About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.

Tasha did a great job dog sitting Nala for me! She was kind, attentive, and caring toward Nala and was willing to work with me on scheduling! It was so nice to be able to go out of town for a night and have peace of mind knowing my girl was being taken care of by a fellow animal lover :)

Kristle was amazing!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to watch our Coco Bella! Kristle was loving and caring! She was so good to Coco! She took her out on walks, played with her, and made sure she was well taken care of. She sent us pictures everyday and was quick to respond! I am so happy we met Kristle and we will be in contact with her for future needs! I highly recommend her services! Thank you Kristle and family! Coco loved you guys!

About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.

About: Reliable and caring dog sitting you can trust. I provide a safe, comfortable environment where your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away. Whether it’s daily visits or overnight care, I treat every dog like my own—keeping their routine consistent and giving you peace of mind with regular updates. I am currently taking some time off work due to a family situation, I love animals better than people most of the time and what better way to spend some of my down time - 😊 Caring for pets in your home first and foremost is respect for your setup and keep everything as I found it while ensuring the pet feels secure. I feel it's important to supervise interactions, especially with new animals, and watch for signs of stress, illness, or discomfort such as changes in appetite, behavior, or energy. Regular walks, playtime, and affection help pets feel comfortable, while clear communication with you the owner—updates, photos, and quick reporting of any concerns—builds trust and ensures the pet gets the best possible care.

We had a fantastic experience with Matthew as our dog sitter while we went out to dinner to visit family in Greencastle, Indiana. He watched our two dogs for about 3.5 hours and did an excellent job. Matthew was professional, punctual, and took great care of them. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when we returned, and it was clear that Matthew genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!

About: I don’t just care for pets—I love them like family. I have a Brittany Spaniel puppy of my own, and before that, I had a sweet companion who was with me for 10 years. Losing her taught me just how deep the bond with an animal runs. To me, caring for your dog isn’t a “job”, it’s giving them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own kids (and yes, my pup too!). Hi, I’m Kylie! I’m married with two kids, and we’re a family that truly loves animals. I work full-time 9–5, which means I’m home every evening and off on weekends—the perfect time to give pets the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I spend a lot of time outdoors and enjoy walking, hiking, and running. I walk my own Brittany Spaniel puppy daily (we’re training to start running together soon!), so keeping up with active pups comes naturally. I also cared for a senior dog for over 10 years, which taught me patience, compassion, and how important it is to treat pets like family at every stage of life. With me, your furry loved one will get reliable, loving care—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I keep a watchful eye on playtime, walks, and interactions to make sure everyone stays happy and safe. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, routines, and medications, and I always keep fresh water available. At home, pets are cared for in a clean, family-friendly environment. I have a playful pup of my own and two children, so your dog will always have company, stimulation, and affection—but I’m also mindful of boundaries and comfort levels to make sure your pet feels secure. Trust is everything when it comes to pet care. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, love, and respect. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle, or just sitting quietly together, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home.

About: I just finished my sophomore year at Purdue University. I have an animal science background and a lot of experience taking care of dogs and cats. This includes large dogs, small dogs, old dogs, and puppies from a variety of breeds. I also own 2 cats. I am a prior high school wrestler, so I'm confident in my strength to handle and walk large dogs. As my mom says we’re the “designated dog sitters” for our neighborhood. I’ve been watching, walking, feeding and taking care of dogs and cats since I was little I am home from college. I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I love seeing lots of pets. Even if I already have multiple visits in a day day, I'll be sure to make time for your pet. I have multiple cats. They are comfortable around other animals as they have been exposed to many different cat and dog breed from my past pet sitting services.

About: I’ve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!

About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

About: I quickly form bonds of mutual respect with the pets I care for, I have a degree in veterinary science and use it frequently to provide the best care possible. My weekdays are always available, Friday through Sunday is typically my time off but on occasion, I will have limited availability on those provided days. If given instructions, they will be followed to a 'T' if no instructions are given then I will take care of them to the best of my ability with the knowledge.

About: I have over a year of pet-sitting experience and have cared for animals throughout my life, including my own family pets. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I believe consistency, patience, and clear communication go a long way. I treat pets much like young children—helping reinforce good habits, routines, and expectations through positive guidance and repetition. I strive to maintain a structured environment with designated times for learning, exercise, play, and rest so that pets feel secure, engaged, and comfortable. For health reasons, I am sensitive to pet waste, so I can only accept pets that are potty trained or when waste-removal tools are provided. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, well cared for, and happy while you’re away. While I do not have any special experience, I do have experience caring for cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy their company. One of the things I appreciate most about animals is that every one of them has a unique personality. Whether your pet is affectionate, independent, playful, talkative, or prefers to keep their distance, I am happy to respect their boundaries and care for them according to their comfort level. I get along well with most animals, including the occasional grumpy cat with a bit of attitude. As long as your pet is not operating under an “attack on sight” policy, we will probably get along just fine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their routine and giving them the attention they want—whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence nearby. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate significant time and attention to the animals in my care. This flexibility enables me to maintain feeding schedules, provide regular walks and exercise, reinforce routines and positive behaviors, and ensure pets receive plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because I have greater availability right now than I may have in the future, I encourage interested pet parents to reach out while openings are available. I believe pets thrive when they have consistency, structure, and engagement. Whether your pet enjoys active play, quiet companionship, outdoor adventures, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I am committed to providing attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. My availability may change over time, but while I have room in my schedule, I look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give pets plenty of attention and companionship, and do my best to maintain their normal routines. I also make time for play and mental stimulation, as I believe happy pets are engaged pets. While I can certainly entertain pets on my own, toys and favorite activities are always appreciated and help create the best experience for them. If requested and permitted by the owner, I am also happy to assist with basic grooming tasks such as brushing and keeping coats looking neat between professional grooming appointments. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet wants to play all day, go on adventures, or simply relax with a companion nearby, I strive to provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel right at home.

Kaylee did a good job caring for our two pups. She was even willing to provide a bit more assistance to our old boy who had sustained a serious injury and had not fully recovered. She was even able to gain the trust of our skittish and cautious girl. We hope that their friendship will grow in the future when we need dog sitting again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Carpentersville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 775 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Carpentersville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Carpentersville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Carpentersville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
