“Yaqi is absolutely the best, I have an elderly Frenchie who is generally with me 24/7. I was very worried about leaving her with anybody but Yaqi very quickly put my mind at ease. She sends many pics and videos and my dog loves her. I won’t sorry next time I leave town because I know my dog will be with Yaqi.”
“We were so happy with the care that was provided for our two dogs. We received pictures of our dogs. They looked happy. She alway went the extra mile for our dogs. One of the dogs was licking his paw alot and she provided care for him. She kept us informed and we were confident of her care. We are so thankful and will definitely recommend her with your dog.”
“Kent was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Chloe. Chloe is a difficult case because she can’t be alone because of her separation anxiety she can’t be with other dogs because of her reactivity. This makes her somewhat high maintenance. Kent was able to handle and he loved taking care of her! I’ll be back to ask Kent again to take of Chloe for the upcoming holidays. Kent is very communicative and and just an overall sweet, wonderful, caring and competent person.”
“Michelle took great care of our dog. She is very organized, thorough and responsive. She has a lovely home and a very big and gentle dog who will make a great friend to any dog guest. She definitely spoiled our dog! Highly recommended.”
“Allis did such a wonderful job watching my 10 y.o. pup, Franklin. She provided daily updates and pictures and videos. I knew Franklin was being loved and well taken care of!”
“Guinness has separation anxiety and Marta was so kind. She contacted me and asked if there were any suggestions on how to get him to calm down. Then a day or two later I am getting pictures of him hanging out with other dogs. Marta and her children were great and sweet to Guinness. I will definitely book with her again.”
“I just picked up my dog from a 12-day stay with Bob. This was our second time using him & both times everything seemed to go really well. Bingo had a great time playing with other dogs; I received numerous videos so I could see how much fun he was having, how many chin rubs he got, & even where he liked to snooze. Bob seems to have a way with dogs.”
“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!!!”
“Nami loved staying with Vicki and her family!!! :) Nami was constantly playing and enjoyed plenty of outdoor time. Vicki did a wonderful job at sending pictures/videos and keeping me updated on Nami’s adventures! If you’re looking for someone to take great care of your dog while keeping you updated on all the adventures, I highly recommend Vicki!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
“Jae and her family were amazing to my sweet puppy. I could not have asked for a better family to take care of my dog; we felt absolutely blessed to have such a perfect home when we were gone. The entire family treated her like she was part of the family, and I always felt comforted on my vacation to receive pictures of my dog enjoying her days with her interim family. I will absolutely only use Jae now. And our dogs have become great friends too, so what an incredible bonus!”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
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!
“Tatiana was the best taking care of both pups. Tatiana came over to meet our dogs and they gravitated towards her calm and loving nature. Thank you for going above and beyond for us.”
“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.”

Our dog, Daisy, had a wonderful week staying with Mary and her dogs. Mary sent several photos at night showing Daisy playing with the other dogs, roaming the fenced yard, and sleeping in the living room. Daisy seemed happy and well-cared for during our vacation. I would definitely recommend Mary, and will leave Daisy with her again.
We had another fantastic experience with Marissa. This was her second time watching our 11 years old dachshund, and we couldn't be happier. Since he's a senior dog, it means the world to us knowing he's in such gentle, attentive, and caring hands. He was so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. We will definitely be booking Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 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 5,300 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.
