“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Kimberly made it really easy! She answered all our questions and met our dog in advance of her stay to make sure she would be comfortable. Our dog was clean and well cared for and happy upon her return. We would be glad to book with Kimberly again!”
“Karla did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucky. We’ve only had Lucky for a few months, and as a rescue from Texas, he has a lot of separation anxiety. Karla was very understanding and made him feel relaxed and at home, while also being patient with all of his little foibles. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. She also has a great setup for dogs, including a large long condo with plenty of space for running around. We would definitely recommend Karla to others!”
“We cannot thank Doug and Deb enough for taking such amazing care of Nina while we were away! They were incredibly attentive, making sure all of her special meals were prepared perfectly and understanding that this was her first time staying away from home. They kept us updated with photos and were always quick to respond to any messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Nina seemed so comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Doug and Deb truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for their kindness and dedication. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!”
“I’m so grateful I found Julia! She is so reliable, kept me updated, sent lots of photos and really gave me peace of mind when watching my fur baby! I’m absolutely booking her again for anytime. I need a puppysitter!”
“My dog was well taken care of and had a great time with Rico! He was great about sending photos and updates. I was unsure of my exact timing for drop off and pick up and Rico was so kind and flexible with me. Excellent experience and I'd be happy to have Margo stay with him anytime!”
“Joerg and Lake are amazing sitters! My dog seemed to have such a good time with them and I was relieved to receive regular updates. Lizzie seems so sweet and like such a friendly and playful friend for any pup who takes comfort from having another dog around. It really seemed like Zadie was treated like part of their family even for the few days she was staying with them.”
“Susan was fantastic with Gryffin! She sent plenty of updates throughout the visit and was clearly focused on making his time away more like an extended vacation with plenty of toys and playtime other pups. I would have Gryff stay with her again any time.”
“I can’t say enough about how impressed I was with the care my dog received. As a first-time Rover user, I was very hesitant and nervous about leaving Rizzo with someone new. Both sitters immediately put me at ease by taking the time to meet Rizzo beforehand and allowing us to visit their home before his stay. Throughout the visit, they consistently sent photos, videos, and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. Their communication was excellent, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about Rizzo’s happiness and well-being. Rizzo came home happy and well cared for, and I truly appreciated how accommodating and attentive they were. I’ve already booked them again for another stay and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet sitters.”
“Ron and Jeff were very accommodating for our last minute booking. We really appreciate them giving our pup, Kona, extra attention and love while we welcomed a baby into our family. Our dog needed the getaway and he came home very happy. They are great about sending us updates and pictures! Kona loves seeing them.”
“Makda and her family were wonderful! Luna took to them right away and she looked so happy and calm in the photos they sent. I get really nervous whenever Luna isn't with me, but I'm so, so glad we've found Makda and her family. Thank you so much!”
“Meredith was amazing! Even when I needed to extend the boarding time, she was very kind, understanding, and accepted everything right away without any issues. Communication was smooth, and the whole experience went really well. I truly appreciate her flexibility and care. Highly recommend!”
“Abigail and Chris were wonderful sitters! I was nervous as my dog takes a while to warm up to new people, but I got lots of great photos, and she always looked so comfortable and I knew she was well cared for.”
“Our 2 dogs loved staying with Sophie and her mom. She took them on many walks and sent lots of cute pictures. She was very easy to communicate with and clearly loves dogs. We will definitely use her again.”
“Adam and Keit came in clutch when our originally scheduled sitter no-showed last minute. They were gracious and understanding, and took great care of our dog.”
“Abaigael and her family were great hosts! Lots of updates, walks, and dedicated play time/exercise. She was super responsive and understanding as I had a last second booking. Would not hesitate to return or recommend her services.”
“Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.”
“This was our first time using Rover for boarding and I’m so glad we found Michelle. We did an initial meet and greet and she mentioned was well experienced with handling puppies. She’s gone through training and works for a vet. I was worried because our 7 month puppy can be jumpy and overly excited, but still learning and training and overall a good dog. Michelle had no worries caring for him after that meet and greet. Michelle was extra communicative throughout boarding and sending updates and photos. Our pup Hank seemed to love boarding, her pup and senior dog, and son. We love how our puppy got extra socialization time in and playtime with her puppy. Loki her puppy vibed well with our dog. Overall highly recommend Michelle for boarding and will be our go to for any future needs.”

Amalia is amazing, she is very flexible and understanding when travel plans don’t always work as planned. She was willing and happy to keep my dog another night when i couldn’t get a flight home in time. My dog is always happy when at her house, we couldn’t thank her enough!
Jackie was fantastic. I was instantly at ease from the meet and greet where she was welcoming, played with Lola and let her explore her home, and had clearly read Lola's care sheet. She sent updates throughout and most importantly, Lola came back very happy and healthy. Will definitely use her again!
Coconut had such a fun time with Claire and Sushi! She went to Claire’s house two different times so far and she was sooo excited to get back there!! She also learned better behavior from Sushi and Claire even trained Coconut to do a few different tricks. Thanks so much Claire !! :)
Zach was the perfect sitter for our sensitive little rat terrier mix! He was patient, attentive, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He was incredibly understanding of our dog’s quirks and sensitivities, including nervousness around new people and other dogs, and made us feel completely at ease while out of town. We could not recommend him more!
I had the best experience with Carla and her roommate! They were so attentive to my baby Dulce for a 3 day and 3 night boarding and treated her with their utmost love and care. I highly recommend letting them take care of your furbabies and will definitely be booking again! ❤️🙏
We have had two great experiences with Tammy watching our dog Clark! She did an excellent job communicating throughout the stay, sending regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our dog and treated him like her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
Georgia was AMAZING! She was so flexible and constantly was sending me pictures/updates. The care she provided my pup was exceptional. Her doggy Livy is also perfection and did so well with my pup. Will most definitely always come back to Georgia when I need a sitter!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Lincolnwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lincolnwood on Rover is $52.17 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,221 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.
94% 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.
