“Bochok my dog, was in good hands with Merrick. He's happy and was well taken care of. They would always give me updates and send me picture. I didn't encounter any problems with booking with them. Will surely avail their service again.”
“Janette and Charles did a great job for my first time having Leo watched. They made sure he was cared for and got along with the other dogs they had. Would recommend them”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Rocky! She treated him like he was part of her own family, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear from every message how much she genuinely cared about him. We never had to wonder how he was doing because she kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would gladly trust Sarah with Rocky again. Highly recommend!”
“Sonya was great with my Havanese Chewie! The past dog sitters we've tried Chewie seemed really stress out afterwards. But not with Sonya! He seemed very comfortable with her and loved her kids. Happy to have found someone that works well with my dog and look forward to having her watch him in the future.”
“Cynthia is the best combination - organized , capable, and very loving. This was our first time leaving our 4.5 month-old puppy, and he seems like he had an absolute ball. I've already booked Thanksgiving week with Cynthia and I know Moses will have the best time.”
“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Nicky was such an amazing sitter for our old pup! We were so nervous to leave him now that he is 13 and on daily meds. Nicky made us feel so comfortable and Harley was so happy when he left! Such a trustworthy and great dog sitter!!”
“Sarah and her family took great care of Boomer during a 2 night stay. They have a beautiful home and yard. Coordinating drop off and pick up was a breeze. She sent us photos of Boomer having a good time. Sarah was attentive when he became anxious and was very patient and helped him through it. We would recommend her and would definitely hire her again in the future.”
“We are so grateful we found Eric to watch our dog Sammy! He was so great at sending pictures and updates, it made us feel so much better about being away and Sammy had so much fun playing with Harvey!! We will definitely be reaching out to Eric in the future”
“Julia was super accommodating on short notice! Sammie can be pretty anxious, and Julia is always really patient with her and gives her time to warm up. She had a great stay!”
“Hannah and her daughter are true heroes; I am so grateful and blessed to have found someone I can trust Czar to. And, he comes out tired! He must be having the best time of his life.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and about 25 years ago I started a small business pet sitting and dog walking in other people’s homes. I had to put that business on pause for many years due to work and travel, although I have still been able to pet sit for friends and colleagues. Now I’m settled into a set routine and ready to open my home to your fur babies! I am an elementary school teacher, so I am away from home Monday-Friday during school hours, but I can keep tabs on pups with my wireless cameras. I get home around 3:30pm. I have my own dog so she has potty and play time before I leave for work and as soon as I get home. I’m available for walks before work, immediately after work, and in the evening hours. I’m usually home all day on weekends and school holidays. I don’t travel for Thanksgiving or Christmas so I’ll be available for the entirety of those holidays. I live about 15-20 minutes from O’Hare, so drop off before catching a flight is a breeze. I don’t have kids in the home, so your dogs will get my full attention. I do have my own dog named Juniper; she’s a 50 pound rescued bernedoodle and she’s super mellow. She has no issues whatsoever with other dogs in her house. My previous rescue was the opposite; he was reactive to other dogs, so I have experience with dogs that need a little more attention in that regard. I have experience with seniors and other special needs dogs. My home has two floors so I am able to keep your dog separate when needed. My back yard is snow melt and pesticide-free and I’ve been careful to remove potentially toxic plants. I live in a residential dog friendly neighborhood that is great for walks.
“I’d highly recommend Kent to care for your dog. He took time to connect with my dog, Grover, and me before I left for the weekend. You can tell Kent cares for the dogs he watches. My dog who is a little skittish took to Kent right away too. He sent updates to me each day and includes pictures too. I was very happy with Kent’s communication and care for Grover.”
“Having Watson stay in Brian's home for 4 days while I visited family gave me such peace of mind. I received daily photos and updates, and could tell Watson was comfortable and relaxed with his new surroundings — and with the resident pup, too! Highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for a safe, loving place to entrust their four-legged family member. Thanks, Brian, for taking such great care of Wats while I was away!”
“Debbie is the best! our pup had an amazing time and was very safe and cozy at Debbie’s. thank you for taking such of care of Coco!!! will absolutely be booking with Debbie again, could not recommend her more highly!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Morton Grove is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Morton Grove
Laura and Vladimir were kind, loving, communicative, and caring. This was our first time using Rover and they made us feel completely comfortable that our dog was being loved and cared for in their home. Cannot thank them enough and will be using them again as soon as we can. Thank you Laura and Vladimir!
As a first time Rover user, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!! Merrick was incredibly easy to communicate with and made my senior pup feel right at home. He also kindly sent me photos and updates everyday and arranged for a smooth drop off and pick up. I would highly recommend Merrick and his family for your pet sitting needs!!
I felt completely comfortable leaving our 13 yo pug with this family. She sent plenty of pictures to us showing us that Olive Oyl was completely content and comfortable. She had to be given medication each day which Janette did without problems. I recommend this family wholeheartedly. Thanks Janette for your kind care with Olive.
Sonya was great with my Havanese Chewie! The past dog sitters we've tried Chewie seemed really stress out afterwards. But not with Sonya! He seemed very comfortable with her and loved her kids. Happy to have found someone that works well with my dog and look forward to having her watch him in the future.
Jacob was the perfect host - warm, flexible, communicative, and affectionate with my two dogs. He provided a safe cozy space and a built-in playmate in his own sweet-tempered puppy. Also, Jacob sent photos and updates regularly, giving us extra comfort. He’s terrific.
Lauren was wonderful with our little guy! She took great care of him, and we really appreciated her kindness and attention. He loves being around people, so it was comforting to know he was in good hands. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!
We’ve had our golden stay with Patricia and Ryan before and he always has the best time! They truly care for him and make sure he’s walked, fed and comfy! I love getting photo updates while he’s there and would recommend to anyone looking for a loving family to watch their pup.
My one and only “complaint” about Clarissa is that I think my dog loves her more than she loves me. Seriously, Sally always looks so relaxed and content in the pictures Clarissa sends, which she does regularly. The first time I left Sally with her I was super nervous - this time I could relax knowing she was in good hands.

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 Morton 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 Morton 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 Morton 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 Morton Grove. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Morton 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 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.
