“First time experience with Michelle and a good one overall! Great communication and upfront about the experience. Appreciate Michelle’s willingness to give some extra support to our pup who took some warming up to boarding. Would definitely consider for future boarding.”
“Our dogs had an excellent stay with JoAnne. They were loved on and treated like part of the family. I truly felt like I’d left them in the caring hands of friends. She sent us several pictures of them throughout the week with reports of the fun they were having and didn’t seem to have any trouble with their weird quirks of barking at the tv or cowering at thunder. I would definitely book here again and recommend to all my friends with dogs.”
“We love Lori and Mark. Our dog stayed with them two times now and was loved on the entire time. No worries on our end. We received updates while we were away and nothing but tail wags when we picked him up! We will definitely be a repeat customer and recommend them for your pups. 5 stars all the way!”
“Julie & Mark provided the BEST overnight experience for my dog, Elsie. They really cared for her as if she was their own and sent many cute updates with pictures. They kept her active in their fenced in back yard playing catch and playing with their dog.”
“Lauren, and her family, were so kind, communicative and caring for our old boy! We couldn’t have been happier with Aspen’s care and are so grateful he was in such great hands!”
“Yamile and her family and her pets have just been amazing. Yamile is Extremely responsive, followed a special diet, took her for walks , gave me frequent updates and generally took great care of my little girl while we were away!!! In fact she seemed sad to leave when it was time for her to come home. We have already booked a follow up stay!! Thanks yamile - you have been a life saver:)”
“Knight loves staying at June's. June is one of Knight's favorite people and as a bonus, Knight also gets to play with Cookie. My husband and I know that Knight was safe and well taken care of. Knight came home relaxed and happy! Booking another boarding request for August :)”
“Kaylee was super great!! Edy loved staying there and got tons of energy and excitement out too! We got tons of pictures from her overnight and lots of updates. Our dog came home super happy and tired!”
“This was our puppy’s first time being away from us and Connie helped it go smoothly! She was great at sending a couple pictures while we were away, and when we picked him up, he was clearly very happy and comfortable in her home. She’s warm and welcoming.”
“My dog, Lucky, had a great time. We were gone for 10 days and he was so happy. Communication and care were top notch. We will definitely book again the next time we are out of town.”
“Mary is great! We live out of state and come back to Chicago to visit family often and she has become our go-to sitter when we’re in town. Linus, our 4yo mini schnauzer, gets along well with her dogs and makes himself at home with Mary. We will be back again. Thanks, Mary!”
“A very loving family with lots of pet experience. They were able to teach my dog how to “drop” a ball after fetching. Before she would not want to give it up after fetching a toy. They also helped her learn how to get along with other dogs.”
“Christine is an excellent sitter, and I look forward to booking her again. My dog, Bentley, is my world and this was the first time, he was going to stay with a non-relative. I was nervous how he would do, but after returning from my vacay, I brought home a happy & healthy dog. His overall demeanor was enough for me to know that he was well taken care of and looked after. Also, Christine’s dog, Chloe is a sweet gentle gal, and it was easy for Bentley who has only-child syndrome to get along with her.”
“Ewa doesn’t disappoint! Olive loved her stay and feels so at home with Ewa. She loves the big fenced yard and all the attention and playtime, and I love getting all the updates, photos and videos. Ewa was flexible in allowing me to extend Olive’s stay as I was recovering from surgery. I really appreciated that. I’m so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful environment and sitter for Olive!”
“I’m soooo glad to find D’Artagnan here in Rover! My dog Elsa came home happy and tired! He sent me tons of photos and updates during the day and it just gave me peace of mind knowing my baby is having a blast with his dog Nike. Thank you and I am sure Elsa is looking forward to the next she stay with you guys!!!”
“Eileen was AMAZING with our dog Charlie! She sent lots of photos and commentary on how he was doing during his 5 day stay with him. She took him on private walks, gave him lots of play time in her yard and played games with him to keep him busy (and even let him sleep on her bed!). She was also very responsive throughout his stay, accommodating to us in our drop off/pick up times and very knowledgable about dogs in general. We will definitely have Charlie board with Eileen again in the future! She's a true animal lover!”
“My pup stayed overnight for a weekend. She was very well taken care of and has a great time playing with the other dogs at Rhondaroses house! Got updates and photos throughout the weekend. Thank you!”

Julio was amazing with Luna. He had excellent communication, and I really appreciated the way he made her feel comfortable throughout her entire stay. She can be a bit nervous at first, and he made sure she was comfortable and doing well the whole time. Thanks, Julio!
Melissa and family were great for Jessie. You can tell they really love dogs. Melissa was very good with keeping us informed about Jessie with daily pictures and status of walking and how Jessie was eating and interacting with them. Jessie really enjoyed thier dog too. Thank you again and hope to see you soon. Jan & Scott Jansen
Maggie and her kids were very empathetic to our dog when he was afraid during thunderstorms. She quickly responded to our messages and sent us frequent updates and pictures of our dog. She has a great yard and place for the dogs to run around. She treated Teddy like a family member. Thank you Maggie!
Moose loved his time with Rhondarose! It was clear during our meet & greet that she is very knowledgeable & experienced - we're lucky we found her! She provided loving care, excellent communication with many daily pics, and lots of playtime & snuggles. Moose had a GI issue and she knew exactly how to care for him & keep us updated. Rhondarose is a rare find & we will definitely board with her again. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Moose!
We are so thankful for the wonderful care our dog received! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Marissa sent us regular pictures and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us so happy to see how well he was doing. ♥️
Michelle was fantastic at making sure my dog had the best time while with her! From the very beginning, Michelle was very communicative and made the whole experience feel straightforward and easy. I also really appreciated the updates and getting to see how much fun my dog was having. I will absolutely be asking for availability again in the future and would recommend anyone looking for pet care to reach out as well!
Ellie and her husband watched Kody for 5 nights at their house, and this was the first time I'd been away from Kody for more than about a 12 hour stretch. I was pretty anxious about it but Kody was comfortable around them from the very start. Ellie gave me updates once per day and by the second day, Kody seemed to feel at home with her which was a huge weight off my mind. She was also very accommodating of his/our routine and she did everything she could to allow Kody to feel comfortable during his stay with her. I'd book with her again in a heartbeat!
We couldn't be happier with the care Upasana provided for our Shih Tzu, Coffee. She went above and beyond to understand his specific needs and daily schedule. Getting regular updates and pictures throughout the stay really set our minds at ease. Plus, her dog Jason is sweet and proved to be the perfect playmate for Coffee! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch sitter and will definitely be repeat clients.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Palatine on Rover is $46.62 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 5,143 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Palatine. 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 Palatine 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 Palatine 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 Palatine 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 Palatine.
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 Palatine 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.
