“I’m soooo glad to find D’Artagnan here in Rover! My dog Elsa came home happy and tired! He sent me tons of photos and updates during the day and it just gave me peace of mind knowing my baby is having a blast with his dog Nike. Thank you and I am sure Elsa is looking forward to the next she stay with you guys!!!”
“Cindy & her family were absolutely amazing with my pup. I am really cautious about leaving my girl behind, but Cindy made me feel at ease immediately. I received many sweet photos and updates. Highly recommend!!!”
“We are always a bit nervous about boarding our dog due to his separation anxiety, but Vicki was amazing! Communication was smooth, transparent, and responsive from start to finish. She was personable and flexible,. Our dog had opportunity to socialize with similar dogs, and daily photo updates of him playing, eating, or resting gave us peace of mind. We’re so grateful for Vicki’s excellent care and highly recommend her!”
“Incredibly nice people and a happy dog. Or dog became unwell for the first few days after we dropped him off. They updated us, looked after him and went the extra mile in sorting him out. We picked him up yesterday and he was happy as ever. Thank you Denis and Nikki.”
“Leaving our dogs with Katelyn & Andrew was like leaving them with family. We loved getting our daily photo updates and seeing just how happy our pups were with them. We had total peace of mind that they were getting the best care while we were away. Our dogs may have even been sad to leave!”
“Yessica is awesome with my pup. She kept me informed and up to date on what was going on. She was very understanding of Lady's special needs and very professional about my pet's care. I have finally found my regular sitter.”
“Thea was great we received daily updates and pictures. Bailey had plenty of play time with Thea’s dog and the other guests staying over. Bailey has been home for a day now and seems exhausted after the great stay he had. Thea will be watching Bailey again next month and I’m sure he will get the same great care.”
About: Growing up, my mother would buy and sell dogs. It was quite traumatic. I vowed to be better than her. I've had my dog Odin for 8 years, and I will happily care for your pet as well. Fortunately, my trauma is your gain. I'm well versed on most dog breeds and I know how to research breeds if something comes up. You can sit back and relax because my care for your dog will be the best. My commute is only 15mins away. So I take care of the dogs in the morning, then I care for them again on my lunch break. Then again after work and throughout the night with my own dog, Odin. I have several dog beds and comfy spaces for them to rest. I have a zone in my home that is for dogs only. They can grab a toy from the toy box or they can look out the balcony window as shades are always open for your pupper!
“I was very anxious about leaving my girls while I was on vacation. But Thomas and Kelly took great care of them and sent lots of pictures to ease my mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more since I knew my girls were in good hands.”
“This is our first time using this service, and we were a bit nervous as our dog is almost away from home with other people than family. Somehow Bob managed to calm our Australian dog Maple as she deals with high anxiety when we are not around. He kept us updated constantly and he response very quickly to our messages. Thank you Bob for taking great care of our Maple, we will definitely look for you when we need care for her.”
“Everything went great when we dropped our 7 month old puppy. Thao and her family were great to him. And they enjoyed his company. We received regular texts pictures and video clips. Couldn't be happier.”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“My dog Poppy loves staying with Mary and her family. Mary was also very flexible with pickup time when my travel got delayed which was so nice and took some of the stress of the delay away.”
“Kent is always wonderful with my Chloe! She’s a small dog who can be reactive and have separation anxiety but Kent deals with her issues with incredible care.”
“Finn had a great time with Nicole, and we were so pleased to have found her. Finn is a 7-yr old Lab and full of energy. But Nicole was a pro, and Finn showered her with kisses. It was our first time and it was such a relief to know our pup would be safe and happy with Nicole. Already booking our next boarding appointment. We highly recommend leaving your fur baby in Nicole’s capable hands.”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Buffalo Grove
Ellie and her husband watched Kody for 5 nights at their house, and this was the first time I'd been away from Kody for more than about a 12 hour stretch. I was pretty anxious about it but Kody was comfortable around them from the very start. Ellie gave me updates once per day and by the second day, Kody seemed to feel at home with her which was a huge weight off my mind. She was also very accommodating of his/our routine and she did everything she could to allow Kody to feel comfortable during his stay with her. I'd book with her again in a heartbeat!
Kyle was great to work with! Our Goldendoodle had a great stay while we were out of town. She had a tendency to have a hard time settling in the first few days with a new sitter, but she settled right in with Kyle and his family. He sent pictures every day, and had a great house in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of places for nice walks. I’d definitely book with Kyle again in the future!
Svitlana was absolutely wonderful to our 5 month old English Bulldog named Snookie. She provided many pictures and videos of Snookie during the 6 days we apart from our puppy. From the moment we stepped foot in her home, we immediately can tell her love for our dog. I highly recommend her and will definately rebook with her again.
Our pup had the best stay with Maggie! She sent pictures throughout the visit and when we picked him up he was happy and had clearly gotten a ton of love. Bonus - he was also tired from all the playing, so that was a big plus for us. Would definitely recommend Maggie.
Our 7 year old lab with cancer was well taken care of for 4 days by the husband and wife duo. Me and family were able to relax and enjoy our vacation since we knew Sago was in safe caring hands. Prithvi was also kind enough to send pictures of Sago every day which eased our mind even more. Sago had a fun time with their dog Loki. We highly recommend.
We couldn't have been happier with the care our two Shih Tzus received during their 9-day stay. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. One thing we especially appreciated was the regular updates. Yuliia sent adorable photos and videos almost every day, along with the sweetest comments about what the dogs were doing and how they were settling in. It meant so much to us while we were away and really helped us feel connected to them. It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. Our pups were happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. We would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative sitter.
Ekaterina took wonderful care of our cat for over a week. She sent frequent pictures & little videos which showed me Nelly was relaxed and content at her home. She is a sweet woman with a soft touch that cats will respond well to. I highly recommend Ekaterina for cat sitting and I definitely plan to use her again in the future. :)
Joanna and her family were absolutely amazing with our boy. We could see their passion for dogs and caring for them, right away. We were away for a week and while we missed Sarge very much, we were at great ease with the care he recieved. Sarge got along great with their two absolutely adorable dogs. We were very impressed with the pictures and daily updates. We will 100% rebook with Joanna. Highly recommend! 🐾

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Buffalo Grove on Rover is $42.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 5,260 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Buffalo Grove. About 91% of Buffalo Grove 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.

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.
