“Gloria and Mark were wonderful. My dog can be a bit shy, but they were patient and also sent photo updates while we were gone. Would highly recommend and we’ll be returning.”
“Aratrika was great! She gave us lots of updates throughout Moxie’s stay and followed all care instructions perfectly. We would definitely book with Aratrika again in the future!”
“Our dog stayed with Feiran for a week. She was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly nice and made us feel at ease right away. I loved that the dogs stay completely cage-free and have access to a great, big backyard to run around in. She also sent daily photos and videos, which we looked forward to every day and truly appreciated. We will definitely be using her again in the future—highly recommended!”
“Sarah was a great companion for my furbaby while I was away! She was very communicative throughout the duration of the boarding service, and I felt comfortable and at ease with having my dog in her care.”
“Meghan took great care of our three greyhounds for the weekend! From our one still in the crazy, destructive puppy phase to the old guy that just wants to cuddle on the couch. She handled their meds and feeding fantastic. Will happily book with her again and recommend to anyone!”
“Katherine did an excellent job of taking care of my Winnie, a large, athletic dog who craves attention from people. Katherine kept her engaged, playing games with her and throwing the ball in the backyard. She clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Winnie came home a very happy pup.”
About: Im a full-time PhD student at the college of Veterinary Medicine at UIUC. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I enjoy taking long walks, so I'm available to take pets out for walks longer than 30 minutes if necessary. I am currently able to board small and medium sized dogs at my home. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm a dog mom of two funny and loving mixbreeds: Willow, a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix and Rorie, a Pekingese/Poodle mix. They are 11 & 16 years old respectively. I'm available throughout the day to care for your pet. I typically complete my work during the evening time. I will work my personal schedule around your dog's care and needs. I have two friendly senior dogs that can keep your pet company if you decide to board them with me. If desired, I can crate your pet with your preferred instructions.
“Rae did an amazing job caring for Bella. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Her communication and attention to detail were the best that I have ever received. Thank you so much Rae for helping me with Bella!”
“Caitlin was fantastic! She and her family were absolutely welcoming of Apollo and he was more than well taken care of! We will be definitely returning to her when the need arises!”
“China was amazing. This was the first time I’ve booked a sitter on rover and she did her best to alleviate all my worries. My pup is super anxious and she did her best to help her eat her food and gave her all the time she needed to potty and do her business. She also gave my pup her meds which isn’t always easy! As long as she is available I will always go to China she’s awesome.”
“Rachel was fantastic with our senior dog, Flo. Flo has mobility issues and multiple medications, and Rachel took great care of her when we were away. Flo and Rachel's endearing cat became nap buddies. Rachel sent us plenty of feedback and pictures to reassure us that Flo was OK. We would definitely book with Racheal again.”
“Rose has always done a great job taking care of our pups. This is the second time they have stayed there and they always enjoy it. She provided us with updates and pictures and even made one of our pups feel special on his birthday. Thank you so much!”
“Ryan was an amazing sitter! He picked my baby up on a major holiday while another sitter fell through! I deeply appreciate him and would be booking in the future! Thank you again! 10/10 recommend!”
“Kellie was phenomenal with our dog, Baylee. We had been having problems with Baylee eating and Kellie was able to find something she would eat. Along with managing the number of treats Baylee received, Kellie took Baylee for numerous walks (I think daily), that we think our dog lost weight - which was desperately needed. We are continuing with Kellie's start to a new regimen for Baylee in hopes of making her healthier. Thanks for everything, Kellie!!”
“Always trust Lainey with my girl! She has taken care of her as she has grown up and has gotten to know my puppy so well! My dog gets to go on vacation when she boards with her!”
“I'm super pleased to have chosen Teresa and Scott for my dog boarding. This was our, me and Marcys first experience and we are beyond satisfied. I now feel confident that if I need to board Marcy again I will feel at ease boarding Marcy with Teresa and Scott.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Joseph on Rover is $58.83 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 91 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Joseph. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Joseph 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 Joseph.
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 Joseph 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.
