“We cannot put into words how much peace of mind we receive when leaving our sometimes-anxious pup in the care of Kazuhiro and Akemi. Their regular updates and photos/videos are invaluable and beyond appreciated. Cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“We have used Rover for a number of sitters and walkers in the past, and Janette and Charlie are the first ones we've used more than once! They send a ton of photos and videos, and are incredibly flexible with drop-offs/pickups. I know my dog is always in good hands whenever she stays with them!”

“Rima is amazing with Milo. Our dog is a senior and is not the easiest to care for but Rima always finds a way to get along with him and takes the best care of him. We are always at peace leaving him with her while on vacation. We always get updates and pictures of how he's doing and it's very nice to say the least. It's been few times Milo stayed with Rima and few other dog pals and he loves her dearly. Always looking forwards in staying with her again. Thank you for all you do for Milo, Rima and know you are a savior who allows this family to vacation in peace.”

“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!”

“Thank you Bridget for taking care of Albert! Bridget was great with our nervous and slow paced dog. She provided lots of updates and pictures which took our minds off his care while we were traveling. It was great to have peace of mind with Bridget taking care of our pup.”

“Ian is incredible — very professional, easy to communicate with pre-stay, and took wonderful care of our Leo! Especially appreciate the many many photos he shared, so we could see how much fun he was having!”

“Sophia and David did an amazing job taking care of our baby Bella. They continually keep us updated and they truly made her feel at home. We would certainly recommend their services to anyone.”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Rocky! She treated him like he was part of her own family, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear from every message how much she genuinely cared about him. We never had to wonder how he was doing because she kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would gladly trust Sarah with Rocky again. Highly recommend!”

In addition to dog care, I also offer drop-in visits for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, fresh water, and plenty of attention.

“You can tell Abaigaels home is filled with love and I had no doubt my dog (aka my baby who I’m very nervous to leave somewhere) was well taken care of. I received lots of updates and saw all the snuggles and pampering my dog received. I wasn’t sure if he was going to want to come home. 5 Stars will definitely be a return customer!!”

“Cary was great with my dog! Very friendly, calm and accommodating! I was nervous about finding someone to watch my dog for me, she has strong opinions about people and doesn't like everyone, but she warmed right up to Cary, we had no issues at all!”

“Second time we took Jessy to Karin, he just went straight in and did not look back, usually he does not want to be left places. Both times he was calm and happy once we picked him up, though he often has anxiety problems. Happy dog, happy us. Thank you Karin.”
“Laura and Vldimir were great host and I can tell Ruby enjoyed her stay while she was there. They also sent out photos so I can see how Ruby was doing while she was staying with them. I would totally book them again for Ruby.”

“Joerg & Lake are Chico's favorite persons. He gets really excited when we get there because he has such a great time. Lizzie their pup is his best friend. I travel a lot and I'm always confident that he is in the best care and loving hands. They are gold stars.”

“Amalia is the best! She is great with dogs - my 6 year old spaniel was wagging her tail and super comfortable from the moment we met (which isn’t typical). Amalia is extremely reliable, communicates regularly and just a really great person. I highly recommend Amalia and we plan to use her services whenever we need daycare or boarding. I am so grateful to have found such a reliable and responsible sitter.”

“1st time leaving my dog with complete strangers but when I tell you, it was the best decision we made. When I walked into their home to dropped my dog off, there was such a calmness I felt, all nervousness disappeared immediately. My dog was loved and well taken care of, we got daily updates and pictures from the family. I will 100% have them sit my dog again.”

“This was my first time using Rover, which I was pretty nervous about since I usually have a family member watch my dog. Sandra and Sorin were very friendly sitters. They took excellent care of my dog and sent me cute photos and videos of my dog. Mikey had a great time with them. I will be recommending them again in the near future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Skokie
Usually our boys are wining and panting when we pick them up. With Myriam, they did the opposite and hesitated leaving. Myriam did very well taking care of our two little ones and sharing updates/pictures every day. This was our first booking with her and she exceeded our expectations!

Emily and Lauren took absolutely wonderful care of Margot while we were away. Their daily updates and amazing photos gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It felt like a vacation for Margot too, we think, because she had a spacious yard to run around in and enjoy, especially compared to her normal city life! Margot came home happy, healthy, and clearly very well cared for. We’re so very grateful and would absolutely trust them with her again!

This was my first time using Rover, which I was pretty nervous about since I usually have a family member watch my dog. Sandra and Sorin were very friendly sitters.

We had our little Dachshund boarded with Kazuhiro & Akemi and found them to be extremely responsive, responsible and easy to work with. With lots of photos daily showing walks, playing and rest time, we felt reassured that our little sausage was being well looked after. I feel very comfortable recommending them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Skokie on Rover is $68.57 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,217 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Skokie. About 91% of Skokie sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
