“Deb and Doug were incredible! This was only my second time using Rover and they made me feel very comfortable. They did a great job of learning about what would make Elly most comfortable during her stay. I could tell right away they genuinely cared and were happy to take care of her. I couldn’t recommend them enough!”
“This was our first time our 6 year old dog, Kona, stayed over at another dog sitter's home. Our dog is anxious and slow to warm up to people. Jeff and Ron were very warm, welcoming, and patient with Kona. We received regular updates and pictures. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. We will definitely contact Jeff and Ron in the future!”
“i would give 10 stars if i could! Thao took great care of our puppy and we’ve never seen our dog so happy while away from us. We got so many updates and even with the severe weather that occurred during our dogs stay, Thao ensured our dogs safety and comfort! We are extremely grateful for Thao’s expertise and support and would 100% trust her for another stay in the future!”
“We can tell our pup had a great time staying with Merrick! He was very communicative, sent pictures every day, and we could tell, cared very much about the comfort of our pooch. We definitely would book again and highly recommend”
“Rico did a great job taking care of our senior rescue dog, Fritz! He sent lots of pictures, was quick to respond when I asked a question, and was very tolerant of Fritz’s quirks . We could tell Fritz was treated like part of the family!”
“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“She was absolutely lovely. My baby seemed very happy and comfortable with her, even though it was my first time leaving him. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again if I ever need a pet sitter. I won’t look anywhere else. Thank you so much!”
“This was our first time working with a sitter, and Susan gave Gus the exercise, attention, and comfortable space he needed while I was away. Although at first when I left, Gus settled in, got in some walks with Susan, and overall did well -- and came home happy and calm - a testament to Susan's care. Thank you!”
“Joerg and Lake are amazing! I was nervous about leaving my new puppy for a week, especially during Thanksgiving. But she had such a great time with Lizzie and I got the cutest updates every day. It seemed like she was having a better vacation than me! And when it got cold, they let her borrow a sweater so she would be comfortable on her daily walk. I appreciate them so much and will definitely be booking again!!”
“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“Our normal dogsitter had a last-minute emergency and had to cancel on us, and we were very lucky that Svetlana could accommodate us on just a day or two's worth of notice. She was very flexible and able to help us out with an early drop off and a late pick up. She helped make all the hassles go away. Zangar had a good stay with Svetlana and Alejandro. She got a nice big bone on her first day to help her get comfortable in the new apartment, and she came back extremely tired from all the play sessions she got. We got daily picture updates of Zangar romping around the yard and chewing her bone. Svetlana was super understanding of Zangar's limited experience with cats and made extra sure there was no craziness between her and Rocky. They also made sure she became fast friends with the other dogs there. Definitely recommended!”
“Sophie and Sean are incredible! They hosted our Regina George for six nights - the longest we've been away from her. Throughout the stay they provided regular updates, adorable photos, and were very proactive in updating us with how she was coping with her anxiety. They were patient with her and flexible in trying new things and administering her medication. We not only appreciated the regular news, but the fun energy that came along with each one! Regina was super calm when we picked her up, which is a very clear sign that she trusts and enjoyed her time with Sophie and Sean. Thanks to them both - we'll be booking with them again soon!”
“Nicky was amazing. He was so kind and totally went the extra mile to make sure our dog was comfortable. She loved spending time with him and going for walks and cuddling. I would definitely rebook with him.”
“Michelle was a wonderful sitter! It seemed that my doggo had a great time with her and was super happy when he came back home. He had so much fun that he knocked out right away! I also really appreciate that Michelle kept me updated and sent me photos of him throughout the stay. I highly recommend her.”
“So happy to have found Makda!! She was immediately responsive to my request, booked with her instantly. Gracie was well cared for, communication was great and I had no worries that she was right at home with Makda!!!”

David did an AMAZING job taking care of Archie while I was away on a trip!! Archie loved all the attention he received and had a great time playing in the yard with David and his dog Pinto. David was great at communicating and providing me with updates. I didn’t worry about Archie a single time while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!
Claire took such good care of Grampa. Our guy is the sweetest peanut, but needs calm intentional attention especially in new environments due to early life trauma and (managed) separation anxiety. Claire was incredible at assuaging my concerns and helping me feel confident in trusting her. And Sushi was such a sweet little companion who Claire also clearly takes such loving care of with lots of training and support. Our guy was excited to see me when I picked him up but I’m no way was he pulling away from Claire’s home which is a huge sign for how comfortable he became in just 24 hours. Thank you thank you, Claire, for loving our buddy!
Having Watson stay in Brian's home for 4 days while I visited family gave me such peace of mind. I received daily photos and updates, and could tell Watson was comfortable and relaxed with his new surroundings — and with the resident pup, too! Highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for a safe, loving place to entrust their four-legged family member. Thanks, Brian, for taking such great care of Wats while I was away!
Emily and Lauren took absolutely wonderful care of Margot while we were away. Their daily updates and amazing photos gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It felt like a vacation for Margot too, we think, because she had a spacious yard to run around in and enjoy, especially compared to her normal city life! Margot came home happy, healthy, and clearly very well cared for. We’re so very grateful and would absolutely trust them with her again!
We took our fur babies on vacation with us, but wanted to attend a Cubs game. I was a little nervous leaving my two fur babies with someone I didn’t know in a different city. Amalia was great! We talked on the phone before hand and she eased my mind. Drop off and pick up was great as well as the communication while they were in her care. Definitely recommend!
Merrick and his wife have been our “go to” care givers for the past few years. Our dog has been well taken care of and feels completely at ease while in their care. They provide a warm and welcoming environment for our pet as well as regular exercise. I appreciate their many pictures and regular updates on our dogs well being. I would highly recommend their services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lincolnwood on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,074 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lincolnwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Lincolnwood sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lincolnwood landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lincolnwood 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 Lincolnwood.
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 Lincolnwood 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.
