“This was our first stay with Justine and Brett. They watched my 13 year old Golden for 4 days. Everything from initial contact with Justine, to picking up my pup later than expected after a flight delay of three hours, went very smoothly. She sent pictures to me while I was away…gave morning medication, and stayed in touch throughout the time I was gone. KC will definitely go back the next time mom needs to leave town. 😊🐶. Thank you Justine and Brett!”
“This family was wonderful with our Maizie!! She has never been away from us and they made it so comfortable for her. They definitely went above and beyond for her stay and we could not be more grateful!!”
“Amberley was wonderful - communicative, flexible, incredibly kind and took wonderful care of Wrigley on short notice. We especially appreciated photos and updates and the frequent walks and outside time he got in her care. So thankful!”
“Michelle and her family took excellent care of my nervous pup. She went above and beyond making him comfortable, giving him lots of walks, and even gave him a bath when he needed it. Would definitely book again!”
“Alexandria was absolutely amazing with our puppy! We needed someone super last minute while being out of town and she was willing to go above and beyond to pick him up and take care of him! She made sure to send plenty of pictures, videos, and updates which I loved! I could tell Koda was really happy with her and had a lot of fun which put me at ease! I’d definitely recommend her to anyone I know because of how great she was. I can tell she has a real passion for animals which is so important when you’re leaving your pet with someone!”
“Ziggy had another great weekend stay at Scott's. His wife and he are wonderful. I always receive daily pictures and updates. I know my little Yorkie is being well cared for whenever he stays with Scott.”
“Robert did a great job with our weimaraner Geddy. He gave him lots of good exercise and worked with Geddy’s quirks. Robert kept us updated throughout our trip. I would highly recommend him and we will definitely plan to use him in the future. Thanks for everything Robert.”
“Susan was SOOO good with our lil doggies (brother and sister Yorkies). She sent updates and pics, clearly communicated with me before drop off and made me feel completely at ease. Our dogs are used to being around people all the time and Susan made sure they felt at home. I knew they were in good hands, well taken care of and snuggled! Highly recommend Susan.”
“Kent was amazing with our Susie! He has so much compassion and love to give. He only takes one dog at a time so he can give all his attention to her. I highly recommend him!”
“Darrilyn took good care of my 15-month-old husky. Ocho had so much fun playing with other dogs under the care of Darrilyn. Thank you, Darrilyn, for sending those precious pictures while Ocho is boarded there. We are so lucky to find such an experienced and loving sitter who is nearby. Thank you Darrilyn for a wonderful experience for Ocho!”
“Another great boarding experience with Will! I think our dog likes being with Will better than us! Will always responds quickly and communicates often with us when caring for our dog. It's such a comfort knowing Jackie is being well-cared for. If I had small children, I'd feel confident leaving them with Will too!”
“We boarded our 1 year old vizsla with Greg and Sonia. They were patient with him as he adjusted to a new house and kept him busy with trips to the dog park and playing in their fenced in backyard. Their dog, Sam, is a friendly golden retriever who appears to play well with all dogs. They provided daily pictures and updates.”
“Jean and Al are amazing. My puppy had a wonderful time playing in their huge yard and enjoying all the fun and attention. They provided great updates and pictures of my little guy, and I could see how very happy he was, especially with all the belly rubs ☺️. Thanks so much for taking wonderful care of my little boy, I'll definitely bring him back!!!”
“New dog mom and first time Rover user and so so happy that my first connection was Beth! From the start of the conversation through booking she was so helpful and really put my mind at ease!! Canon loved his time with Beth and her family!! Beth provided daily updates and pictures which we loved seeing. Between Beth, her kids and her dog Rai, Canon got lots of love and attention!! And plenty of running around. Boy slept so good the night we picked him up. We would highly recommend Beth and would definitely use her again!!”
“Keith was great with our French bulldog. Very responsive, clean home, and super easy to work with while we went away for a week long vacation. Will definitely use again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wheaton
Amanda and Anton were great with Leo, and they accommodated a last minute request which I really appreciated. They sent pictures to keep us updated. At pick up time, Leo wanted to go back in the house which told me that even though this was his first time with them, he felt very comfortable and enjoyed his time with Amanda and Anton. Highly recommend!
I am so happy to have found Lynda. She took great care of Fontaine while I was on vacation. I had made other plans for him then I found out that he had diabetes. I was gone for 11 days and I was so glad to find someone who was comfortable giving Fontaine his shots. I also appreciate that Lynda wanted to meet Fontaine before my trip. It let me know that she was serious and wanted to make sure that it was a good match. I would highly recommend Lynda. She is definitely a dog lover and will care for your pet as if they were her own.
Thrudy & her boys took wonderful care of Poppy! She kept us updated with photos of walks at a local park and the lake. Poppy seemed at ease from the start. It was obvious that her kids also love dogs. Knowing our pup was in good care gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!
Kelly & Tariq were wonderful. We left our 2 girls with them for the weekend and we really didn’t worry about them at all, we knew they were in great hands!! We did get nice updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will absolutely use them again when we need!!
Natalie was great with our dog while we were out of town. He got along great with her cats and we got plenty of pictures while we were gone of him living his best life looking relaxed and happy. We’d definitely book with Natalie again if she’s available next time we’re traveling!
It was so nice having Karen watch my dog, Libby. I really appreciated that she took the time to learn about Libby’s personality and did her best to keep her routine fun and as close to home as possible. Karen was kind, caring, and communicative throughout the stay, which gave me peace of mind. She was also very flexible with both dropoff and pickup times, and I really appreciated that. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Christine took amazing care of our dog Simon! She went above and beyond to make sure he was given lots of love, and was energized with daily walks and enrichment. She was very attentive to his needs and sent regular updates, putting our minds at ease to know he was in good hands and well cared for throughout his stay. Christine was the absolute best!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wheaton is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Wheaton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wheaton 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 Wheaton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheaton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Wheaton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
