“Andria did such a wonderful job watching Oliver! She took care of him for a little over two weeks while I was on vacation. She gave me regular updates and sent me a few pics. She made sure that Oliver was part of the family. He quickly settled in and got comfortable with her and her kids. When I returned to pick up Oliver, he didn't even want to go home! He was calm and relaxed when I saw him and not the least bit anxious. I could tell that he was at ease in her home. I would not hesitate to use her again for pet sitting!”
“Amberly was super accommodating and was a lifesaver when our sitter canceled last minute, and our pup had so much fun playing that she slept like a rock when we brought her home! Also she took amazing photos of our pup as an added plus :)”
“Tucker has the best time when he stays with Jeanette and Charles. Long walks and lots of fun playing in their large fenced-in yard. They send plenty of fun pictures and videos!”
“Great communication and terrific care for our dog, including daily walks. Love that Brian only takes dogs from one family at a time. Already scheduled for our second visit with Brian.”
“I cannot recommend Bailey enough! I was out of the country for a week, with little to no signal, and Bailey still managed to keep me updated as much as she could. My dog, Leo, wasn't eating alot in the beginning and Bailey did everything she could to get him eat and gave him a bath or two after rolling he rolled in poop lol. It was my first time using Rover and I'm so glad I came across her profile! Also, it was a last minute booking and she was able to accept Leo. Thank you, Bailey, for taking care of Leo as if he was your own pup. I know he misses you! Will definitely be rebooking!”
“Barbara is amazing! She came through last minute for Molly! We did a meet and greet Molly liked her instantly. She sends lots of pictures. We even did a second visit. I feel like its a treat for Molly too! She walked in last visit like it was her home. I highly recommend Barbara. She loves animals and you can tell.”
“Lyn and family stepped up for us when our boarding situation fell apart mid trip. Our dog is already super anxious and was coming from another anxiety producing situation when she arrived as a guest at Lyn's, but when we picked her up after several days with Lyn and family she was her normal happy self. We are so grateful!”
“Mary was great with Bernard. He was a happy camper when we picked up him and he was getting lots of time outside and attention - both of which he loves. She responded quickly to messages and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. There where several other dogs around and also other people. I would use Mary again!”
“My dog loved Eniya and family!! She sent me pics while I was on vacation. She has a son so my Dog(Bears) had someone to play with. I felt like my dog was on vacation too. My vacation was worry free thanks to Eniya! Eniya and family are good people I could tell! I will gladly use her again😍 Big thank you Eniya!”
“Lauren and her family took such good care of our dog Sawyer! This was our first time being away from our puppy so we were worried she was going to be scared, but she had so much fun playing with their dog Zoe while we were away. Lauren sent us pictures everyday to let us know how she was doing. By the time we got back, Sawyer was already attached to Lauren, Zoe, and the rest of the family.”
“So grateful to have found Shannon, Nick and family to watch our dog! They were so accommodating, warm and friendly and took him on frequent walks! Also sent lots of pics! I feel so comfortable leaving him with them again. Thank you!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful experience. I got pictures and updates everyday. My little guy had so much fun he loved his time there and made new friends. So much so that the day he went back home he was a little sad. He missed his new buddies. Definitely would recommend and will be a repeat customer.”
“Dezmond was so accommodating to our last minute request. Greeted us with a super friendly demeanor and Nani acted like she knew him for years! He took her on multiple walks and sent photos and videos which is always appreciated :) will definitely use his services again! Nani is currently passed out in the car from all the fun she had with him and his pups 🐾”
“Jackie and her family were amazing with our dog. They took amazing care of him, and even took him out to play a few times. Jackie kept me updated with pictures and videos though-out the weekend. Our dog enjoyed his visit and I will be booking Jackie next time we’re in need of a sitter!!”
“I cannot rave enough about how wonderful Jonelle and her family are! They took such great care of my dog Topo! Topo is an anxious dog but shortly after being dropped off at Jonelle’s house, she was comfortable, playing fetch, and enjoying the company of her family and two pups! She was always sending me updates and photos which help me feel relieved all weekend. I truly would recommend Jonelle’s care if you want your pup to feel at home and be loved like family. Thank you so much Jonelle and family I know Topo had a blast!”
“Joe is literally the BEST! I know Zara is loved in his care and he treats her like a doggie queen. Lots of walks, pictures and playtime. Thanks so much for the peace of mind when I’m traveling! 💕”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northlake
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!
5 stars is simply not enough for this special, God-sent woman. Oh my goodness—where do I even begin? Ms. Cheryl came into my life at the exact perfect time. She has such a warm, caring spirit and treated my two dogs as if she had known and loved them forever. The constant love and attention she gave—both in person and through pictures and videos—was truly priceless and gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of genuine, loving care for their pets. And I will most definitely continue to use her services for as long as I possibly can. You truly can’t go wrong with her. Highly, highly recommend!
Yolanda was incredibly responsible and caring while taking care of Aurora. She provided regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us great peace of mind. Aurora had a wonderful time and even got along well with the other cat in the home. It was obvious that Yolanda truly cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely trust her with Aurora again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Northlake on Rover is $40.87 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 5,553 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Northlake. About 91% of Northlake 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.
