“Olivia was great! She always showed up on time and stayed the full amount of time for her visit. She was nice enough to bring in mail and packages that got delivered. She always sent us pictures of our cat and updated us on activities they did during the visit. Definitely would recommend her services!”

“Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.”

About: I grew up with animals and currently don’t have any of my own. I’m hoping to fill this gap by pet-sitting for others and taking care of your four-legged family members as my own! I am a full-time therapist at a private practice so my schedule is not typical. I primarily work late afternoons to evenings for short shifts so I am home during the day. I even have Mondays completely off. I will ensure that your pet is able to get their energy out early in the day, so by the evening they are ready to rest, relax, and be loved on. I have a large fenced in yard and already go on daily 1 mile walks, having a pet to join me would be great for myself and your pet’s energy!
“I would love to say that Ethel is the only sitter I have tried, and I am honestly never going to try another person. My cat is always well taken care of when I am gone. Ethel communicated with me everyday and always has. Thank you!”

“Stephanie was wonderful! She sent photos of Cricket’s food and water bowls each visit and kept her litter box clean. Although Cricket hid the entire time, I felt extremely comfortable trusting Stephanie with her. I will definitely book with Stephanie again :)”


“We had a great experience with Brandon. Very easy to communicate with, everything went as planned. Brandon is a reliable, seasoned caretaker with an obvious love for dogs. We will definitely hope to have Brandon take care of our dog again in the future!”

“Phyllis and Greg were great. They responded right away to my request for a cat-sitter and arrived like clockwork at the appointed time every day. They took great care of our elderly cat and kept in touch throughout our time away. Highly recommend!”

About: I've owned and cared for all kinds of animals my whole life. Professionally, I have experience working as a dog handler, kennel attendant, dog bather, and groomer. I also have extensive experience working and caring for cats, horses, and various small animals. My +3 years working at a dog daycare facility had me safely handling a pack of up to 25 dogs; providing exercise & engagement, soft corrections, and positive reinforcement. To do so, it was necessary to be observant and in tune with the dog's behavior and always on the lookout for any signs of stress or aggression. As a bather and groomer, I was focused on hygiene but a large aspect of the job relied on my knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques. I've owned cats my entire life and have worked with a TNR rescue the past few years getting pregnant females and unneutered male cats fixed and adopted. I also have pet care insurance with animal baliee coverage in case of emergencies. I always care for every animal as if they are my own and I understand how important it is for them to feel comfortable and loved. I work part-time on the night shift, so I'm usually out of the house between 9:30pm and 2am Monday through Friday. Outside of that- my schedule is flexible. I am available on most weekends and holidays. I only book one client at a time for pet sits and boarding, so your pet(s) will have my full attention. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a huge, unfenced yard. I own a variety of animal care supplies and equipment.
About: I love animals and want to help you care for them the easiest and most efficient way possible. If you are looking to book or schedule me please note I can only do any clients that are at least 35 minutes away or less. (Unless I am positive I can walk your pal if you are a bit farther than usual and I am able to do bookings) In prior to booking me please let me know your furry friends quirks, habits, personality and any kind of other information I would need to know about your pet pal! I can work any time between September 14-September 24 and then I am unavailable from September 25- October 2. After October 2 I am available again any time and day of the week. Please tell me what you’d like for your dog/cats walk or drop in and let me know how they are with strangers. As well let me be aware if any animals don’t get along or shouldn’t get out and to inform me if your dog is aggressive/ shy/ nervous / or playful to other dogs. I will make it clear I do not do off leash walking for safety of your dog other dogs and myself. :)
“Lauren was awesome! She sent me a lot photos and detail messages of each visit. I definitely recommend her and I will contact her again if I need someone to take care of my cats!”

