“Daisy seems like she enjoyed her time with Vicki and the family. She was happy coming home as well. I really enjoyed receiving the pictures of Daisy playing with Trixie. I definitely will use Vicki again in the future. Donna Meskan”
“Michael is very pleasant and welcoming. Always has a smile on his face. Daisy just loves going there. The pictures Mike sends shows how happy Daisy is while in his care. Mike took her for several walks which she loves. His dogs get along with Daisy too. Micheal goes that extra mile on the care of the dogs. 🐾”
“Thea was the best. She’s very gentle and loving. You can tell she really loves pets and takes good care of them. I really appreciate her sending me updates (pictures and videos) every now and then. She was also sweet to send us guides and tips on how to train and handle our puppy. Thanks thea!:)”
“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”
“Lauren, and her family, were so kind, communicative and caring for our old boy! We couldn’t have been happier with Aspen’s care and are so grateful he was in such great hands!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Clarissa made this a wonderful experience. Communication was great and she will tailor to your pups personality and needs! She was warm and friendly and I am pretty sure my pup wanted to stay a little longer. 😆”
“My Chamie spent one night with them, she got back home so happy!! They are amazing people who loves dogs! Akemi sent me photos and updates about my dog. Definitely I’ll use their services again!”
“Tatiana is the absolute best sitter we have worked with. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos and took excellent care of our two dogs. Tatyana showed them lots of attention and care. Will definitely be working again with Tatyana in the future!”
“Blue had the best time with Gabriela & her family! She was well taken care of and looked so happy in all of the videos Gabriela sent. Blue had tons of play time with Gabriela and her family, but also spent lots of time cuddling on the couch with them. Gabriela made my time on vacation so enjoyable knowing I didn't have to worry about how Blue was doing. I am so happy that Blue stayed with her and would 100% recommend! Will be using her again :)”
About: I have cared for both small and large animals for over 21 years. Your pet will be staying with a very loving, responsible, and respectful family I work from home so someone is home all day every day. I also have a fenced yard for your dog to roam and go out as needed. I provide meals according to owner's instructions and clean up as needed. Also actively partake in play and exercise for the pets which I genuinely enjoy doing.
“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.”
“Brian did a fantastic job watching my dog, including giving medication 2x per day, and dealing with her anxiety being away from home. He was also flexible and accomodating when my travel plans unexpectedly fell through. Would definitely use Brian again in the future!”
“Ewa doesn’t disappoint! Olive loved her stay and feels so at home with Ewa. She loves the big fenced yard and all the attention and playtime, and I love getting all the updates, photos and videos. Ewa was flexible in allowing me to extend Olive’s stay as I was recovering from surgery. I really appreciated that. I’m so blessed and thankful to have such a wonderful environment and sitter for Olive!”
“Winnie had a great time playing with Loki! I got photo updates and it was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. So easy, will definitely book again!”
“After meeting Melissa and her dogs, we felt very comfortable leaving our doggy with her 9 nights. The family is friendly, the home is cozy, and we liked the big yard. We also liked the updates we received and photos she sent during his stay. Melissa was super responsive and provided updates how our dog was doing with his food, and getting along with her dogs. It was our first time using Rover, and we were very pleased with the experience. We were happy to find Melissa and recommend her to anyone to feel at ease while on vacation.”
“Our dog had a great time! The family and their dog were very friendly, and they will update you every day with cute pictures! They’re very accommodating and will do a first meet and greet for both of our dogs to get to know each other. They’re very attentive and really made our dog feel welcomed and relaxed. It was a great peace of mind. I highly recommend Cindy.”

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! ;-)
Svetlana went above and beyond with the care she gave my dog during a 5-night stay. Her home is a safe and clean environment with a very gentle dog! Her warmth and love for dogs shine through! She is attentive to detail, and followed my dog's routine, including administering the required medication. Love receiving the regular photo updates! Will definitely be back!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Northbrook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 5,347 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.
