Pet Sitting in Chicago

Build your dog sitting business with Rover and have an excuse to visit one of the many dog-friendly attractions in the windy city!

Rover Makes it Easy to Get Started

Becoming a dog sitter allows you to set your own schedule and choose your own services, including dog boarding in your home, doggy day care, dog walking, drop-in visits, or pet sitting in your client's home.

After being approved by Rover, you set up your profile with the services you want to provide, your dog sitting experience, and the days you are available. Rover connects you with educational opportunities and continually advertises to bring you more clients.

Earn extra income caring for pets

And Rover will help you manage it all!

Set your own schedule.

Set your own schedule and rates. Sitters who offer boarding in their home can earn more money and book more requests than sitters who don’t offer it, simply because it’s an in-demand service.
