“Magdalena was incredible! She kept me informed about how my cat Freeway was doing, was always responsive, and sent a lot of pictures (which made my day). Both Freeway and I were lucky to have her care — would 100% rebook.”
“Natalia was very responsive and nice to work with! She was so caring with our kitties and spent extra time with them by playing and giving pets. She followed directions and asked questions if she had them. She provided photos and videos. Would definitely hire Natalia again!”
“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for over 15 years through my own pets and helping care for family and friend’s animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, and keeping pets on their routines. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is fairly flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. My availability may change as my work schedule changes, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can commit to the care I agree to provide. I’m happy to work around my schedule when possible and I’m especially flexible on days I’m not working. I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, make sure they’re safe and comfortable, and keep their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of your space and will always be responsible, attentive, and communicative while you’re away.
About: I'm intimately familiar with cats and their body language and have been taking care of my silly accident-prone orange boy for 6 years. For the past few years, I've taken care of multiple cats at a time, have rescued kittens, and house-sat for other cat owners. I know how to handle the crazy kitties that may love or hate strangers. I go to classes every weekday until 2:30pm, freeing up my entire afternoon to care for people's pets! I also have my own car, allowing me to travel more reliably. I brush, feed, water, and play with clients' pets while remaining respectful of their homes. I am a quick learner when it comes to understanding an animal's preferences, including sitting with them the entire time they eat to help them feel secure.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I feel as though lots of people want dogs but don’t care to learn how to properly take care of them so, I go above and beyond to take care of the dogs I am able to take care of within my power. I would like to have a meet and greet before I take on any assignments. I am a TA for Oak Park 97 school district. I love animals; especially dogs. I have a degree in Zoology and seek a career working with animals. I usually am free after 3:30 pm Monday through Friday and have open availability most weekends. I try to respond to messages as soon as possible and will work to accommodate your pets needs as best as I can. I make sure that my client’s pet’s feel safe as possible when they’re with me. While walking, I won’t let the client’s dog interact with other people or dogs because you never know how dogs will react with strangers or other dogs. That is unless the owner gives me permission to do so. If feeding is required I will make sure that the dog gets the appropriate amount of food for their breed or per the owner’s instructions. If need be I will also play with the dog and make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise that they need.
About: I've been a dog owner since I was 9 years old, so I know how important these furry guys are to their person! I've also volunteered at shelter's and have worked at a pet store giving customers the best advice to my ability and helping them. Be it dog/cat food, toys, collars, pet care, and much more! I will pay attention to your furry one and make them feel loved from the short time that they are away from you and give them the best experience that I can! I'm currently in school studying to become a Veterinarian! My Shih-Tzu Chuey made my life full of good memories and I want to make sure that every dog I can help is helped and lives a life full of love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. Started with my bichon frise. We got her when I was a baby, so we basically grew up together. She was fully trained, playful and love going for a ride.

About: I’m always the go to person to take care of loved ones pets done pets. They trust me and know I will watch over them and attend to their needs. I’m very attentive and pay attention to them. Will never leave them out of my sight. I can care for any dog after 5pm to 11pm Monday through Friday and if I am open to the weekend as well, I will gladly be able to have service open for Saturday and Sunday. Whatever the client needs for their dog, I can help. If they want a calm area space, I can provide that. If they are affectionate or attentive, I can provide that. Much energized dogs, I’m able to take them on walks and play with them until they feel tired. They are allowed on couch and beds if the owner feels comfortable doing that. I have blankets for dogs and a brush, poopy bags and toys as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cicero
Maribel was perfect! I needed someone to administer medication to my cat 3 times a day over a holiday weekend with the least amount of stress possible and my mom was there to witness how professional and punctual she was. My cat Alfie is so thankful that he was was in pawfessional hands while he recovered from his urinary obstruction! ❤️❤️❤️ couldn’t recommend Mari more!
Heather was the best pet sitter we have ever had. Thank you. She was excellent at communication, and our cats loved her. Our 2 cats have been shy around previous sitters, but they were not with Heather. That's so important when you are away from your pets to know that they are getting the attention they need.
Wendy is the most amazing pet sitter we have ever hired. Rover.com is lucky to have her on board. Communicaton: Outstanding. Pet Care: Phenomenal. Attention to Detail: Perfection. Wendy made sure all of the little things were taken care of as well, like sweeping around the litter box, bringing in mail, washing down heavy use areas.... holy cow, is this girl GOOD. Highly recommended.
Another great booking with Rosario! We booked her for drop in visits for our dog while we were out of state for a wedding. She always sends lots of photos and videos of our boy having a great time - putting us at ease that he’s in good hands. Our return flight got cancelled multiple times and Rosario was so helpful and flexible with extending her visits so our boy wasn’t left alone until we finally got home two days later. We are so grateful!
Natalia is wonderful, she is incredibly responsive and provides feedback on each visit. She was comfortable taking my energetic Great Dane puppy on a walk, which I know he loved - with me being at work for so long. An additional thing I appreciate is she is super flexible and always willing to work with our crazy schedules. 10/10 recommend.

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 Cicero 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
