About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.

About: I’ve had a love for animals since I was small. This kept me active as a volunteer in animal shelters throughout high school, in addition to being a reliable sitter for my family and friends’ fur babies. I would love to go on walks and give lots of love to your furry friend(s) whenever you need! Please check my availability through my calendar! I update it consistently. I am full time studying at home postgrad, so I have a very flexible schedule! I will be diligent in keeping your dog safe by walking with a leash and always keeping a close eye on them. I have no other pets at home and am graduated, so your pet will get my full attention.

About: I’ve been a dog sitter since I was young. I’ve also cat sat for several family members before. I love working with cats, dogs, and any other creatures! I have a lot of experience administering almost any kind of medication, from administering fluids to oral meds to transdermal meds. No ask is too much for me! I work Monday-Friday eight to four. So I will work around that. I am also free all weekends. I will even do house stays if needed. I will treat your house as my own. I will leave it the way that you left it. I will also do anything that makes you feel more comfortable with me being in your house

About: I own a GSD/Shar Pei Mix named Moose and have learned a lot since rescuing her in 2023. I've been volunteering at local shelters since then, where I care for dogs of varying ages. Earlier this year, I completed a three-month internship with the Penn Vet Working Dog Center where we trained dogs in obedience, agility, scent work, husbandry, and more. I'm currently working part-time and studying to become a dog trainer. So I'm looking for every opportunity to walk and care for dogs of any ages and size to get all the experience I can! I will generally be available after 2pm on weekdays and am flexible on the weekends. I am very laid back and will work with you on whatever works best for walks/letting them out to stretch their legs and have some fun.

I’ve always had large dogs and have extensive professional experience working with and caring for small and medium dogs, puppies, seniors, you name it. 🐶

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve had animals in my home since I was young, and over the years I’ve helped care for pets for elderly owners when they were unable to themselves. I have experience with boarding, bathing, light grooming, reinforcing owner-trained commands, and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities — from teacup poodles to Great Danes and pitbulls. I’ve also administered oral medications and cared for diabetic dogs and pets with health needs. Building trust with both pets and owners is something I truly value, and I’m grateful to have had many repeat clients over the years. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom who already spends a lot of time being active with my family and our own dog. We live in a gated community with great walking and running trails, so runs, walks, playtime, and exercise are already part of our day. I’m home often, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, care, and supervision throughout the day. I care for pets based on their individual routines and owner preferences to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Safety is my top priority, and interaction with other dogs, including my own, only happens with owner permission. Pets receive supervised potty breaks, walks, playtime, attention, and plenty of care throughout the day, with routines kept as consistent as possible both in my home and in clients’ homes.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and view the human/animal relationship as a special and unique bond that isn’t even broken with death. Aside from having empathy for animals, I have experience training puppies and kittens. I also have taken care of senior dogs and dogs with medical needs. I work in McHenry county M-F and care for animals on the weekends and after work between 4-10pm. There are a lot of nearby parks and areas safe for dog walking by my house. I do not leave dogs alone in a crate when I am not home. Dogs are allowed to sleep on the bed or couch. The max amount of time I would ever leave the dog alone is 4-5 hours. I also do middle of the night potty breaks.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.

We couldn't be happier with the care Melissa provided for our sweet girl, Sophie, over the past few days! Right from the initial meet and greet, Melissa impressed us. She was extremely patient and knew exactly how to approach Sophie, letting her get comfortable at her own pace (having training treats in her pocket certainly didn't hurt either!). Throughout the stay, Melissa excelled at communication. She kept us in the loop continuously, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. The regular updates and absolutely fantastic photos she sent made our day every single time. On top of that, she was wonderfully flexible with timing based on our schedule when we arrived back home. It is completely clear that this isn't just a job for Melissa, but a genuine passion. Our precious pup was happy, comfortable, and truly treated like family in her care. If you are looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and skilled dog sitter who truly loves what she does, hire Melissa. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Carpentersville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Carpentersville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 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 October 2026, there are 6,864 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Carpentersville. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carpentersville. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
