“Julie was so welcoming for my dog. She took such good care of her and sent tons of great pictures. If I am ever in the area again I will undoubtedly be choosing Julie M. to take very good care of my girl!”
“Michelle V was excellent for our first Rover experience! She was easy to communicate with and responsive. She also was flexible with pickup and drop-off as our times changed. Thanks, Michelle!”
“Dartagnan was great at taking care of Axel. When I first met him for a meet and greet, I could tell he was knowledgeable about dogs. One thing I really liked was that he is always quick to address any mischievous behaviors that comes from too much excitement. He also sent me daily photos, which was reassuring. As someone who used to dog sit on Rover, I have high expectations. Dartagnan and his partner have exceeded them. Will definitely book with them again the next time I’m out of town.”
“Our pooch Menchie had a fine time at Denis and Nikki’s home. He got to play as much his heart desired and then could cozy up on a couch. He missed us, but not as much as I thought he would. That’s a tribute to the care he received at Denis and Nikki’s home.”
“Katelyn and Andrew are AWESOME! I booked them to watch my two fur babies for two nights/three days in their home. The meet and greet was very detailed, Katelyn took notes on everything including feeding, medications, potty schedules and their normal day to day routine. While she was taking notes Andrew was playing with the girls and asking all about their personalities. They have a lovely home that backs up to a park with walking paths. I dropped the girls off on Thursday and picked them up on Saturday afternoon. Katelyn and Andrew were very flexible with my schedule and that gave me peace of mind that if something unexpected happened they had me covered. They sent pictures daily with updates of the girls activities and Andrew works from home so my girls were spoiled all day and night! I highly recommend this easy going dog loving couple to watch your precious pups, they are the BEST!”
“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.”
“Thao was amazing! She agreed to take in Benji at the last minute. We received pictures throughout his stay. I can't thank Thao enough for taking great care of our precious Benjamin.”
“This was Saga‘s second visit with Tom and Kelly. Once again, the experience was wonderful. They provided daily updates and lots of pictures. I recommend them highly and plan to use them again when I travel.”
“Bob does a great job of taking care of our two fur babies while we are away. He sends photos and videos of them playing throughout the day and when we pick them up they are happy but EXHAUSTED from all the fun they have!”
“I am so thankful that Kent was able to take care of our precious girl Sprinkles. This was the longest time she stayed with a non-family member and Kent made us feel so comfortable with his updates and pictures. Will definitely book Kent again!!!”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“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.”
“Kaylee was super great!! Edy loved staying there and got tons of energy and excitement out too! We got tons of pictures from her overnight and lots of updates. Our dog came home super happy and tired!”
“Poko had a wonderful time with Noor and her family! I received daily pic/video updates which I really appreciated. They are super attentive to detail as well. Highly recommend!”
“Nicole was great! Took incredible care of my fur baby! She was extremely communicative, flexible and caring. I felt very comfortable about the care she provided. I would not hesitate to book with her again!”

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.
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.
