“We hired Judith to watch my 12 year old dog in her home. My dog seemed to really enjoy her stay and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Judith provided twice a day updates which I really enjoyed! She verified with me before I left that twice a day updates would be appropriate which I appreciated too. I would definitely recommend Judith! You can really tell she genuinely cares about dogs. :)”
“We appreciated the updates letting us know our dog was having a fun time during his stay! Great communication. It always means a lot to know our dog is being well cared for. Already booked a second stay!”
“Pepe came home soooo happy! He had a great time with Angela. He can't wait to go back in 3 weeks! This is the first time I've left him that he wasn't upset when he came home. Angela made me feel relieved and not worried about him being ignored or abused. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Loved this sitter! She was so sweet and provided updates periodically with pictures. We are new to the area and she gave us the run down on the neighborhood and also gave us some suggestions for choosing a new vet. Will definitely be back!”
“Great experience leaving our girl with Noor and her family overnight after our pet care fell through somewhat last minute. I got frequent updates and photos, and I felt Theia was well cared for. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks!”
“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“Sunshine and her loving family were3 the most amazing host for our young energetic dog, Zuka. She is a big dog and a lot to handle at age 1+. Sunshine is a pro and Zuka loved her time with her. We picked her up a week after dropping her off and she was happy, healthy and maybe it is my imagination... but she also seemed better on her lead! WOW! Above and beyond Sunshine!! Thank You! Thank You! We will always use you for overnights when we travel. D&C”
“I was traveling overseas and my return flight was canceled and rebooked for the following day. My heart sank into my stomach as I would not be able to pick up my fur baby on time. Chisato went above and beyond to take care of my baby for the additional day. He's a needy baby to say the least. I wish I could leave a review greater than 5 stars.”
“JoAnne is amazing! She is so good with our dogs and they clearly have a great time there. She sent pictures every day and it really helped seeing how happy our dogs were. She was completely understanding when our flight got cancelled which made the whole ordeal a little better knowing our fur babies were in great hands. We will absolutely use JoAnne again.”
“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”
“This is the second time we brought our dogs to Donna and they ran to the door! It's like summer camp. She brings the dogs on walks, and to the park. She goes out for Mexican food and the dogs come with her. She even bakes her own dog treats for them. We couldn't ask for a better family to watch our pets.”
“We met up before to make sure the dogs would get along, and everything was great! I loved getting daily updates and pictures. I would definitely go with D’artagnan again for dog sitting.”
“Mary was a wonderful sitter and even accommodated his fear of thunder with comfort music. She shared pictures of Henry playing with other dogs in her care including her own two playing in the fenced in yard and inside staying cool. She was also accommodating our desire to pick Henry up earlier than initally planned. I highly recommend Mary and her husband.”
“Jennifer was AMAZING with our pup Junie! This was the first time we have utilized Rover.com and we were anxious about leaving Junie with someone we didn't know. Jennifer communicated with me weeks in advance and answered all of my questions. Junie immediately felt comfortable and Jennifer texted me pictures and updates throughout the day, which I LOVED. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs a super responsible and sweet dog-sitter!!”
“My dog had a blast staying here. I knew because I got plenty of videos and photos daily. I would Not hesitate to have my dog stay with Balaji & Senna again in the future.”
“Eileen was wonderful, as usual! I always feel like my pup is safe in her care. I also appreciate her photos everyday, and how well she is organized and professional. 🙂”
“Hannah took great care with my dog. She followed all of our instructions. She sent photo updates daily, and our dog was happy and calm when we came home. We would book her again instantly! Thank you so much Hannah!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Lake Bluff sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Lake Bluff landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lake Bluff 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 Lake Bluff.
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.
You and your Lake Bluff 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.
