I would absolutely recommend Susan to others! Ps: Ryo misses Roo already!”

They were communicative throughout her stay and shared daily updates/photos. I've actually never seen her get comfortable with new people so quickly (she was handing out belly rubs on day 2 which is not typical for her lol). So thankful to have found them as sitters and hope to keep using them in the future!”

She has dog toys and a fenced yard! She is very accommodating and understanding of Bianca’s food schedule! She even will give her filtered water, talk about spoiled! 🤣 book with her, you won’t be disappointed and bright will your fur baby! My mind is always at ease when she’s under her care <3”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Riverside
Bailey took wonderful care of our 12 year old dog Abby, going above and beyond to be sure Abby felt safe and comfortable. Bailey is well versed in the needs of older dogs and we were so appreciative of her efforts to be sure Abby ate (she is a fussy eater) and got lots of exercise (Abby loves to walk). We hope to book time Abby to stay with Bailey during our next trip out of town and recommend Bailey as with great enthusiasm and no hesitations. Thank you Bailey!
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.
I left my baby puppy with Jasmin and her husband for a week, and they were absolutely amazing. They kept in contact the whole time, and updated me with occasional pictures and videos. She’s so nice, and after our first meeting I was completely comfortable leaving my little puppy in her care. It’s always been incredibly important that my dogs receive adequate attention and care, and I know she did the absolute most when it comes to my Moonpie. I’d definitely book again.
Pax had such a fun time at Karen’s house! They played a lot of frisbee and she had tons of toys for him to play with. Karen was super on top of things, very kind, and she sent us lots of pictures and updates! Pax seemed completely at home and totally at ease there. Thank you Karen!!
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!

There are 5,573 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in North Riverside. About 91% of North Riverside 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.
