“Hannah is wonderful with dogs. Our dog stayed three days with her and seemed to have a great time. Hannah shared many photos with us during his stay and kept us updated along the way.”
“Mary and Norm were the absolute best dog sitters! We left our 12 year old Shihtzu with them and he was treated so well. We got daily updates and knew he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Pepe came home soooo happy! He had a great time with Angela. He can't wait to go back in 3 weeks! This is the first time I've left him that he wasn't upset when he came home. Angela made me feel relieved and not worried about him being ignored or abused. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“We trusted Julio with our golden retriever while out of town for a week. We received many smiling photos of our pup assuring us she was in great hands. Julio is nice to work with and we’ll be boarding with him again.”
“Donna was absolutely outstanding. Five stars aren't nearly enough to describe how absolutely pleased I am. Donna was the absolute next best thing to being there myself. I didn't have to spend even a second wondering how Iris was doing, as she kept me up to date with her walks, meals, and even trips to the park. (She even sent lovely photos of Iris snuggling under the covers!) You can tell Donna has had a ton of dog experience. Iris can be very slow to warm to folks and can be a bit nervous, but she instantly hit it off with Donna. This was my first time leaving Iris with someone other than family, and I truly can't thank Donna enough for putting any anxiousness at ease--Iris's or mine. ;) Thank you so, so, so much, Donna!”
“Megan, provided a safe and comfortable environment for our dog. She was awesome about sending photos regularly and communixating on how she is doing. We recommend her highly.”
“Michael is a fabulous sitter!! Loved receiving daily updates, and pictures. My dog seemed to have a great time during her stay. She loved playing with all the other dogs and cuddling on the couch.”
“We bring our Mia to Jill often. She is reliable and organized. Her home is clean and the animals are well cared for. She is great at communication. We are so glad we found her on Rover.com!”
About: I promise to love your fur baby like my own! I have 3 pets currently, who are very social and love other animals. Currently we have a 6-year-old beagle mix, Ellie, who is my sidekick; Tweetie Pie, my black cat who is my twin flame, and Little Foot, my 5-year-old crested gecko. I love all animals and treat each as family. I am currently unemployed, and my fiancé works from home, so we are both always around and I take my dog Ellie on daily walks. Tending to animals is very much a part of our daily routines, and I want to help others who don't have the time like I do right now. If you are looking to board your pet in our home, he/she will have two new friends to vacation with! We have a two bedroom apartment with a dog and cat, so we are flexible with whatever is most comfortable to the owner! We have dog sat for our friends many times and kept a crate in the second bedroom, but also have had them sleep in our bed with us. I am dedicated to simply ensuring the animal feels safe and comfortable.
“Prithvi cared for Bruno for about a week and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Prithvi was communicative and attentive, keeping us regularly updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear that Bruno was not only well looked after but also genuinely happy and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Prithvi to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate dog boarder. She truly treats your pet like her own.”
“Yaqi was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate her attention and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“by far one of the best Rovers sitters we’ve had! She cared for our dog like she was their own and sent us pictures and updates throughout her stay. We would definitely book again!”
“Byron and Martha are the best. They took really good care of our dog Noki. They followed up each day with photos and followed all instructions for care. Will be reaching out again for his service thru Rover. For sure a 5 star sitter. Thanks again!”
“Stephanie and Kevin were amazing! From setting up a meet and greet (to ease my 'new to Rover' worries) to accommodating my delayed flight schedule. They truly are fond of our furry friends and it shows. I got pictures everyday and it was clear that Coco was in her element.”
“Kent did an incredible job taking care of our senior dog. He was kind and compassionate and did a wonderful job administering his medication. We would definitely recommend Kent for your pet sitting needs!”
“My pet had spent the fantastic days in her house because I felt he didn’t want to go back home with me. I appreciated about what I could get good travel due to her care.”
“I’m not one to write reviews but I know how important they were when I choose Debbie and her family to care for my dog. I had so many reservations and worries but after reading great reviews and then after our meet and greet I knew I had chosen the right person. Not only did Debbie and her family care for my dog but it was clear in the pictures I received daily that he was also given so much love to the point I wondered will he want to come back home lol. In addition to caring for our dog I told them due to a back injury Chanze was never leash trained and they took the time to leash train him as they went for daily walks. In every part of his care they went above and beyond what was expected. I will definitely be using Debbie and her family for our next trip. If you have any hesitation with using a complete stranger/an app to choose someone to watch your pet know your worries will quickly go away as this a wonderful family who will shower your pet with nothing but love.”
“I have booked with Michelle twice for my dog Bear and have been very happy with her professionalism and how she treats my beloved pet. I would highly recommend as I plan to book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vernon Hills
We had an excellent experience with Petra and she took wonderful care of Mia while we were away on vacation. From the first meeting, it was clear that Petra genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. She followed our instructions and gave our Mia plenty of attention and affection. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Mia was happy, comfortable, and clearly well-loved. We highly recommend Petra to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. We are incredibly grateful for her services and look forward to working with her again in the future. Highly recommended!
We are so grateful for Balaji and his utmost care during our dog Chucky’s stay. He was very well taken care of and we were kept up to date everyday while we were away, which we appreciated a lot. Chucky has enjoyed his time here and I recommend Balaji as a dog sitter to everyone looking for an experienced sitter who truly cares about dogs.
Asmah was wonderful with my cat Sonny! We were traveling and stayed in the area for the night. She took good care of him and I knew immediately that she was the perfect sitter for him. She sent videos and lots of pictures letting me know how he was doing and was flexible when I had a change in schedule and had to pick him up early. Asmah will be my first call each time I’m in the area and need someone to watch my little guy :)
Jisha was great. Because it was a new environment, Linny wouldn't eat his meals. Jisha literally hand fed Linny twice! She really cared about Linny like family! Really appreciate her pictures and video updates. I would definitely rebook with Jisha again! Thank you so much!
Logan was an amazing pet sitter. She took care of our three cats for three days and two nights. Logan is very patient and nurturing with pets. She gave us daily updates and sent adorable pictures. She’s very responsible and is amazing with animals. We’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Sherry took great care of our pup - she kept him active, had toys ready for him, was detail oriented when it came to his care, and sent updates with photos. It was clear he was well loved while in her home! She was easy to work with, flexible, and quick to respond/communicate.
Elena watched our 11 month old Westie, Sunny, for a week while we were on vacation. We have a trusted daily pet setter who was unavailable, so we were a little nervous leaving our baby with someone new. Elena met with us twice before we left Sunny and even did a trial pet sitting. Sunny is a picky eater and came home eating normally, happy as can be, and relaxed! We got daily pictures of our sweet girl, and we know she was well cared for! We would absolutely trust Elena with Sunny again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Vernon Hills on Rover is $43.04 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 5,048 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Vernon Hills. About 91% of Vernon Hills 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.