About: Hi, I’m Jhadira! 👋 I recently experienced a layoff from my corporate HR career, so I’m taking this opportunity to spend my time doing something I truly love, caring for dogs! I’m located in the La Grange area and have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised playtime. I share my home with my two spoiled pups, Charlie and August, and I also help care for my family’s senior dog, Tony. Caring for dogs through every stage of life has taught me that each one has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes potty training puppies, working with high-maintenance dogs, caring for puppies undergoing treatment for intestinal worms and other temporary medical needs, administering oral medications, basic obedience training for both puppies and older dogs, walking and running with active dogs, and providing extra patience and specialized care for senior dogs. Whether your dog is full of energy, needs a little extra attention, or enjoys a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m also training for a half-marathon myself so if your dog needs that outdoor exercise I would gladly love the company on my runs! As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, provide regular photo and video updates, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also built relationships with wonderful local pet professionals. If you ever need recommendations, I’m happy to share trusted groomers and veterinarians that I’ve had great experiences with. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard zoomies, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or curling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Open schedule, I have my own two dogs I look after but have all day to drop in for a walk or to check in on yours! I have a tight schedule with my own dogs and will make sure to make your fur baby feel as safe and loved as if they were home.
About: As someone who has always grown up around dogs, I understand that your pup is a part of the family and I take pride in taking care of your furry loved ones while you’re away! I currently have a German shepherd/Boxer mix (lives with my family) and a Rottweiler (lives with me). I have previously volunteered at a humane society and have also been employed at a dog boarding facility. I enjoy watching Dog Impossible in my free time and would love to spend time with your 4-legged family member in my free time too! I’m also an animal and nature photographer, so I’d be happy to take high quality photos while you’re away! I’m currently working full time from home (Monday-Friday) so I’d be more than happy to welcome your pup into my home and have a new coworker, taking them out as needed, or pack up my gear and work with them in the comfort of their own home! Please check out my calendar for my most updated availability ☺️ I have a friendly dog to keep your pup company and I have a fenced in yard for all of your pups squirrel chasing and potty needs! I will always be cautious and careful to any and all of your pets needs while on leash too!
“Angelina did a fantastic job looking after out ancient and fragile whippet. She looked after his special needs perfectly. When our schedule changed unexpectedly she accommodated the changes easily. I will definitely have Angelina look after him again when I need someone.”
About: Hi, I'm Sayuj. As a lifelong animal lover, my home has always been filled with paws. After recently saying goodbye to my own sweet dogs, the house has felt incredibly empty. I deeply miss the companionship, the daily routines, and the pure joy a dog brings to a home. Opening my doors to your furry family members is a way for me to keep that passion for pet care alive, and I promise to treat your dog exactly like they were my own. Over the years, I've gained a wealth of hands-on experience. I lovingly cared for my Beagle for over 8 years, as well as a beautiful Beagle/Border Collie mix for 6 years. When I first got my dog, Rocky, he wasn't good with people, but I trained him from the ground up to help him become comfortable and trust them. Later, even when he had IVDD, I retaught him how to walk, so I know exactly what it's like working with a dog that needs deep attentiveness. I've also regularly dog-sat for large, energetic breeds, including German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Laboradors, and more! Currently, I run my own business and am actively searching for my next full-time role. This means I work from home right here in Woodridge and have a highly flexible schedule to dedicate to your pets. Because my home is currently pet-free, it offers a calm, safe environment where your dog will get my absolute undivided attention for boarding. I am also more than happy to house-sit at your place or drop in for visits. I would love nothing more than to shower your dog with the exact same level of devotion, patience, and love I gave my own. I have a very flexible schedule and willing to devote all my time at any given moment to your pet's wants and needs. My daily routine is quite open so I can house sit or drop in to walk the dog, feed them, etc. I am diligent in making sure I follow all the owner's instructions in taking care of their dog. All dogs are different and are used to different things. That's why I want to make them feel at home and treat them as if their owners do. As a lifelong dog owner, I am used to keeping the home "dog-proof" and understand what is dangerous/can be dangerous for a dog and what isn't.

About: I’ve had experience with animals my entire life! I’ve owned many dogs, cats, a bunny, a bird, snakes, fish, geckos, and I even have a tarantula! Professionally, I’ve been caring for animals for a bit under a year; I currently work at a doggy daycare/boarding facility, so I have been trained professionally in different areas. I’ve owned a reactive dog before, and currently have a fear aggressive/reactive dog. The bigger the dog, the better! I absolutely adore giant breeds and have experience in their care. I have a wide knowledge about dog breeds and their behaviors, as well as dog body language. I have experience in medication administration as well. As for other animals, I can adequately care for your reptiles! I work part time currently and always have weekends off, so I can drop in any time on weekends or when my work schedule allows it! I’m comfortable with almost everything regarding animals. I currently have 2 dogs and 3 cats and my house is equipped to care for everyone individually. Every animal is different and I’m able to adapt to their needs to make sure that they’re happy and healthy.
“Joey does an amazing job caring for our greyhound, Happy. He communicates well, arrives on time, and gives Happy plenty of love and pets. Our dog gets excited seeing Joey, when he comes to take her for a walk. I can confidently recommend Joey and I will be contacting him again. He is always our first choice for care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Burr Ridge is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 12,611 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Burr Ridge. 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 Burr Ridge. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
