“Elissa did a wonderful job caring for my two bunnies, Mila and Lucky. They were well fed and cleaned up after daily! I look forward to continuing to use Elissa in the for all their bun-sitting needs!”
“Zoe was absolutely incredible. She met with us beforehand to make sure everyone was at ease with the arrangement. She spent plenty of time with our cats at each visit and took plenty of pictures to make sure they got some love and attention. On top of all that, she seemed like a genuine and caring person. We will be happy to use her again in the future and you should too!”
About: I've cared for all kinds of fuzzy friends since I was little; I've been around everything from horses, to goats, to chickens, to dogs of all sizes, to llamas. I have a 5 year old Wheaten Terrier named Dash that is my entire world. I work from home, so I'm able to assist you with walks and drop-ins during the way when you're away! I work from home, so I'm available to help while you're gone throughout the day and into the evening! I have regular availability Monday through Friday and am happy to drop by for a visit or a walk. Regular walks, plenty of attention, and a clean, comfortable environment while I carefully follow each pet's routine! My Wheaten has quirks, so I'm happy to accommodate whatever you need for your family.
About: I have taken care of my own pets since childhood (from cats, to dogs, to rodents, to horses) and have worked with them at several jobs - including The Walt Disney Company. Throughout my education in becoming a therapist I strive to treat every person, and animal, with compassion and patience. My own cat has been on medication for several years, so I’m comfortable caring for aging pets or those who need more attention. I currently am a full-time student, so when I’m not in class I am at home. This provides a relatively free schedule that shifts with every semester. For the Fall I am free all day Tuesday and Fridays and every weekend, and the afternoons Wednesday and Thursday. The first thing is to listen to the pets, how they communicate, and what makes them feel most comfortable. It is their home and their safety that is top priority, and I want them to know I am a safe person.
“Jazlin was wonderful with my cats!! It was such a relief knowing they were well cared for while I was away. Both cats warmed up to her! That means a lot. I hated the idea of them hiding...but I didn't need to worry...they both came out to meet her. She was super easy to work with and had great communication...I'd definitely book her again! Thanks, Jazlin!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Ania. I am huge animal lover and have been since I was a kid. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and ages including puppies as well as seniors dogs. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your fur baby! I have a 3 kids at school. I am staying mom. I am flexible. I am available most days for dogs walks, drop visits and daycare. I am available over the weekend for house sitting service. I have extensive experience dog walking and pet sitting and will keep close eye on your pet and stick with their daily schedule. Each walk or visit will include detailed summaries and photos of our time together to give you peace of mind ❤️
About: Hello, my name is Hailey! I currently work full-time through the week (Sun-Thurs 10-6) and am looking to make extra cash doing what I love - spending time with dogs! I previously have worked at a dog boarding center in Whitestown, Indiana, making me suitable to take care of your pet, whether it be feeding, exercising, or even medicating them for you while you’re away at work, traveling, whatever the case may be! While I have experience with all kinds of animals, currently I have two large breed dogs, an Australian Shepherd mix who is 6 years old and an Alaskan Malamute who is 7 years old! Both are dog and people friendly, so your dog can have a playmate, or we can arrange your pet to have space to him/herself if necessary! As I have worked for a business that is used to various pets having various needs, I will do my best to accommodate you in any way necessary! I also am used to working with cats (as the dog boarding also has a cat portion as well) so I am more than happy to help your feline friends, too! Hope to see you soon! I have open availability outside of Sun-Thurs 10-6. I work hard to make sure that I am transparent about the time I have to spend with your pets! I have a lot of experience watching other people’s pets, as well as being a lifelong owner of dogs. I love all breeds and ages!
About: I have a lot of experience working with different types of dogs and puppies. I have a big heart for any kind of animal. I can’t wait to meet some wonderful dogs! I only work roughly 20 hours a week so I am available often to let out dogs and play with them. Your dogs will be a priority for me. I always watch my dogs closely when they are outside to make sure they stay in their yard. I always put the dogs safety as a high priority to make sure they always return safe & sound.
“Mary and her Dad (Ray - also on Rover) teamed up to drop-in on our kitties while we were away. We were new to the area and we have one playful, rambunctious kitty and one very stressed kitty; they made sure to find our stressed fur baby, feed her, and love on her every day. They were extra attentive and flexible to our last-minute travel plans. I highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!”
