“Roman was Charise’s first ever Rover dog and we were really happy to have connected with her for our 5-day trip. Charise was a great sitter—she sent detailed updates about how Roman was doing with Navi and hope he was settling in while we were away. Her home is very clean and Charise is a very warm and welcoming host. Navi is just the cutest little nugget ever, and I could tell immediately Roman would feel right at home with Charise. Our big GSD is a big baby and throws a bit of a fit every time we leave, but Charise and Navi were patient with him while he warmed up to the idea of us being away—by the time we returned, he was fully integrated into their little family. Roman is allowed on the couch and bed for cuddles, and Charise has a full basement for the dogs to run around and play, a small yard, and she takes them together on long walks. Roman came home fully pooped from a week of playing with Navi and we’ll definitely be using Charise in the future!”
“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.”
“Fozzie took to Makda straight away. She allowed Fozzie to sleep in a family bed and honored all requests re walks and treats. Lovely house and neighborhood good for walks and back yard bathroom breaks. Fozzie had a good 4 night break. Ask Makda if there will be another dog there, I wasn’t aware there may be - I hadn’t checked the box req house with no other dog. When I enquired after pick up, I was very satisfied that all was well even though Fozz can be anxious around other dogs. Would definitely recommend.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Marley and Mikey were well taken care of as usual. They love it here. Always am at ease with their care which is important. Marley and Mikey get plenty of exercise, love and care. I love all the pictures I get throughout their stay.”
“Remi had a great time with John and Ryan and they updated me with pictures every day! She came back sleepy and content. I'll definitely have her stay with them again if I go out of town!”
“Had Chad again take care of my girl, Olive. As always, Chad and his wife take such good care of her and they are incredibly flexible, easy-going, and responsible. They are great!”
“Abigail was awesome. I have an older dog and am always worried about leaving her. Abigail was so kind and sent many photos treating her like her own. Definitely will you her again and recommend to anyone❤️”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. As a pet owner and foster caregiver, I’ve cared for pets with all kinds of personalities, from energetic puppies who love adventure… to cuddle bugs who just want company. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and patient. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Expect lots of affection, playtime, and photo updates! 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with extra flexibility on evenings, weekends, and holiday weekends. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable and at home. My home is full of animal lovers, and visiting pets are welcomed as part of the family. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels and always prioritize safety, supervision, and comfort. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I’ll provide lots of love, attention, and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands.
“Lauriann and Sven were wonderful sitters! They sent pictures and updates every day. They made sure my Shar-Pei mix felt comfortable through the rain and fireworks, which she can get anxiety about. I felt so safe leaving her in their care and I would definitely book them again.”
“Jackie is amazing. This is my third time using her and I couldn’t be happier. She sends tons of videos and updates, which really puts my mind at ease, and it’s obvious how well she takes care of Teddy. He’s always happy, relaxed, and clearly loved when he’s with her. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”
“Abigail and Chris were wonderful with Buzz and Buzz had a GREAT time! When I picked him up and walked him towards my car, he actually wanted to turn around and go back to their place because that's how comfortable he was! I am very grateful for finding these two and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a loving sitter and home for their baby. Thank you both so much for all the updates throughout and taking such good care of him!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats at home. Right now I share my life with Mazapán, my one-year-old toy poodle, so I understand firsthand how much energy, patience, and love a young pup needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with the same attention, playtime, and care. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m flexible during the week and available for walks, visits, or boarding on weekends too. Since I live with my own dog, your pet will always have company and won’t be left alone for long stretches. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I keep a calm, clean home environment and I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs your pet may have. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I’m comfortable handling different personalities and making sure every pet feels relaxed and cared for, whether in my home or yours.
“Sky was the absolute bestttt with my dog while she spent the week with her. Great communicator and very understanding. My dog had so much fun, she came back home so worn out. Definitely booking her again soon!”
“Elva took great care of my dog, Hallie! She’s a young dog with lots of energy and Elva happily played with her and set lots of photo and video updates. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

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!
Debbie was so amazing with Teddy, and he’s not the easiest dog. She really understood him and his quirks. I really appreciated her communication- I got lots of updates, photos, videos, messages, etc. She really put me at ease while I was gone. Teddy looked relaxed and happy in all the photos. He really made himself comfortable in her home and yard. He seemed very happy and well cared for when I picked him up. I should also mention that this was a very last minute booking as the sitter I had originally booked canceled on short notice, Debbie jumped in without hesitation. I will definitely book Debbie again!
It was so nice to have a trusted sitter while we were away for 5 days. Our dog Hoagie was clearly happy and comfortable with Sheri. I’m not even sure he missed us! Sheri communicated us before and during his stay and was always very professional and friendly. She’s a true pro sitter. Highly recommended!
We cannot thank Doug & Deb enough for looking after our dog, Taz. We had to rush to the hospital to have our baby, and they stepped in immediately to help. They came and picked Taz up, which took a massive weight off our shoulders during a very stressful and exciting moment. Throughout his stay, they sent regular updates and photos, keeping us completely at ease while we were in the hospital. Taz was treated like family and received the absolute best care. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable, and compassionate pet sitters. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Ms Marianne took care of our 15 year old Snowie while we are away. Caring for a senior dog requires extra patience, attention and compassion, and they exceeded our expectations. She kept us updated with photos and made sure our Snowie was comfortable and well looked after. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. Snowie came home happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. We are incredibly grateful and happily recommend them to anyone.
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.
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.
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!

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.
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.

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.
