“Amy and her family were absolutely wonderful! They took such excellent care of Tate, had great communication and were very kind. I highly recommend for anyone needing boarding services!”
“Cary was great with my dog! Very friendly, calm and accommodating! I was nervous about finding someone to watch my dog for me, she has strong opinions about people and doesn't like everyone, but she warmed right up to Cary, we had no issues at all!”
“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“Amalia is the best! She is great with dogs - my 6 year old spaniel was wagging her tail and super comfortable from the moment we met (which isn’t typical). Amalia is extremely reliable, communicates regularly and just a really great person. I highly recommend Amalia and we plan to use her services whenever we need daycare or boarding. I am so grateful to have found such a reliable and responsible sitter.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Megan was fabulous! I was nervous about leaving my senior dog with some health issues for 10 days. But after doing a trial run with Megan I couldn’t have felt more comfortable! She has so much experience, was extremely communicative and my dog loved her. She didn’t blink an eye at all the daily medications he had. Thank you, Meagan!”
“Irene was great with our two year old Westie, Bella! She was very responsive before and during Bella’s stay with her and Bella got to partake in many fun activities during her weekend stay! We loved getting many picture updates and Bella also loved hanging out with Irene’s son. Would definitely recommend Irene and her family for any pups that are kid friendly!”
“We have used Rover for a number of sitters and walkers in the past, and Janette and Charlie are the first ones we've used more than once! They send a ton of photos and videos, and are incredibly flexible with drop-offs/pickups. I know my dog is always in good hands whenever she stays with them!”
“Jackie is amazing. This is my third time using her and I couldn’t be happier. She sends tons of videos and updates, which really puts my mind at ease, and it’s obvious how well she takes care of Teddy. He’s always happy, relaxed, and clearly loved when he’s with her. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”
“Rima is amazing with Milo. Our dog is a senior and is not the easiest to care for but Rima always finds a way to get along with him and takes the best care of him. We are always at peace leaving him with her while on vacation. We always get updates and pictures of how he's doing and it's very nice to say the least. It's been few times Milo stayed with Rima and few other dog pals and he loves her dearly. Always looking forwards in staying with her again. Thank you for all you do for Milo, Rima and know you are a savior who allows this family to vacation in peace.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Rocky! She treated him like he was part of her own family, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear from every message how much she genuinely cared about him. We never had to wonder how he was doing because she kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would gladly trust Sarah with Rocky again. Highly recommend!”
“Joerg & Lake are Chico's favorite persons. He gets really excited when we get there because he has such a great time. Lizzie their pup is his best friend. I travel a lot and I'm always confident that he is in the best care and loving hands. They are gold stars.”
“Lara was so wonderful and accommodating to a last minute booking for my pup! She was quick to respond, communicative every step of the way, and took SUCH good care of my baby. He looked right at home in every picture she sent ❤️ I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Thank you Bridget for taking care of Albert! Bridget was great with our nervous and slow paced dog. She provided lots of updates and pictures which took our minds off his care while we were traveling. It was great to have peace of mind with Bridget taking care of our pup.”
“This was our second time leaving our dog Nero with Chad and his wife. Normally he is super anxious about being left behind but was perfectly happy to hop right into their arms at drop off. Received photos/video even though it was a quick 2-nt stay. We know he had fun and was well loved and taken care of.”
“You can tell Abaigaels home is filled with love and I had no doubt my dog (aka my baby who I’m very nervous to leave somewhere) was well taken care of. I received lots of updates and saw all the snuggles and pampering my dog received. I wasn’t sure if he was going to want to come home. 5 Stars will definitely be a return customer!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincolnwood
Usually our boys are wining and panting when we pick them up. With Myriam, they did the opposite and hesitated leaving. Myriam did very well taking care of our two little ones and sharing updates/pictures every day. This was our first booking with her and she exceeded our expectations!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! He watched my dog for four days while I was in Boston and was amazing from start to finish. He sent great messages, photos, and updates throughout the trip, so I always knew she was happy and being well taken care of. My flight home ended up being delayed, and he even went above and beyond by dropping her off for me, which was incredibly helpful and appreciated. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. I would absolutely trust him with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!
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!

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,230 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lincolnwood. About 91% of Lincolnwood 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 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.
