“Our pup had the best time with Kimberly! She went above and beyond to make our dog comfortable while we were out of town. She is an excellent communicator and kept in touch with us to let us know how our dog was doing. We really appreciated it! Thanks, again!”
“Tucker has the best time when he stays with Jeanette and Charles. Long walks and lots of fun playing in their large fenced-in yard. They send plenty of fun pictures and videos!”
“Another fun stay! Jenny went crazy happy when we arrived. So much attention. This is definitely like a second home for her. Thanks Doug & Deb and family!”
“Brian took great care of my dog and asked thoughtful questions to ensure my dog’s first stay with him would go well. He provided a picture daily and my dog was happy when I picked her up.”
“We left our pup, George, with Jacob for a week and while we were anxious about leaving him for so long, Jacob put our minds at ease with updates and photos. Jacob truly cares about the dogs in his care and helped make our family vacation even better knowing George was in good hands.”
“Elva was INCREDIBLE! She took such great care of Frankie! She kept us up-to-date throughout the entire time we were away, and from the daily reports and photos it was clear that she really integrated him into her family. (Of course Frankie loved all the attention!) We were particularly impressed with all the special considerations Elva incorporated into her dog sitting. Elva makes every effort to ensure the pups who stay with her are happy and well taken care of, and we couldn't be happier with the care he received. We will definitely be asking Elva to care for Frankie again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She sent regular updates and even taught my puppy how to use the stairs. She has an awesome backyard and cozy home for pets to enjoy and lots of experience, she even has a vet background the moment she held my puppy she knew he had a hernia which I did not even know until a vet told me and I did not inform her she was smart enough to notice on her own.”
“Huactemo and the team watched Louie again this week, and as always, it was a great experience. Their reliability really stands out—every stay is consistent, smooth, and stress-free, which makes traveling so much easier for me. Louie was well cared for the entire time and got plenty of social interaction, which I really appreciate. It’s clear they make an effort to keep him engaged and comfortable, not just watched. I also received regular updates throughout the stay with notes on how Louie was doing and his behavior, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I came back to a happy, relaxed dog once again. I truly appreciate the consistency and care—highly recommend!”
“Maria took such excellent care of my dog, she really went above and beyond in making sure he was safe, comfortable, and cared for ! I wasn’t expecting it to be so snowy while I was away, and she provided shoes and a coat for him to borrow: so thoughtful and really providing the best care ! As a highlight she also sent many photos and videos and was very responsive via Rover. I highly recommend Maria !”
“Norman’s stay with Naomi and Johann went off without a hitch. He felt at home with them and got along well with Milo. We enjoyed receiving the regular updates and pictures they sent as well!”
“Mario took great care of our Rhea when we went on vacation. He consistently updated us everyday with pictures of our dog. He responds to us right away and made us feel that Rhea is well taken cared of. Thank you, Mario!”
“Diana and her family were so wonderful to our puppy, Obi! I was so appreciative of the updates and pictures of our puppy since this was the first time we have ever used a dog sitter. Obi even seemed sad when we got home since he bonded so much with one of their dogs! We will for sure reach out to Diana whenever we are going to travel again. Thanks Diana!!”
“Abigail and her family are true gems. My girl is 13 years old and typically very anxious. She is so comfortable with the family. I wish I had found Abigail and her family years ago ❤️”
“Our pup had an awesome stay with Joe. He was very well taken care of and had so much fun. Walks, other dogs to play with, and water hose playtime. I’ll be booking with Joe again! Thank you, Joe!!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“If you have an anxious dog like mine, who needs a quiet, less-stimulating environment, Karla is perfect. She is reliable, communicative, and understands a dog's needs. I'm a repeat customer and highly recommend her.”

I am so glad I found Connor to watch Tucker while we were out of town!!! He was great with our dog, extremely flexible and agreeable and his communication was excellent. Our dog seemed to really enjoy himself, feeling relaxed and happy. We will definitely use him again!
We’ve had our golden stay with Patricia and Ryan before and he always has the best time! They truly care for him and make sure he’s walked, fed and comfy! I love getting photo updates while he’s there and would recommend to anyone looking for a loving family to watch their pup.
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!!
Doug and Deb were great with Regina over the long weekend. They were communicative and understanding of some of her more unique needs. Regina was very calm when picked up and clearly was pretty relaxed during her stay. We felt fully relaxed as well. Look forward to booking again!
Sarah and her family took great care of Boomer during a 2 night stay. They have a beautiful home and yard. Coordinating drop off and pick up was a breeze. She sent us photos of Boomer having a good time. Sarah was attentive when he became anxious and was very patient and helped him through it. We would recommend her and would definitely hire her again in the future.
We boarded our two dogs (ages 8 & 13) with Elva. I knew we were in good hands after our Meet & Greet. Elva asked excellent questions and really wanted to understand our dogs' idiosyncrasies. She took great care of them - gave them a lot of affection, attention, and walks. One of our dogs is especially quirky, and Elva handled it well. She communicated well with us while we were away and sent video and photos. I wholeheartedly recommend Elva as a caregiver.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Niles on Rover is $49.95 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 5,225 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Niles. 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 Niles 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 Niles 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 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.
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.
