“Amy's the best. So sweet and did a great job caring for our little Willy. She sent me several photos and was available last minute to take care of our little guy. He looks like he had a great time with Amy and I trust her to watch him any time. Thank you for all your help!”
“This is our second time having John care for Abby and Archie, and things went very well again. The dogs seemed very calm and comfortable with John, all instructions were followed, and everything was in order when we returned. We appreciate John taking such good care of our beloved pups!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and have grown up around dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd and Coton De Tulear, both of whom are my pride and joy, along with the rest of our pack. I understand that these precious souls mean so much to so many people, and promise that under my care and supervision they’ll be treated with the utmost respect and love, just as if they were my own! I’m currently in school full time, so while my availability may be limited depending on the hour, I assure you my care for your pets isn’t! Please double-check that the dates/times you need align with my availability before submitting a booking. Thank you! It’s all dependent on what my clients homes are equipped with! If you have a fenced yard and high energy dogs, I’m more than happy to take them outside to play and explore, or play inside. Treats are always an option, as are pets, cuddles, and plenty of love for your fur babies!
About: Hi! My name is Paige, and I live in Pennellville, NY. I recently graduated from the University of South Carolina and am looking forward to spending my time doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals! I’ve always loved animals and would be happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, or house sitting for your pets. My family has a one-year-old Siberian Husky named Remi, so I’m very familiar with caring for energetic dogs. I also have previous pet-sitting experience with a Golden Retriever named Archie. During that time, I stopped by to feed him, take him on walks, play with him, and make sure he was well cared for while his owners were away. I am reliable, responsible, and will treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or someone to stay with them while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care can fit into my weekly routines mostly on the weekends, during the week I am working as a marketing assistant and will be busy. I care for someone’s pet in there home and my own by making sure everything is clean and there is nothing on the ground that could be harmful to a pet.
“Amazing pet sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my baby. I got regular updates and could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
About: I grew up in Florida surrounded by a wide variety of animals including dogs, and I love being able to care for people’s fur babies like they’re my own. I have experience dog-sitting, dog-walking, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’m currently working a part-time job at a bookstore while pursuing my Master’s online through SU, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can easily provide your pet with company in your home or simply go provide them with care and fulfill their needs before leaving. Whatever works best for you! I’ve also house-sit before and stayed with a person’s pet to ensure their dog never felt lonely or without care.
About: I've cared for animals my whole life but I've been working as a veterinary assistant for 7 years. Thanks to my experience I'm comfortable with all sorts of animals and situations. I'm provided a lot of different medical care as well. I'm most passionate about providing the best quality of life. Especially for the misunderstood critters, like the seniors, reactive, and even reptiles. I'm currently working full time during the week, so I am able to do some morning or evening care. I have open availability on the weekends. I can care for pets in your home and provide the routine that they are used to. I can also clean up or do whatever is helpful while spending quality time with your pet. I am able to care for some pets in my home as long as the environment suits them well.
About: Your pets will be well taken care of under my supervision. I love to run and walk so your dog will have lots of exercise. I am willing to give medications if needed, I have experience from working at ASPCA. I also love to groom and give baths so your dog will never come home dirty, and nails can be trimmed as needed. Animals are my main priority, and I am currently apprenticing to become a full-time groomer. So this is exceptional experience for my resume. My clients shouldn't have any doubt that their pup/fur baby is not taken care of, and I will only be a phone call away if needed. I have a very flexible schedule, and will always put my clients and their animals first. I currently have an open schedule and a house to care for your pets if needed. I'm available anytime and would love to take the time to care for your fur babies! I have a yard with a long runner for pets that need the extra running space. I also provide long walks and minimal training and grooming. I have 6 years experience grooming dogs.
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners complete peace of mind. I’m currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to play and give them plenty of love while I’m there. When caring for pets in a client's home, I work to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I also respect my client's home by keeping it clean and secure, providing updates and photos, and communicating promptly about how their pet is doing.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for roughly the last 5 years. I love how sweet and cuddly animals are and I hope you will trust me to watch yours!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Cicero is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 551 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 Cicero 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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 Cicero with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
