About: Being a professional dog trainer, I have experience handling dogs of all temperments. My training background also helps me understand cat behavior and body language. I also have experience with a variety of reptiles, fish, and amphibians. I provide safe, structured care tailored to your pet's needs, helping reinforce good habits and reduce stress while you are away. I am available Monday through Friday to do 1 to 3 drop-ins a day. Each drop-in will be 30-minutes long to ensure your pet's needs are met. During a 30-minute drop-in visit, I'll provide fresh water, food (if needed), a potty break or short walk, playtime, and basic enrichment to keep your dog happy and stimulated. I'll also check for any signs of stress or discomfort and send you a quick update with photos. Every visit is tailored to your pet's routine and needs.

About: I have a giant 110 pound dog and I have been walking him for years. I have a lot of experience with walking all types of dogs, big, small, reactive, and trained. I currently only do DoorDash deliveries and Instacart deliveries for income, so my schedule is flexible and open. This is what I’m looking to do for income. I won’t necessarily be able to bring the dogs to my house because one of my dogs is not too fond of other dogs, but I can walk your dogs and feed your cats.

About: Fostering puppies, horses, and birds was a family job growing up. I have experience in taking care of sick, recovering, and aging dogs. Both my dogs currently are 11 years old, so I know how stressful it can be trying to find care for them. They require more frequent restroom visits, focused care on comfort, and overall more time and attention. I can help with that! I've trained both dogs, have experience with training puppies, and can manage high or low energy animals. I'm currently in college full-time. Most of my days are spent studying on campus, which means I have a need for some fur therapy! I'll gladly walk, feed, and play with your pets as much as needed. Non-verbal cues are essential to building trust with animals. I do my best to pay attention to how my own pups communicate through head position, tail, eye, and mouth movement, as well as general body language. I'm a stranger to your pup, so I'll be sure to act carefully until they're comfortable with me. I know how important a routine is-my pups are getting older, and the more they age, the more they want to stick to a schedule! I hope to know more about how you take care of them, what their day looks like, and will do my best to replicate so the transition isnt rough!

“Linda popped in to let my pups out for a mid-day potty break. She arrived when she said she would, sent pics of the girls while they were out and locked up when she left. I’ll definitely reach out in the future when a need someone to check on the fur babies.”

About: I’ve taken care of 5 dogs so far while their parents are on deployment. I treat every pet like family!! Can’t wait to meet you! College student; I am completely open Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday. The other days of the week I am gone at least six hours. I live in an apartment but that has not been an issue because of constant walk around the apartment and trips to the dog park.

About: I currently live in a home with four dogs, two horses, and two cats, so taking care of animals is part of my everyday life. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds like labs, heelers, terriers, and Pitbulls, Labs, Great Pyrenees, Shepards, heelers, terriers, pit bulls, and Mastiffs. With that, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’m very active, love taking my pups out on runs and hikes. Whether its playtime, feeding, cleaning up, or just giving them attention and company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know every animal has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience administering medication when needed, so I’m happy to follow any special care instructions. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to work around what your pet needs. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, evening visit, or overnight care, I’m happy to communicate and find a schedule that works for both of us. I know how important consistency is for pets, so I’ll do my best to stick to their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention while you’re away. I understand life has obstacles and I’m very flexible to your needs, commitments, and changes! I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or just spending quality time with them. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and I’ll treat them with the same love I give my own animals. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with large breeds and high-energy dogs, but I enjoy caring for pets of all sizes and personalities.

About: I have had pet's all my life. Animals of all sorts have been a passion of mine since forever. I have lots of experience with various animals; furry, scaly, 2, 4, or 8 legged, from very large to tiny, babies, special needs or even elderly. I have always been someone my family and friends could trust to help them with and love all their animals. From just cuddles, to baths and walks, to playtime, I'll be there for you. I have taken a pet first aid class online also. So even in an emergency you can be confident that they will be cared for. I can continue with training regimens, schedules, and just about anything else you could need for your pet. I am willing and able to provide your pet's with all the love and care they need in your absence. I am trustworthy, respectful, dependable, energetic, and I promise you and your pets will be happy with me and the love and care I will provide. I am available anytime, day or night. I will work in any weather also. So rain or shine, dark or light you can count on me. I am unable to board any pets at this time. I am living with family in their home. They have asked that I do not provide any over night or extended pet sitting services.

About: I have had a lot of different dogs and animals, and I love all kinds of animals. I was raised on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, cats, dogs and so on. I love dealing with animals and taking of them. I also love to make sure that all animals are well taken care of. I like to take my dog on walks instead of just putting him in the backyard when it's time to go outside, I also make sure that my dog gets all the exercise and play time he could ask for. I would do the same thing for your animals, I would make sure they are happy, and that they feel at home as most possible. I would treat them as if they were my own. I'm currently not work so I am available any time and any day of the week. I would prefer to have the weekends off but I can make exception. :) My two dogs at home I feed them every morning around 9 am and I let them out in the yard and play with them to let out there energy and from there I let them out every 2 hours. :)

About: I am 20, 21 in March. I’m interested in pet and childcare. I realized I’ve always been a caretaker and always make sure I’m doing above and beyond care. I am currently in school. I go to EVCC but only have classes on Tuesday in the evening. I am currently trying to finish up school so I can become a para educator or work at a daycare. For home care. I care for my animals by feeding them. Letting them out every 1-2 hours. Obviously the treats are super important! I care for a guinea pig by keeping him on a healthy scheduled feeding and I also care for a reptile with a regular feeding, cleaning and shed helping!

“I can’t say enough about the wonderful care Rose provided for my cats while I was on a 10 day vacation! She arrived promptly for the twice a day visit I requested. She dispensed ear meds for one of my cats for an ear infection and took time to play with them and gave updates about how they were eating and interacting with her. I have one cat that is fearful of anyone new, and after a few days, she was comfortable with Rose and played with a wand toy with her!! That was a huge step for this kitty!! She gave me peace of mind during my time away which was invaluable! I don’t travel much but rest assured, if she’s still a pet carer and is available, I will want her to care for my 4 cats in heartbeat!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cicero

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
