“My first sit with Beryl and my pup and I couldn’t be happier! She was flexible, kind and energetic, and sent pictures regularly. Communication was great and Dory came home happy. 😊”
“Groot had a great time with Michelle and her family. He was really cared for and had a fun time staying with them. We really appreciated the photos and updates throughout his stay. We would highly recommend Michelle and would definitely leave Groot in her care in the future.”
“Rob was so great with our dog Rory! He was very attentive and sent along tons of great pictures and updates. She definitely had a great time at his house, playing in the yard, and snuggling on the couch. Thanks Rob!!”
“Kimberly took care of my dog for a week and was fantastic. She was very responsive and sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay. My dog looked happy and comfortable the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave. I’d happily have her watch him again.”
“Sarah was a great host, our dog Sammy had a wonderful time. She was caring, sent constant updates, and supported him as he adjusted to her home. I highly recommend!”
“I recently used Andria's service and left my Nina in her care for 10 days. I am very pleased with the overall experience. Andria is very quick in communicating before and during the stay. She sent regular updates and pics during the stay. My pet came home very Happy. Andria and her family took great care of my pet. She is going to be my go-to sitter for all future needs. I highly recommend Andria”
“Angel was great. We spent about 11 days in Europe and she took great care of Mayla. Mayla has separation anxiety so we were happy to find a sitter who has dogs at home and regularly sits other doggies. We 100% recommend Angel.”
“Cindy was so loving and gentle with Diamond. Diamond came home so peaceful. I will definitely book again with her. Thank you for treating our fur baby as your own. And thank you for your flexibility with our trip.”
“Maria was amazing with my dog!! I was so nervous leaving my dog with someone other than family. Lucy is a rescue so she has been through it. Maria and her daughter took such good care of my pup and sent pictures daily.”
“Connie is very loving and sweet with our dog. She always has a great time playing with Connie’s dogs, it’s like a sleep away camp for her! Connie is very good at communicating and works with you on scheduling pickup and drop off times. We have had our dog stay with Connie three times and will continue to come back!”
“Baily did an outstanding job taking care of our little Greta (6 years old pug/boston terrier mix rescue). She kept us updated on Greta's stay with her and it was obvious from the updates and accompanying photos that Greta was feeling right at home and being showered with affection by Baily.”
“Gabriela and Richard were so kind and sweet with my toy poodle! They even took her on little adventures to get doggie ice cream and nice walks around the neighborhood, aside from plenty of outside time in their own fenced-in backyard! Gabriela was super great about texting updates and super cute pics of my girl! And they even got her to eat a good bit while I was away even though she usually tries to go on a hunger strike in my absence. Gabriela met us for like 15 mins at the local park before boarding and got to know my dog and garner some info from me, which I really appreciated and not a lot of boarders do that! My girl was very happy when I picked her up and I would absolutely rebook Gabriela and Richard! Highly recommend!”
“Kent was available at a weeks notice and fast to respond. Immediate rapport with our dog, very attentive and asked questions to make sure he knew exactly what to do in terms of food, medication, etc. Very positive experience, definitely recommended.”
“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”
“Brian was so great watching our pup Mowgli! We felt comfortable knowing Mowgli was in good hands, Brian provided regular updates and great communication. As this was our first time leaving Mowgli with a sitter we were so glad to find Brian! Highly recommend!”
“Cheryl is an excellent sitter. Our dog Rambo is always excited to go and spend time with her. It is clear that she loves animals and we are grateful to have found her. Cheryl is our preferred choice for our pet sitting and boarding needs.”
“Jasmine was amazing to work with. We have an elderly dog who needs gentle care and Jasmine definitely provided that. We received frequent updates and pictures which put us at ease knowing our dog was having a great time and in caring hands. We highly recommend Jasmine for your pet care needs!”
About: I work from home and my job requires very little actual attention (fortunately). I have a lot of time to dedicate to a pet and the space for it too! I work from home full time, but my job requires very little actual attention so most of my time clocked in allows me to do other things. I am always home unless I have errands, the gym, or appointments to get to. Other than that, I frequently visit my local parks for walks during my break and after or before work! I have big backyard where pets can play and run around! My neighborhood is very walkable and I like to visit my local parks a lot too!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Northlake is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northlake
We had such a wonderful experience with Erica! Our pug can be very nervous and anxious, so leaving her with someone new was something we were a little worried about. Erica was incredibly patient, caring, and understanding from the very beginning. She took the time to make our pug feel comfortable, gave her lots of love and attention, and treated her like she was her own. Knowing that our little fur baby was safe, happy, and well cared for gave us such peace of mind while we were away. When we came back, our pug was comfortable and happy, and that meant everything to us. We truly appreciate the love, patience, and care Erica gave her. We would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their fur baby. Thank you, Erica, for taking such wonderful care of our nervous little pug! ❤️🐾
I recently used Andria's service and left my Nina in her care for 10 days. I am very pleased with the overall experience. Andria is very quick in communicating before and during the stay. She sent regular updates and pics during the stay. My pet came home very Happy. Andria and her family took great care of my pet. She is going to be my go-to sitter for all future needs. I highly recommend Andria
Cheryl was a perfect and dog sitter for my 2 year old hyper mixed yorkie. Right away she made "Bentley" feel right at home and provided a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere for him to browse both in and outside her home. She treated him as her own pup by catering to his every need. I'm definitely recommending her services at the highest rating possible and will continue to choose Miss Cheryl in the future. You won't be disappointed with her abilities and experience!
Robert and his family took excellent care of Spruce while we were away on an extended trip for nearly two weeks. Our pup is a one year old with a lot of energy for playing and had such a blast playing endless fetch in their fenced yard and with the dogs who would come by for in-home daycare. We got absolutely regular updates (with absolutely incredible action shots!) while we were traveling and it was clear to see Spruce was having a wonderful time and was being well cared for, and that knowledge and peace of mind is such a gift especially when we were thousands of miles away. Highly recommend!

Most bookings cost between $25 and $84 per night. 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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Northlake can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Northlake 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 Northlake.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Northlake 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.
