“Katelynn is attentive, accommodating, and flexible! She was always on time, and very patient while I worked through how Rover worked lol. My cat is super skiddish and shy but through her kind heart she got her to come out and be the sweet girl she is ? My husband and I looked forward to her updates every day. Would love to book her again and refer her to a friend!”
About: I live in an apartment but I have two small dogs. I love animals and have years of experience working with them. Your dog will always be safe and feel welcome in my home everytime they come here. he or she will be loved as much as my own dogs. :) About this sitter: Currently I do not have a CPR certification for animals but I am a certified Veterinarian Assistant and Have more than 10 years animal experience. I also have a bachelor's degree in business and will hopefully open a doggie daycare business soon. Why I love dog sitting Ive been a dog lover ever since I was a little girl. Ive also owned a dog through- out my entire life. Cant live without them.
“Carla was exceptional with my 2 cats for drop in visits. She is very thorough and communicative. One of my cats takes oral medication and she was able to successfully administer it every day! The cats looked very happy and content in every photo update she provided.”
“Denise was great! She was accommodating and flexible with scheduling. She also sent me updates during my time away, which was very appreciated! I'd most definitely utilize Denise's services again!”
“We were honestly a little nervous about using Rover for the first time, especially with four dogs, but we decided to take a chance and are so glad we found Lorraine. We were gone overnight, and she came by several times to let the girls out, feed them, and spend some time with them. One of the biggest things we appreciated was that our dogs didn’t have to deal with the stress of leaving the house and going to a boarding facility. They got to stay in their own home, in their own environment, play, relax, and keep their normal routine while we were away. Our dogs are usually very good at letting us know how they feel about people, and they took to Lorraine almost immediately. That alone made us feel so much better. You could tell she was comfortable with them and genuinely cared about making sure they were happy and taken care of. She kept us updated every time she stopped by and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. We also have motion-activated cameras at home, and from the clips we received, it was clear the girls were relaxed, happy, and comfortable with her during each visit. That gave us even more peace of mind while we were away. Lorraine did exactly what we asked and then some. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and treated our dogs like they mattered to her. We went into this a little unsure about using Rover, but Lorraine completely changed our minds. From now on, she’s our pet sitter. We trust her with our girls, and that says a lot. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring to look after their pets.”
About: Greetings! My name is Colleen. I’m new to Rover, but my daughter has had a successful Rover business for 4 years in Alaska. I recently visited my daughter and while I was there I had the privilege to join her on some of her dog walks and found it to be a true pleasure, and therapeutic, to meet her clients, love on and walk their pets. What a great experience! I have had pets and farm animals most of my life, and raised my children with animals being treated as family members (probably why my daughter is loving her business with Rover). As you can tell I live in Florida (not Alaska lol). Many years ago I was a foster home for a dog rescue. I have been involved in youth programs that taught kids how to raise pigs and show them at local county fairs. I retired from a 20 year career in healthcare 4 years ago. Since then I’ve been helping with a family business and caring for disabled family members navigating our healthcare system. I’m excited for the opportunity with Rover to be able to provide a service to my clients and their pets during times of need so that your pet gets the love and care they deserve, and you’ll get the peace of mind knowing your pet is being loved and well cared for. Thank you for considering me. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’m currently not working and have been dedicating my time to care for my family members that need a little help so my time and availability is very flexible. Unfortunately I recently lost my dog of 13 years. My little bit was an amazing little Shih Tzu that brought my family so much joy during her life. I currently have no pets in my home as I’m still healing from little bits passing over the rainbow bridge, so I just love on all my family members and friends pets. Now, I’m ready to love on yours as well.
“Priya was very attentive and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos of our pets. She sent detailed updates with every drop in. She kept an eye on our home for us too. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Hi! My name is Meghan, I’m 25 years old and a reliable, caring animal lover with experience caring for pets of others and also my own. I have a dog and two cats at home, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or giving extra love and attention, I treat every pet like family. I’m dependable, and committed to making sure your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time but am available for morning drop-ins or walks any time between 6:30–7:30 AM and evenings from 6:30–8:30 PM. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving your pets extra love and attention! I will always provide you with a message and picture whenever I drop in and whenever I head out. No need to worry or wonder I will always reach out to let you know what is going on.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10 years old, and it is truly my favorite thing to do! I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, you name it. I know how important it is to make sure your babies are well taken care of, so you can trust that I will do that! I currently only work weekends, so I am available for weekly visits/walks anytime Monday through Thursday! My schedule is pretty flexible on those days so here for whatever you need! I will take care of your animals as I would my own. I do have a large fenced in backyard where your pup could get some energy out!
