“We had the most amazing experience with Corinna! ! From the very first meeting, my dog connected with her instantly — which says everything. She has such a calm, warm energy, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. Her home is incredibly welcoming and comfortable for pets — clean, cozy, and thoughtfully set up so they feel safe and relaxed. I had complete peace of mind knowing my dog was not only cared for, but genuinely loved while I was away. Budders made herself at home, instantly. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! Thank you Corinna! XO Budders”

“We couldnt have been happier with Sherry and Mike! I put together a last minute trip for my husband's birthday and needed a special kind of person for our rescue baby, Miley. Miley came to us from a rough background and needs a little more patience. After meeting them and their adorable furry family, we knew Miley would be fine. Even though she is a 50 lb mixed breed, she loves small dogs. We got photos of her on hikes and wandering on their incredible property. I felt more like I dropped of Miley for school then leaving her with a stranger. When we picked her up, she was happy and tired. Don't hesitate trusting your furry family with them. Truly wonderful people who care. Thank you Sherry and Mike. We will see you again soon ♥️”

“Great experience with this Rover sitter. Communication was excellent the entire time, which I really appreciated. I had to deal with a delayed flight and bad weather, and he was very flexible with the pickup time, which made the situation much less stressful. When I arrived, my dog was already outside and ready to go, so the process was quick and easy. He also sent a couple videos during the stay, and it was clear my dog was happy and he even got to go on a little adventure. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with Grant again.”

“Carol was organized and asked a lot of great questions to ensure my dog was comfortable and happy. I am embarrassed to admit that my dog panicked at the meet and greet and immediately went to the bathroom in her house. She just had been mostly cooped up during the pandemic and a new house with new people just freaked her out. I was surprised Carol was still willing to watch her, but she took all this in stride. I could tell my dog was bonding with her throughout the week. I highly recommend this understanding and thoughtful sitter! I know she's going to be my first choice from now on.”

“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”

“Dillon took amazing care of my boy! His home is clean, pet-friendly, and a great spot for doggy stay-overs. Monte felt comfortable right away exploring every part of his house and meeting Shadow, which put me at ease. I got updates with photos, and it was clear Monte was having a great time and was well cared for. When I picked him up, he was all smiles and full of good energy. Dillon followed Monte’s complex feeding schedule and made sure he got plenty of outdoor time. (and ear rubs) He truly treats every dog like his own. I highly recommend Dillon if you're looking for a great place for your fur baby to stay! I’ll definitely be booking with him again.”

“My baby boy stayed with Cathleen while I attended a function. From the very beginning, I could see a special love and dedication to her dog care. Tootie immediately went over to Cathleen and her dog. Tootie appeared comfortable and right at home. These are the things I look for when my baby boy stays with a family. Cathleen sent many pictures and kept me updated throughout the day and evening. I loved that! Cathleen is an asset to Rover!”

About: Hi, I'm Rochelle! I'm an animal lover with a lifelong passion for animal welfare and more than 8 years of professional pet-sitting experience. Throughout my career, I've worked in animal welfare in several capacities, including as an Assistant Director of a no-kill animal shelter, veterinary assistant, and alongside professional trainers and wildlife rehabilitators. I've worked hands-on with animals of all temperaments, backgrounds, and needs, giving me experience recognizing behavior, understanding body language, and providing thoughtful, individualized care. My experience extends well beyond cats and dogs. I've also worked on a 200-acre farm in Tennessee caring for chickens, cows, ducks, and pigs, and have experience working with wildlife. I'm professionally trained to administer oral and injectable medications to cats, dogs, farm animals, and wildlife, and I'm pet CPR certified. **What's new? I'm now working exclusively from home!** This means much greater flexibility and the ability to provide more consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet is a social butterfly, a couch potato, a little more particular about their people, or has special care requirements, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I currently care for several wonderful recurring pet-sitting clients and am looking forward to welcoming more families and their pets. For me, pet sitting has never just been a side gig. Getting to know an animal, earning their trust, and building a bond with them is genuinely one of my favorite things. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them accordingly. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged (or feathered!) family members! I work exclusively from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care naturally into my daily routine. I'm available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, medication, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. I can accommodate pets who need more frequent attention, consistent routines, or a little extra care. I prioritize keeping your pet's normal schedule as consistent as possible, including feeding times, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to make your time away feel as stress-free and comfortable as possible for your pet. Safety, trust, and comfort are at the center of how I care for every animal. With my professional background in animal welfare, veterinary care, and behavior, I'm attentive to body language, stress signals, environmental safety, and each pet's individual needs. In a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines and environment, following all care instructions closely, and treating their home with the same respect I would my own. I'm mindful of secure doors, gates, leashes, feeding areas, and potential household hazards. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you're away. I take a low-stress, individualized approach to handling and care, using Fear Free techniques and cooperative care principles. I never force interactions and understand the importance of respecting boundaries, especially with shy, anxious, fearful, or under-socialized animals. Whether it's administering medication, caring for a senior pet, building trust with a timid cat, or keeping an energetic pup entertained, I approach every visit with patience, experience, and attention to detail. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment.

About: I did a lot of dog/cat sitting back when I was in college (8 years ago). I have some time off of work and would love nothing more than to fill my schedule with watching your pets. I have experience in caring for dogs, cats, chickens, and some reptiles. I am off of work for a couple of months, so my availability is wide open! 7 days a week, morning or night would work. I live on an acreage, so our 3 dogs are on a wireless gps collar system. If your dog/s were to come to my yard, they would need to be somewhat collar-trained. At your house, I can walk dogs, play with your dogs in your yard, and hang out with them inside the house. For cats, I can play with them inside, and give them lots of company.

Sarah was amazing with our English Springer Spaniel. This was our first time using Rover and we were very pleased. Finnegan is 11 and we did not want to leave him at a typical kennel. Sarah gave him the loving care he needs.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Long Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Long Grove is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $44 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.

As of November 2026, there are 104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Long Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Long Grove 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 Long Grove 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 Long Grove.

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 Long Grove. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 Long Grove 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 IA 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.
