“Thao was amazing! She agreed to take in Benji at the last minute. We received pictures throughout his stay. I can't thank Thao enough for taking great care of our precious Benjamin.”
“Sydney gets great care and loads of love from Kristina. I know she is in good hands when I away and she is with Kristina. Sydney is a frequent visitor and she'll be back again. Thank you Kristina.”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Kimberly made it really easy! She answered all our questions and met our dog in advance of her stay to make sure she would be comfortable. Our dog was clean and well cared for and happy upon her return. We would be glad to book with Kimberly again!”
“Jeff and Ron took care of our standard, 4 1/2 year old Bernedoodle. It was our first time leaving her and we were cautious in who we chose to care for her. Jeff. And Ron lived up to their highly rated reviews! We set up a meet and greet and also decided to have our pup spend a day with them before leaving on our 4 day getaway. Jeff’s friendly demeanor with us and our pup put our minds at ease. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands!”
“We had a wonderful experience with them. They provided daily pictures and videos to update us on how our pup was doing. He was cared for so well. We would definitely use them again in the future!”
“Janette and Charlie watched our dog for the first time last week while we were on vacation. They were flexible with our schedule, and sent lots of pictures and videos so we could keep up on how Sadie was doing. She had a great week with them!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing! She took my girl Luna on a last minute notice, and treated my dog like her own. She sent me several updates and made sure my dog was having a great stay. She also gifted Luna with a ball which was really nice. So thankful to have found a great sitter. Thank you julia!”
“Tully has stayed with Rico three times now, and each time she comes home totally exhausted and unbelievably happy. Rico sends a ton of pictures, gives her plenty of walks, lets her explore the backyard, and generally just gives her (and us!) a wonderful experience. We can’t recommend him and his family enough for your dog-sitting needs!”
“I had a last minute change of plans and needed to find someone to care for my dog with only a few hours notice. Cynthia said “yes” immediately. When I arrived she gave me a tour of her home, where my dog would stay and her planned routine. She took my number to stay in touch and everything went very well. Two days later I picked up my happy and well cared for dog.”
“Deb & Doug are great! This was Jenny's 4th stay since May. She loves the attention. I'm happy that I can travel knowing that my highly dog-reactive baby is safe and secure. Jenny says see you soon - kisses and cuddles!”
“Marija was amazing! Our pup( senior dog) was unexpectedly just off of major surgery and barely off of restricted activity. And she made sure everything was perfect for him. She gave us daily updates many pictures. He was the happiest dog ever to have playmates. She has a lot of dogs come in and out, but they’re all really friendly. Highly recommend.”
“Once again Joerg and Lake, and Lizzie, took excellent care of Riley. It was more difficult this time because her mobility is getting worse with age. I know she's always in good hands when I leave her the with them.”
“Susan was fantastic with Gryffin! She sent plenty of updates throughout the visit and was clearly focused on making his time away more like an extended vacation with plenty of toys and playtime other pups. I would have Gryff stay with her again any time.”
“Laura and Vladimir were great! I was gone for about two weeks and they sent me pictures and updates on my pup Roy. This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but I knew that Roy was in excellent hands ❤️. Thank you!”
“Nicky was great with our Frenchie. Lots of communication and photos. Would recommend if you need someone that can care for a fussy dog that needs lots of attention!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Skokie
We really appreciated Sandra and Sorin's care for our dog August. I enjoyed our meet and greet to make sure we were a good fit for our dog and theirs. Our dog, August, is a high energy guy that needs lots of stimulation and Sandra and Sorin did a lot of activities to support August while we were gone. They provided daily updates and communication. I would highly recommend Sandra and Sorin.
We left our dog, Winston, with Cheri for a weekend away, and it was a wonderful experience. We were a little nervous leaving him for the first time since he’s still a puppy, but Cheri immediately put our minds at ease. Winston was very well cared for, and Cheri kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Winston with Cheri again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.
Skippy thoroughly enjoyed his time with Cynthia. She was so welcoming and a wonderful communicator with daily photos and comments that reflected how well she got to know our Yorkie. We all look forward to future visits where we won’t have to worry about the care our dog is receiving. 5 star plus!!!!!!
Abaigael was amazing with Aya! She sent frequent updates and I could tell from the pictures that Aya was so happy with her and her family! Super friendly and communicative, I'm super grateful to know Aya was in great company! Oh and she has the cutest pup! Thanks again!
Jennifer took care of our exuberant shepherd mix for a week while we were out of town. She was always communicative and flexible with dropoff and pickup. We never had any worries and he always is excited to visit Jennifer. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!
We had a wonderful experience with Rima! She took great care of our dogs, Milo and Oreo, and our cat, Cleo, while we were away. They were all very happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She treated them like her own and gave us peace of mind throughout the stay. We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave them, and we would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Karla did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucky. We’ve only had Lucky for a few months, and as a rescue from Texas, he has a lot of separation anxiety. Karla was very understanding and made him feel relaxed and at home, while also being patient with all of his little foibles. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. She also has a great setup for dogs, including a large long condo with plenty of space for running around. We would definitely recommend Karla to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Skokie on Rover is $68.83 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 5,216 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Skokie. 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.
94% of Skokie 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 Skokie 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 Skokie 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 Skokie.
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 Skokie 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.
