“Katerina was amazing! She’s so kind and really cares about your fur babies. She sends pictures and is very accommodating with scheduling. Will definitely be using her services again. Thanks Katerina!!”
“Susan and her husband were just wonderful with our senior dog. She required a special diet with supplements and lots of TLC, which they followed through with just great. They have a lovely enclosed yard and a sweet pup of their own to provide company. Will definitely be making use of their services again.”
“Thank you again for yet another amazing stay for our dog! Melissa and her family made sure Champ felt loved and cared for the entire time. Amazing communication, pictures and flexibility to accommodate us! Thank you so much!!”
“Lauren was an exceptional provider of boarding for our 10-year-old dog who has separation anxiety and hasn’t had much experience staying with other people. We had a short meet-and-greet to make sure our dogs seemed compatible, and then I was very comfortable leaving Lou with her. She put me at ease with a picture right away and throughout his stay. It was easy to communicate with her about things that were happening or that she had questions about. I would definitely trust Lauren again for boarding and other services.”
“We had such a wonderful experience, this was our second time leaving Korra with Kim, and once again she was amazing. She took excellent care of Korra, and her communication was great, which gave us complete peace of mind. Kim truly went above and beyond; she even got Korra a Christmas gift, which meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Corinne is so warm and comforting I didn’t worry about a thing because I knew Olive was in good hands. My little dog is getting up there in years and takes a laundry list of medication, Corinne handled everything professionally and kept her feeling loved.”
“Monica is awesome with our Sky. She genuinely loves dogs and takes really special care to give ours the attention that she needs. The communication is great and she has been very flexible with our erratic schedules. We’re very happy to have met her and we feel very comforted knowing our Sky is in her good hands”
“Deb & Doug are great! This was Jenny's 4th stay since May. She loves the attention. I'm happy that I can travel knowing that my highly dog-reactive baby is safe and secure. Jenny says see you soon - kisses and cuddles!”
“We booked it last moment and were very lucky to find Maricela. Our little yorkie was in good hands, we received updates regularly and will for sure reach out to her when needed again.”
“Donna was absolutely outstanding. Five stars aren't nearly enough to describe how absolutely pleased I am. Donna was the absolute next best thing to being there myself. I didn't have to spend even a second wondering how Iris was doing, as she kept me up to date with her walks, meals, and even trips to the park. (She even sent lovely photos of Iris snuggling under the covers!) You can tell Donna has had a ton of dog experience. Iris can be very slow to warm to folks and can be a bit nervous, but she instantly hit it off with Donna. This was my first time leaving Iris with someone other than family, and I truly can't thank Donna enough for putting any anxiousness at ease--Iris's or mine. ;) Thank you so, so, so much, Donna!”
“My dog was so happy and made friends. That pleased me immensely. So enjoyed the photos and videos that were sent to me. If I need to go away again, I would definitely request Aneta. She was wonderful.”
“Despite short notice due to a family emergency, Julie and Mark has accommodated Toby. Toby was well cared and had a great time staying with them. We will use them again.”
“Elva was great with our senior dog. She treated her like her own, she sent us updates everyday with pictures/videos. We felt comfortable and at ease on our vacation and will use Elva again for future vacations. Our dog is pooped from her vacation away from us. Thank you again!!”
“We can tell our pup had a great time staying with Merrick! He was very communicative, sent pictures every day, and we could tell, cared very much about the comfort of our pooch. We definitely would book again and highly recommend”
“After reading so many great reviews. We decided to go with Julie to watch both our boys (Mason & Mailo) and we can confirm Julie is the best. We received updates, pictures sent daily and the boys seemed to enjoy their time with Julie. We are very happy to know we have someone we can 100 percent trust with our boys. We highly recommend Julie. Sincerely, Rob & Val ( aka helicopter dog mom)”
“Carla was great. Left my German shorthair pointer for a 5 night stay while on a trip. With daily picture and video updates it made me more at ease while I was away. Thanks Carla!”

Hannah was amazing with our 13 week old puppy! I’ve never used a pet sitter before and was nervous. Hannah put my mind at ease with multiple pics and communication everyday. She made sure to only give our puppy her food due to allergies. When we picked up our puppy, I could tell she had a great time and was well taken care of. She loved Hannah and even licked her face goodbye! What a wonderful experience. Sundae will be back to play next time we go out of town!!
Michael and Janet took wonderful care of our dog, DooBoo, while we were traveling in Las Vegas. They sent us photo updates and kept us posted, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. DooBoo can be a little shy around other dogs, but he is very friendly with people — and he clearly felt comfortable and safe with them, especially staying close to Janet. He came home happy and relaxed. Thank you both so much for treating DooBoo like your own. We truly appreciate it and would absolutely love to book with Michael again. Highly recommend!
Michelle is a wonderfully kind dog sitter who truly understood Mochi’s personality. She was incredibly thoughtful—even bathing Mochi late at night and double-checking the sleeping arrangements to ensure everything was just right. Her own dog, Sam and Mochi happily played and napped together; Michelle sent me heartwarming photos every day. Although this was my first time asking her for Mochi’s boarding, She did a great job taking care of my dog. If schedule works I would like ask her again !
Maggie and her kids were very empathetic to our dog when he was afraid during thunderstorms. She quickly responded to our messages and sent us frequent updates and pictures of our dog. She has a great yard and place for the dogs to run around. She treated Teddy like a family member. Thank you Maggie!
Moose loved his time with Rhondarose! It was clear during our meet & greet that she is very knowledgeable & experienced - we're lucky we found her! She provided loving care, excellent communication with many daily pics, and lots of playtime & snuggles. Moose had a GI issue and she knew exactly how to care for him & keep us updated. Rhondarose is a rare find & we will definitely board with her again. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Moose!
We are so grateful for Balaji and his utmost care during our dog Chucky’s stay. He was very well taken care of and we were kept up to date everyday while we were away, which we appreciated a lot. Chucky has enjoyed his time here and I recommend Balaji as a dog sitter to everyone looking for an experienced sitter who truly cares about dogs.
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!
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.
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. :)

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Buffalo Grove is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 5,175 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
