“Vader seemed happy & seems like he wouldn’t have minded staying longer with Kristen & her family. I will use her again 🐶🙌 I forgot his crate & his paw was injured before boarding, so she could’ve easily turned Vader away upon arrival & she went above the regular needs to accommodate him & care for him. Thank you Kristen.”
“Tami was friendly and professional. We felt very comfortable after meeting with her, her family and her dogs. She was very sweet to our golden retriever and attentive. She maintained regular connections with little messages and photos each day. Would love to use her again for a future stay.”

“Like before, Diana and Brian were wonderful to Piper. Easy communication, lots of photos and updates. My dog is very anxious and a picky eater but Diana and Brian takes care of her really well and makes sure her needs are met. Definitely recommend and 100% satisfied. Until next booking.”
“We had a great experience! My pups were well taken care of, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them for the weekend. They were exhausted from playing with the host’s dogs and going on daily walks which is always a good sign in my book. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Sharleen is really great! Our dog, Louis, stayed with her for over 10 days, and we could not have had abetter experience. It is always tough leaving a pet for that long, but Sharleen gave us peace of mind that Louis would be safe and happy. She sent updates and photos, showing Louis looking happy, and at home. It looked like he was treated like family and received plenty of exercise, and attention. Sharleen is professional, caring, and highly communicative. We will definitely be booking with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier sitter!”
“Magda and her family took great care of Coconut. She felt as if it was her home. They sent pictures and updates all the time when we were away. We will surely go back again. Thank you very much”
“Kathleen took great care of my girl, giving her extra attention during a thunderstorm. She gave me regular updates & was flexible when I requested a schedule change. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Freya was absolutely amazing with my hound Darcy. Apart from being a dog lover and providing me updates of her while I was away, she gave my girl huge amounts of attention and even walks twice a day! Darcy came home totally exhausted 🥰 She’s the best! Book with her !!!”
“I can't recommend Karen enough as a dog sitter! She has taken exceptional care of my dog, Django, and I always feel at ease knowing he's in her hands. From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals. Karen goes above and beyond, ensuring that Django gets plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. She provides regular updates and photos, which I truly appreciate. Django always comes home happy and well-cared for after his time with her.”
“Chad took amazing care of my dog, Dooly, while I was on vacation! He provided daily updates with photos and videos and assured me that I didn’t have to worry. Dooly had an incredible time with him and his wife and clearly trusted them. As a thoughtful touch, Chad even gave me a physical photo of Dooly at the end of his stay, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be rebooking with Chad in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Thanks Liz for watching Beau and for being flexible with the wintry weather. We are glad that we found you! It was hard to leave our pet at Christmas time, but we felt comfortable with him in your care.”
“Murphy had a great time with Linda and family! She is very easy to deal with and super thorough to make sure that our dog had a safe and healthy stay. Her dog is such a playful sweetie too- she got my very shy dog to play and feel comfortable. I definitely look forward to using Linda again. Thank you so much!”
“Clarissa was so amazing with rotini! She went above and beyond to make sure he was eating well and having a great time. Her dog, Rue, was the perfect playmate for my dog. Would rebook with her anytime!”
“Julie and her family were kind and welcoming. They took care of Dash as their own and gave us the comfort of knowing he was going to be in great hands. I can’t thank Julie enough for keeping us updated with posts and pictures and taking great care of our baby while we were gone!”
“Patricia was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. She took very good care of our gentle giant, 7yr old golden doodle, and I would definitely seek to use her services again. She is awesome to work with. I would highly recommend.”
“Marko was fantastic. He kept us updated about our dog Luna and sent many pictures. It was very reassuring to know she was so well taken care of especially since Luna is young and fairly new to our family. Would highly recommend!!”
“Peg was wonderful with our little girl. We picked her up just now and was happy to see us, she looked happy over all and looked well fed. Peg sent us pictures every day and was great about communicating daily status. We will definitely use Peg again and are already planning our girls next visit with Peg.”
“Ana is the BEST. She accepted to take care of Jack on short notice. From the moment we arrived at her home I felt at ease and welcomed. Her attention to detail is amazing (I guess the engineer in her). I had mentioned how Jack loves walks so she made sure she walked him and gave him all the time he needed to sniff. I am very happy we found Ana and Jack looks forward to spending time with her soon.”

We will definitely use Kristen again!! Drop off was easy and it was very reassuring that we were greeted so warmly; something that made us feel more comfortable leaving our dog, Addison, with a sitter for the first time. We were updated while Addison was in Kristen’s care and really appreciated the pictures that were sent, reflecting that Addison was happy and enjoying her stay.
I was very comfortable leaving my pup Katy for almost two weeks. The house, yard, and family are all very pup friendly. I missed Katy terribly but the daily pictures and commentary made me feel much better. I will be very happy to use Kasha to watch Katy in the future.
Jennifer was great. We booked last minute as we had someone cancel on us and she was so easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates daily and was really nice. I could tell our dogs were well cared for and given lots of love. We will definitely be using her again.
Alexis watched my two dogs Scooby & Piper, and did a great job. She was easy to communicate with, sent regular photo updates, and made me feel comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. She was also able to accommodate us for a last minute booking, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
We left our 2 pups with Alyssa for an extended visit while on vacation and she did a phenomenal job! Our lab gets nervous/ has a bit of separation anxiety and also had an upset stomach while visiting and Alyssa stayed on top of it like it was no problem. Gave both dogs a bath, washed out their cage and did her best to get her to eat in very small increments/ kept me up to date with extremely quick responses the entire time. Will rebook with her again in the future should we ever need pet sitting again. My pups returned very happy and we loved getting lots of photos of them through our trip as well! :)

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Minooka is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 875 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Minooka. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Minooka 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 Minooka 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 Minooka.
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 Minooka. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Minooka 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.
