“Kent was wonderful with Rocky. Not only did he accommodate our last minute booking request with enthusiasm, he was a great communicator and made sure to stay in contact before, during and after Rocky’s stay. He sent me pictures as I requested and kept Rocky safe and cool in this crazy heat we are having. He seemed to really like Rocky, which is important too. Thank you Kent, we look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“We were very happy to find Susan on Rover to watch our 13 year old dog, Java. She and her husband (and dog Duncan) made Java feel right at home! We got regular photos and updates while we were away, and Java didn’t look like she was missing us at all. We would definitely book with Susan again. Thank you!”
“Will was extremely accommodating in coordinating drop off and pick up schedules. We had done a meet-and-greet a few weeks prior and Luka made himself right at home then and when we dropped him off. We will definitely be having him watch Luka again!”
“Kelly was so fantastic! She clearly cares about the animals in her care and sends updates with pictures throughout the stay! she is extremely flexible and such a safe person to leave your animal with!”
“I can’t thank Bonnie enough for watching my puppy while I was on vacation. She gave updates throughout the day and sent pictures, which definitely eased my mind while being so far away. My sweet boy had a great time with her family. There was an accident, and Bonnie called immediately to inform me and talk through next steps. She then made sure to provide consistent updates until it was assured that all was well. She sent treats home with my puppy, which I thought was really sweet. I’d definitely recommend her for daycare or boarding!”
“I have left my dog with Tatiana for a week, two times so far, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! she took such great care of my dog, sending regular updates, photos, and also some videos that really put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog felt comfortable and happy the whole time. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she provided. I would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
“Molly's first time boarding, and we couldn't be happier! She got to play with lots of dog friends, and the video updates made it easy to relax while we were away. The complimentary grooming for first-time boarding customers was a really nice surprise, and Molly came home happy and fresh. We'll definitely book again. Highly recommend!”
“We could not have selected a better home for Jussi to spend the week in. Rather than just agreeing to board Jussi, Vicki wanted to know as much about Jussi's character & needs beforehand so that she could tailor her care appropriately. Moreover, Vicki was not only not put off by her particular age-related difficulties, she was extremely sympathetic & understanding. The updates we received while on vacation showed Jussi active & interacting with other dogs on hand, & it was clear she received all the love & attention she needed. Boarding Jussi with Vicki & her family was an excellent experience & we will not hesitate to seek out her services in the future. Thank you, Vicki, for loving & caring for our Jussi in our absence.”
“Despite short notice due to a family emergency, Julie and Mark has accommodated Toby. Toby was well cared and had a great time staying with them. We will use them again.”
“Hannah's care to my dog was wonderful, the photo she sent to me daily really assured me that Ling-Ling was at a sweet home away from home, that gave me a great relieve to be able to enjoy my vacation as I knew Ling-Ling was enjoying her great vacation with Hannah and her 7 years old daughter. I will book with Hannah whenever I need to if no conflict with her schedule. It's a great feeling that I will not feel anxious to plan vacation at the future anymore because I found Hannah.”
“Yaqi was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate her attention and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle and family were amazing with our dog, Mia. They updated us with pictures and how she was doing. I would definitely book and trust Danielle with our dog for any future trips.”
“My 9month old puppy Mochi’s stayed 5 days at Mrs Kristin house.Mochi enjoyed running and playing with her dog Kelce and Badgley each day. Kristin home and yard was pet friendly . I received pictures one for two pictures each day with update when I asked her. Before and during stay she replied txt promptly. It was very helpful for me.”

Dave is exactly who we needed to take care of our Wrenny girl on our first weekend away. He provided photos and updates throughout the entire weekend. I was so impressed with his professionalism and love for dogs. You can really tell this is his passion! We will definitely use Dave again in the future. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!
Molly's first time boarding, and we couldn't be happier! She got to play with lots of dog friends, and the video updates made it easy to relax while we were away. The complimentary grooming for first-time boarding customers was a really nice surprise, and Molly came home happy and fresh. We'll definitely book again. Highly recommend!
10/10 No notes. This was our first time on Rover and several years since we've placed our senior with a unfamiliar sitter/boarding location. Needless to say, we were nervous. Bonnie put our minds at ease: noting any concerns up front, answering my silly questions during meet-and-greet, daily updates with photos, and honest feedback at pick-up. Turns out that our old man, who generally prefers humans, found the right environment to play like a pup with younger dogs again! Bonnie is now at the top of our list for future Lucky-care.
This is our 2nd time leaving our Brownie with Allis. She is very attentive, professional yet playful and caring with our dog and also very responsive. From updates and pictures every day to quick messages back. We know he is in great hands when he is with her.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Medinah is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Medinah can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Medinah 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 Medinah.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Medinah. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Medinah 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
