“Emily was great to work with and I would recommended her to anyone. This was the first time I left the cats at home so I was a little nervous but Emily made me feel that they were in good hands.”
About: What sets me apart is my experience as a veterinary technician and the genuine love and care I have for every animal I meet. 🐾 I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, seniors, and pets who require medications or extra attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and comfort level. My veterinary experience has taught me how to recognize changes in behavior, handle pets calmly and patiently, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, extra cuddles, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. ❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my daily life!🐾 As a veterinary technician, I spend my workdays caring for animals, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and care needs. Outside of work, I love spending time with animals and would be happy to dedicate my free time to giving your pets the same love and attention I give my own. I’m available for pet care around my work schedule and will always communicate clearly about my availability. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine, whether they need a quick check in, feeding and playtime, medication, or some extra company while you’re away. ❤️ I care for every pet based on their individual needs, personality, and routine.🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.This includes feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration when needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. As a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different ages, personalities, and care requirements. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health and will communicate with you throughout your pet’s stay.My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. ❤️
“Mariah is amazing, highly recommend! She takes very great care of my kiddos and very respectful of my home. She is communicative and responsive and my cats love her, even the shy one! She always shows up on time as well.”
“Jessica was very good with the cats even rescued Tubb from her brothers who think her food is theirs also lol Loved getting my pictures from her visits Jessica is very caring of my csts”
“Rusty has been great with my dog, Kota! Since Kota can be nervous around new people, we scheduled a meet-and-greet prior to any visits. Rusty took the time to get to know his quirks, and allowed for a slow introduction. He has been very reliable and flexible, and always provides detailed updates. I highly recommended booking with Rusty!”
“Lynn is a great communicator in making sure my pups are content and happy. I needed a new dog sitter last minute and she was up for it! I am thankful for her care and shared love with my doggies.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. At home, I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to a family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can feel confident your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work another job so I’ll make sure I have time to care for your furry family members I can do late at night or early morning drop ins I will treat them like they are my own pets I will keep you updated and send pictures I will keep your furry family members safe
“Micaela was fantastic! I have a very particular rabbit who is prone to sickness and Micaela was so attentive and good to him that I can’t thank her enough. I would trust her with any animal!! She sent picture updates and was willing to check in on him above and beyond what was stipulated! Use Micaela for all your pet needs! Oh and she’s a vet tech so rest easy if your pet is prone to sickness!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and when I leave them I am always so nervous that they will not receive the care & love I give to them daily. My hope is to provide you the peace of mind and make your dog feel safe and loved in my home or when with them. I am a dog lover and don’t remember life without a dog! I work from home so I am available most of the day. Please leave regular feeding times and routines in case I need to run errands or leave them alone for a bit! I have a fenced in backyard with ample running space and 2 friendly high energy pups who love to play. I will do my best to make your dog feel at home.
“She arrived a little early so we could go over Ollie’s routine and instructions, which I really appreciated. She was also very friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She followed instructions, such as giving Ollie his enrichment toy and taking him outside. During the visit, there was an accident in the playpen that was not communicated to me and wasn’t fully cleaned up, and I also noticed Ollie’s water dish was empty. I appreciated her kindness and willingness to help, but I would have liked clearer communication about how the visit went. That said, she was good with Ollie and he really liked her.”
About: I will give your dog my full attention as well as my children. We all love animals. My children are super gentle and loving and love to take walks so finding time to take your dog for a walk will be no problem! I am home all day so your dog will get lots of attention! I am choosing to do this because the kids want a dog but I am not fully committed to buying one of our own quite yet, so dog sitting will please everyone. I have a huge yard with the option of fenced in and unfenced areas. We have very few neighbors so if your pup is a barker it will be not a problem. Lots of space to take dogs for walks without running into other people or animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bellwood on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 295 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bellwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
