About: I have grown up in a home full of dogs as long as I can remember. I have raised dogs as puppies well into their adult lives, and been blessed to be with them through their last breath. I cannot imagine a life without my pups! I will care for animals of all ages and be sure to treat them with as much love as I do my own. I am currently working full time - my availability will be before 7 AM and after 4 PM Monday through Friday. My weekend availability is completely open! I have two dogs of my own and I am currently fostering another pup whose parent is in the hospital. I am able to travel to your home to care for your pet and ensure their needs are met, whether thatâs cuddling up and getting belly scratches or playing fetch!
About: With 9 years of hands on experience caring for pets, I bring a flexible and intuitive approach to pet care that meets each pup where they are. Whether your dog needs a calm gentle companion, or a high-energy play, I adapt to their personality and needs. I have a little bit of experience with obedience training with puppies and can also care for senior dogs. I am currently only offering boarding, walks and drop-in visits but I am committed to making your dog feel safe, loved and right at home - even when youâre away! I am a recent graduate of UTC and just started working for Unum. I work from home most days but have to go into the office on Wednesdays and Thursdays! Iâm available anytime that Iâm not in the office as my at-home work hours are flexible. When caring for pets in your home, I first like to read the pets profile so I can see if there are any special instructions/needs that I need to know about. I offer a variety of services so how I care for your pet is based on what I am booked for. For walks, I like to find a safe/familiar place to walk them, like your neighborhood. Iâll usually walk them for the full amount of time and make sure they have water when we are finished. When dog sitting, I try to make sure I follow all instructions left by you, the owner. I usually make sure your pet has food, water, walks, and lots of cuddles/play time!
âGabby did awesome, we've used her for years, glad to see shes stretching her arms and joining rover! Our dogs love her to death and she is great with them. All 3 are pitbulls and she has no issues Keeping them spoiled and happy! Would book her anytime ! A very responsible and respectful young woman .â
About: I am committed to maintaining open and clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates, photos, and notes about your petâs well-being. I am reliability and am able to handle unexpected situations with a calm professional manor and give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their fur babies are in capable and caring hands. I would love to take care of pets all the time. I work part time as a cleaner doing residential and commercial homes/buildings. I have a passion for animals so to take care of them full time would be a dream. I have a big fenced in yard with lots of toys and 1 fur baby of my own to keep company. I also have crates if needed.
âAbsolutely so thankful for Brandie. Her correspondence was immediate and she provided great follow ups during her drop-in visits at my home, with my pup, while I was away. Will definitely use her again and the drop-in visit option.â
About: I've had over seven dogs in my lifetime most of which are larger breeds but also had medium and smaller dog breeds. I've also raised puppies under a year old. I genuinely love animals and I need the money as a college student. I'm currently full-time college student but my classes are remote this semester so I have all the time in the world to take care of your dogs. I'm always available unless my scheduling states otherwise. I have no other dogs at the time so it will just be me and your pups unless of course I book with others. Your dog will be taking care of with the utmost safety and joy.
About: I have a Great Dane lab mix she very energetic, loving, and playful with every animal. I have dog sat for friends and family I have experience in dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and fish. I have an open schedule I stay at home with my dog Gemini and Iâm trying to get back into dog sitting and it would also be a plus because she loves making new friends. I live in an apartment. We have a fenced in dog play ground and I take my dog for walks I would take them for walks a well and Gemini get 1 Jr outside to do her business and play and she has a regular potty break every two hours some times itâs cut down on time if she hasnât been feeling well.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Belvidere
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 161 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Belvidere. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Belvidere. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
