“Emily is an excellent dog sitter. I've used her twice and will continue in the future. My dog is very comfortable with her in which gives me peace. Excellent communication and she sends pic. She's a great person.”
“Nicole and everyone did such a great job taking care of my dog and kitten! The kitten I literally found a week before I had to leave on my trip and she didn't mind taking him in too. I know my dog can be lots of work. She shared pictures every day which I absolutely love. I'll definitely be using her again! She also runs a daycare, so I'm glad my dog had plenty of friends to play with. Thanks again!”
About: I bring 12 years of hands-on experience with a local dog rescue, including fostering, training, and caring for dogs of many breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. We have fostered everything from young puppies to dogs over 100 pounds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I’m also comfortable administering medications and providing extra care when needed. My experience has taught me to pay close attention to a dog’s behavior, body language, comfort level, and individual personality. Because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. Most importantly, I understand that every dog is different. I take the time to learn what makes your dog comfortable, happy, and feel at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work full-time from home and don’t travel for work. Your dog will have plenty of companionship, attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away How I Care for Pets Our personal dog passed away a few years ago, and while we aren’t ready to get another dog just yet, we truly miss having one around. He was spoiled and treated like another member of the family, and that is the same warmth and care I provide to every dog I look after. I offer in-home boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in their own home, I’ll follow their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“We couldn’t ask for better care for our fur baby! They love Floyd like their own and Floyd loves them back! We especially appreciate all the photos and updates about how he was doing while we were gone. The best Rover experience ever!”
“Tara was great with Trapper. She was super flexible and easy to work with and sent several pics so we knew he was having fun and being well taken care of. We weren’t sure if he’d be ok playing with her dogs, but they were super sweet and immediately accepted him as part of the group. He had a blast while we were away.”
“I’m so grateful for Christina and Ricky. My pet is treated with so much love and attention—just like family! I received updates and photos, and came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I would absolutely book them again because when I’m on vacation, so is my baby!”
“Fabienne was fantastic with my Ginny girl! She sent lots of updates and pictures so I could follow along. Very good communication and she is very sweet and caring. Will definitely use again!!”
“Madison did an excellent job taking care of my dog! She sent me pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind, and he looked so happy and comfortable with her. I really appreciate the wonderful care she gave him and would absolutely recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Kelly. Bella was well taken care of and seemed to have been happy to "bond" with her dogs. Kelly was easy to communicate with and sent photos and updates . I would definitely board my dog with her again .”
“A stay with Rebecca is fabulous. So clean, so much yard time, so many cozy places to nap and sleep, sweet play buddies and keeps A on his medications! We can’t thank you enough. We’ll be rebooking soon!”
“I can't say enough great things about Vanessa! She did an amazing job taking care of my senior dog, Bailey. Not only did she keep me updated regularly with messages and adorable pictures, but she was also incredibly sweet and attentive to him. It's clear that she truly loves animals and treats them with the utmost care and compassion. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for someone to take special care of their dog. You can trust her to make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well looked after! I will definitely be using her again.”
“my babies, Jaxon nine-year-old lab mix, Bree six year old Shepherd mix and Ziva three-year-old German Shepherd all stayed with Carrington for several days and they were so well treated!!! I received so many photos and videos and updates from Carrington. I felt very comfortable with my babies staying with her. I will be using Carrington for all of my boarding needs. xoxo”
“Dorothy was amazing! I can tell Loki had a great time because he almost didn’t want to leave! Dorothy was great with communication and provided photos and videos during the boarding. I would definitely book with her again!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Chelsea and Fernando! They were incredibly caring, reliable, and conscientious about keeping our dog on her normal routine. They paid close attention to her feeding schedule, walks, and daily habits, helping her feel comfortable and at home while we were away. Communication was also excellent. We received regular updates and photos, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or messages. It was clear that they genuinely cared about our dog and wanted to make sure she was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again!”

Emily took such wonderful care of my dog. In all the pictures she sent back, my dog, Mobes was so happy and looked like she was having a great time! It really gave me peace of mind while I was on my trip. Emily also took such high quality pictures of my dog. They looked professional grade! When I picked up my dog she was healthy and happy. It seems like Mobes had as much fun during her stay as I had on my own trip! Thank you again, Emily!
Haley and her daughter are absolutely awesome! They took such good care of my Kali girl during her puppy phase. She communicated so well and kept me updated on all of the things. I was nervous using Rover for the first time but I have found someone I can 1000% trust. Thank you guys so much!!! 🩷
Katlyn took excellent care of our dog while we were on vacation. Pictures and updates on behavior daily. Our pup was able to make herself at home with Katlyn...maintaining her usual "spots" on furniture, getting lots of snuggles and playtime, and keepinga similar bathroom/meal/bedtime routine while we were away. Katlyn was also quick to let us know of any abnormal behavior or possible medical concerns that we may not have been aware of. Can't recommend her enough. I don't go away often, but if a sitter is ever needed again, Katlyn will be the first one I reach out too!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Northlake is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $56 per night. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 522 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northlake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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.
Tip: 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 SC 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.
