“Deanne took good care of my dog Dinah and sent me regular updates and pics . I would not hesitate to use her again. It is so nice to find someone you can entrust with the care of a beloved pet”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“My puppy, Corey, stayed at Jackie's home for 6 days while I was on vacation. She sent a bunch of pictures, several each day. Corey did not have to be leashed during his stay much at all, because Jackie has a beautiful fenced in backyard. I feel incredibly grateful to have found her on Rover. I could tell from the pictures that Corey was having so much fun and was in very capable hands. I was able to totally enjoy my vacation. Thank you so much, Jackie!”
“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!”
“Jen took great care of my dogs for 5 days. She sent me updates and pictures every day. One of the dogs had an upset stomach and Jen kept me up to date on how she was doing. She cared for them like her own dog!! I will be booking with her again. I highly recommend!!”

“Kim was great with our dachshund. She’s very caring and communicative. She sent photos and updates so we knew our dog was in good hands. Can’t wait to book again when it’s warm for our dog to run around in her fenced backyard!”
“Carolyn , was amazing with my puppy . It was my first time ever using the app and I felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her . She send me updates about my puppy and made him felt at home . ❤️”
“We had Maverick, our 7 months old Husky, with Shauna & Peter for 10 days..They took such a wonderful care of Maverick and shared many photos and videos every day..They took Maverick for multiple walks and lot of outdoor activities. He was very much loved and enjoyed his stay with Shauna, Peter and their daughters. We are glad we found them on Rover. They are wonderful! I would highly recommend Shauna & Peter and would definitely have them to take care of Maverick next time!”
“My dog had only been boarded once in her life and it wasn't a good experience so I was hesitant about leaving her again. However, Megan's house was a home away from home for her. There were dogs to play with, couches to sleep on come up and a yard to run around in. You could tell right away that Megan loves dogs. She also understood my worry about leaving Riley for a long period of time and sent us many messages, photos, and videos that showed how well she was doing. The next time I need boarding, I would definitely choose Megan.”
“Absolutely the best experience we ever had! Geraldene cared for our elderly pooch like her own. The biggest take away we had was we never had to worry about Tofu while we were gone. Geraldene gave us reassurance and trust, qualities we look for in a sitter. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”

“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were away. Luna has a hard time meeting new people, but she took to Kaitlyn right away, and I can tell that Luna still misses her now that we’re home. Even though our two Labs were not on their best behavior, Kaitlyn handled them patiently and did a wonderful job keeping them calm as best as she could. She also sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful for Kaitlyn’s care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“Unfortunately, our dog was very anxious and having some issues with the other dog when staying with Jeannie, so we had to cut the stay short. Rover refunded me the money for the rest of the say, and then Jeannie went above and beyond and offered to refund the remaining amount! She was so patient with us and with our dog, even though she didn't need to be. I am sad it didn't work out as I think she is a wonderful person and you can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. I think your pet would be in great hands staying with Jeannie.”
“Beth is a wonderful, caring person for your pet. She treats them as her own which gives you peace of mind while you are away that your “baby” is being treated well and loved. I’ve taken my dog there several times and will continue to do so as long as she will let me. 💕”

Erika did a great job watching Lincoln and Bella! She provided daily updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s so clear that Erika and Ryan love dogs, and it's wonderful that they now have their own dog. Even though Chuey wasn't quite sure about our dogs invading his space at first, they eventually got along and even worked out their snuggle time with Erika. It is incredibly comforting to know our dogs are in such good hands with plenty of love and attention while we're away. They will definitely be our go-to sitters!
Truly incredible ❤️ We needed a last-minute sitter for a 1.5 week trip. Makena was miraculously available and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. It’s always a little scary leaving your dog with someone you don’t know, but we did a quick meet and greet ahead of time and then Makena was amazing about sending photos and videos with quick updates over the course of the stay. Our dog was so well cared for and clearly felt loved and cozy in Makena’s home. I’m so so grateful and so sad this was our first and last time with Makena given we’re moving out of state soon. Any and every dog who gets to spend time with her (and her incredibly sweet dog, Bear) is so lucky! Our girl can be super anxious and shy but felt right at home from the very first day. Makena is awesome ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Woodstock is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 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.

As of October 2026, there are 860 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Woodstock. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of sitters in Woodstock 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 Woodstock home-away-from-home, 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 Woodstock.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woodstock 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 , 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 .
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.
