“Sarah did such an excellent job dog sitting both of our dogs. She sent regular updates and adjusted to their personalities (one social and one shy). Our dogs had enough time to play/socialize, nap during the day, frequent potty breaks, and a comfortable place to sleep. It was such a great peace of mind knowing our dogs were well taken care of in a loving home while we were on vacation. Sarah is also very responsive and timely in communication which was well appreciated. Thank you for a great stay! We highly recommend Sarah!!”
“Kim is responsive and friendly and sweet with my babies. She did some extra travel and pickup of meds I didn’t plan for without hesitation. Having her with my kitties gave me one less thing to worry about!”
“Elva is very communicative and was so great with Sloan while watching her over the 4th of July. Sloan is already very anxious so the fireworks don’t help, but she was very calm and well taken care of when I picked her up.”
“Hi , Kichu had a great time with Mario. He texted me and also replied my text in a timely manner so I could solve the problem easily . I was able to enjoy my trip peacefully. He sent me Kichu’s pictures and videos.I highly consider Mario next time. Thank you for your service.”
“Jacob was great! He took good care of Muffin, was always responsive and available, and was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times. Thank you for watching Muffin while we were on vacation!”
“Corinne is so warm and comforting I didn’t worry about a thing because I knew Olive was in good hands. My little dog is getting up there in years and takes a laundry list of medication, Corinne handled everything professionally and kept her feeling loved.”
“Rico is our go-to over night sitter for our dog, Odin. Odin absolutely adores Rico and we always feel great knowing that Odin is being so well cared for while we are away!”
“I'm always nervous going out of town because our pup has some quirks. Maria was warm and welcoming and our dogs immediately hit it off. I felt relaxed the whole trip because I could see how much she loved dogs, and knew so much about their behaviors and interactions. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Brian (and Lauren) we’re great. Easy to work with and good at communicating. I will definitely keep them in my short list. If your dog needs long walks, Brian is IN. He takes their dog out on 2-3 mile walks. They also have a back yard and space to keep the dogs separate, if that’s what they need.”
“Or dog Dixie stayed with Rima for two weeks over the Thanksgiving holiday and he was so comfortable he had be woken up when we picked him up! We loved getting pictures and video with updates during his stay. We would bring Dixie back to stay with Rima and her family again!”

“Naomi was great!! She was very prepared and ready to learn about and to care for our dogs just the way they needed. Our dogs had the best time taking long walks, lounging, and looking out the big window. She took the time to introduce our dogs and Milo and they became great friends. The house was quiet, very clean, and perfect for our dogs. We loved seeing the daily photos while we were traveling. Definitely would recommend!”
“Julia is an amazing sitter with a lot of experience. She took great care of Rupert and updated us regularly. She also paid attention to a mild injury he had above his eye. Would definitely recommend!”

“First time using the Rover service and Eileen made the experience easy and care free. She welcomed our dog Buster into her home like she would her own dogs, and helped make his time away from his people to be a pleasant experience for him. Eileen was great about daily check in's and communication. We definitely will keep Eileen in mind for future boarding needs. Thanks Eileen for taking such good care of Buster!”
“Arlene was easy to work with and communicative throughout the entire booking and boarding process. Our dog came home happy. I would recommend Arlene to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

“Jonathon couldn’t have been a better choice to take care of our puppy, Beverly. She is a 95lb big baby mastiff who has never spent a day without us and needs a lot of attention and cuddles keep her happy. Our honeymoon was 12 days long and I was very nervous leaving her for that long. Jonathon sent us lots of pictures and it was very obvious that she was happy and safe in their care and allowed me to relax and enjoy our trip. Can’t recommend them enough and so happy to have found a sitter we trust with our precious very large baby!”

Vlad and Laura provided a welcoming environment for our pup and were super communicative, both before and during the stay. They went out of their way to ensure our pup had what he needed to feel comfortable and have an enjoyable stay. Would definitely book with them again!
I felt completely comfortable leaving our 13 yo pug with this family. She sent plenty of pictures to us showing us that Olive Oyl was completely content and comfortable. She had to be given medication each day which Janette did without problems. I recommend this family wholeheartedly. Thanks Janette for your kind care with Olive.
Sonya was great with my Havanese Chewie! The past dog sitters we've tried Chewie seemed really stress out afterwards. But not with Sonya! He seemed very comfortable with her and loved her kids. Happy to have found someone that works well with my dog and look forward to having her watch him in the future.
This was Jenny's longest (and 8th) stay with Doug & Deb. She was under-the-weather, and they went above & beyond to ensure she felt safe & comfortable. Doug went to the vet to get her medicine. Jenny loves to walk but is difficult to walk due to her reactivity. Still Deb took her out for little walks. Jenny looks forward to her next visit in November!
Lauren was wonderful with our little guy! She took great care of him, and we really appreciated her kindness and attention. He loves being around people, so it was comforting to know he was in good hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!
Nelia took such a great care of our 16-week old puppy during overnight stay. She was highly communicative & engaged, send us a lot of pictures & made sure our puppy’s needs were met. I trust this person a lot, and would recommend to everyone who is looking for a loving dog sitter

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Niles is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $87 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 Niles 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 Niles 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 Niles.
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 Niles. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Niles 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.
