“Byron and Martha are the best. They took really good care of our dog Noki. They followed up each day with photos and followed all instructions for care. Will be reaching out again for his service thru Rover. For sure a 5 star sitter. Thanks again!”
“JoAnne was fantastic! One of my dogs had to see the vet while we were gone. JoAnne took her and administered medication without a second thought! My dogs had a fantastic time and we will definitely use her again!!”
“Judy is amazing! She made our dog right at home. She also sent daily pictures so that we could see what our pup was up to while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend Judy to anyone.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Lori! Her home is very welcoming to dogs. She has a big fenced in yard. She took great care of our pup and was flexible when our flight home was delayed. Would absolutely recommend Lori.”
“I have booked with Michelle twice for my dog Bear and have been very happy with her professionalism and how she treats my beloved pet. I would highly recommend as I plan to book with her again.”
“Kelly, along with her own pooch Maggie, were excellent companions for our puppy's first stay away from home. Kelly was on top of everything, because she's very professional and caring. I really appreciated the photos she sent each day showing that our dog was having a good time. Kelly was always on top of the entire process. Because we were traveling to and from the airport, together we made the drop off and pick up as smooth and quick as possible. Kelly's location, about five minutes from the airport, was perfect too.”
“Dee was amazing! She honestly loves dogs and treated ours as her own while we were away. She sent a steady stream of updates and pictures to keep us in the loop and our dogs and our happiness was her first priority. 11/10, she's an angel and I'd happily have our dog sit with her again.”
“Megan, provided a safe and comfortable environment for our dog. She was awesome about sending photos regularly and communixating on how she is doing. We recommend her highly.”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Keira & her boyfriend were so sweet to my dog. She loved staying with them & was so tired when she got home. They sent me so many photos & updates. Would definitely recommend & rebook!”
“Deidre, “Mama Dee” was great! She has a loving home that was so welcoming to our 2 year old Golden Doodle Nala! Nala was a bit overwhelmed but only initially as is not with other dogs too often. But Mama Dee and her happy playful dogs Milo and River were able to make Nala feel so much better. We received pictures and updates daily and some extra pics when I would miss Nala and ask how she was. Mama Dee pretty much made ME feel more comfortable and confident leaving Nala for the first time to someone other than family :) We will for sure bring Nala back to Mama Dee and her loving environment for our next vacation! Thank u Mama Dee!!”
“Once again, Jennifer over delivered and took incredible care of our overly active 2-yr. old. She has a beautiful young pup of her own and the two played all day.. and curled up together at night. A rare treat for Zuka!”
“Finn had the besttttt time!! Kim took amazing care of our boy and kept us sooooo updated! I could just tell he had the most amazing time on their walks!! Thank youu so much again!!”
“Kim and her family are absolutely amazing! Waylon loves going there and I love having the piece of mind that not only is he having so much fun with her dogs, I know that they love him like their own and are taking the best care of him while we are away! I seriously could not recommend them enough!!”
“Brianna is responsible and reliable person. She was able to help us out when we needed to take last minute trip. Brianna was sending photos every day and our Luna was happy and smiling on those photos. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to extend our absence for three more days. Brianna agreed to extend Luna stay, allowing us to adapt to unexpected change. Thanks so much ! I would recommend her dog-sitting services to anyone with confidence.”
“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away. Lauren sent us pictures everyday to let us know how she was doing. By the time we got back, Sawyer was already attached to Lauren, Zoe, and the rest of the family.”
“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.”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 North Chicago 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 North Chicago 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 North Chicago 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 North Chicago.
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 North Chicago 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.
