“Bob was wonderful! Truly so kind and patient with our dog! When we arrived our dog was crying from happiness to see us and Bob was so sweet that he picked her up to cuddle her and make her feel loved! Bob provided continuous updates and photos while we were away and it helped us feel comfortable enough to enjoy our vacation! Thank you so very much Bob! You are the best!”
“The guys were great with Louie again this week. They’re always reliable and keep him social and well cared for while I’m away! I cannot recommend them enough! My travel schedule has increased temporarily and it brings so much peace of mind knowing Louie people who truly care! Louie is extremely excited to see them during every drop off.”
“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!”
“Hannah is truly amazing! Her warmth and compassion could be felt from the second we started communicating. I can’t say enough about her and the great care she gave to our girl. She creates a welcoming, well-structured environment that caters to her clients needs. We feel so lucky to have found Hannah and would highly recommend her to anyone needing loving care for their dog.”
“Karin and her family took such good care of my Lilly. It’s hard to find a dog sitter that does not have a dog. Lilly does not get along with other dogs, she wants to be the one and only. They sent me pictures of all the fun Lilly was having. She had a smile in every one. It made me happy that Lilly was so well cared for. Enen got to sleep in Karin’s daughters bed.”
“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!”
“Here’s a polished and friendly Rover-style review you can use: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Karla Karla was an amazing sitter for my dog, Charlie! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. She sent lots of updates, photos, and check-ins throughout the stay, which really reassured me that Charlie was happy and doing great. When I picked her up, she was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Karla truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Andrea was amazing!! Couldn't recommend her higher. She took great care of my beagle, Theo, and welcomed him into their home with open arms. Looking forward to the next time I'm in need of Andrea's services. Thanks again for taking care of Theo!!”
“Claire has been a wonderful caregiver, tending to the needs of our diabetic pup, Shelly. Claire sent regular updates regarding feeding and medication, as well as photos and updates about how Shelly was doing. We are so grateful to have found Claire - she truly went above and beyond in caring for our beloved pup.”
“This is the second time we have had Rico take care of our dog for the weekend and we felt so great knowing that Odin was in such good hands. Rico sent lots of pictures each day and truly made Odin feel welcome and comfortable in his home. We highly recommend Rico and his wife!”
“Our dog Luna absolutely loved staying with Ewa! She got lots of attention and enjoyed socializing with other dogs. We also appreciated Ewa’s flexibility when our flight was delayed and we needed to extend Luna’s stay. This was Luna’s second boarding with Ewa and we will be back again!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Rocky! She treated him like he was part of her own family, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in constant communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear from every message how much she genuinely cared about him. We never had to wonder how he was doing because she kept us informed every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would gladly trust Sarah with Rocky again. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic home to leave your best friend and not worry about it. We received bunch of pictures and updates along the way and overall it was great experience for us. I wouldn’t think twice about leaving Casper there again. Thank you!”
“Undra took such wonderful care of our babygirl Mala during our 4½-day trip (Wednesday through Sunday afternoon). From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. She kept us updated every single day with adorable pictures and videos, which really meant a lot while we were away. It was clear Mala was happy, comfortable, and being treated like part of the family. One of the sweetest touches was hearing how Undra’s 2-year-old daughter bonded with Mala — playing with her and even reading to her. Absolutely adorable and so heartwarming to see. You can tell Undra genuinely cares, and that kind of attention and love is hard to find. We’re truly grateful for the care she provided. We will definitely be using Undra’s services again for our future mini getaways.”
“Abigail and her family are true gems. My girl is 13 years old and typically very anxious. She is so comfortable with the family. I wish I had found Abigail and her family years ago ❤️”
“Sophie was great. She was loving and gentle with Regina George and asked a tons of questions to better understand her needs. Regina came home calm as could be and seemed to enjoy her time with Sophie and her boyfriend. Looking forward to booking again.”
“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!”
“Susan was incredible taking care of Ernie for the week!! From home made dog treats, to play time, to wonderful updates, Ernie could not have been in better hands. Thank you Susan!!”

Colleen was fantastic - took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and was great with communication and flexibility. We received regular updates with cute photos, and Colleen’s house is so well-equipped and dog-friendly with toys, beds, bowls, etc that we barely had to pack anything but food and leashes. Our dogs loved playing with her pups Teddy and Polly and came home smiling. They would love to come back!
We had our little Dachshund boarded with Kazuhiro & Akemi and found them to be extremely responsive, responsible and easy to work with. With lots of photos daily showing walks, playing and rest time, we felt reassured that our little sausage was being well looked after. I feel very comfortable recommending them!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Northfield on Rover is $66.15 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 5,229 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Northfield. About 91% of Northfield 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.
