“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Hannah is truly amazing! Her warmth and compassion could be felt from the second we started communicating. I can’t say enough about her and the great care she gave to our girl. She creates a welcoming, well-structured environment that caters to her clients needs. We feel so lucky to have found Hannah and would highly recommend her to anyone needing loving care for their dog.”
“Thank you Jayne, for looking after Alley so well. She was a very happy dog when we picked her up. We will definitely be using your services again the next time we are out of town. You provided a great home away from home experience for Alley. The regular photos and videos were very reassuring. Thank you again.”
“Deidre, “Mama Dee” was great! She has a loving home that was so welcoming to our 2 year old Golden Doodle Nala! Nala was a bit overwhelmed but only initially as is not with other dogs too often. But Mama Dee and her happy playful dogs Milo and River were able to make Nala feel so much better. We received pictures and updates daily and some extra pics when I would miss Nala and ask how she was. Mama Dee pretty much made ME feel more comfortable and confident leaving Nala for the first time to someone other than family :) We will for sure bring Nala back to Mama Dee and her loving environment for our next vacation! Thank u Mama Dee!!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Excelente experiencia. 🐶❤️ Muchas gracias por cuidar a mi perrito con tanto cariño y paciencia.Me transmitiste mucha confianza y tranquilidad, y me mantuviste informada en todo momento. Sin duda volvería a dejarlo contigo¡Te recomiendo totalmente!🥰🐾”
“Balaji took really great care of our dog, sending photos everyday with updates. We have already used Balaji three times in a row and with each stay, can see that my dog is happy and having fun!”
“Freddy was well taken care of by Mike and Janet. We got plenty of pics and msgs about how Freddy was doing. We will definitely have Mike watch Freddy again when we leave town! Super nice people!!”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“Petra was super lovely!! Mishka cried in the car when we were leaving her home, which tells me immediately that he loved being there. She took super good care of him, not even minding he is a very spoiled puppy, sent us pictures of him being adorable, and played with him and let him borrow all her dog toys.”
“Juliana was terrific! Our dog was well cared for and she was super flexible with a few last minute changes in plans. We would definitely have our dog stay with Juliana again! Thanks”
“Kim took such wonderful care of our Pug. She even put the dog show on TV and Millie loved it. Kim sent photos throughout the week and it let us enjoy our time away knowing she was in a loving home”
“Judy is amazing! She made our dog right at home. She also sent daily pictures so that we could see what our pup was up to while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend Judy to anyone.”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who recently relocated to the USA. While I love it here, I deeply miss the family dogs I had to leave back in my home country. Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I'm so excited to open my heart and home to your furry family member! What sets me apart is the personalized attention your dog will receive. I am currently home full-time, so caring for dogs is my main focus. My husband also works from home, which means there is almost always someone in the apartment, and your pup will rarely, if ever, be left alone. I live in a comfortable apartment with wonderful green spaces nearby for walks and outdoor time. I'm happy to adapt to your dog's unique personality and routine. If your pup loves to stay active, I'd be delighted to take them on walks or runs. If they prefer a slower pace, they're welcome to curl up on the couch with me for plenty of cuddles and relaxation. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet with someone else. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I can't wait to meet your pup! I am home during the day, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout your dog's stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, so I can easily follow your pup's established feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication schedule. I take care of all daily walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention to ensure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. My husband works from home full-time, so while I am your dog's primary caregiver, there is almost always someone else in the home as well. This means your dog will have plenty of companionship and will rarely, if ever, be left alone. With our flexible schedules, your pup can enjoy frequent potty breaks, regular exercise, and lots of affection throughout the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood in a ground-floor apartment, which is ideal for dogs since there are no steep stairs or elevator rides to navigate. We also have a securely gated balcony where your pup can safely enjoy some fresh air and watch the world go by. I keep my home dog-proofed, free of hazards, and calm so every guest feels comfortable and secure. While I am the one providing your dog's care, my husband works from home, so there is almost always someone in the home as well. During walks, I always keep dogs securely on a leash, stay aware of our surroundings, and prioritize their safety at all times. I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.
“Luciana took very good care of our chihuahua. Luciana is very professional and friendly. She listened to our instructions very carefully and adhered to it. She took the dog out multiple times and fed him on time as requested. She gave very frequent updates and posted photos and videos of the dog having a happy time at her home. Overall a great experience and I would definitely recommend her and be a repeat customer as well”
“Megan was fantastic! Tons of pictures, immediate responses while messaging and was flexible on time changes. Already planning to book again with Megan! Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of Moon.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mettawa
Thank you, Jayne, for taking such good care of Bessie! This was my first time using Rover, and Bessie’s second time staying at someone else’s house. I received photo updates, as well as updates on her eating, bathroom habits, and behavior throughout her stay, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured that she was doing well. Bessie loves her routine, and when it’s disrupted, she usually doesn’t eat for a few days. Surprisingly, Bessie ate most of her meals while staying with Jayne and it happened that Jayne’s daughter stayed with her until she ate. It was so sweet of both of them, and it melted my heart. ❤️ I highly recommend Jayne, and we will definitely use her again if we ever need to be away. Thank you again for taking such great care of Bessie

Jisha was great. Because it was a new environment, Linny wouldn't eat his meals. Jisha literally hand fed Linny twice! She really cared about Linny like family! Really appreciate her pictures and video updates. I would definitely rebook with Jisha again! Thank you so much!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mettawa on Rover is $61.05 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 4,824 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mettawa. 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 Mettawa 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 Mettawa 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 Mettawa 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 Mettawa.
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 Mettawa 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.
