“I feel so grateful that I found someone like Genna to watch my English Setter. He plays beautifully with her dog and is treated like part of their family. She gives him the love and care that gives me peace of mind when he's with her. The huge, fenced in backyard is another plus.The photographs and video she sends on a regular basis make me smile. I highly recommend Genna to anyone looking for an outstanding sitter for their dog!”
“Heather gives excellent care to our Jude by spoiling him with extra little things.:) I'm not sure Jude even wanted to come home with us after his stay...lol!! I have used Heather about 2-3 times and will continue to do so.”
“I highly recommend this couple. Emilie and Michael cared for our puppy while we were away and they did an amazing job. Good natured couple. Also their dog Lila is a gentle giant. She got along very well with our puppy. We will definitely use their services again. Five Stars.”
“We had the most amazing experience with Corinna! ! From the very first meeting, my dog connected with her instantly — which says everything. She has such a calm, warm energy, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. Her home is incredibly welcoming and comfortable for pets — clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up so they feel safe and relaxed. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was not only cared for, but genuinely loved while I was away. Budders made herself at home, instantly. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! Thank you Corinna! XO Budders”
“Ashley was great, upfront communication and alignment with the environment they had, which helped ensure a good fit. Her two dogs and the space made Thad feel right at home and welcome! Definitely going to keep at the top of this list for the future.”
“Darcie was AWESOME! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. She watch my two dogs for a week and was communicative and sent photos the whole time. She has a sweet pup of her own that was great with my dogs. The cherry on top was her home and family were both so warm. It felt like leaving my dogs with a friend.”
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“One of the best hosts I have ever had the chance of working with Not only did she adjust the timings for us but also kept us upto date with daisy. Definitely will rebook her”
About: I've taken care of dogs since the ripe age of 7 with basic care of water/food in bowl and every 2-4hrs of potty. Whether it was friends or family. Didn't start going professional till 15 with babysitting for children and their family pups! For cats, I own a cat myself and been taking care of her for 8 years. With consistent of litter changes, basic necessities and cuddles! I am free majority of the summer before college. Tuesday's will not be free. But for majority of the week, I'm available as early as 10:00Am till late nights I have a fenced yard for your dog to run around in. I have one female lab and one male Chihuahua that are friendly and can interact with other dogs. (Also have one female cat!) My home is very much spacious, if your dog needs to be crated as well!
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
“Emily, and her family, did a wonderful job watching Roscoe. He was well-cared for, active in the yard. Pictures of our pup were sent regularly. It was a.wonderful place for our pup.”
“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”
“Joe was really great with my dog who has separation anxiety. He took the time to let her get comfortable and trust him. He also checked in throughout, which gave us peace of mind!”
“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”
“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs since an early age. I’ve cared for my own pets and those of friends and family. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I’m able to be with your fur babies all day. Weekends are for fun and time outside walking and socializing. I live in an apartment with a fair amount of green space and a paved pond area for daily walks. I’m also conveniently located next to a dog park as well! I have two sweet kitties to keep your babies company throughout the day too.

Taylor was super nice and accommodating! She watched our three crazy dogs and did a great job. She was very communicative and sent adorable pictures of our dogs looking happy and engaged. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to book her services again!
Layla had a great time at Katelyn’s! I can tell she felt welcome and comfortable and loved. They have a beautiful home in a great area with a perfect backyard for dogs. She enjoyed playing with the family dogs so much! Katelyn also sent a baggie of treats with a sweet note home with Layla. Nice touch! I highly recommend this sweet family for your doggie care needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rock Island on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 103 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rock Island. 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.
100% of Rock Island 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 Rock Island 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 Rock Island 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 Rock Island.
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 Rock Island 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.
