Christy communicated really well. I had a family emergency at the end of Kali's stay and needed to extend her stay. Christy accommodated and wished us well. She even let me pick up Kali for a "sleep over one night since I was going through Kali withdrawal. It meant she had to get up an hour early the next day so I could drop her off again on my way back to the hospital. AMAZING team her and her daughters.

Angela and Dave took great care of Mr Bubbles. We had a last minute cancellation, and had to book with them the night before we left on vacation. They were so nice and understanding. I felt so comfortable leaving our family dog with them. I got pictures and daily updates while he was with them. Bubbles came home happy and tired, I can tell he had a great time playing with their dogs.

About: I have 2 years of professional dog/cat handling. I currently work at an animal hospital as a kennel attendant! I have had dogs of my own growing up, and now I own 6 cats. I just love caring for animals. I am free Monday-Friday so I will be available to give all my attention to your fur baby! They will have plenty of cuddles and play time! My mom and I will both be very much involved with your fur baby! I do not have a fenced yard BUT I will gladly take your doggy on multiple walks! I do have 6 cats but they have their own room/space so they will not interfere with any animals I’m boarding :)

Jayne lovingly took care of my baby Kensie and gave daily updates on his eating and bathroom habits alongside some of the best photos of him! Super communicative and fastest response rate I've experienced at Rover.com. She is a real find!

Nicole is so caring and communicative. I needed to find coverage for my pet while I was going on vacation. Nicole was very accommodating and kind to my dog Fia. She sent pictures and updates frequently, and Fia had a blast at her place.

About: I have cared for dogs from shelters as well as senior dogs. Now I have a puppy who is 2 years old! I am pretty consistent with giving walks, play time, bathroom breaks, and meals. I also offer transportation services! I have quite a lot of free time as a full time nursing student! I’m outside everyday with my dog! I would love to find some doggy friends for my pup! I have a fenced back yard and a playful friendly dog to keep them company. The house is also dog proof! Dogs are absolutely welcomed indoors! I also have access to a number of outdoor fields for the dogs to play, a beach, dog play areas and more!

Kelsey was absolutely amazing! I was in a tough spot — I was getting married and the friend who was supposed to watch my dog, Inc, canceled last minute. I had no one lined up and was pretty stressed. I did a meet-and-greet with Kelsey and her husband, and right away I felt completely comfortable. They were both so kind and welcoming, and their home was perfect for Inc. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kelsey went above and beyond, and I had total peace of mind on such an important day. If I could give her more than five stars, I absolutely would! I will definitely be using her again in the future.

About: I grew up in a tropical country surrounded by animals. Naturally, learning and caring for them became my passion. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I work from home, which allows me to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Your fur babies will be treated like family here! I live in a single-family home and provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.

We wanted to express our sincere appreciation for your exceptional care of my anxious dog while we were on vacation. It was a relief knowing you kept him comfortable and safe, especially with his anxiety. We also really appreciated you keeping him separate from your cat due to my daughter's allergies – it showed a real dedication to his well-being and consideration for my family. The updates and photos you sent were so reassuring. Thanks again for going above and beyond! Will definitely take Cody back on our next vacation😊

About: Finalmente decidí de tener mi licencia de IL para mi compañía en cuidar perros y gatos en memoria de nuestra princesa Luna que falleció hace poco. En su honor seguiré cuidando a mascotas con el mismo amor y atención que ella tuvo en sus 15 años de vida 💕 Mi atención y tiempo siempre estará presente. Los horarios se basarán a las necesidades de las mascotas en mi casa. Cualquier pregunta me pueden mandar mensaje 💕 Tengo una jaula propia y un porche privado para la seguridad de las mascotas. También hay parques cercas de mi cuando el clima lo permita para ir a caminar.

She is the best! I do not have enough words to express my gratitude to her!! She took care of my doggo so well, lots and lots of pictures, and it’s clear my doggo had the time of his life. I trust her more than myself when it comes to taking care of him!

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!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - North Chicago

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 4,636 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in North Chicago. About 91% of North Chicago 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.
