“Sophie was awesome! She and her boyfriend watched my two small pups when I took a last minute trip. She was communicative and easy to schedule with. I could tell immediately upon meeting her that it was a great choice as my dogs appeared to bond with her immediately. She sent pictures and updates to me throughout their stay. When I picked them up it was obvious they had been doted on and adored the whole weekend and they were happy. I would love to book with Sophie again.”
“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!”
“Abaigael and her family were great hosts! Lots of updates, walks, and dedicated play time/exercise. She was super responsive and understanding as I had a last second booking. Would not hesitate to return or recommend her services.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing! She sent regular updates and even taught my puppy how to use the stairs. She has an awesome backyard and cozy home for pets to enjoy and lots of experience, she even has a vet background the moment she held my puppy she knew he had a hernia which I did not even know until a vet told me and I did not inform her she was smart enough to notice on her own.”
“Svetlana is awesome! She accommodated my last minute request (holiday request) and was so fast with communication (also so flexible with timing). I also loved the daily updates with photos. She took great care of my little guy and explained all the details of his bevahiour which helps me with his training. He definitely had a good time. I would recommend her highly to anyone and would for sure bring my guy back again. Thanks so much Svetlana!”
“Best match! So so so happy we met Shak through Rover. Nearby location, super professional and attentive. We l9ved Shaks communication and picture videos and details. Thank you Shak for loving and caring for Hershey better than we could have imagined. Appreciate you accommodating his quirkiness too.”
“Amalia was wonderful with Cashew. She gets dogs - all types - and my dachshund can be demanding of attention. She understood him immediately! Also she's a nice person too!”
“Maria was the best and took care of baby boy. I felt at peace and enjoyed my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She provided photos and videos. I will definitely book again.”
“Ian took SUCH good care of my 1.5 year old bernedoodle for 3 weeks when I was traveling for work. I had so much peace of mind knowing my pup was getting lots of care, play time and super long, scenic walks every day! Ian was super communicative and sent pictures of Banksy multiple times a day, which I very much appreciated. He told me about the couple of other dogs that he watched as well and how Banksy got along with each. Ian really is thoughtful about how the dogs interact together and makes sure they have safe, supervised play and will give them space, if needed. I know Banks absolutely LOVED being there and was sad to leave! I will 100% be reaching out to Ian the next time I go out of town.”
“Norman’s stay with Naomi and Johann went off without a hitch. He felt at home with them and got along well with Milo. We enjoyed receiving the regular updates and pictures they sent as well!”
“Julia was amazing! Our pup had so much fun. She can be sensitive and Julia was great with understanding her dietary needs, medication, and need to balance activity with rest. We are so excited to have found Julia and Vali can’t wait to go back!”
“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!”
“Sensational!!!! My Nessie was immediately accepted into John and Ryan's healthy and happy home and I am beyond grateful as at the last minute I needed boarding for her with a minor complication. John and Ryan truly are the best and pure animal lovers. THANK YOU TWO!!! Can't say enough~”
“Ella took great care of our dog Sid! She’s very warm and clearly loves dogs. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated the photo updates while we were away. Sid was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“We appreciate the daily updates/photos. Knowing that the boys were comfortable and enjoying their stay with Tammy made us at ease. She's super accommodating and patient.”
“This was our second time leaving our dog Nero with Chad and his wife. Normally he is super anxious about being left behind but was perfectly happy to hop right into their arms at drop off. Received photos/video even though it was a quick 2-nt stay. We know he had fun and was well loved and taken care of.”
“Sophia and Andy are a dream team! This was my first Rover experience, though my sisters have been hosts for many years. Sophia and Andy took such great care of my dog, and sent thoughtful updates and pictures every day. Will definitely use them again.”

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!
Merrick and his wife have been our “go to” care givers for the past few years. Our dog has been well taken care of and feels completely at ease while in their care. They provide a warm and welcoming environment for our pet as well as regular exercise. I appreciate their many pictures and regular updates on our dogs well being. I would highly recommend their services.
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.
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!
Claire has been a wonderful caregiver, tending to the needs of our diabetic pup, Shelly. Claire sent regular updates regarding feeding and medication, as well as photos and updates about how Shelly was doing. We are so grateful to have found Claire - she truly went above and beyond in caring for our beloved pup.

There are 5,278 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.

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.
