“Emily was so great and reliable with both of our babies! She even did a last minute extra visit when we got delayed getting home. Highly recommend! We will be booking again.”
“She did an amazing job for taking care of my cat Pimpi. It was more than 3 weeks of schedule and she never missed one got on time and even did beyond what I asked for.. I will definitely request her once again when I need my cat to be taken care of.”
“Thank You Hannah! Hannah took care of my 2 kitties over a long weekend. One of them is very old, but I felt completely comfortable with leaving him in her hands. She texted an update and sent photos for every visit and left our house cleaner than we left it for her!! From the minute I met her, she was very professional, capable and was sure to ask any and every possible question about caring for my babies! I will definitely use Hannah again and I highly recommend contacting her if you are in the PTC area! Thank You!”
About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue around a year. I was responsible for fixing them food, water, cleaning their crate and playing with them. I also had a family dog growing up and currently have three cats. I work from home full-time and get multiple breaks throughout the day, so I am always available at home. I am a homebody and have the time to care for animals. I have a fenced in back yard with a grassy area. Pets sitting on the furniture and being around is no issue. I do have three cats, but I am able to keep them separate at all times.
About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with pets and have spent my life feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for animals of all ages. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and deserves patience, love, and attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone to keep them company, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy while you're away. I currently offer pet care Friday through Sunday. During the weekends, I'm able to provide attentive care, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and companionship. I only accept bookings when I know I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve, so your furry family member will receive quality care while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and a fenced outdoor patio where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and play under supervision. Pets are never left unattended outside. Inside, they are treated like family with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I can follow your pet's normal routine, administer medications if needed, and accommodate crate-trained dogs if that is part of their routine. I also have two friendly Yorkshire Terriers who enjoy meeting other dogs, but I always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable.
About: Growing up with dogs and cats my whole life has given me invaluable experience when it comes to caring for all types of pets! I have been a sitter on Rover for a few years now :) I work remotely so my schedule allows flexibility to accommodate your pet’s routine! I am also available on weekends! I am able to house sit, take your dogs out, play with your pups, walk them, clean your cats litter, etc!! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard. Currently we do not have pets in the house, so your animal would be receiving all of the attention. I can also take them on walks around our neighborhood! I don't mind if your pets sleep in bed with me but if they need to be crated I can pack those in my car as well :)

I have also petsitted for my neighbor and friends a number of times.

I also have 2 cats but they both stay to themselves.

“Canija is a wonderful person who I’d trust around my dogs anytime. They were able to do a drop-in visit last minute for me, a same-day request, due to one of my dogs having an upset stomach right before I left for my full-time evening job. So they came and gave my dog an extra bathroom break and some playtime while I was at work. Highly recommended sitter for your furry family members!”
About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 311 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bolingbroke. 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
