“Caterina did an excellent job taking care of our cat. She always posted photos and I could tell our cat enjoyed her visits. She also brought in our mail and water our plants. Highly recommend Caterina!”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, bearded dragons, hamsters, and guinea pigs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided pet sitting and house sitting services for friends, family members, and neighbors over the years. I am available to walk, feed, and care for your pets while you're away, as well as clean up after them and provide companionship to help them feel comfortable and loved in your absence. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable. I currently have a 6-year-old Great Dane/Saint Bernard mix, a 7-year-old Red Heeler/Pointer mix, and two cats, giving me hands-on experience with pets of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I currently work part-time, I stay home with my kids during the week. They are in school full time during the school year.. I have a lot of free time I would walk the dogs or let them out. Whatever is preferred. We can discuss scheduling and the needs of everyone involved. Flexible and reliable
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
About: I've taken care of pets (dogs, cats, hamsters, birds) since I was young. Friends and family have been relying on me to care for their pets. I also have a cat of my own that I adopted. I'm currently work from home so I can keep your pups and kitties company while you're away. I'm not available to board as my home is a single cat home. I can keep your pets company and walk your dog during the time you're gone. I love to play with dogs and cats and can keep them entertained easily.
“Laniece, was great with my pair of pitties! She picked up after them and I'm so appreciative of that. She gave them lots of love and attention. Took great pics so that my mind was at ease. Thor & Star are looking forward to more visits.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From puppies to elderly dogs, I have seen it all. I have been to countless behavior and training classes with my own dogs so I am prepared for whatever your dog throws at me! I am currently a full-time student with flexible hours! I am available most weekday afternoons as well as all-day Sundays. Saturdays vary on a week-to-week basis. I am a huge fan of in-home care for pets as it allows them to stay in an environment that is familiar to them. Whenever I dogsit, I always make sure to interact and play with them as much as possible to keep them happy and relaxed!
About: Hi there! My name is Allison and I’m a labor and delivery nurse in the Chicagoland area. Where to begin...I have a Goldendoodle named Delilah and have experience not only caring for my own pup but also pet sitting for families with dogs of many different breeds and ages (Pitbull puppy, senior German Shephard, adult King Charles, etc.). I absolutely love taking pups on walks, playing fetch or just hanging out with them! I am more than happy to adjust to all types of different pups needs whether it be with regard to medication administration or high energy levels - I would be more than happy to accommodate! I would love to share more about my experience or provide references! Can't wait to hear from you!
About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of hands-on experience, a deep love for animals, and a calm, reliable approach to care. I’m 31 years old and have spent my entire life around dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, giving gentle attention to senior pets, or just understanding each pet’s unique needs, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, affection, and respect. I’m confident in administering basic medications, recognizing pet body language, and keeping animals safe, comfortable, and happy in any environment. I work full-time from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, but I’m available for pet sitting on weekends and for walks or drop-in visits after 5pm on weekdays. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give them the attention, activity, and affection they need when I’m with them. I have a fenced in yard with enough space to run and play, I also have a chocolate lab who is laid back and loves other dogs.
About: I am available for drop in visits or walks in the Shorewood and Minooka area. I am also available to watch your dog(s) in my home. I have a fully fenced yard, a very friendly Boxer mix, and plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I have been around dogs all my life. I recently had to let my Saint Bernard cross the Rainbow Bridge just shy of his 13th birthday. I volunteer and foster dogs/puppies from a few local rescues. I am very responsible and will treat your dog like I would my own. I love dogs of all sizes and all personalities. I can send you updates and pictures of my visits with your dog so you can see they are well taken care of. I am a teacher so I am off for the summer. I work one mile from home so can come home during my lunch time if your dog needs a potty break. My yard is fully fenced, my dog has free roam of my house and so will yours. I do have crates here in case your dog is used to being crated.
“Alysa was absolutely fantastic with our cats! She was very thorough, asked questions when needed, the litter box is clean and our kitties are happy and healthy upon our return. We are so very happy we chose her and will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I was a child. I grew up with larger dogs and a small dog as well, and am familiar with all stages of life. Currently, I’m a furmom of 3! have a 1.5 year old Australian shepherd, 9 year old smaller dog, and a 3 year old cat. When taking care of your fur babies I will treat them like my own 🐶🐱 I am a nurse so my schedule varies, I usually have 2-3 days off in a row or sometimes more. Please inquire on my current availability! If coming to my home, unfortunately we do not have a fenced in yard but we have the proper equipment for using a very long rope tied to an anchor for ample room and play time outside. I will always keep a good eye on your pets to maintain their safety.
About: As a long time dog owner, I can care for dogs of all different ages-or just visit with them for a bit! I am experienced with my own pets and am sure I can care for yours in the same way. I’m currently in a hybrid setting at my job so I work from home Monday and Friday and am flexible throughout any point of the day at that time. Tuesday-Thursday I get home at 6:30 or earlier so I can take your dog on a little afternoon stroll as well. I have a partially fenced yard and am able to crate dogs if needed. I can keep them company at your home as well if needed!
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a 7 year old German Shepherd and 4 year old black lab mix. I love all animals and spending time with them. I have experience with taking care of diabetic cats who received insulin twice a day. I work full time from home so I have flexibility throughout the day. I am about to become an empty nester now that my youngest will be heading off to college in August. I’ve found that I have a lot of free time. I am available to come to your house as often as needed to care for your fur babies. I can take your dog for walks or just snuggle with your cat, whatever is needed.
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.
“Paige is 100% dedicated to doing everything she can for you dog. She is always on time and has great communication. But Otis was just not comfortable and not used to the situation. And that is not reflection on Paige and her abilities. She did an amazing job. She communicated with me and mom while I out of town. And my mom and Paige tried relentlessly to make Otis feel comfortable when she was at my house to let him out. Otis was just not used to it and that's in now way at fault to Paige. She is an incredible dog sitter in every way you'd want expect. If you need someone reliable and you can put your trust into taking great care of your dog, please consider Paige! Thank you for your help, dedication, communication, and patients. You definitely are a 5 ⭐️ across the board!”

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.

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.
