About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

“Tucker was loved, safe, exercised... and already misses Nikki and Denis’ house! It was a weight off our shoulders not having to worry about our pup while we were gone. I can’t thank them enough for the pictures, updates and wonderful house for Tucker. We appreciate it more than you know!!”

“Janette was amazing. We just recently moved to the area and didn’t have a dog sitter. I’m so happy we found Janette!! She kept our two dachshunds for the weekend. She sent photos and kept us updated daily. The dogs love her. I am so happy we found her and we will definitely be using her from now on!”
“My pup Pickles had the best stay. Flexible pick up and drop off. She sent multiple updates. It feels good to leave your pup with some one you know you can trust. Deidre is the best!”

“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”

“Juliana is a phenomenal sitter. From the start she was very responsive to every message. She was kind and made everything super easy. She updated me with pictures and videos throughout my dogs' stay. It definitely makes it easier to leave my dog in such capable hands. We had our next time booked before the first one ended.”

About: Hello pet parents! Are you looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter? Look no further! My name is Isabelle and I am passionate about providing exceptional care for your furry friends. Whether you need occasional daytime sitting or overnight stays, I am here to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. I’m a SAHM with 2 fur kiddos of my own, so my house is pretty much dog proof. My toddler and I walk our pups twice a day, and when our senior dogs knee starts bothering him we have a doggie backpack we use to ensure he can feel included in the walks. I have a fully fenced back yard for potty breaks. I live within a 15 minute walking distance to a park and can provide your fur kiddo with walks if permitted. I understand the importance of trusting someone with your kiddo and am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment.
“I am so happy I chose Michael to care for my Aussie Layla. She is like my child and I was worried about leaving her but Michael immediately put my mind at ease. He was so warm and welcoming and Layla went right to him. It was apparent how much he loves dogs. His home and fenced yard provided a safe environment with plenty of room to roam. He took Layla on nice walks and stayed in touch with me through texts and pictures. I will definitely continue to use him for any future needs.”

“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. :)”


“Dan and Jana were phenomenal pet sitters! Their back yard is a perfect to run and play. They were consistent with updates and photos and were very easy to communicate with. Their dog Lula was great with our playful large dog and our more reserved small dog. They clearly have a lot of care for the dogs in their home, they even reached out to let us know our dog appeared to have an ear infection and were very helpful with applying medicine for her. We definitely plan to use their services again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Luciana 🐾 I’ve volunteered with Heartland Animal Shelter for 2+ years and have experience fostering kittens, adult cats, hospice cats, and working with dogs of different sizes and personalities. As a pet parent to my cat Milo, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone patient, loving, and attentive. I provide: ✅ frequent photo updates ✅ playtime and enrichment ✅ medication experience ✅ calm care for shy or anxious pets ✅ reliable routines and potty breaks I work mostly from home, so your pet will receive lots of supervision and attention. I know every pet is different, and I always take time to understand their personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe while you’re away ❤️ Not ready to book? Check us out on Sniffspot! Use code ROVER-LUCIANAG45482 on sniffspot for $5 off your first visit at our spot! I work mostly from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do occasionally leave for short errands, workouts, or appointments (typically 1–3 hours), but I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine and comfort. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. I have experience with cats of all ages, including kittens, seniors, hospice kitties, and cats needing medication. For dogs, I’ve worked with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments through Heartland Animal Shelter. I have a fenced yard for pets that enjoy brief supervised outdoor time (always safely monitored). Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I adapt to what makes them happiest.
“Chris was magic to work with. Super communicative, easy-going and ultimately a dog lover. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who is looking for extended dog boarding. (We used Chris for over a week while moving down to Florida). Thanks again for having our Pyradoodle!”


“Soojin is an amazing doggy sitter! My pup Toby loved her so much, the next time I brought him to stay with her he was practically jumping out of the car window to jump in her arms. She truly loves dogs and caring for them and will treat your pup as if it's her own. 10/10! Will absolutely bring Toby back to stay with her when I need a sitter.”

““Our dog’s spring break vacation” The overall care & true love she shows to her furry friends is like no other. Our senior dog got such a boost of energy & felt like a young pup frolicking in the forest preserve & swimming multiple times within the week in Lake Michigan. She has the sweetest dogs and cats & looking at pictures of them all snuggled up in her bed at night made us so happy. She has the coolest backyard for the pets too. We’ll book with no one else.”


“Angela & Dave took great care of Scout. Angela was very communicative and sent photo updates throughout the stay. Scout made new friends with their dogs and the others staying too.”

“We were really happy with our decision to have Monica care for our two dogs during a weekend away. She was super responsive, flexible, and accommodating and it was obvious she loves animals and took very good care of them. Her house is very clean with lots of places for the dogs to relax, and her fenced backyard was perfect for playtime. Highly recommend!”

“Yamile is super nice and you can tell she likes pets. She took good care of my dog and cat. I also appreciated that her dog was very chill, even around my cat (they barely acknowledged each other!). Would book with her again.”

“Balaji and family were very attentive in taking care of Pipli. They kept sending regular updates with pictures and videos, fed and took Pipli out regularly and kept her well. Pipli made friends with Mocha and they got along really well and played a lot. We came home to a happy and delighted pup. Great work and we’re sure Pipli will look forward to her next stay.”

We had a great experience with Matthew! He was very flexible and accommodating when we needed to drop our dogs off earlier than originally scheduled. He kept us updated with pictures, and it was clear our dogs were having so much fun and were well cared for. We felt completely comfortable leaving them with him and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Lake Bluff on Rover is $76.67 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 4,952 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Lake Bluff. About 90% of Lake Bluff 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.
