“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences.

“Cari did an amazing job we were able to go over there a week before and have a little mini playdate to meet her and her family and that made it so much more comfortable for me to leave my two babies behind for a few days.

I found Michelle and she was quick to respond and accept my fur babies for the stay! Michelle and her 2 little girls took AMAZING care of them, sending update reports and pics too. This gave me peace of mind that they were being well cared for! Michelle was also very accommodating when I needed to drop them off early than originally scheduled. I will definitely be utilizing Michelle's services again in the future!”

Lauren has taken care of my dog Kylo, three times and I couldn't be happier with her care. Lauren is an amazing dog sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving Kylo with her. Since Kylo is diabetic it is especially important that he stays on his feeding schedule and receives his insulin injections on time, and Lauren is incredibly responsible and attentive to his needs. She provides multiple updates throughout the day, including pictures, detailed messages and even Wooftrax updates so I know how long his walks are. Kylo is very comfortable with her, and she does such a wonderful job of making him feel safe and cared for. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a trustworthy and caring dog sitter for our baby. We truly appreciate everything Lauren does for our precious pup and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.
Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
We had such a wonderful experience with Susseth! She took amazing care of both our senior dog and our kitten, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent regular photos and updates, which we absolutely loved, and she was incredibly caring and attentive to both of them. She was also very accommodating when our schedule changed, which we really appreciated. It was clear that our pets were in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter!
So grateful for Tamara and her pups! It’s a fun vacation for Wiggles every time she stays with them. Wiggles, unfortunately, wore a cone and itchy paws when we dropped her off and Tamara was so helpful making sure she had her medicine 2x a day and topical on Wiggles. When we returned, Wiggles was feeling so much better! 💖
Michelle was prompt in communicating whenever something came up with Bramble that she needed clarification on. She was quick to respond for all the administrative arranging also. She was easy-going and calm. Bramble seemed comfortable being with her. I got daily photos to enjoy. I believe people would be very satisfied and secure leaving their pet with Michelle. I was!
Athena is BEYOND WONDERFUL. I was driving into Chicago from out of town, only about 90 minutes away from dropping my pups off with their original sitter when he had to cancel. Immediately, I went into solution mode, scrambling to find someone to care for my three babies. Athena responded promptly and swooped in to help on extremely short notice. Athena was trustworthy, sent lots of photo updates, and my pups took to her right away. They clearly enjoyed exploring her fenced backyard and seemed completely comfortable in her care. When I picked them up, we talked for quite a while, and I was so grateful that she answered the call when I needed help. She is truly a kind soul with a sweet spirit, and I genuinely feel like God placed her on our path. She is so loving and treats my babies like they are on vacation; I call her home Disney World! 🤣
Olivia kept my baby Leah for the weekend while I went out of town, and I was honestly nervous because anyone who knows me knows how I feel about my baby. But Olivia was amazing. She sent tons of pictures and updates the whole time, which really helped me relax. She even gave Leah extra treats and sent her home with some too. I ended up needing to extend my trip unexpectedly, and Olivia was super understanding and flexible about it. That meant a lot to me. Leah was clearly well taken care of and loved while she was there. Olivia will forever be my baby’s home whenever I’m away. I’m so grateful I found her!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Summit on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,274 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Summit. 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 Summit 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 Summit 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 Summit 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 Summit.
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 Summit 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.
