Dog Boarding in Skokie

Brian is a great sitter, my dog has stayed with him a handful of times. My dog enjoys her time with him. He is very communicative and a photo update daily. Definitely recommend!

It is our second time with Rico because Snow feels at home immediately and loved them. He was so happy, comfortable and well-cared. Rico treats him like his own pet, Snow loves to be cuddle. I received great photos and daily updates. Rico took time to walked Snow. Highly recommended.

We are so glad to have Jeffrey and Ron take care of Rufus a the last minute. They provided frequent photos of how Rufus was doing. To a dog parent, this is so much appreciated, to see photos of our fur baby. We would definitely use them again. --- Chris and Jim

Chanel had a wonderful stay with Clarissa and her family. Clarissa gave many updates, was very responsive and took great photos. Chanel also enjoyed spending time with their dog, Hercy!

I had accidentally input the wrong pick up day and Rima was flexible and extremely accommodating with the late-night, last-minute change. She is a true animal lover and took great care of my dog. Highly rexcomended!

This was my first time using Rover or any sitter service for my dog daughter. I was very hesitant about it, but kind of did not have any other options and had a vacation that was quickly approaching. When I first started looking on Rover I did not have the best of luck locating someone right off the bat; there were scheduling conflicts and I also found quite a few sitters who did not have their profiles updated. I was specifically looking for someone without pets and who only sat for one pet at a time, and I found that many people had "no pets" listed in their profiles, but actually did have pets. Long story short, I finally came across Sophie, and I was so grateful that I did. She was amazing! Since it was my first time using the service, Sophie agreed to a meet and greet with my dog (9 year old miniature pinscher) in her home prior to booking. The meet went well and my dog, "Mama" was comfortable in the space and Sophie was very personable. I also learned that Sophie worked from home so she would be with Mama for most of the day which was definitely a big plus - I booked immediately! I dropped Mama off a few days later for her long 8 day stay. On the date of the drop off, Sophie had a previously planned outing for her birthday and was not able to be home at the time of the drop. But, her mother who was staying with her was, and she was available to greet us instead. Sophie's mother, whom I had not previously met, was the sweetest! Very welcoming and great with my dog. She took to her immediately. I got my dog setup in Sophie's home - Mama is indoor pee pad trained so I was a bit concerned about this being an issue being that she would be in a new environment with the possibility for some potty accidents. Sophie assured me that she was absolutely fine with this, and understood that pets can have accidents and may be nervous at times being in a new place. While I was away, Sophie updated me regularly via text and also provided photos. She even reached out when Mama did not potty for a long period of time, checking to make sure she was not cleaning the pee pad with the wrong chemical, and deterring her from using it. Upon my return, I picked Mama up late evening and she was happy to see me, but I could tell she had a great stay and had enjoyed her time with Sophie. She will definitely be my go to for any future vacations :) I cannot say enough good things about her services.

Walter loves Joerg and Lake and their little Elizabeth. He runs straight to their door and forgets all about me. Just what I want him to do for his over night stays!

It was so easy to work with Kimberly! Our dog seems happy and healthy and it was such a relief for her to be in a cozy loving home while we were away.

Deb and Doug are wonderful - thoughtful and great with our dog. Birdie was well cared for while we were out of town for over a week. She definitely enjoyed her stay with them and misses their backyard already. We appreciated the communication and updates. Can’t thank them enough!

Kristina was wonderful!! Easy to communicate with and sent lots of photos. Rex looked like he had a fantastic time, running and gallivanting in the yard and sleeping soundly. I’d 100 percent leave Rex with Kristina again. He was a happy camper (as were we).

My dog, Sammie, has stayed with Julia twice now. Sammie clearly loves being there and comes home happily exhausted every time! I really appreciate the updates and the great care.

Great service and communication! Merrick took extra steps to make our dog feel comfortable and safe. Appreciated the many pictures sent that showed the loving care and attention provided! Would definitely recommend Merrick as an excellent caregiver.

We have used Rover many times and we had the very best care for our Corgi, Mocha, through Marija. Her expertise reflected through her careful introduction and daily routine. Mocha came home perfectly relaxed and shows sign of missing Marija and her pup Biskit. The extra photos were what we have always wanted from a sitter but rarely came close. We will definitely seek our Marija for all our future boarding.

Thao was absolutely attentive to Bruce's needs as well as keeping me updated on how things were going. When I picked up Bruce, he was happy and not his usual self when going to a "commercial" pet boarding people. Thank you Thao!!!!

Once again Michelle saves the day and helps us with our little Charlie. He is so well cared for and she is so communicative- I can actually relax especially when life gets stressful. Michelle took Charlie a day early for a work trip that sprung up. She is the best!

Laura and Vladimir were great! I felt like my dog was in great hands the whole time she was with them. They even took our sweet girl to her vet when she had a really bad ear infection. Would definitely recommend Laura and Vladimir to friends and family that need a dog sitter.

Thank you for taking such good care of Ollie. We can trust you and your family to treat him like your own. Your regular updates gave us peace of mind that he was doing well.

Cynthia was amazing with Lady! She accommodated us on short notice, sent regular updates, and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Lady was happy and well cared for, and I’m very grateful for her kindness and reliability. Highly recommend!

Sheila and Firdous were amazing and would highly recommend them!
