“Brittany took great care of my cat while out of town! It was clear from the get-go that she’s an organized, responsible pet sitter who loves animals and takes their personalities/routines/preferences into account. We appreciated the detailed updates and pictures from each check in, it was reassuring to know our cat was in good hands. Highly recommend Brittany and we’ll definitely work with her again!”

About: My name is Justin and I'm a professional actor, traveling the world! I'm a big animal lover, a true dog person, and I'd love to spend time with your doggo. Over the pandemic, my family got a beautiful black Labrador puppy (Lucy), and I ended up being the one to train her. I discovered I not only enjoy spending most of my time with dogs, but I have a knack for giving them friendly discipline, keeping them engaged, and helping them learn obedience. I've watched dogs for many friends over the years, and feel confident I can show some love to pups all over the world. love taking walks (and runs) with dogs, playing fetch, and most definitely flying a frisbee around the yard. Things I offer in my time with your pet: - Attentive and engaged - optimal interaction with your dog based on your/their needs - Active - let's tucker your pupper out, doing what they enjoy most (running, walking, swimming, fetch, etc.) - Socialization - depending on your dogs comfort interacting with the outside world, I feel confident bringing your dog into public areas under a watchful eye and allowing them to connect with other dogs and loving humans. Always ready to separate a negative connection if need be. - Discipline/Obedience - I am more than happy to spend time reinforcing any training the dog is working through or learning with a trainer or from you! - Housesitting! Happy to spend the night with your doge and keep them company! ...As long as there are no cats at the house too, sorry cat families :( Let's connect! I'm sure it'll be a treat! As an actor, my schedule is always in flux. However, when I'm not doing a gig, my schedule is pretty flexible and open! Let's connect and I'm sure we can work something out. Mornings and daytimes are always great for me. In other people's homes, I am diligent about observing cleanliness and safety, and following instruction about closed off areas, eating schedules, portion sizes, and access points a pet may try to exit from. Be as clear as you can with what you're looking for, and I will follow it to a "T"!
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was in elementary school. I’ve been responsible for things like feeding them, walking them, and taking them out at night and in the morning Right now, my only commitments are on Sunday mornings, when I teach religious school in Deerfield. I’m looking for my next full time job currently, and heard about Rover through word of mouth. I’ll take your dog out first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. I’ll feed them right after they go out in the morning, and before I have dinner myself. I’ll also walk them at least once a day, weather dependent
“I'm a first-time Rover user, and Lindsay was wonderful. She's understanding and a great communicator. I felt very comfortable going out of town knowing she was checking in on our cats. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've taken care of dogs pretty much non-stop since 2003. I take the welfare of any animal very seriously and promise to be attentive to all your pet's needs. My #1 goal is your peace of mind while away from your fur kids or any other animal family members. I'm retired and working part-time. A job that involves caring for animals is by far my preferred option, and making sure I'm available to devote my full attention to pet care is very important to me. If I were lucky enough for you to entrust your pet(s) to my care, he, she, or they would be my #1 priority. I pay close attention to the welfare of any pets entrusted to my care, including my own, of course. They're always the center of attention, and I am always focused on being responsive to their needs.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. As an elementary teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, which carries over into how I care for animals as well. I currently have my own 1 year old Labradoodle, so I’m very familiar with puppy energy, routines, walks, feeding, and all the love and patience they need. I also help care for my family’s Golden Retriever, Suzie, and have watched dogs for family and friends over the years. I always want the pets in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine since I have my own 1 year old Labradoodle. I’m used to planning my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need. As an elementary teacher, I have a consistent schedule during the school year, and now that it’s summer, I have even more flexibility and availability for pet care throughout the week. I care for every pet as if they were my own, because I know I would want the same level of love, attention, and care for my own dog. Their safety and comfort are always my top priority. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. I also make sure pets have access to fresh water and follow their usual feeding and walking routines to help them feel comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, and I always follow instructions closely to make sure their pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while maintaining the routine they’re used to.
“Haven did drop in visits for us when we left for the hospital to have a baby. Penny was well cared for and happy as a clam when we returned, and Haven was super flexible with us as babies tend to come on their own timelines! Thanks so much Haven for your help!”

I provide loving, reliable care by following each pet’s routines for feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles.

About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 chickens. As a child we also had a hermit crab and guinea pigs. Pet care never stops at my house, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 chickens keep me busy! I have experience with guinea pigs and hermit crabs as well. Will communicate with you while you are away, love to send pictures and tell you about our day! Will spend lots of time on walks and outdoors
About: Hi! I'm Thalia, a 20-year-old from Cuba and currently a Lake Forest College student living in Highland Park. I have extensive experience caring for animals. Since I was very little, I've always been surrounded by animals. Back in Cuba, my mom and I would rescue many cats and dogs, and we've always had at least five cats at home. I've also volunteered for over two years with animal shelters such as Orphans of the Storm, taking foster cats with medical needs home until they find their forever one. This experience, along with my intent to become a vet after college, makes me comfortable working with animals with medical needs and following care prescribed by doctors. This lifelong experience has made me very patient and responsible, with a deep understanding of the skills and commitment required to care for pets. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of your furry friends. Thank you for considering my profile. Please feel free to reach out to me for further discussion! I usually do dog walks in the afternoons, but I’m very open to homesitting and animal care at any time of the day! I provide overnight care as well. I provide excellent care for animals and my clients’ homes by treating them with the same love and respect I’d give my own. With over two years of experience as both a pet sitter and house sitter, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how to ensure pets are happy, safe, and well-cared for, whether it’s keeping up with their feeding schedules, engaging them with playtime, or making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. When it comes to homes, I pride myself on maintaining a clean and welcoming environment. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, from watering plants to collecting mail, and I always leave your space just as tidy (if not tidier!) than I found it. I’ve even worked with animals who have special needs, so I’m comfortable providing extra care and attention when required. I truly enjoy creating peace of mind for my clients, knowing their furry friends and homes are in good hands while they’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bannockburn
Chloe was wonderful! Our pup Moose has congestive heart failure and we were concerned about finding someone willing to care for her at this stage of life. Chloe was compassionate, professional, communicative, and willing to work with Moose's needs. Her impressive background gave us a lot of confidence in choosing her for drop-in visits. We'll absolutely book with her again and recommend Chloe to anyone with a senior dog taking meds!
Great and trustworthy! They have taken care of my cats twice now and I always come home to happy cats, with wonderful updates and prompt communication in between! They even brought my mail and a package inside so that I was worry-free while away. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bannockburn is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $34 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
