“Angela and Dave took great care of Mr Bubbles. We had a last minute cancellation, and had to book with them the night before we left on vacation. They were so nice and understanding. I felt so comfortable leaving our family dog with them. I got pictures and daily updates while he was with them. Bubbles came home happy and tired, I can tell he had a great time playing with their dogs.”
“This is the second time Wolfie stayed with Kim while we visited Great Wolf Lodge. Although he is nervous and doesn't like strangers, he had an easy time warming up to Kim. She sent us many updates of them going on walks, enjoying her outdoor area, and (his lap dog favorite) keeping close while she worked. When he wouldn't eat his usual dog food, she prepared him special food (with our blessing). We always knew he was in excellent hands and will be back for another visit if we head to Great Wolf Lodge or Great America!”
“I’m not one to write reviews but I know how important they were when I choose Debbie and her family to care for my dog. I had so many reservations and worries but after reading great reviews and then after our meet and greet I knew I had chosen the right person. Not only did Debbie and her family care for my dog but it was clear in the pictures I received daily that he was also given so much love to the point I wondered will he want to come back home lol. In addition to caring for our dog I told them due to a back injury Chanze was never leash trained and they took the time to leash train him as they went for daily walks. In every part of his care they went above and beyond what was expected. I will definitely be using Debbie and her family for our next trip. If you have any hesitation with using a complete stranger/an app to choose someone to watch your pet know your worries will quickly go away as this a wonderful family who will shower your pet with nothing but love.”
“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”
“JoAnne was fantastic! One of my dogs had to see the vet while we were gone. JoAnne took her and administered medication without a second thought! My dogs had a fantastic time and we will definitely use her again!!”
“Stella and her family were great with the pups and provided daily pictures and updates! Stella was great with making sure she understood each dog's individual needs during drop off and had everything ready to go right when we arrived for pickup. A great experience for dogs and humans alike!”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Tommy and Julie were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever leaving our dogs with people we barely even knew. They quickly put our worries at ease and sent constant updates on our pups during our week long vacation. Highly recommend!”
“This was a great fit for our pup. He is an older dog, so not as active. Still loves walks, but very big on rest, relaxing and tons of cuddles. Chisato was great at sending updates, pictures, videos - I could tell he was very well cared for. Will definitely be a repeat customer, assuming schedules on both sides allow for it!”
“Absolutely best service. Gave plenty of updates and even pictures. Made me feel very safe about leaving my bb with her. Everything was super easy. Will book again.”
“This was our dog, Bruce’s, second time staying with Dee for a long weekend. We feel so at ease leaving Bruce with her as she sends updates several times a day with pictures of him and lets us know how the day is going. We look forward to having Dee watch Bruce for future trips that he cannot tag along for. Thank you again Dee!!”
“Carla was absolutely amazing! So caring and kind. Every day she would send me photos and video updates throughout the day. She has a beautiful fenced-in backyard and I loved seeing my dog, Betty, play with her dogs. I highly recommend Carla and I plan to bring Betty back to her in just a couple weeks and will use her again in the future next time we are out of town.”
“We are so delighted to have found Sunshine! Our pup was walked, snuggled, played with, and loved, as evident from the photos! We could relax and enjoy our trip, knowing he was in her patient, fun, kind hands. We feel so blessed to have found Sunshine and will absolutely use her again! 💛”
“Rachel was so amazing to our pup Ryder! She sent us great updates and gave us peace of mind that our boy was left in good hands. He was so loved and spoiled. We will definitely be using Rachel again in the future!”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”

Rusty was amazing! You took great care of our three dogs all weekend! Randy was sure to keep us updated all weekend with frequent updates and even video updates! It was greatly appreciated to get those updates proactively and consistently! Will definitely book again in the future! Thanks Rusty!!
This was our first time leaving our dog with a caregiver and from the moment we met Angela she calmed our nerves and we knew she would take great care of our dog. Her home offered a great environment for our dog to play and relax. Angela sent us videos and pictures of our dog while we were away. She was patient with us and with our dog. We highly recommend her and we will use her again!
**Stella is AMAZING!!!** We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our pup. He gets so excited when we drop him off, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he is with her. Stella is incredibly accommodating and takes the time to learn everything about your dog — feeding schedule, playtime, routines, and all the little details that make them feel at home. Our dog gets stressed in new situations and sometimes has accidents, so she recommended some great disposable male wraps that worked perfectly. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. This was the longest he has ever been away from us — a full 10 days — and he had such a great time! He got his treats when needed, was fed on the schedule we requested, and was clearly well cared for. We highly recommend Stella to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family. ❤️
Our dog had another wonderful stay — truly like a little vacation! We received daily photos showing our dog happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying her “vacation.” The communication was excellent, the home environment is warm and safe, and our dog comes back calm and content every time. We’re grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter.
I cannot recommend Annie enough! This was my first time leaving my dog Zeus with her, and I was completely at ease the entire time. She and her husband are incredibly kind people who clearly have a passion for dogs. I received frequent messages and photo updates, which I appreciated so much. Best of all, my dog got along with theirs—it was like a little vacation for him, too! I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own, look no further. Annie is fantastic.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Round Lake on Rover is $66.6 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 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 August 2026, there are 1,394 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Round Lake. 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 Round Lake 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 Round Lake 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 Round Lake 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 Round Lake.
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 Round Lake 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.
