“Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!”
“She was great with Capri! Got pictures every day and updates on how she was. Definitely recommend her. She made my first experience with boarding my dog very easy and a breeze.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Debbie and Tom were wonderful to work with and gave my fiancé and I confidence that our dog, Ollie, would be well cared for during our wedding weekend. Debbie and Tom were responsive and flexible with drop-off and pick up times that took some of the stress out of a busy weekend for us. During the meet and greet we were relieved to see that they were calm and clearly dog lovers. Even though Ollie was excited and busy exploring-they reassured us that it was normal for dogs visiting to take a minute to settle down. During his stay, Ollie was very well taken care of and received the activity he needs to be healthy and happy. Debbie and Tom were both very detailed to help accommodate Ollie’s schedule. Not to mention, we were lucky to receive numerous photo updates along the way! I would highly recommend Debbie and Tom to anyone looking for great pet care!”
“Our dog had another wonderful stay — truly like a little vacation! We received daily photos showing our dog happy, relaxed, and clearly enjoying her “vacation.” The communication was excellent, the home environment is warm and safe, and our dog comes back calm and content every time. We’re grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Wonderful Senior Dog Sitting Experience with Beth. We recently hired Beth to dog-sit our two senior dogs. We were truly grateful for her outstanding care. From the moment we initially reached out to her, Beth was kind, attentive, and displayed a genuine love for animals that immediately put us at ease. Given their advanced age, they require very specific care, taking meds, no jumping or stairs, old and set in their ways. Florida pups who hate cold, not wanting to go outside. She followed all of our instructions diligently, ensuring that our dogs' routines and schedules were maintained. Not only did she provide regular updates and photos of our little bears, but she also went above and beyond to engage them and make it a fun experience for them. Upon our return, Char & Hen were visibly happy and content, they wandered happily around her beautiful home as if it was theirs, while we gathered their things, not anxious to leave. Which is a testament to the wonderful care they received from Beth. Beth's kind and nurturing approach to dog sitting truly sets her apart. She not only attended to the basic needs of our dogs and their quirks but also showered them with love and attention, making them feel comfortable and secure in her care. We are incredibly grateful for the peace of mind Beth provided us, and we will undoubtedly be reaching out to her for our future dog-sitting needs. Thank you, Beth, for a fantastic dog-sitting experience!”
“I cannot express my deep gratitude and appreciation for Balaji. He treated my Mocha like a family, she was treated like she is their own. Lots of playtime, exercise and love. As a bonus Mocha found her soul sister in Mocha ( Balaji’s own) .It is like a playdate everyday! He has the ideal set up to host furry babies. He sent me lots of photos throughout the day, it felt like I never left her side. Balaji exceeded our expectations, I think no one can top the services he provides. I picked Mocha up and she looks immaculate and she smells so good, one of the proof she was well taken care of. He even sent toys ( which Mocha adores❤️) and treats. Balaji, you are the best!!!”
“Mabel just loves Norm and Mary. She was able to get tons of exercise. As we live in the UP and still haves tons of snow. Thank you so very much for taking such great care of Mabel.”
“Ruby has stayed with Dickson a few times now and she is always thrilled to go back! She gets a lot of play time outside and on walks, and lots of cuddles when it's time to wind down. Dickson is very caring and attentive and handles her high energy like a pro. I have complete peace of mind knowing she's in terrific hands!”
“Cheryl and Jim were fantastic!! They took great care of our old girl, and treated her like family. She has some specific dietary requirements that they handled perfectly, sharing updates and pictures the whole time we were gone. Great communication, made us feel at ease, and we would not hesitate calling on them again. Highly recommended!!”
“Our dogs had a great time and Chisato treated them like her own. We got tons of pictures and videos of them enjoying their walks and pets while we were on vacation. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Sitter was absolutely fantastic. Very responsive whenever I had a question. Is very knowledgeable about her craft in watching the dogs. Sent me constant updates to let me know when she fed, walked or gave meds to my dog. She has an extreme attention to detail. I mentioned the reason for the sitting and then she messaged us wishing the person a happy birthday and it was very heartfelt. All in all outstanding experience and will use again.”
“Thank you Elaina and Joseph for allowing me to book with a short notice and for being very flexible with dropoff and pickup times. Communication was excellent, constant updates and pictures, and great care. You'll definitely be my sitter of choice when I'm in the area. Thank you!!”
“This is the 2nd time we’ve used Derek for watching our dog Tommy. He is very dependable and I’m really comfortable leaving my dog in his care. I love that he takes Tommy on walks, and he and his family all seem to really enjoy being part of it. We will continue to use him for caring for our dog.”
“Once again, Jessica and her family are the perfect hosts for my Bear. This is the third time he has stayed with him and I can tell he is getting the very best care I could possibly ask for. She’s great about sending pictures and letting me know how things are going. I can’t say enough about Jessica!”
“We could fully enjoy our trip knowing that our baby was well taken care of! Thea treated Pepper like she was her own and was very focused on making sure all the pets got along well. We appreciated the thorough updates and have already booked Pepper's next stay. Thank you Thea!”
“Melody did so amazing at comforting our king and us when we dropped King off! It’s the most comfortable he’s been during a drop off as he usually has anxiety. Communication was great and we loved the pics and videos of the time they spent together. Thank you Melody for taking great care of our fur baby.!”
“Rusty was a great match for our Frankie. At the meet and greet he asked many questions to get to know Frankie's personality. We left him for 10 nights and had daily pictures/movies of Frankie. Frankie is a senior and in the hot days of July his comfort was considered. It was nice to leave him in good care.”

My two pets had a wonderful stay with Michele- per usual! She truly ensures that they feel just like home! They get so much attention, long and frequent walks and so many snuggles! Feels like they are part of her family and that is how they are treated! Michele is our only dog sitter as I can’t imagine anyone else taking care of them when we are gone! She is always helpful and willing to make it work with our schedule. She and Ann are the best!!
She was amazing with my dog—attentive, caring, and reliable. Not only did she take great care of him while I was away, but she also went the extra mile by dropping him off at my friend's house. Truly grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

There are 2,034 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Wauconda. About 92% of Wauconda sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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.
