“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ We had a last minute worry about our cat sitting situation so I went on Rover for the first time. We were gone for a few weeks and felt really bad for the cats. We feel so lucky to have found Lisa. She ended up spending more time with our cats than scheduled. She also was able to fix the schedule when we had to make a change. There are other things that helped our peace-of-mind like turning the porch light off each day and bringing the mail in so our home didn't look vacant. She cleaned up before leaving. She left detailed notes and sent cute photos daily of cuddling and playing with our cats :) We will definitely reach out to Lisa for our cat sitting in the future.”

I love running and jogging and entertaining dogs. I am available 24 hours on the weekends. During the week I work virtually. I love having the company of dogs and cats. Walks are so much more fun with all four-legged friends! I am available after 5 pm during the week and any time on the weekends.

I will make sure to remove my shoes and to dry your pup's feet (if you would like) before returning inside after a walk.
“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

It has always been my dream to work with different kinds of animals. I also offer farm experiences at our urban farm for any creatures who are lovers of the outdoors!

My days are generally structured around animal care. I start with my morning chores, making the rounds for each pet and farm animal. Through midday I balance my research and freelance work with any of the pets' daytime needs, and in the evening again I do the rounds for closing chores. I genuinely love to structure my day around animal care! It helps me to balance my routine and remember to pause and be joyful. I live in a large one bedroom apartment with an unfenced yard, and I work with an urban farm that has a fenced-in city lot. If your oet loves the outdoors, we can go to the farm every day!

“Jane was great with our pup! She came to meet him a week before and was very accommodating.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Calumet City
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Maaliyah enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my French Bulldog, Chloe, and Boston Terrier, Celine! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, professional, and communicative. She made sure she understood everything about my girls and their routines, and even asked thoughtful questions to ensure they were comfortable and properly cared for. Maaliyah was kind enough to accommodate my last-minute booking, which I truly appreciated! She kept me updated throughout her visits, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in such caring and attentive hands. Both of my girls love attention, and I could tell Maaliyah treated them with the same love and patience I would. She was also extremely understanding and respectful of my home, especially since I had just moved in. It’s not always easy trusting someone new with your fur babies, but Maaliyah made the entire experience stress-free. I’m beyond grateful for her help and will absolutely be booking with her again! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Maaliyah is your girl! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Celine and Chloe! 🐾💕

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Calumet City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
