About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, including a German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Pitbull mix, so I’m very comfortable with both large and high-energy breeds. I also have experiences with extended stay puppy sitting where I managed feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and creating a calm, structured environment. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are, especially with puppies. I’m currently preparing to welcome a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I’m very intentional about creating safe, positive experiences for dogs. I work Monday through Friday but my partner is currently home all day, so someone will always be there to care for your dog! We are open to boarding any night. Walks I am primarily available after work or sometimes the morning before. My partner is currently available most anytime! We are both reliable and detail oriented. We are prepping to bring in our very own golden retriever puppy, so will treat your dog as if they are our own! As mentioned above I work Mon-Friday roughy 8-4. My partner is currently home throughout the day so someone will always be there to care for your dog. We are open to boarding almost any day especially weekends where we are both home. Walks and drop ins work best for me before work hours or after but my partner has open availability so between us we can accommodate to you! Feel free to ask if you have any specific availability questions! :) Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and am very attentive to routines, feeding schedules, and safety during walks and care. I always keep dogs securely leashed on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to providing a safe and positive experience. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you always feel confident and connected while your dog is in my care.
“Tara is great! Thank you so much Tara for helping with Zen and making sure he gets his food,water ,and potty breaks while I'm away even with his recent injury and having a cast on. Tara has Good communication and is very caring. Can't thank her enough!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”
“Justice took great care of my cat Opal. She was quick to learn her medication injection routine and made both Opal and I feel comfortable while I was away. She was very responsive and made sure to send me updates with every drop-in visit!”

Additionally, I’ve fostered dogs during extreme weather emergencies, caring for each one until I was able to personally find them a loving, forever home. I earned my Master’s in Psychological Science and am currently pursuing a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. My background has strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding of behavior, all of which are qualities that help me provide attentive, individualized care for every pet. As a dog owner myself (to a sweet American bully), I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a dependable companion, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your scheduling needs whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any other preferences to ensure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every home with the utmost respect and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease throughout my care.
“Natalia was absolutely amazing. From our first message to her first meeting my dog and through her multiple drop-in visits while I was in the city for work, I was really impressed with her responsiveness and care for Archie. I rescued him a few months ago and work remotely, so this was the first time he'd had someone who wasn't me come to visit him, and he immediately warmed to her and was excited to see her. Natalia was prompt, followed all instructions clearly, and was great about letting me know when her visits started and sendig pictures of their time together. I will definitely be using Natalia again and can't recommend her enough!”
About: Always the first friend in line to excitedly say "Yes!" to any pet sitting opportunity. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace, I'm happy to tailor my care to what makes them comfortable. I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is to make every visit a positive and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Happy to provide plenty of updates and photos so you always know they're in great hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, and sitting while giving each pet the attention they deserve. I love being active, spending time outdoors, and getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether it's a quick potty break, a long walk, or keeping your pet company while you're away, I'm committed to providing consistent, loving care you can count on. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if provided), and any other specific care requests. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and secure. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to get to know their personality and comfort level. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I'll provide patient, loving care tailored to their needs. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We’be been using Jessica for visits on and off for a while now, and I always appreciate her prompt communication and pictures of my pup having a good time. She has been very flexible with my last minute requests. Definitely recommend!”
“Great communication, friendly and professional! Has experience with pitties, which is was a determining factor in our booking. Karen was very understanding and supportive of Diesel's needs.”
About: My brother in law breeds bulldogs, so I’ve had pretty of experience caring for dogs of any age! From puppies to older dogs, I am attentive and skilled while still having passion for it :) I work part-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to dedicate real, quality time to your pets — not just a rushed visit. I’m currently building up my pet care business while saving for an exciting move to Austin, TX, so I’m motivated, reliable, and genuinely excited to build lasting relationships with the pets (and people!) I work with. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member — reach out anytime to chat about your pet’s specific needs! My love for animals runs deep — for the past 5 years, I’ve helped care for dogs of all ages by assisting my brother-in-law, who breeds bulldogs. From bottle-feeding tiny puppies to managing the needs of full-grown adults, I’ve learned firsthand how to read a dog’s body language, handle different temperaments, and provide the patient, attentive care every pet deserves.
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. Sadly she passed away last year. Now I get to watch over relatives dogs. A Labrador and a mix American pitbull terrier. Which motivated me to become a dog sitter.

I am now in summer school my days availably are Monday & Wednesday through 11am-1:45pm I am off Tuesday through Sunday I am happy to talk more availability dates😉 I have 3 cats that are dog friendly. But I do have a separate room and porch (With a window because they love looking outside) to keep them separate from other fur babies if needed.
About: I’ve had my oldest dog since I was 5 and my second since i was 7. I have been taking care of them since I was a kid and love meeting new pets! I am currently working part-time only a few days a week so I am available a lot during the week and especially during the weekends. I have a fence in my backyard and gates to block the spaces between so they don’t try to squeeze in between them. I also have a camera in my backyard to check before I take them outside.

About: Hello , I’m Timiya! I’ve been around animals my whole entire life. My great uncle taught me everything I need to know about animals; from how to take care of him to what they need to survive and how to make them feel comfortable and safe .He made sure I understood that humans are no better than animals we all need love and patience . My job is to create a beautiful fun loving friend I am your friends so that they can be understood and cared for and loved . For overnight pet I require the owner to equip the pet with a overnight bag! Of course with a pet like items.Here at my Pet Paradise your pet will be in the best care. I have a number of neighborhood animals Ive take care of on a daily basis. Along with a silly family dog named Nova that's obsessed with playfully attacking toes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cicero
Sofia is beyond attentive and so kind! She really loves cats, and that’s a huge win for any parent leaving their pets behind. I have two elderly cats and she let me know exactly how they were each day. I had some flight issues getting home and she was more than flexible with me to ensure they were taken care of. Will definitely utilize her services again, and recommend her to all!
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.
Luis is my number one choice for holding things down with my furry crew when I travel. He is a kind and communicative person who spends quality time with my kitties, and makes sure they have all the food and water and fresh litter they could possibly need every day. I’m grateful for him!
We were happy to have Karolly visit our senior kitty Camilla. She took her time during her visit and made sure to make a great connection with Camilla each time. She was communicative and professional, and we felt confident in her services. We would definitely recommend Karolly!
We had a great experience withAaron who did a few weekday drop in visits for us! He was very thorough during the intake and took the time to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a good fit for everyone, which we really appreciated. During the drop-in visits, Aaron took our pup to a local dog park (with our permission of course) where she got plenty of exercise and socialization—and had a great time. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’d definitely book with Aaron again!
This our second time having Paola care for our furbabies while we were out of town and she was just as amazing as the last time. Words cannot express how much we appreciate her attention to detail and thoughtfulness. She even found a new game to play with our one kitty who doesn’t like to play very much! Paola truly takes all of our stress and worry away when we have to leave our babies. With Paola, we know they are in great hands!

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.

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.