“I used Katie for the first time and last minute and I will definitely use her again. (I’ll give her more notice, though ☺️). She stopped by as scheduled and allowed my babies done much needed fresh air.”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life! With 10 years of experience caring for animals, I’ve loved them all, from cats and dogs to chinchillas, hamsters, chameleons, even small sharks and chickens! I truly believe every animal deserves loving, attentive, and dependable care. Having a safe, trusted caregiver makes such a difference in an animal’s happiness and well-being. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! ❤️ I’m a stay at home mom so I’m almost always available. Your animals would have to be safe around my little, she is also good with animals as I’ve taught her from a young age to not play with animals. I have a fenced in yard and dog of my own. She’s great with others and would love a playmate. My couches have special blankets on them so that the dogs can stay on them, I have water fountains so my animals get fresh water as well.
“Just wanted to let those that are looking for a a dependable, caring, personable lady to watch over your family members (kitties)while you're doing whatever you need to do and not have to worry about them,then Chrystal is the perfect person!

“Wendi was perfect! took great care of our pups and showed them a good time while we were away. We look forward to working with Wendi in the future and wish her the best in her Dog dare care adventure. Thank you !”
About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I’m 22 and I’m looking for dog walking/sitting opportunities. I have years of experience caring for my own animals and family/friends pets. I have experience with all types of breeds and sizes. I have three years paid experience pet sitting and previously worked as a kennel tech. I would be able to provide pet sitting whether it be check-ins to play with or feed your pet, or overnight boarding as well as walking. I have two dogs who are very friendly and love playing with other dogs as well as a backyard for ur pup to play in! Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear back from you! I am a full time student at UH, but only go to campus two days a week, so I am home basically all the time! I have a fenced backyard and two very friendly dogs who love to play! One is a chihuahua and the other… I’m not sure. I found her about a year ago as a stray but she is a very calm and polite dog.
“Jonathan has great communication before and during his time with our pups he is great to work with and is extremely flexible if you need to adjust your booking to add additional visits”
About: I have had animals my whole life! I love dogs and cats! I have my own 5 year old Golden Retriever who has received 3 AKC Good Citizen Certifications. I love taking pups on walks! I am working full time currently so not as open as I would like to be, but may be leaving my job soon to finish school online so my schedule might be opening up a lot! I make sure the dogs are given as much attention as they need and are not left to their own devices to get into trouble as we know our pets love to do! A safe and healthy environment for play and learning is top priority in working with animals.

Mallory is awesome. She has cared for my 2 dogs several times and has even gone above and beyond when my older dog was sick. She is very communicative, extremely punctual, great at following all my directions (I'm a worrier!) and very reliable. I love having Mallory help with my fur family!
Kendall is literally the best dog sitter I have ever come across and I have tried many. My husky mix girl is just terrified of all humans. It’s so stressful traveling for work because I always get told she’s not eating or won’t let the person come near her…within 2-3 days Bunny was eating her food with Kendall there and cuddling and kissing her. I was so relieved. I already told her so she knows, I and only booking with her from now on.
I can’t say enough how awesome this experience was for our pups. And what a life saver Samantha was! She provided a great report and even took some pictures during the visits. We would highly recommend her and we’ll definitely ask her to come back in the future.
Monica is a star, I cannot express how much I appreciate all she does for the kitties and for us. We get to enjoy our time away from home so much more just because of her and what she does. I'm not trying to be exaggerated. I'm just saying that I can see the difference when I have tried other sitters and they don't come even close to her. Thanks!
Anna was absolutely amazing from start to finish. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and high quality pet sitter, she’s truly the one. She went above and beyond in taking care of my pups, keeping me updated, and making sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for the entire time. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend her services enough and will definitely be using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bellwood is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $22 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.
As of November 2026, there are 3,064 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bellwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
