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.

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.

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!

Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I am committed to providing the highest level of care for every pet I welcome into my home. I understand that every dog is unique, which is why I tailor my care to each pet’s size, age, health, energy level, and individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re on their own vacation while staying with my family! I provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for. I also carefully follow all owner instructions because I know how important consistency and trust are when it comes to your pet’s care. I have an 15 year-old Brittany Spaniel who is friendly and well-trained. Your dog will have companionship and plenty of opportunities to socialize, play, and have fun. 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’ll receive updates and photos after every visit. What Your Dog Can Expect During Their Stay: Plenty of exercise, walks, and potty breaks Constant supervision and human interaction A safe, loving, family environment Freedom to roam indoors (no crating unless requested by the owner) Daily photos, videos, and updates The typical daily routine includes: Morning walk Midday potty break Afternoon walk and playtime Evening walk I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and treat them like a member of our family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! This is my full-time job! I have more than 20 years experience training, walking, and boarding dogs of all sizes. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, and I always give my best to make sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s size, age, health, energy level, and individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. 🐾 My home has a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. In addition to enjoying outdoor time in the yard, they’ll also receive daily walks to keep them happy, active, and engaged. 🐾

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!!

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.

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!

FAQs for Boarding - Skokie

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.
