“Bailey is a dog whisperer. She took care of our poodle mix over the holiday and was extremely communicative and sent pics and videos/ so that we knew he was in good hands. She is so sweet and has a genuine understanding and love for dogs. Highly recommend! !”
“Our first time leaving our pup for more than a weekend and Lorraine was incredible as always. We left our dog for over two weeks for our wedding/honeymoon. She kept us updated with photos and messages every day which helped us feel more relaxed and able to better enjoy our vacation. We love Lorraine!”
“Skipper had the best time with Katherine, Cory and the fam! She enjoyed playing with their dogs Brownie and Mocha so much she didn’t even want to come home after her stay! I received so many cute updates and pics and felt very calm knowing my baby was in great hands!”
“Outstanding experience. Shirley was very thorough with communication, made things easy for us and our dog had a great time with her. I don’t think he wanted to come home. Definitely recommend.”
“Michael ,Joanna , and the mom are awesome people.. My cat is a bit of a diva , and they won her over quickly ! I plan on being a regular customer .And they have a great personality !”
“She was absolutely lovely. My baby seemed very happy and comfortable with her, even though it was my first time leaving him. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again if I ever need a pet sitter. I won’t look anywhere else. Thank you so much!”
“Katarina was so patient with Luna and I appreciated the whole process from the intro to the pick up!! She made me and Luna feel extremely welcomed and shared plenty of pictures. I would absolutely use her again and would recommend! 10 out of 10, no notes!”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”

Wiggles had such a good time playing with her friends, we were worried she was disappointed to come home! Thank you Tamara, Maggie, and Paulie!”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for my puppy, Mabel. She was an excellent communicator, kept me updated and sent the cutest photos throughout Mabel's stay. As anyone with a puppy knows, they can be full of energy and a little chaotic at times, but Michelle handled Mabel's craziness with patience and confidence.”
“Amazing! Highly recommend Connie. She sent me pictures of Bruno and also has a amazing fenced backyard. Her dog was also adorable and got along with Bruno really well.”
“A sincere thank you to Angelica for looking after my puppy for several days, even a day longer than I had anticipated due to serious travel issues from Boston. I cannot thank Angelica enough. If she permits, I will be looking to book Angelica's services routinely in the future. Thank you sincerely Angelica. Patricio,”

Christine was able to accommodate our very last minute need for boarding and was a wonderful caregiver for our older dog, Luna. She took her on multiple walks a day, managed her meds well and sent us daily updates with photos :) Christine’s love for animals is evident - she’s very kind and I will definitely keep her at the very top of our list for any future Luna-care needs.
So grateful for Tamara and her pups! It’s a fun vacation for Wiggles every time she stays with them. Wiggles, unfortunately, wore a cone and itchy paws when we dropped her off and Tamara was so helpful making sure she had her medicine 2x a day and topical on Wiggles. When we returned, Wiggles was feeling so much better! 💖
She and her husband were great! They took really good care of my dog, and she sent me pictures throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. I could tell my dog was in good hands, and I’m very happy with the care she received. I would definitely recommend them! 🐶❤️
Jessica was the absolute best after booking with her my flight was delayed and than cancelled add and ex 24 hours of care for my puppy, not only was she totally accommodating but she kept me updates with picture and videos of him. YOU CAN TRUST HER... SHE WILL ALWAY BE MY PUPPY SITTER.
Carmen and her husband did a wonderful job taking care of our 3 year old goldendoodle. Our dog is very anxious but Carmen allowed her to warm up to her and felt better after a few days of getting to know the family. Carmen and her husband have strong knowledge and responsibility for taking care of dogs and their experience is evident when you meet them. Definitely a trusting family and would have them care for my dog again. Great communication from them when I was away on vacation.
Janeth took such great care of my senior dog while we were away for a few days. I appreciated that she sent me updates and I was able to relax knowing my dog was comfortable and in a calm environment. I would absolutely recommend Janeth and would definitely board with Janeth again!
Alicia, was an outstanding host for our pups.she met us at a park before booking to get to know the dogs and had me over to her place so I could see where they would stay. I have two bigger dogs and one is a senior. She gave meds no problem. One of the pups was feeling sick from the extreme heat. She was quick to switch to a mild diet to keep him comfortable. She updated daily with photos and videos of how they were doing. I am not sure that you will find a more conscientious, loving, and communicative pet sitter. She was amazing.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Riverside on Rover is $31.03 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of August 2026, there are 5,319 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North Riverside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% of North Riverside 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 Riverside 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 Riverside 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 Riverside.
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 Riverside 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.
