About: 🐾 Experienced Care From Someone Who Truly Loves Animals Hi! I’m Destiny, and I’m an animal lover with 12 years of hands-on pet-care experience. I’ve spent years caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from playful puppies and high-energy pups to seniors and anxious dogs. I currently have three dogs, one cat, and lots of reptiles of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can genuinely trust. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. I can provide: 🐶 Walks & daily exercise 🏡 Drop-in visits 💊 Oral medication administration 🐾 Care for senior dogs ❤️ Extra patience for anxious/high-energy pets 📸 Regular photo & care updates I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pet the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my priority. I can’t wait to meet you both! 🐾❤️ My schedule does fluctuate slightly, but mostly remains pretty open! I also can work around other people’s schedules pretty easily, and accommodate as much as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, routine, and individual needs throughout every visit. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, any medications or special instructions, allergies, triggers, and anything else I should know. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll contact you promptly and follow the plan we’ve discussed.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

MacKenzie is a great pet friend! Lilly loves her visits. She really helped us when we were in a jam when our previous sitter was no longer available. MacKenzie jumped right in and has been an incredibly reliable sitter who gives Lilly lots of time and cuddles. I highly recommend her!

About: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

This was my first time using this app and I am very happy that me and my wife chose Samantha! We have a diabetic cat, so one of the criterias that we were looking for was medicine injections, that's why we chose Samantha to come to drop-in visits two times a day- morning and evening. We couldn't be more right by choosing her! She went on and beyond, she was very patient with Lelouch, it took him around 4-5 days to warm up to her, but all this time Samantha was able to give his insulin shots anyways! She updated us every visit and responded to us quickly. We would definitely request Samantha to help us again with Lelouch in the future!

About: I have experience caring for dogs through personal pet sitting, including regularly watching my grandmother’s 8-year-old pomapoo when she travels. I’m responsible for feeding, walks, potty breaks, companionship, and following her routine to keep her comfortable while she’s away. I also have daily hands-on experience caring for my own one-year-old Shih Tzu, including walks, feeding, and basic care. Additionally, I’ve taken a veterinary science class where I learned about animal behavior, safety, and proper care. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekdays and Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and on Sundays after 2:00 PM. I’m happy to be flexible when possible to meet your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I always follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and use safe leash-handling at all times. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities during walks and drop-in visits.

About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.

About: I have long-time experience caring for cats, and have cared for them most of my life. I am also experienced with dogs; I work part-time at a dog daycare doing pet transportation, boarding, and watching the daycare, which includes walks, feeding, playtime, and medication administration. I am detail oriented and always put the pet's comfort as a top priority. I am currently between full time employment and graduate school, meaning my days are completely flexible. I can come as early as 7am and as late as 10pm. I take entering people's homes seriously and want to leave the space better than how I found it. I will bring some of my own supplies to increase bonding with the dog or cat.

About: Full-time dog walker & house sitter in Joliet, IL, focused on reliable, structured care. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy dogs that need more than a quick bathroom walk, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, consistency, and calm handling. My goal is simple: keep your pet’s routine stable and send clear updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have full-time flexibility. I’m available mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I structure my day around your pet’s needs to ensure consistent attention and reliable service. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and medications. I prioritize safety, secure leashing, proper entry and exit protocols, and close supervision at all times. Your home is treated with respect, and your pet’s well-being is my first priority.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat parent to my adorable Ragdoll of 7 years! Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all personalities. I’ve also been the trusted go-to sitter for my friends’ furry companions, ensuring they’re always happy, entertained, and loved. Your fur baby will enjoy personalized care and access to my beautiful cat playground, designed with all the climbing, lounging, and scratching fun a cat could dream of! Let me help keep your kitty purring and content while you’re away. As I work from home, I can provide constant care, from keeping feeding schedules on track to engaging in playtime and giving lots of love and attention. I make time for interactive activities to keep pets happy and stimulated, whether it’s playing with toys, grooming, or relaxing in my cozy home with plenty of cat-friendly spaces. Additionally, my husband works from home two days a week, so there’s almost always someone around to ensure your cat feels secure, cared for, and never lonely. Your pet will be in great hands with plenty of affection and attention to their needs! In my home, I create an stress-free, safe, and stimulating environment for your pet. I provide a structured routine with regular feeding times, plenty of play sessions, and cozy spaces for lounging or napping. Your cat will also have access to my purr-fect cat playground, designed for climbing, scratching, and exploring, ensuring they stay happy and active. I pay close attention to their comfort, health, and preferences, so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow your instructions to maintain your cat’s usual routine. I keep the space tidy, ensure food and water bowls are fresh and clean, and engage in interactive play to keep them entertained. I send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry friend is getting the best care possible.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover! I grew up with two wonderful dogs and I’ve raised my three cats since they were kittens, so I understand just how much care, patience, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. They’re part of my family, and I treat every animal I care for with that same level of love and respect. I also really enjoy spending time with pets and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or more laid back and cuddly, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive care for your furry loved ones! I work full time remotely, so as long as I can bring my laptop I can work from anywhere with wifi. I take frequent breaks so I can play with and give your pets plenty of attention. I take careful attention to detail when it comes to care instructions and the things that make every pet unique. I’m very flexible and adaptive; always happy to accommodate their needs.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life for as long as I can remember. I am just starting my Rover journey and cannot be more excited! I am comfortable around all dogs and willing to adapt and learn what is best for your pet. I will take care of your fur baby, go for walks, and even take them to dog parks if you like. I have two dogs of my own and a cat that believes he owns the house, lol. My schedule is flexible, and I can drop in and accept last-minute bookings. I am currently looking for my next adventure, and why not do something that I enjoy? I have quite a bit of free time during the day and would be more than happy to spend it looking after your cat or dog :) I live on five acres with a fenced-in backyard, plenty of space for dogs to be outside and run around and play. They're favorite on a nice day, just soaking up the sun!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Channahon on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,059 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Channahon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Channahon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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 Channahon 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 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 Channahon 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 Channahon. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
