“Danielle was amazing with our dog. Provided updates. Our dog has anxiety and doesn't do well in caged boardings. Danielle was very patient and took great care of her when we were away. 100% recommend and we'll use her again.”
About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“This was our first rover experience- our two dogs stayed with Maria and her family for about 4 days.Maria was happy to do a meet and greet before hand a couple months prior. The day we were dropping the dogs off my female who hasn’t been spayed yet started her menstrual cycle, I was so worried we were going to have to cancel our flights because I totally wouldn’t blame Maria if they didn’t want to keep her while she was wearing a diaper. But Maria was happy to still take both pups for the weekend and I am so thankful. My lab is a high energy gal and did great. We got pictures and updates multiple times a day of their walks and playing in the back yard. They seem happy and content after their stay with Maria and I cannot recommend her more. We have another stay booked with her already. So thankful to find someone to leave my pups with who we trust and can feel at ease leaving them with.”
“Great hosts and couple! They took Dexter in on such short notice with welcoming Arms. Definitely going to reach out to them in the future when we’re out of town. Thank you so much!”
About: I started dog sittng in college for my professors and quickly grew to love it. I've gained experience walking, feeding, and caring for dogs, and I bring these skills to my own pets as well. I'm excited to provide the same care and attention to your dog while you're away. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I can accomodate your need. I also offer pickup and drop-off services for a small fee. I have a fenced yard providing a secured space for your dog to play and relax. I also have a senior male Australian Shedperd who loves to play with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during the stay.
“Second time using Robynn with our two dogs. They enjoyed their week with her! She communicates great and is always sending videos and photos of the fun their having!”
“Gavin was very patient , kind and understanding of my crazy schedule for this weekend and also my first time pet parent anxiety, and my dog loved being in his carelol I would gladly book with him again!”
“Jackie was absolutely wonderful with my Border Collie, Ghost, while I was out of town in San Antonio. From the very first meet-and-greet, I was impressed by her setup—it was clear she had put a lot of thought into making dogs feel comfortable and cared for. I don’t like the idea of my dog being in a kennel for long stretches when I’m away, so it was refreshing to see the space Jackie created where Ghost could feel at home. Throughout his stay, Jackie sent me multiple daily updates with thorough notes and plenty of photos. That kind of communication is exactly what gives peace of mind when you’re away, and she nailed it. On top of that, Ghost was right at the start of a food transition when I dropped him off. Jackie kept me posted every day on how he was eating, and thanks to her attentiveness, he fully transitioned to the new food while under her care. Her family and kids were also great with Ghost—he’s high-energy, and it was clear he had good company and plenty of engagement during his stay. I also appreciated that Jackie communicated ahead of time about other dogs who might be boarding, which helped me feel even more comfortable about the environment Ghost would be in. All around, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Jackie gave Ghost the kind of care and attention I’d want for him, and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Penny was amazing! I left my pup, Ginger, with her for 2 weeks while we were out of country. Penny sent pictures of Ginger and made sure she had plenty of activity. I even noticed that Ginger had lost a few pounds that she needed to lose! I would highly recommend Penny!”
“We just want to say thank you to Molly she was really a great pick for our Australian Shepard named auggie he has separation anxiety really bad and Molly did all that she could to make him feel at home we are very thankful we found her to make our vacation a lot enjoyable knowing auggie was in good hands thanks Molly”
“Stephanie was very responsive and I appreciated the pictures. It was clear the dogs loved being there at pick up. We will definitely use again. Thanks again for watching our two beagles.”
“Arlo had a great time with Kristine and her family! Communication was clear and we received several photos and updates while we were away. It was great to know he was safe and happy while we were traveling!”
“Thank YOU Sonia & Greg & Sonny!!! We are so very grateful for the care, the patience, the expertise and the love you gave Wags while we were on vacation. We did not have to worry or wonder about Wags because we knew she was in good hands. Thank you very much!!!”
“This is the second time my pup has stayed with her and we love her! My dog is sad the whole car ride home because she doesn’t want to leave. She makes sure to send videos and pics with updates to let you know your pup is doing ok. She’s so flexible if adjustments are needed. Has definitely become our top rover choice for boarding!”
“Ashley and her whole family were wonderful! She was quick to respond helped Ernie feel loved and at home. I loved knowing Ernie was in a home with other greyhounds and he was the only guest dog. We’ve already booked our next stay!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”

We are so fortunate to have discovered Goka! Our pets immediately fell in love with her and family. She kept our dog and made house calls for our cat. Goka went above and beyond to keep in touch with us via videos, photos and texts on our fur babies. Our pets not only received the best, but Goka is a friend made!

Emily is amazing! This was our first time booking with Emily! I can say her home is set up lovely for her pet and our pet. She sent pictures during Bella’s stay! I love the fact that her baby and our baby were comfortable around each other with the same vibe! I will definitely book with Emily again! Thank you Emily!
My dog, Penelope, had a great time with Kim and Jack! They sent picture updates to me everyday and it was clear Penelope felt very comfortable and right at home with them. In addition to that, they loved Penelope's company, which made me so happy to hear! They put my mind at ease and I will definitely have them take care of Penelope in the future! Thank you both so much!
Liz did a fantastic job with Nova! We were a bit worried to leave her alone for a week as we have never left her with someone new for that long. We had no reason to worry, Liz immediately connected with Nova. It was such a relief that she was in great hands all week. Liz followed all of our instructions exactly and provided many updates which we were super appreciative of. Pretty sure Nova had the best week of her life.
Carrie and her family were absolutely amazing! They were able to help us out with our 3.5 month old puppy last minute. Throughout his stay she sent pictures and updates so we could be at ease knowing our little fur baby was having the time of his life. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love Carrie provided and highly recommend for future pet care needs!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Charles on Rover is $49.95 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 5,223 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Charles. 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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles 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 Saint Charles.
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 Saint Charles 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.