About: My wife and I have been taking care of animals (dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs and bunnies) since we were very young. As we get closer to retirement, we would like to spend more time doing what we love and that's caring for animals. We have well over 40 years of experience caring for animals and feel like I should have been a veterinarian. My son started a pet sitting business when he was in 7th grade and has built a strong base over the last 6 years. I thought it might be great to build it with him and sign up for Rover to assist additional people in our community. Your pet will receive all day attention as I am working from home and am here to take routine breaks for potty, walks, attention and play time. While our yard is not fenced, it is large and wooded and I spend a lot of time outside with our dog and the dogs in our care. We do go for long walks at Potters Bridge nearby along the river and in the woods and I take lots of time every day to give our guests the attention they need. Need products for your pet? Go to OptimalPetProductsDOTcom and check it out With my wife working at home & me being home by noon most days, we are able to be home w/ dogs all day so they do not have to be crated, kenneled and receive a lot of attention throughout the day. We do not have a fenced yard but do have a substantial dog run that we hook up to allow dogs to have a lot of exercise. Most of their exercise would be one on one with walks and play. We do have crates, but we typically do NOT crate our guests unless we are told to do so by an owner. Some owners prefer dogs crated at night, but we do not do that unless that is part of the owner's instructions. We do read the instructions for daily care closely on the Rover app to ensure that your dogs are up at the right time, fed correctly and receive medications or supplements as required. We take your instructions to heart and very seriously as this is your family member who you care for on a regular basis and we don't want to upset their schedule when they return home with you after their busy and playful stay here.
“Elizabeth did a great job of taking care of my cats. She came everyday and sat with them too… a first in pet sitting for me. Incredibly trustworthy, super sweet, and a pleasure to meet; will be booking Elizabeth on my next trip away, for sure!”
“Zoe did a great job with drop in visits/walking Maple and Millie! Excellent communication, on time and the pups loved her! Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her in the near future!! Thank you!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and other animals for neighbors, friends, and family since I was really young. I have done many things such as walking and feeding the animals. I am currently about to start a PRN job. This job will vary weekly but I will do my best to update my calander constantly. I am a very flexible and caring person and will accommodate the visit to any specific needs you might have as I am caring for your pet.
“With all of our go-to neighbor friends who typically drop by to feed and let our pets out traveling the same week as us, we were a little reluctant to leave the care of our pets to a new person. But Amy was excellent. She stopped by a few days before we left to get acquainted and we immediately knew our animals were in good hands. We received updates throughout each day when she arrived and finished each visit. We also got assorted photos of our animals at the end of each visit which was very nice. On top of the dog and cat feeding and walking the dog once per day, Amy also fed and watered our daughters' parakeet and leopard gecko! I would highly recommend Amy for any and all animal care. You can tell that she takes this job very seriously and loves doing it.”
About: I’ve have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I have taken care of animals as young as a puppy and senior dogs. I have also cared for small animals. I work from home on Mondays. I do work in office Tuesday through Friday but home on the weekends with full availability. I do have help at home so someone is always present to take dogs out to potty! My dogs do have a fenced in backyard and can run and play. I can walk dogs if needed. I also can take care of fish and small animals. I have two Guinea pigs at home!
About: I’ve taken care of a lot of pets; cats and I’m a dog owner now! A lot of my friends have asked for me too! I’m mostly staying at home so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby and give them all the attention they may need! I have an apartment and one puppy! I have a park right next to my apartment so I can take your fur baby out for walks!
“Steph did a great job of taking care of our pup! We appreciated her being available on such short notice and her communication with how our dog, Charlie was doing while we were gone. Thanks Steph!”
About: I've had animals since I was 4 years old. I’ve been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would go out of my way to walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would let me. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals from cats and dogs to standard farm-animals, rodents, and reptiles. I also have experience with true exotics as seen in some of my photos as I was previously a zookeeper. If there is an emergency that requires veterinary intervention, I will contact you immediately and take your pet to a vet or emergency vet of your choice. And if you have any extra tasks you need me to do like collecting mail & packages or watering plants, I can do that too! I work my day job Tuesdays - Saturdays from 7am - 12pm in Indianapolis and can be with your pet continuously before and after those hours. If you need a pet with constant care however, you will have to look somewhere else or book at least 2 weeks in advance. While my prices may seem steep, with my knowledge and years of experience, you will find that my care goes above and beyond! I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.

Lauren has been a blessing to our family and our pup! Her care for Murphy leaves us as ease while away on a trip, she brings in packages, took out the trash bins and cared for our home. All around, she hit every mark for us and why we continue to book her for our dog sitting needs. Thank you Lauren!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cicero is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,481 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cicero. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cicero. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
