“I had a last minute thing come up and Livia/Matthew were so helpful! They responded so quickly and were super thorough with not only questions beforehand but with updates throughout my 3 dogs daycare. I have 3 dogs, one of which is a 5-month old neutered puppy, which they gave great updates about and lots of pictures! Thank you guys so much for your last minute help!! I will definitely be using them for care again!!”
“Julie has been an accommodating and loving caregiver to our Bella. Bella really seems to enjoy her time at Julie's place. She will be our first-choice sitter whenever we need a caregiver for Bella. Thank you Julie!”
“A last minute booking on my end and Nicole was a lifesaver! Swooping in to watch my fur baby and deliver such care, attention, love and adventure. I’m very lucky to have stumbled across such a good caretaker.”
“This is the first time we’ve had someone (who is not our family) watch our dog. I was very nervous especially be in Poppy is young - she’s just a year old. Noor watched Poppy for a day. Noor was so patient with her - poppy was initially apprehensive to go in their house, but Noor took her time to ensure Poppy was comfortable. Noor asked questions about feeding, walks, general behavior & preferences. this put me at ease knowing she was thinking these. We did this trial daycare in preparation for a longer stay for Poppy later this year. Noor was also very communicative with texts and also a video! We were happy with the care poppy received and plan to book with Noor again!”
About: I started caring for animals when I was 11 years old. I grew up with dogs, volunteered at animal shelters, and have a cat of my own. I have always been the one to call when my friends need a pet sitter and I am happy to oblige! I love going for walks and enjoying fresh air and time in nature and I would love to make sure your pet receives the same enrichment. I am a very empathetic person and do my best to understand the needs of all animals. I am an online grad student so I have tons of free time. I am an early riser and can take your pet for early walks. I’m attentive, gentle, and cautious when caring for animals. I clean up after messes and am nurturing to furry friends. I’m respectful, reliable, and trustworthy.
“We were so blessed that Bob was not only available on a Saturday at short notice, but willing to watch our three fur babies, one them elderly and in need of medication! We are from out of state, and had to bring the dogs with us. Saturday required us to be a part of an all-day 50th anniversary celebration, so the dogs needed to be attended to for 10 hours. Bob was incredibly gracious, caring, and attentive to details about our furbies; especially our sweet Maddie, who is blind and requires medication three times a day. What a gift to us to not have to worry about them! We received updates throughout the evening, and when we returned to pick them up, all was well. The pups were happy and had a good time. Bob, we will look for you again if we are ever in Chicago with our dogs. I cannot express how grateful we are to have found you!”
About: I have professional experience caring for different types and sizes of dogs, through fostering as well as previous employment as a walker. I am a dog lover and working part-time from home. My husband also works from home and we are both able to care for the needs of your dog, and we have a large dog door and a fenced-in yard for outdoor activity. We have a dog-friendly brown mixed Shar Pei, Rufus, who enjoys dog friends, walks in our lovely neighborhood, and going to the Gillson dog beach. We would welcome a Meet and Greet, thank you! I work part-time from home and can easily cater to whatever your pet needs are. We are a family open to all caring for your dog. We have a fenced-in yard with a dog door, and I can provide daily walks. I have cared for many different breeds and sizes.
“D’Artagnan is a great provider for our boy and made sure to send us updates every once in a while to let us know he was doing alright. Reassuring and understood things our boy couldn’t eat or do. Overall very satisfied and believe our boy had a great time.”
“Daphne had a fabulous time with Svitlana! I was somewhat of a nervous wreck since my dog was attacked a few months ago by another dog and Svitlana was attentive to our needs and made sure Daphne still had a great time! HIGHLY recommend her!”
“If you need a reliable, flexible, and kind pet sitter, look no further than Rebeca. She took my pups on short notice and didn't blink an eye when I realized I had accidentally booked a 2-hour visit instead of 14 hours. She was happy to keep them the whole day, communicated proactively with fun updates and photos, and gave them access to a massive fenced-in yard that they absolutely loved. She made a stressful booking mistake completely stress-free. Thank you, Rebeca!”
“Sandra and her family were wonderful! She sent a video and picture of Bitsy. She also let Bitsy lay across her neck and watch her work. Thank you for being so kind and gentle with my dog. I would highly recommend this family!”
“Cynthia did a great job caring for our dog. She was flexible and accommodating and went above and beyond. We were traveling thru town for 3 days and needed a dog sitter. We highly recommend her.”
About: I have years of experience fostering and sitting kittens, puppies and adult dogs. Both my dogs have lived with all of the animals I’ve cared for and 3 additional dogs when we had a roommate. They do well with all personalities and age groups. Being around animals has given me much experience in cases of emergencies. I can recognize an emergency in time and act quickly but calmly. When house sitting I always search the closest pet emergency room or hospital in the area I am in. I don’t want to sound grime with all of the emergency talk but I am empathetic towards pet parents who have anxiety of leaving their babies with someone. My other main priority is that your pet experiences as little separation anxiety as well by keeping them happy and busy. I believe pets should receive the same love and care as a child. Im a stay at home mom my entire day revolves around babies. Every one demands constant attention and I’ve basically just accepted my fate lol. So I figured the more the marrier. We have so much hosting different babies Nala is especially excited to have a friend to play with she’s the star of the show and has become best friends with every dog she’s ever met within 5 mins. Nuki will be snoring on the couch but is very friendly and has no teeth. We have a pretty open layout with lots of room to run around or lounge on various doggie beds around the house I allow pets on the couch and in my bed and make sure everyone feels at home and included.
“Eileen is wonderful! Our dog requires special attention due to a recent surgery. I was hesitant on leaving him with anyone. She was great with the special needs he required. She was attentive to him and kept us posted on his daily stay with her. She included pictures as well. Will be using Eileen again. Hoping that our pooch is better with his surgery at that time.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northbrook
My first time using Rover and Danielle was super sweet and made the experience great! She took great care of my puppy and even let me come in to help him settle in for a bit at the beginning. She was sitting another dog, which I was hoping would help Bailey’s socialization and Danielle was great with helping my puppy adjust and gain confidence around another dog. Really appreciate her, and I’m sure Bailey appreciated her backyard to run around in too!!
I had a last minute thing come up and Livia/Matthew were so helpful! They responded so quickly and were super thorough with not only questions beforehand but with updates throughout my 3 dogs daycare. I have 3 dogs, one of which is a 5-month old neutered puppy, which they gave great updates about and lots of pictures! Thank you guys so much for your last minute help!! I will definitely be using them for care again!!
We are looking for warm home for our Shichon while we are away on a trips. We found Mark and Lori closeby. They were very accomodating with big house and very nice & big fenced backyard. They sent update frequently with pictures which is very nice. I know our dog had good and comfortable stay.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Northbrook is $37 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $67 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Northbrook commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 3,597 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of IL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
