Alyssa was great. She found time to FaceTime with us to get details on our 3 pups and managed to handle them perfectly. She’s reliable, on time and very friendly.

Danielle was great with Monarch. She took really good care of him, all of our instructions and showed up for every visit. I know that sounds basic but it is huge. We will definitely use Danielle again and can’t thank her enough.

About: I’m a pet lover excited to offer caring, reliable pet sitting and walking services. While I’m just starting out, I bring tons of energy, love, and attention to every pet I meet. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are my top priority, think of me as their new favorite buddy. I’m currently a part-time home caregiver who has a passion for learning and loves spending time with pets ☺️ I currently do not have pets at home so spending time with yours is the highlight of my day. I treat your space with the same respect I’d want for my own and your pet like family. I bring a genuine love for animals, attention to detail, and a calm, caring presence. I’ll follow your routines closely, keep you updated, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

Gionna is absolutely fantastic! My rescue cat, who rarely comes out for anyone except me, followed Gionna around the house while she visited. I have to believe that means she’s a wonderful person!

About: I am caring and patient, and will provide plenty of walks and playtime for your dog. I have raised two dogs to a healthy old age, as well as having provided short-term care for dogs of friends and family. I require a meet and greet for new clients before booking. I may also request a short trial visit (ie 2 hours) for new client boarding. My schedule is flexible so I can accommodate your pet's needs and provide them plenty of attention and care. I love all types of pet personalities! My home has lots of windows for your dog to sit and look outside, a nice neighborhood for walks and a big unfenced yard. I also have an open-door crate if your dog likes that sort of space. Your dog will always be leashed when outside.

About: Hi! My name is James and I used to have a dog named Banks who I first adopted back in 2015. I took care of him for many years until we had to sadly put down. My girlfriend and I love to take care of dogs as she currently works at an animal hospital and she always tells me about her experiences there. I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was 10 and I am currently involved at 4 Paws for Ability where I volunteer with service dogs. I am a current college student so my schedule is very flexible during the summer and I can accommodate you and your pups needs! I’ve been handling dogs for years and currently walk and sit multiple dogs around my neighborhood. I love all furry friends and would love to be able to take care of yours! I’m currently working part time, but I have a very flexible schedule. I am free all day on weekends and would love to spend my time with your pups! I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of grass and a deck. With new clients, I like to schedule a meet and greet to go over all the details of the booking and any other important details.

It was initially unsettling for me to find and hire a dog sitter for my very shy dog. Mark answered my prayers and was definitely up for the challenge!! He was calm, trustworthy and reliable. He had patience and compassion with Bella. What a great relief for me that I had absolutely no worries hiring this great pet sitter. Bella was well taken care of. I loved the uploaded picture he sent of Bella in the backyard. I will surely continue to book my pet sitting needs with Mark. I highly recommend him as he is awesome at what he does!!

About: I have experience with 2 Boston terriers of my own, as well as dog sitting for puppies and senior dogs! I am comfortable with giving medication and am able to walk the dogs every day!

I do plan to continue working on Rover part time! I have been pet sitting by word of mouth for friends and family for about 7 years!

I can make those days work after 5 pm. Weekends I can do any hours as well for any service. I have a fenced yard and no other pets at my house at the time. I have water bowls and feeders. I also will walk your dog for as long or little as needed because I love walks and runs myself!

About: I have had dogs many years. We have had different kinds of dogs, such as Rottweiler/German Shepard mix, medium and small. Sat for senior dogs needing a little extra help with ambulation and medication. We have two energetic -boys to play with and take for walks around the dog friendly neighborhood. We have one healthy 17 year old Dachshund in home now that we adopted, who has been with us for over 12 years, who warm ups with guest dogs pretty quickly. Looking forward to have different dogs to share our love and time taking care of them. Took a from ROVER sitting when a kitten adopted our family and we needed to learn to care for cats. Ready to reconnect with dog again. Family oriented care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Looking to walk or drop in care. Flexible once we meet the pet and owners. Will walk and go into home as requested. High energy or snuggles as needed to accommodate the needs of the dogs and keep them safe while caring for them.

Rachel did an excellent job with Monarch. Rachel kept me up to date and took pictures. Rachel took good care of Monarch, played with him, walked him, gave him his meds and fed him. This was my second attempt at home visits while away with Rover and my first went really bad. But Rachel has restored my trust and I will definitely use her services again.

About: Hi friends, my name is Carla, and I LOVE animals. Anyone who knows me, can vouch for that. I’ve grown up having a numerous amount of pets, all different sizes, and kinds! Pretty much anything my parents would let me bring home since I was a toddler. I’ve had dogs and cats of all sizes, snakes, turtles, birds, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, you name it! This didn’t stop in my adult hood, I currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 turtles, whom are all rescues! I have been in the animal field for 6+ years, working in shelters, emergency hospitals, surgical units, and general clinics as a veterinary technician. I am highly experienced with anxious/reactive pets, senior pets, neonatal pets, or even pets with medical needs. I’m also currently a lead tech at a spay/neuter clinic so I am very experienced with surgical recovery! I understand the importance of safety of crates/kennels, and am willing to be compliant with your house rules for your pets! Wether they need to be walked around blocks, or even in your yard for a playtime/potty break, rain or shine I will be there. I also have training experience, so if allowed, I would be happy to help with leash training or command training during my visits! If there is one thing every pet needs, it someone patient and willing, and that’s me! Rain or shine, I’ll be there! I’m fully available to grow and learn your pets schedule and routine in order to maximize their comfort and needs while in my care! I have a huge fenced in yard, and dogs that are pet friendly! I also have kitties who love dogs, and I foster shelter pets frequently, I am very experienced with proper introductions and reading body language!

It was our first time leaving Daisy with someone, and the experience couldn't have been more amazing. Jimmy kept us updated the whole trip, with photos and videos, but most importantly, he took care of her. We gave him a nervous dog, and we received a peaceful and loved dog back. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend him.

Right when we met Ethel, we knew she was going to be a perfect fit. She has great communication and great energy. My wife and I finally felt at ease leaving our 1.5 year old pup at home knowing he was getting great care during her visits.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Chicago Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 12,047 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Chicago Ridge. 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 Chicago Ridge 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 Chicago Ridge 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 Chicago Ridge 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 Chicago Ridge. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
