About: Looking for a cage-free, stress-free weekend stay for your pup? As a retired first responder, a lifelong dog lover, and a Pet First Aid/CPR-certified caregiver, I offer a secure, highly dependable home-away-from-home experience. All Ages Welcome: From energetic puppies who need constant supervision to sweet seniors requiring gentle, patient care. Constant Companionship: I'm retired and home full-time, so your dog is never left alone. Doorstep Shuttles: Free up your travel day! I can handle local pick-up and drop-off. Total Comfort: No rooms or furniture (including my bed!) are off-limits. Safe Play: Large, fully fenced-in yard perfect for sunbathing and zoomies. Friendly Housemates: Shared with my calm, elderly beagle Penelope and Emma the parakeet. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet before your next trip! Being retired means my day completely revolves around your pet's needs. From morning yard zoomies to afternoon sunbathing and evening couch cuddles, your dog joins my calm daily routine and receives 100% of my time, love, and constant supervision. I will treat your dog like a true member of the family. Your pup will enjoy a cage-free stay with open access to all furniture, personalized attention, regular potty breaks in my securely fenced yard, and a cozy spot on my bed every single night.
“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.”
“Jill and her family welcomed Bailey into their home and treated him as their own. They were attentive to his needs as a senior dog, including giving oral medicine. I could tell he was well brushed and cared for when I picked him up. Her large yard was perfect for him. Jill had clearly gotten attached to him. She was always very responsive whenever I texted. I would book with Jill again.”
“Rachel was so amazing to our pup Ryder! She sent us great updates and gave us peace of mind that our boy was left in good hands. He was so loved and spoiled. We will definitely be using Rachel again in the future!”
“Thank you June and Wade for taking good care of our dog for a long week+ vacation. Thank you for daily pics and updates on how she adjusted over the time. Grateful for her being able to relax at your home, giving me peace of mind.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased, and we feel relieved and grateful to have found Stella and her family. We love receiving her photos and updates, and the pickup and drop off process is seamless.”
“Kim is amazing and took care of our Goldendoodle puppy very well. She’s very patient and send us many updates with photos and videos. Our dog came back to us clean and happy. I trust Kim with my baby boy and I can leave him with 100% peace of mind.”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Byron and Martha are the best. They took really good care of our dog Noki. They followed up each day with photos and followed all instructions for care. Will be reaching out again for his service thru Rover. For sure a 5 star sitter. Thanks again!”
“Thank you so much for taking Maple on such short notice. Five stars are simply not enough to describe the wonderful experience we had. It was comforting to see that Maple had a loving home away from home. She clearly enjoyed playing in the fenced yard with Sadie, and I truly appreciated the frequent communication and photos you shared. It was great to see her receiving so much love and attention. I will definitely be using your services again.”
“Our Teddy had a great time with Jacob and his dog Murphy! It was our first time to board our dog and I was very worried being gone for a long time and hike it would affect him. Jacob is very experienced and took good care of Teddy and sent pics and videos. I could enjoy our vacation knowing he was being well cared for, safe, and getting stimulation. He came home unphased by our absence and in good spirits. I would recommend Jacob!!”
“Absolutely lovely working with Angela on taking care of our pup, Izzy. She was super helpful in meeting before our first time leaving Izzy with her and giving her time to get used to her place and other dogs. Butterscotch and Lucky are super sweet and I think Izzy really loved having some buddies to spend time with! Would definitely recommend.”
“Dickson is a very caring dog sitter. He did everything he could to make my bulldog feel comfortable and have fun. He gives video and picture updates of their adventures. I would absolutely have him watch my dog again!”
“Another wonderful stay with Jackie and her family! Our dog Ivy is treated like one of their own dogs and we appreciate that! We also love getting videos and pictures daily!”
“Carolyn was great with Samson. She was able to accomodate a last min booking. The communication was great and appreciated all of the pictures on his stay. Highly recommended.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wonder Lake
Dallas was absolutely incredible with our dog Goose!! He stayed with them for 4 days while we had our wedding and it looked like he had the best time. She was so accommodating and was able to give him his meds every morning and even took care of a scratch on his leg that he came to her with. She sent photo updates every day. Their house is awesome- a renovated barn that sits on a bunch of land for him to explore. He came home so tired and happy. Would 1000% recommend her and her husband to watch your dog, you can tell they really care and treat your animal as their own. Thank you guys!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wonder Lake on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 884 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wonder Lake. 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.
91% of Wonder Lake 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 Wonder Lake 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 Wonder Lake 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 Wonder Lake.
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 Wonder Lake 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.
