“Stella put our minds at ease when we had to leave our almost one year old puppy (for the first time) for our wedding/honeymoon. She sends picture updates and lets you know how pups are doing throughout the week, which was always nice to see. Despite our dog having a hard time adjusting to the change, she was great throughout the process. Couldn't have asked for better people to watch our Lily. Thank you, Stella and Jim!”

“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”

“Julie and Tom did an amazing job watching my senior pup. I was in a pinch and needed someone to help last minute. My dog is almost 16 and needs a lot of assistance including being carried around (he’s a lab/Weimaraner mix). I was worried about leaving him but they sent me tons of updates, pictures, and videos. My pup was actually so comfortable there he almost didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Thank you so much for what you do! You are appreciated!”

“This was Remy’s first stay with Anays & Francis and she seemed to be immediately comfortable with them! I know she really enjoyed playing fetch in their fenced-in backyard. I’m so grateful for the amount of photos that I received during Remy’s 5 day stay. It was so comforting to be able to see how she was settling in. Would definitely recommend Anays & Francis to anyone who needs a sitter!!”

“Dickson watched our dog Sadie for a few days while we were out of state, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. His home was clean and welcoming, and he has such a calm, positive energy. He sent us photos and videos along the way, which gave us real peace of mind while we were gone. It was clear Sadie felt comfortable and happy with him. We’ll definitely be booking Dickson again”

“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Jill provided for our dog, Mia! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing Mia was in such loving and capable hands. Jill went above and beyond to ensure Mia was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during our time away. She kept us updated with sweet photos and messages, which made us feel connected to Mia even when we were apart. You can tell that Jill is a true animal lover—her attention to detail and commitment to our dog's well-being was evident in everything she did. Mia absolutely adored her, and we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful dog sitter. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Jill is the one! Highly recommend!”

About: My husband I both grew up with golden retrievers and have a soft spot for them. When I was first out on my own and bought my first home, I rescued a pit bull and she was with me until she passed. My husband, sons and I are all dog lovers and would love to welcome your dog into our home. My husband is home full time and I work from home and we are anxious to care for your pet! We have 2 sons - ages 6 and 10, so kid-friendly dogs are a must. We are available any day of the week at any time, unless we have something specific planned (which is not often). Please feel free to ask about specific dates and times and I will be sure to add you to my calendar! My husband is home full time and I work from home so we have ample amounts of time to care for your pet. My 2 sons LOVE dogs and love to play and take dogs on walks. Our yard is unfenced, per our HOA rules so your pet will always be on a leash for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. Pets are free to explore the entire home and will not be crated or gated, unless a crate is provided and requested.

“Jayne took great care of Moxie. I travel a lot for work and being new to NYC and not knowing anyone I have to rely on Rover to find responsible people to love and care for my dog like I do. I got photo updates at least 2-3 times a day of Jayne taking Moxie out on walks, playing with her in the house, and of Moxie relaxing comfortably in Jayne's home. I could tell that she was well cared for and in good hands. Jayne reached out with questions about her eating habits and also had to deal with a lot of walks in cold and rainy weather, so I knew Moxie was in good hands. Jayne was very responsive when I reached out to her for updates. I would absolutely trust Jayne again with my dear Jack Russell Terrier.”

About: I have been a dog owner for 20 years, I currently have a Belgian Tervuren puppy who would love the company. I have 1/2 acre fenced in yard. I am home during the day and evening. Dogs can play outside or come inside if they would like. I would be happy to board your dog and make sure they are comfortable coming here. I work at home so pets would be not a problem as I can tend to them al all times. During the evening I can play with them and interact with the dogs so they feel comfortable. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard as well as security cameras so that I can monitor the yard at all times. The dogs love running around in my yard.

“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our dog, Quincy! Quincy has an eye condition that requires an eyedrop every night before bed, and Kelly not only administered it every night but also messaged us afterward to let us know it was done, which gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout his stay, we received plenty of photos and videos, and Quincy got to play with Kelly’s dog, Maggie, every day. Maggie is truly the sweetest little host! We would absolutely send Quincy back to Kelly’s house in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.

“I was so very happy that I selected Veronique to care for my pup during my long 12 day vacation. Veronique truly exceeded my expectations by caring for my puppy just like she was one of the family, by sending me photos and videos of their walks in the park and by the beach, and by calming her during rain storms. I feel that Veronique is a dog whisperer. She also bathed my dog and clipped her nails beautifully. Seeing the videos, I joyfully felt that my pup was having more fun than me. I highly recommend Veronique to sit for any type of dogs as she has years of experience, a high level of canine knowledge, and her house is warm and safe, and set up with a large fenced yard and secure features. I will be using her services again in the future.”

“I needed someone to watch my fur baby while we were moving and Allison and Jason were very accommodating on such a short notice. They also took great care of Halo and sent several updates daily. Halo enjoyed playing ball with their son and going on nice walks with the family. I look forward for Halo to visit again.”

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Round Lake Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Round Lake Heights is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Round Lake Heights. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

94% of sitters in Round Lake Heights can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Round Lake Heights home-away-from-home, 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 Heights.

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 Heights 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 , 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 .

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.
