“Enas was great with BB. Her girls welcomed him in and he made himself home. She sent pictures and kept me updated on him throughout the day. I would definitely use her again.”
“We have used Sylvie several times now. She takes such good care of all three of our dogs and their unique personalities. She truly treats them like they were her own! Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with our dog, Chief! She took great care of him while we were away and kept us updated so we knew he was doing well. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She’s very kind, responsive, and clearly loves dogs. We would absolutely trust her to watch Chief again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”
“Michelle and Christy are phenomenal!! They watched my energetic golden retriever for 11 days over the holidays. Having met them a few weeks prior to the extended Rover visit, it was clear that they are really great people, whose positive qualities directly translated into the great amount of care they provided for Mr. Chips during his stay. The amount of updates and open communication they were willing to provide throughout the stay also made a world of difference. Seeing chips having tons of fun totally removed any sense of the worry I would have had leaving him for the 11 days. To top it off, they have a huge fenced in back yard, perfect for doggies to run and play in - and 2 cute dogs for Mr. Chips to play with. 10 out of 10.”
“Boozer loves to stay with Diana & Brian! another successful doggy vacation for him while we were out of town. I can't recommend them enough! We know our fur baby is always in good hands with them!”
“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!”
“Archer had a wonderful time at Karen’s. With his puppy behavior and not being around other dogs much I was a little worried. Karen was kind and reassuring. She kept me updated on his behavior through our trip. Archer settled in and made himself at home. She will be at the top of our list next time care is needed for Archer.”
“La Toya provided a home away from home experience for our fur baby. She sent lots of pictures, which provided a sense of comfort. Thank you and we would definitely recommend her services.”
“We left Hershey w/Julie & her family for what was to be 5 nts. It was our first experience ever leaving him. They were incredible w/him! I got a picture & message everyday, which was comforting. We had a situation which delayed our return, and they worked w/us when we had to change in pick up time, even offering to keep him another night or two if needed! Will definitely book with them again!! Highly recommend!”
“Natalie took great care of our pup. Our dog needs multiple daily walks to get her energy out & take care if business. So glad we were able to find a sitter that loved walks as much as our dog does!”
“Olive absolutely loves staying with Kimberly and her family. I know she is in great hands as I receive consistent updates throughout the stay. Will definitely book again.”
“This was Nina's first time boarding with Lucero and her family, but not the last. She was very accommodating to accept Nina at the last minute as I was looking frantically for a sitter for the Labor Day weekend. Lucy updated me at least a couple of times a day with Nina's pictures and comments. She took out Nina for her daily walks and stayed on top of her allergy medicine which she is currently taking. Nina surely appears to have had a great time with Lucy and her kids. I will highly recommend her to all her future prospective clients. Don't think twice...”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Ana! She took excellent care of our Bella. This was our first time using a dog sitter and we couldn't have asked for a better caregiver. Ana gave daily updates that included pictures and videos. She also took Bella on walks and provided lots of cuddle time. She treated her like family and we appreciated that!”
“We are so thrilled to have found Laina and Bill. A true home away from home for our two year old lab. He is EXHAUSTED after his first overnight (haha). A true sign of a great time!!! He can have separation anxiety, but they made him feel so comfortable right away at the meet and greet. Thank you for celebrating Blue’s 2nd birthday with us!!!”
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”

We left our 1 year old Golden Retriever with Natalie for 1 week and couldn’t be more happy with the care he received. He is high energy and is still in his puppy phase which we were concerned about, additionally, this was his first time away from us or close family; Natalie provided us with regular updates with photos and texts throughout the day. He enjoyed all the long walks, being outside with her and found his comfy spots in her nice home. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Natalie care for JJ again in the future. Very thankful for her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lockport on Rover is $44.4 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 3,133 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.
93% 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.
