“So happy to write this ruffview. Had a wonderful time Vanessa and her family while my family went on vacation without me :( It is Ok, I met new friends and was given so much TLC I'm kind of missing it I was taken care of and we sent selfies to my family every day so they could see that I was having fun. I recommend my friend Vanessa to all pets looking for a safe fun place to visit. Archie the pug”
“Heather ended up taking care of Dempsey an extra day after our flight back to Chicago was cancelled. She was quick to respond and helped make a stressful situation a little easier to manage. She took great care of Demps while we were out of town. Thank you!!”
“Always get anxious leaving my girls…..except when they’re at Diana’s house! We get videos, pictures and updates frequently and they’re so spoiled while they’re there. A large fenced yard gets them nice and tired….so tired they sleep for a whole day once they get home. Highly recommend.”
“Julie and her family were wonderful with our boy Finley!! He had all of the same comforts as home and was very well taken care of. I will definitely bring Finley back!!”

“Christina and her family were the perfect house for our 8 month old puppy. They were amazing with him and Charlie and their dog became fast friends. We are grateful to have found a home we trust when we go out of town. Highly recommend Christina!”
“Kendall is so incredible!! I was nervous to board our dogs using Rover, but my worries we quickly gone after we met her. Kendall is sweet and genuine, and you can tell she truly loves what she does. It was so nice knowing that our dogs were cared for and in the comfort of her home. I am so excited for the next time we need boarding so that we can work with Kendall again!!”
“Nicole was great! We hadn’t had to leave our dog with anyone for awhile, so we wanted to make sure he was staying with someone who would make him feel comfortable. He stayed with Nicole for 3 nights, and she gave us updates (many photos included) throughout the day! We would definitely reach back out to her in the future :)”
“This was our puppy’s first time being away from us and Connie helped it go smoothly! She was great at sending a couple pictures while we were away, and when we picked him up, he was clearly very happy and comfortable in her home. She’s warm and welcoming.”
“Beth was amazing!! Our dog seemed to love being with her. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, which was very comforting. She played with him a ton and treated him like one of her own. We will definitely book with Beth again.”
“It was our first time leaving Ria, and couldn’t be happier to have left her in Magda and her family’s hands!! I could tell Ria instantly felt comfortable in their home (and the backyard!) we can’t say thank you enough for taking care of our girl!”
“Our dog stayed with Sylvia for four days while we were away on a business trip, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. It truly felt like a camp for dogs! Sylvie kept us updated throughout our trip by sending photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. The conditions are excellent, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and spent lots of time outside running and playing. We are very grateful for the wonderful care. I can honestly say this is the best place we could have chosen for our dog. Highly recommended!”
“A true life saver! We attempted to keep our dog at a pet friendly hotel while we went to a concert, but Noodle decided she was going to let the hotel guests know how much she missed us by barking. We thought for sure we'd have to listen to the concert from the parking lot or just not go all together. Kathy responded very quickly, super nice and accommodating . Thank you again!”
“Matthew and Michelle were wonderful! Our pup, who has never stayed with anyone but family in the past, felt right at home with their clan. They listened when I explained quirks specific to my dog. They were great at sharing status updates and photos, and are really just lovely people who love dogs. We will defiitely utilize their help again!”
“Mercedes was the best boarding experience that we've had. Top tier experience! Mercedes routinely sent pictures, updates, and communications. Her and her family spoiled our fur baby! Our fur baby came home with a personalized bag of goodies including homemade treats. We will definitely use her again!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lockport on Rover is $46.32 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 3,019 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lockport. 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.
92% of Lockport 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 Lockport 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 Lockport 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 Lockport.
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 Lockport 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.
