Lots of pictures and communication throughout our time away.”
About: I've taken care of dogs pretty much non-stop since 2003. I take the welfare of any animal very seriously and promise to be attentive to all your pet's needs. My #1 goal is your peace of mind while away from your fur kids or any other animal family members. I'm retired and working part-time. A job that involves caring for animals is by far my preferred option, and making sure I'm available to devote my full attention to pet care is very important to me. If I were lucky enough for you to entrust your pet(s) to my care, he, she, or they would be my #1 priority. I pay close attention to the welfare of any pets entrusted to my care, including my own, of course. They're always the center of attention, and I am always focused on being responsive to their needs.
“Upasana was an amazing host for Nysa! She treated her like her own and kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure Nysa was fed on time, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. It was clear that Nysa received lots of love and attention, and we were able to enjoy our time away completely stress-free knowing she was in great hands. We are incredibly grateful for the care Upasana provided and would absolutely leave Nysa with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Peace of mind! That is what Michele gives you when she watches your pet while you're away. Excellent, responsive communications during our vacation. And thoughtful care -- taking our dog on numerous walks and spending time with her doing mentally stimulating activities. Can't say enough good things about Michele!
Michelle was wonderful and took such good care of my pup! I could tell right away she has a lot of experience with dogs and felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She communicated well checking in with updates and pictures. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lake Zurich is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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 3,806 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lake Zurich. 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 Lake Zurich 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 Lake Zurich 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 Lake Zurich.
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 Lake Zurich 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.
