“Tatiana was dedicated to providing good care to our 6 month old cat and consistently provided updates with photos for the whole stay. Our cat genuinely looked relaxed and happy while we were gone.”
“Julie was so welcoming for my dog. She took such good care of her and sent tons of great pictures. If I am ever in the area again I will undoubtedly be choosing Julie M. to take very good care of my girl!”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”
About: Caring for my dog over the years has taught me not just the basics of pet care, but how important it is to truly understand the needs of every pet. Whether it’s helping a playful puppy learn good behavior or offering gentle support to senior pets, I’m dedicated to ensuring they’re comfortable, happy, and safe. I pride myself on going beyond the basics, so your pet feels like part of the family while you’re away. I’m available to care for your pet during evenings on weekdays and throughout the weekend. Whether it’s a stroll in the park, playtime, or simply relaxing together, I make sure your pet feels loved and well-looked-after during my available hours. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. There’s plenty of space for them to explore. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to maintain their routine, whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I’m dedicated to meeting their specific needs and making sure they’re always happy and safe.
“Bob was amazing with my 2 dogs! I have total trust in his care and the attention that he provided. My 2 are rescues and his temperament with them was just perfect. You can really tell that Bob enjoys dogs and cares for mine like his own! He also had excellent communication and went above and beyond providing updates and photos. What's more-when my flight was delayed Bob kept them for an extra night no questions asked which was amazing and so helpful. We will definitely be back!”
“Julie is fantastic with dogs. She takes great care of Harlie, as if she were her own. Her sweet Pug Daisy is such a lovely companion for my dog. Such a great dog sitter!”
“Michael is a fabulous sitter!! Loved receiving daily updates, and pictures. My dog seemed to have a great time during her stay. She loved playing with all the other dogs and cuddling on the couch.”
“Doug & Deb were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Mae! They gave her lots of attention, cuddles, and walks. It was a relief to know that she was getting such great care (and having a fantastic time) while we were away.”
“It was my first time leaving my dog with Cristina and she was great! Very reassuring and sent pictures to me over the weekend to let me know Addie was doing just fine. Will definitely use Cristina again. Thanks!”
“Hi , Kichu had a great time with Mario. He texted me and also replied my text in a timely manner so I could solve the problem easily . I was able to enjoy my trip peacefully. He sent me Kichu’s pictures and videos.I highly consider Mario next time. Thank you for your service.”
“I would highly recommend Vicki to watch your dog. She was very easy to communicate with. Drop off and Pick up were very organized and Vicki made me feel comfortable leaving Lucy with her. I received updates and photos while I was away - Lucy always looked happy!”
“Melissa was the absolute best! This was my first time using rover in Chicago and we sure lucked out! She boarded our dog for 5 days and had the best care. Her family and dogs were so welcoming and Melissa was so communicative. Drop off and pick up was smooth. Oso came back happy and healthy. Melissa went above and beyond and I would recommend her to everyone! I will definitely be a repeat client.”
“Mocha had an awesome stay at Jiayi’s. She is well taken care of and had lots of fun hanging out with her other furry friends. Jiayi is very accommodating and she even replaced Mocha’s broken leash and took time to look for a similar one. Great sitter!”
“Colleen met with my dog at our house first and was attentive to my instructions for our dog during our conversations. She will take your pet’s needs seriously and was genuinely caring about animals. Although we had to change our pet sitting plans, I can say that Colleen offers a variety of nice options for your pet sitting needs. It’s nice to have that flexibility with a pet sitter.”
“Gabriela welcomed Roxie in her home in a gentle way. Roxie is often skittish, even at home. She sent great pictures and a cute video. Her home is beautiful and the family is sweet. I felt comfortable leaving Roxie there. Gabriela lives close by us and I believe that Roxie would be happy to go back.”
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
“Thea is the best dog sitter I have ever encountered. She is loving, caring, patient, flexible and with lots of experiences with dogs. She provided us plenty of updates, photos, and suggestions to improve my handling with dog. She is truly appreciated and we will definitely book her again.”

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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,311 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Northbrook. About 91% of Northbrook 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.
