“We had such a great experience! Bella took great care of our cats, and made sure everything we asked was taken care of. She was also so helpful and accommodating with her schedule and always found a way to stop by and check on them. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away, especially with the photo updates. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend!”
“Samantha was so great with both my dogs. I have a little dog nervous around new people at first but he just loved her. Will definitely book in the future with Samantha.”
About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! ❤️ I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pup. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves a long walk, prefers a leisurely stroll with lots of sniff breaks, or just needs some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! 🐶 Why choose me? ✨ 15 years of dog experience ✨ Comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities ✨ Safety and your pup’s comfort always come first ✨ Lots of patience, playtime, and cuddles ✨ Reliable communication and updates for pet parents ✨ I treat every dog like they’re my own I want every walk to be more than just exercise—it’s a chance for your pup to get fresh air, enrichment, attention, and a little extra love while you’re away. 🐕💕 I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their favorite part of the day! 🐾 I have open availability, and will always be open about any updated schedule changes. ☺️ Taking care of pups is my full-time job, so I am here when you need me with notice. ☺️ I know all dogs have different temperaments. I would make sure boundaries are respected, and the dog feels comfortable. I will make sure water bowl is filled, go on a walk for potty breaks, and give treats if allowed by owner. 😊
“Jennifer did so great with our floofs! She took the time to get to know them and took pictures of the cuddles she got from them, which meant they were super comfortable with her!”
About: I've been a lifelong dog lover and currently have a Golden Retriever/Irish Setter who keeps me active with plenty of walks, playtime, and adventures. Caring for my own high energy dog has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each dog the attention they deserve. Whether your pup loves long walks, belly rubs, fetch, or simply having a companion nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide the same level of care and affection I'd want for my own pet :) I currently work part-time on some weekends in Huntley, IL (Friday–Sunday), but I’m generally very flexible and available during the week! I just ask for a few days’ notice whenever possible so I can make sure I’m able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. 😊 I’d also love to set up a meet & greet with you and your fur baby before our first visit! It’s a great opportunity for us to get acquainted, learn about your pet’s personality and routine, and make sure they feel comfortable with me. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. While I do have a spacious corner lot with a secure tie-out area for supervised outdoor time, the majority of my services take place in your home where your pet is most comfortable and can maintain their normal routine. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll follow all care instructions closely, ensure your pet has fresh water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Michael is great - we have used him a couple of times. He is very responsive when communicating and our two dogs really like him (and they aren't the easiest of dogs to sit for. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
About: Hi there! I’m Shaifali — a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two friendly pups, Lali and Phoebe. 🐾 I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs of all ages and sizes — from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. As a full-time nurse who works nights, I’m available during the day and have a flexible schedule to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. What I offer: • Lots of love, cuddles, and playtime • Safe, fun walks (I love going on long walks and exploring nature trails!) • Experience with administering medications • Knowledge of special diets and health needs (my own dog is on a GI-friendly diet, so I understand how important it is to follow food schedules carefully) Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in good hands. Let’s set up your pup’s next walk or playdate — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐶💛 I currently work full time as a nurse on night shift. I have a lot of flexibility in the day to watch dogs due to working at night! I have 2 friendly dogs Lali and Phoebe in my home. Dogs are leashed at all times when outside. If you have a special diet for your pet please let me know as well as a food schedule! I understand special dietary needs for pets. My dog Phoebe herself is on a low fat GI diet due to chronic pancreatitis.
About: What sets me apart is my 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own childhood dog who is now a senior dog, giving me a strong understanding of patience, compassion, and specialized care for aging pets.

I’ll stick to your pet’s usual routine and follow your instructions carefully, so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. My priority is always your pet.

I have very open availability- I am a stay at home mom and 2 of my kids are in school. So outside of drop off and pick ups I have open availability!

About: Hi! My name is Baylee. I have over 5 years of experience working at a small animal clinic as a technician and receptionist. I also work at UW’s Large Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant. I am comfortable giving your pet medication or working with shy or reactive dogs. I have fostered puppies, kittens, and older dogs. I also started a dog walking business in my neighborhood when I was 10 years old! I am a pre vet student at UW Madison. I love animals! I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, chickens, hermit crabs and a hedgehog. I currently live in Janesville. My schedule varies between the small animal clinic and UW, message me when you are looking for care and I’d love to work something out ! I will follow your instructions just as if you were caring for your pet yourself. I want you to feel comfortable while you’re at work or on vacation knowing your pets are well cared for!
About: I had my own dog when I was younger, but it was more of the family dog that would just walk and feed every now and then. I now have a personal dog that I do everything for and I love her with my whole heart. I care for her daily and she is happy as can be. I currently am working Mon through Fri from 7am to 3 pm. So I am able to do drop ins or pet sitting after those hours. I was raised to be very clean and respectful of others properties. I wouldnt leave anything the way i had not found it if I was invited in to care for your dog. I really respect animals and care for their health and happiness.
About: I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, with a special focus on small pups and senior dogs. Whether your pup needs extra patience, a specific routine, or just a cozy companion, I’m always happy to accommodate 🙂 I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule and have ample room for your dog to play. If you prefer to have your pup in their crate, please kindly let me know as I make my home, their home as well. I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, I focus on consistency, respect, and attentive routines that help animals feel comfortable. I also have a fenced yard for dogs to play freely.
About: I was a dog sitter for the same dog for 4 years. He was my neighbors dog and is a beautiful golden lab. I would take him for daily walks when my neighbors were working or on vacation. I would feed him his three daily meals and we would play fetch in the backyard. When his owners were on vacation I would stay at their house with him and his cat brother. I would love nights with them being curled up on the couch together. I’m currently a full-time student and part-time Patient Care Technician at a hospital. I have a lot of free time on my hands (surprisingly) and I love animals so why not spend my spare time taking care of others pets! I take online classes so I’m available throughout the day. With my job I only work two days a week overnight, so finding time should be easy to take care of your fur baby. Depending on if you need cat or dog services or both-I’m open to however you would like me to cater to your pets needs. I will keep up with their scheduled feeding times, walks/potty times, brushing their fur, and of course all the cuddles and pets in the world!
About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs since I was 10 years old. I trained both of the dogs I was gifted (Labrador/Boxer mix & Pitbull) as well as grooming them. They both mean very much to me and now that they are older and I no longer live in my old house it would be my pleasure to give care to someone else’s pet! I’m currently working part time so the vast majority of the week I’m available and own my own reliable source of transportation. Extremely flexible with my schedule and times. Very good at playing with dogs and other types of animals as well. Will do anything your dog likes and make sure they enjoy having me around!

Eloise was amazing with my dog and cat and I know they are in such good hands with her! I really appreciate her flexibility and attention to detail with both of my babies and their various needs. I was able to fully enjoy my time away because I knew they were well taken care of. I will absolutely be booking with her again!
Brooklyn was a real hero for me, when I needed a last minute pet sitter. I knew her from outside Rover and she knew my dogs. They warmed up to her right away and I could tell from the pictures they were happy she was there. They were fed, walked, played with and received lots of cuddles.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carpentersville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Carpentersville 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Carpentersville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
