About: Finalmente decidí de tener mi licencia de IL para mi compañía en cuidar perros y gatos en memoria de nuestra princesa Luna que falleció hace poco. En su honor seguiré cuidando a mascotas con el mismo amor y atención que ella tuvo en sus 15 años de vida 💕 Mi atención y tiempo siempre estará presente. Los horarios se basarán a las necesidades de las mascotas en mi casa. Cualquier pregunta me pueden mandar mensaje 💕 Tengo una jaula propia y un porche privado para la seguridad de las mascotas. También hay parques cercas de mi cuando el clima lo permita para ir a caminar.
“Third time our puppies stay with Rhondarose! I feel I can enjoy my trips because I know my two goldens are in good hands. I love all the pictures I get and the daily check in message. They look like they are having a blast with her.”
“Five very waggy stars for Meghan (and her sweet pup, Ralphie)! Meghan is absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that she is a true dog lover with tons of experience, and she knew exactly how to make our dog feel safe, happy, and completely at home. Our dog was treated like a member of her family and had the time of his life playing with Ralphie and the other dogs. The adorable photos and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away...and honestly, I think he was a little sad to come home, which is probably the highest compliment a dog can give. We will absolutely book again. Weekend at Ralphie’s is officially dog-approved!”
“Antonina stepped in on short notice which i greatly appreciate! She is a nice and communicative person. She sent pictures of my baby. Lilu looked so happy and well taken care of. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her again.”
About: I grew up in a tropical country surrounded by animals. Naturally, learning and caring for them became my passion. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I work from home, which allows me to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Your fur babies will be treated like family here! I live in a single-family home and provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.
“My sweet Meli stayed with Jill and her lovely family over an 11 night visit. Each and every day, I received a message from Jill with a nice update and photo of Meli and how she was doing. She was doing great getting lots of love and attention. We haven't left her for this long before and I was very comfortable with knowing she was in a safe and loving environment. Thanks Jill and family for everything! Meli passes along a "hi" to her new friends, Buddy & Sophie!”
“Denis and Nikki are great sitters of our two dogs. They provide wonderful affection and care, and truly make our dogs feel like members of their family. The dogs came back to us very happy and healthy after an extended stay. I highly recommend them to others!”
“Katerina was just what our Jack needed while we were out of town. She was very flexible, and super sweet to our Jack!! She was very warm and welcoming. She sent videos and pics daily and took him to the dog park quite a bit. I know we will definitely use Katerina again in the future.”
“Thank you for providing Hans with a fun and attentive experience while we were out of town!!! Hans had so much fun playing with his fellow dog friends in your fenced backyard! He sure is sleepy. That says a lot for a puppy.”
“My little dog LOVEs to go visit Ewa, Bob and the rest of his doggie friends he gets to see there. Ewa and Bob obviously love having doggie friends over to visit them. I am so blessed to have found such a wonderful place to take care of my special little guy. Ewa's personal dogs may look big but they are SO gentle. I never saw such mellow dogs. Thanks Ewa and Bob.”
“Byron and Martha were great with my dogs , they kept me updated and provided me with pictures throughout the day. I really appreciate the wonderful care that they give , I would recommend as many people to book asap !!!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and love them so much! I have experience with puppies as well as our senior friends. Walks and playtime are my specialty! I work at home and am able to take great care of your pup. I have a yard and am close to a park for plenty of outside time. I can adjust to the routine your dog is used to. I am very flexible. I take one client at a time so my whole focus will be on your dog. Just let me know your needs.
“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.”
“Julia helped us with a last minute weekend stay for our senior dog. She sent daily pictures with updates about how he was doing. She’s had a senior dog herself and was familiar with his medicine and was able to give the pills without a problem. Her home had no stairs, which was perfect for our dog since he has arthritis. She lives in a beautiful, quiet, safe neighborhood with minimal traffic and sidewalks perfect for walks.”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“Our dog’s stay with Michelle was longer than in prior stays but I received the same service - attention and daily detailed updates! My observation- she’s meticulous with the dogs and very detailed with their care. You can tell that she cares for them. Appreciate the help as always and will use her services again in the future!!”
“Angela and Dave took great care of our girl Ivy! The updates and videos were really helpful knowing that she adjusted well and was having a great time playing with Honey. Highly recommend!”

We had a wonderful experience with Balaji. We needed a sitter for our two week international trip and were nervous because this was our one-year-old toy poodle's first time being away from us. From the very beginning, Balaji reassured us that our dog would be well cared for. He even offered a short trial stay at his home so our dog could become familiar with the environment before the boarding stay. During that two hour trial stay, Balaji sent us photos and videos, which gave us confidence that our dog was comfortable and in good hands. Throughout the two week boarding period, Balaji sent multiple photos and videos every day, allowing us to see that our dog was comfortable and receiving good care. He was also very responsive and replied to our messages very quickly. Knowing that our dog was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We highly recommend Balaji to anyone looking for a caring and reliable 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.
Asmah took wonderful care of our cat at her home while we were away. Her place was spotless, she cared for our kitty excellently with daily photos and updates. This was our first time boarding our cat, so we were very worried, but our cat stayed comfortably like at home and was so lovingly pampered. We’re extremely grateful and will definitely book with Asmah again! Highly recommend her on Rover.
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Vernon Hills on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 5,135 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Vernon Hills. About 90% 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.
