“We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.”
“Jacob was great! He took good care of Muffin, was always responsive and available, and was very flexible with the pick up and drop off times. Thank you for watching Muffin while we were on vacation!”
“Hannah is an amazing full-time dog caregiver! She can handle anything and her schedule allows her to be super flexible with her clients. Our pup started an antibiotic 3 days before our trip, and she was able to take him, administer all the meds and keep him sequestered until he was no longer a health hazard. In addition, our flight was canceled and she kept C for an extra day at the same rate. We are confident in her abilities and her love for our dog.”
“Trixie and Zac love it at Cunthia’s house! They love playing with other dogs and come home happy and tired from all the fun! I especially love the pictures of them while I’m away!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“I’m writing to share how fantastic Livia and Matt were while I was out of town. Two of my three dogs stayed at their home, and from the very beginning they made me feel incredibly comfortable and completely at ease. There is absolutely no such thing as too many pictures when it comes to my dogs, and Livia and Matt were amazing about constantly sending updates, photos, and letting me know how my babies were doing. It made being away from them so much easier. I honestly hate going out of town because I hate leaving my dogs, but knowing that Livia and Matt are there to take such great care of them makes the entire process so much less stressful. I felt completely confident that they were safe, happy, and being treated like family. I will absolutely use Livia and Matt again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable, and attentive people to watch their dogs.”
“Sarah was SO GREAT with our two little dogs!!! She sent pictures and videos every day while we were away, and little notes about how they were doing- the good and the bad, when one of our dogs decided that her plant was a perfect place to sit. :) THANK YOU SARAH and we look forward to trusting you with our little ones again when we need you!!!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have over 20 years of personal experience caring for dogs. I understand that pets are family members, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. As a longtime dog owner, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy, caring, and responsible when you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, relaxing, or extra attention, I want them to feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I offer a warm, loving environment where your pet will receive personalized care and plenty of affection. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands. I am located in Northbrook and would love to welcome your pet into my home! I currently work part-time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your furry family members. I’m available for dog walking, playtime, feeding, and pet sitting throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s schedule and make sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities! I offer a loving, clean, and comfortable home in Northbrook with a small fenced yard where dogs can enjoy fresh air, supervised outdoor time, and playtime. I’m also happy to take dogs on regular walks, providing exercise, attention, and opportunities to explore the neighborhood safely. I understand that every pet has different needs, personalities, and routines. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, and daily care to make your pet feel right at home. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Perfect home and perfect care. We received pictures/videos all the time and they provided updates on activities. They treated melon like their own dog.”
“My dog felt like he was at home with Lauren! Awesome experience throughout. I was given updates and pictures. Felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. Would definitely book again with Lauren!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Saga. I appreciated all the pictures you shared, it let me know that she was really enjoying herself! It is truly a comfort having such wonderful caretakers available when I have had to be out of town.”
“Coconut had such a fun time with Claire and Sushi! She went to Claire’s house two different times so far and she was sooo excited to get back there!! She also learned better behavior from Sushi and Claire even trained Coconut to do a few different tricks. Thanks so much Claire !! :)”
“Rebeca did an outstanding job with our nervous puppy. She was very patient with his puppy energy even as our dog unfortunately was not very well behaved. Rebeca did a great job keeping us up to date on everything going on and sent us lots of pictures. I would highly recommend for anyone needing dog watching services.”
“Karla did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucky. We’ve only had Lucky for a few months, and as a rescue from Texas, he has a lot of separation anxiety. Karla was very understanding and made him feel relaxed and at home, while also being patient with all of his little foibles. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. She also has a great setup for dogs, including a large long condo with plenty of space for running around. We would definitely recommend Karla to others!”
“Claudia was amazing! Wilma had the best time with her. Claudia was very responsive and communication was great. knowing that our Wilma was staying with someone so kind and responsible made our trip that much more enjoyable.”
“Jenny is just the BEST! She takes care of our Coco like she is her own, with regular exercise, cuddling, and loving on her. I highly recommend both she and her husband as care takers of your dogs.”
“Sandra & Sorin and family were amazing. They did everything possible to help my little Mini Schnauzer feel comfortable and part of the family. Pepper was confused when we dropped her off, but they gave her lots of comfort. Pepper was glad to see us, but not desperate like she has been at boarding kennels. We look forward to having Sandra & Sorin take care of her again in their safe, loving home. I highly recommend Sandra & Sorin for excellent, caring dog boarding and daycare.”
“Rima is great. My pet Kaycee absolutely loved her! Rima sent me updates and pictures while Kaycee was staying with her. She let Kaycee snuggle with her on the couch. I will definitely reach out to Rima again for future boarding.”
“Elva is very communicative and was so great with Sloan while watching her over the 4th of July. Sloan is already very anxious so the fireworks don’t help, but she was very calm and well taken care of when I picked her up.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glencoe
Our dog absolutely loved his stay with Andrea and her family. We are a couple days out from him returning and he seems like he’s still missing his time there. You can tell Andrea and her kids care for the dogs. They have a secure fenced in backyard and it seems like our dog got to enjoy some time outdoors. We loved the updates and cute pictures she sent. We will use her again in the future. Thank you!
Ella is the best! She was incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs and made sure to send us plenty of photos of him having a blast while we were away. It was a huge relief for us (and our nervous pup) to leave him with her instead of a boarding facility. We can’t recommend her more!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Glencoe is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $79 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.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Glencoe 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 Glencoe home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Glencoe.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glencoe. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Glencoe 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
