Dotty had a great time with Mike and his wife. He really kept me up to date on her stay. She spent time napping on the couch and playing with the other dogs. I think Trouble was her favorite. I wouldn't have her stay with anybody else from now on. We absolutely recommend.

Regarding our plans for spring break, our plans changed multiple times and we were in need of care for our dog kind of last minute considering spring break timing. I am grateful that Kent was able to help us out. Kent was very easy to work with and he took great care of Tansey. He provided daily updates and sent some pictures of Tansey. Kent is very kind and it shows that he really enjoys caring for dogs. Thank you Kent!

Dartagnan was great at taking care of Axel. When I first met him for a meet and greet, I could tell he was knowledgeable about dogs. One thing I really liked was that he is always quick to address any mischievous behaviors that comes from too much excitement. He also sent me daily photos, which was reassuring. As someone who used to dog sit on Rover, I have high expectations. Dartagnan and his partner have exceeded them. Will definitely book with them again the next time I’m out of town.

About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!

Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.

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

Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.

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!

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.

FAQs for Boarding - Palatine

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Palatine on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 5,356 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Palatine. About 91% of Palatine sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
