“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“This was our.. I lost count of how many times we had our dogs stay with Thao, and I must say she is awesome every single time. She always updates, always sends pictures, and makes sure the dogs are entertaining and having fun. On the way back home, they both passed out in my car.”
“This was the first time used Rover in many years, and first time with my current pup Gibby. I was a bit nervous leaving him with people we'd just met but my worry was wasted. Rizwan, Noor and their family took great care of my pup. He was walked multiple times a day, was showered with pets and was able to monitor their neighborhood from a perfect viewing spot. They kindly welcomed him (us) into their home for a very comfortable stay. Thank you Noor and Rizwan for taking such good care of Gibby.”
“Naomi and Johann helped to board Coco twice in a row. After 6 days Coco was excited to see me for a min when I picked her up but back to her old self right after and that’s exactly what you’d want - just like she only just took a walk with friends in the park. I’d be happy to bring her back next time!”
“Luciana took care of our 11 year old Beagle overnight and took extra special care of him. He enjoyed some yummy treats and a morning walk and plenty of yard time. We will definitely rebook again! Thank you!”
“Diana took really good care of our dog Lucy for over a week! She was flexible and gave us updates. When we picked up Lucy we can tell she was happy and enjoyed Diana and her family’s company! Thank you Diana for loving Lucy while we were away!”
“Love Lauren and her family! She is so good at sending daily photo updates and letting us know what is happening right away. I trust her with my pup 100% and will continue to ask her to take care of him in the future!”
“Mark and Lori did a great job hosting Charlie for his first visit in their home! It was clear that they "got him" right away and enjoyed his personality. We will definitely want to board with them again.”
“Absolutely lovely couple. This is my first time using Rover and I am so happy I chose Kazuhiro and Akemi. Your dogs will be in very good hands. Thank you both!!”
“Simply the best! My husband jokes that our pup doesn’t want to come home when she stays with Laura and Vladimir and it may not be a joke! We love having Olive stay there because we know she is safe and well taken care of!”
“Mario took great care of our Rhea when we went on vacation. He consistently updated us everyday with pictures of our dog. He responds to us right away and made us feel that Rhea is well taken cared of. Thank you, Mario!”
“Thea was great we received daily updates and pictures. Bailey had plenty of play time with Thea’s dog and the other guests staying over. Bailey has been home for a day now and seems exhausted after the great stay he had. Thea will be watching Bailey again next month and I’m sure he will get the same great care.”
“First time boarding our rescue dog and who doesn’t always get along well with other dogs. But Mayzie had a great stay! She got along well with Amy and Lamar’s dog (and cat) and they were able to separate her from a more active dog boarded during the day. They are very experienced in their understanding of dog behavior and from the pictures they sent she seemed like her happy self during the stay. Will definitely use them again!”
“I was very anxious about leaving my girls while I was on vacation. But Thomas and Kelly took great care of them and sent lots of pictures to ease my mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more since I knew my girls were in good hands.”
“Ella is kind, enthusiastic, and responsive and took great care of our 11 mo old dog! This was our first time using Rover, and I would absolutely recommend Ella to care for a friend’s beloved pet.”
“Jeanette took great care of my dog. She was communicative and took great photos. I knew my dog was better off with her than boarded somewhere.”
“Julie is amazing! We’ve used her twice now, and our dog has come home completely content, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Julie is reliable, communicates throughout the stay, and has such a loving presence that our pup certainly feels comfortable with her right away. It’s such a relief knowing he’s with someone who treats him like family. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely book with her again. HIGHLY recommend.”

Svetlana and her family took great care of my dog with medical needs. She followed my instructions by ensuring that medication/needs were given at specific times. She gave my dog plenty of attention throughout his stay and reassured me with important updates. This is the second time we've used Svetlana, and my dog ran right up to the house at drop-off--a sign of a trusted sitter! Highly recommended.
We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.
Our dog Lucky has separation anxiety and needs a lot of attention, and Teresa did an absolutely amazing job. She took great care of Lucky. She shared daily updates and pictures with us, and Lucky looked very happy. We are very satisfied with the boarding experience with Teresa and will definitely rebook in the future.
This was our first time leaving Lula with a Rover host rather than in a kennel and we were a bit nervous, but Abby immediately eased are worries with detailed updates and great photos. Abby even put Lula's suspender boots on for the walks. When it is very wet outside, Lula becomes filthy and the boots help keep her clean. Even though Lula tolerates putting the boots in, it's never an easy feat with an 80lb dog, so we were very pleased when Abby showed up a happy (dry/clean) Lula with boots on for her walks. We would 100% book with Abby again!
When my pet sitting arrangements fell through a few days before my 1-week vacation, I turned to Rover and found Janett D. She was ranked as a super sitter, had a background check, numerous repeat customers, and lived close to me. She was able to take my anxiety dog and my cat on short notice. I was very relieved to be able to keep my two pets together to comfort each other. Throughout our trip, Janett sent me updates, photos and videos. When I picked the animals up, they seemed stress-free, happy and healthy. I highly recommend Janett, but selfishly, I hope she'll still have room for my fur babies in the future! ;-)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northbrook on Rover is $51.3 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 5,160 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northbrook. 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.
93% of Northbrook 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 Northbrook 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 Northbrook 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 Northbrook.
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 Northbrook 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.
