“Rebeca did an outstanding job with our nervous puppy. She was very patient with his puppy energy even as our dog unfortunately was not very well behaved. Rebeca did a great job keeping us up to date on everything going on and sent us lots of pictures. I would highly recommend for anyone needing dog watching services.”
“Undra took such wonderful care of our babygirl Mala during our 4½-day trip (Wednesday through Sunday afternoon). From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. She kept us updated every single day with adorable pictures and videos, which really meant a lot while we were away. It was clear Mala was happy, comfortable, and being treated like part of the family. One of the sweetest touches was hearing how Undra’s 2-year-old daughter bonded with Mala — playing with her and even reading to her. Absolutely adorable and so heartwarming to see. You can tell Undra genuinely cares, and that kind of attention and love is hard to find. We’re truly grateful for the care she provided. We will definitely be using Undra’s services again for our future mini getaways.”
“Sandra & Sorin and family were amazing. They did everything possible to help my little Mini Schnauzer feel comfortable and part of the family. Pepper was confused when we dropped her off, but they gave her lots of comfort. Pepper was glad to see us, but not desperate like she has been at boarding kennels. We look forward to having Sandra & Sorin take care of her again in their safe, loving home. I highly recommend Sandra & Sorin for excellent, caring dog boarding and daycare.”
“once again SO grateful for Joerg and Lake taking Luna in!! they watched her over christmas and even got her something to open for christmas morning since they always have something for their pup that morning too. they take such good care of her every time she stays with them and she is always so tired from all of the playing with their dog Lizzy! she has had some issues with eating recently and when she ran out of the chicken breast I brought for her to mix with her food they gave her some wet food to help her stay interested in eating and even gave me a package of the same kind to keep mixing in once we were back home. Joerg and Lake are stand up humans and I am so grateful any time Luna gets to stay with them!”
About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.
“Sophie (and Sean) did an amazing job watching our senior dog Whimsy! He had a great time and came back very relaxed and happy! We really appreciated all the photos and text updates about our boy ☺️”
“Rico and his family are great. They always take excellent care of Rye, and this past weekend was no exception. Rye came to them with some stomach issues, but they were still willing to watch him and took such great care of him! He loves being at their home.”
“Julia was absolutely wonderful. I had to adjust Luna’s boarding reservation with her several times due to changes in my work schedule, and she was consistently communicative and very understanding of my situation. During Luna’s stay, she kept me well updated and showed genuine care for her. I always knew Luna was in very good hands and well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with her again whenever Luna needs boarding.”
“Hi , Kichu had a great time with Mario. He texted me and also replied my text in a timely manner so I could solve the problem easily . I was able to enjoy my trip peacefully. He sent me Kichu’s pictures and videos.I highly consider Mario next time. Thank you for your service.”
“Carly did an amazing job with our dog Ivy. She was happy and comfortable which we got to see with every picture and video Carly sent. We are happy to have found someone who loves our dog like we do. Will be recommending Carly to all of our friends!”
“I highly recommend Olga for her pet sitting services. She took amazing care of our dog, Zoey. She played with her and took Zoey on a lot of walks (which she loves). Her communication was great- she sent daily video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind… Zoey looked like she was having the best time. We can’t wait to have Olga watch Zoey again!”
“Susan was fantastic with Gryffin! She sent plenty of updates throughout the visit and was clearly focused on making his time away more like an extended vacation with plenty of toys and playtime other pups. I would have Gryff stay with her again any time.”
“Huactemo and the team watched Louie again this week, and as always, it was a great experience. Their reliability really stands out—every stay is consistent, smooth, and stress-free, which makes traveling so much easier for me. Louie was well cared for the entire time and got plenty of social interaction, which I really appreciate. It’s clear they make an effort to keep him engaged and comfortable, not just watched. I also received regular updates throughout the stay with notes on how Louie was doing and his behavior, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I came back to a happy, relaxed dog once again. I truly appreciate the consistency and care—highly recommend!”
“We had the absolute best experience with Mia’s sitter. She was simply amazing, sending us regular pictures and updates, giving Mia a bath, making sure she was well fed, and treating her with so much care and attention. Mia clearly loved her home and her four-day mommy, and we felt completely at ease the entire time.”

Ella and Sidney took great care of my dog Sugar! They kept me up to date with photos and text messages for the 3 nights they had her. It’s always a little nerve racking leaving your baby in someone else care that you don’t know and someone your pup doesn’t know either, but it was all good. Thanks again Ella & Sidney !!
This was our.. I lost count of how many times we had our dogs stay with Thao, and I must say she is awesome every single time. She always updates, always sends pictures, and makes sure the dogs are entertaining and having fun. On the way back home, they both passed out in my car.

Katelyn was so warm and responsive throughout the entire boarding process. She has a clear affinity and appreciation for cats, which is so important to us in a sitter. We felt completely confident that our cats were in good, loving hands, and were thrilled to see the daily updates and photos she shared from their stay. 100% would recommend.
We used to leave our dog at a large dog boarding place when traveling, and she would be grouped with so many different dogs that I can tell she was traumatized and often took days to be back to her normal carefree self (and she would have dog drooling all over her). This time under Nancyanne’s care our dog was able to stick to a routine similar to at home, and I can tell she was quite comfortable and after 9 days it was seamless that her demeanor was like she never left home. We would happily recommend Nancyanne to anyone who needs help.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 5,291 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Winnetka. About 90% of Winnetka 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.
