“This was the first time I was leaving half of my cats alone and one of them required daily medication. Rachael did an amazing job. I got thorough reports and a lot of photos, all of which really eased my anxiety. She was so communicative. Thank you again!”

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. 😊

She followed the care instructions perfectly and responded quickly for every step communicated. We will defintely have Samantha back!”

“They did an amazing job taking care of our big, needy German Shepherd! He’s basically a 90-pound toddler with fur and a very demanding list of needs, and they handled him like a pro. 😂 We came home to a happy, well-loved dog, which is all we could ask for. We really appreciated the care, patience, and attention they gave him. We’d absolutely trust them with our furry drama king again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities and always take the time to learn what makes each one feel comfortable. I love going on walks, playing and making sure they get plenty of exercise and attention while their owners are away. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, treats, medications and any special routines or instructions you may have. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and send plenty of pictures and updates along the way! My weekday availability is primarily in the early mornings and evenings, making me a great fit for before work and evening visits. I’m also available on weekends with more flexibility throughout the day and will always do my best to work with your pet’s usual routine. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. During each visit, I can handle feeding, fresh water, medications or supplements, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks and plenty of playtime and attention. I’m careful about securely closing doors and gates, and I’ll send pictures and updates after each visit so you know how your pet is doing.

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.

About: I treat every dog as if they are my own, learning their routines, preferences, and personality so they feel safe and loved. I have been caring for dogs all my life and it is something I take great pride in. I understand the importance of walking, exercising and proper attention to feeding schedules and water intake. Every dog is a new friend! I work from home and always have time for a four legged friend in need. Whether it be a walk or a drop in visit, my schedule is flexible. Please just message me with a time & date and we could work something out. I live in a house with a fenced in back yard, so there is plenty of space to explore outside. I will ensure your pet is leashed if there is no fence at your home as well as going on a walk. I would care for your best friend as if I was in my own home. I will ensure your pet is shown love, well fed, and appropriately exercised. Trust is a two way street along with respect and humility.

About: I've cared for pets my whole life. I've kept aquariums, grew up with dogs, even raised two puppies in my time. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and do not want to track dandruff home, so I will not be offering services for cats aside from drop ins. I'm a dad trying to be more active, make friends, and provide a service to the community. I love pets and I think they are an absolute blessing. For my fee I will actively exercise and play with your pets, teach them tricks or commands (if desired), and ensure they are pampered, engaged with, and given attention, rather than simply supervision. I'm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate most requests. I would be happy to look after your family pet, no matter the occasion! How I care for your pet is entirely up to you, I will accommodate whichever preferences you may have. Every pet deserves to be played with, get exercise, and be well pampered. Rubs downs, brushing, bathing, I'm comfortable caring for your pet how you know best.

About: I have been taking care of dogs ranging from a few lbs to 100+ lbs for years! I have also been caring for different types of cats just as long :) Growing up we always had a dog in the house, so that has made me super comfortable to be around them. Whether I’m walking, feeding, cleaning, or administering medication, I am definitely not afraid of the job! I am a proud mama of 2 cats named Archie and Simon. They are my absolute world! I will make sure to give your pets the same care, caution, attention, and love I give my boys! Pet care has always been a passion of mine. In fact, I went to school for it! Although I did not end up pursuing my desire to become a veterinarian, I still try to incorporate that love for animals in my day to day life! I have an extremely flexible work schedule that allows me to almost work fully remote. I would be able to stop over at the house pretty much whenever you need me to. My work set up also allows me to work anywhere if needed. My weekends are almost always open as well! I will always make sure to talk through your expectations to ensure you are comfortable with the nature of each type of visit. I typically would not host any pets in our home. We have a fenced in backyard and several spaces; however, I would not want to put your pet or my cats in an uncomfortable space. At a clients home, I am more than comfortable with backyard access, crate training, cleaning litter boxes, accessing food/water, and any other requirements for the visit! (Totally fine bringing in mail/watering plants!) I will only access the spaces you need me to. I am also fine spending the night if needed. That would be something we could discuss case by case!

About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, and even a gecko—and have experience working at a petting zoo. I’m a proud pet parent to two dogs and two cats, so I know how important great care is. I’m comfortable giving medication, caring for senior pets, and supporting reactive pets, all while making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently in my last semester at ECC and I’m only taking a few classes, so I have plenty of free time during the week to help out! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed, but I’m willing to do whatever I can to keep you and your pet comfortable.

Melissa is a true rock star pet sitter! I haven't taken a vacation since my cat Chester was diagnosed with diabetes. He's also not used to being around people he doesn't know. We even did 2 pre-vacation visits and unfortunately my cat decided to be difficult. Which is putting it mildly. Melissa did everything she could to help him but nothing worked. I would definitely book her services again if she'll accept!

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 Pet Sitting - Carpentersville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet 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 7,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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 .

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 , 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 Carpentersville. On Rover:

  • 87% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
