“Allison did a great job with our Murph! She was very communicative, shared photos, and played with our pup while we were away. She also FaceTimed in advance, which we appreciated since this was our first time using Rover. Would book again :)”
“Ann watched our two cats while we were out of town. She was on-time and provided updates letting us know our cats were doing well. Looking forward to using Ann in the future!”
About: I’ve had a dog for most of my life, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs and understanding their needs. I’ve also dog sat for family and friends several times, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them lots of attention. I’m dependable, active, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so you can feel confident your pet will be well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m looking for recurring dog walking or pet care opportunities for a few hours at a time, but I’m also happy to help with one-time visits when my schedule allows. I’m reliable, punctual, and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and your scheduling needs. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding them, refilling water, administering simple care, or just spending quality time playing and giving them attention, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and comfortable while you’re away.
“Stephanie was amazing to Kiko and Mika! They warmed up to her fairly quick as they usually hide from strangers. Will definitely hit up Stephanie again when traveling! Thank you so much!”
“Jessica has taken care of my furry angel on numerous occasions. Each time, I am completely satisfied and grateful of her consistency and attention to detail, and great communication. She is definitely my go-to sitter for my pet sitting needs”
About: My natural patience and lifelong love for dogs allow me to quickly build a bond of trust with any pet I watch. I’m not just there to provide snuggles and food and walks; I’m there to give them genuine companionship and ensure they feel secure and cherished in our home. I work from home and spend most days at home working. I love having a "desk buddy" and a dog walk is a great way to break up the day, Your pup will have constant supervision! I have a large yard that is fenced in. I love to take frequent walks to burn off that excess energy. I have multiple dog beds, cozy blankets, and plenty of toys!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs, including two Mastiffs and one Maltese. Caring for dogs with such different sizes, personalities, and needs has taught me how to adapt to each pet’s unique routine and temperament. From daily walks, feeding, grooming, playtime, and basic training to providing lots of love and attention, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for pets. Friends and family have also trusted me to watch their pets, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own. As a nursing student with a strict schedule, I plan my time carefully to ensure pets receive the attention and care they deserve. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, feeding, or companionship, I will make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. As the owner of two Mastiffs and a Maltese, I am comfortable handling both large and small breeds. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, monitoring behavior, and creating a safe environment for every pet. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and special needs. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away.
“Melanie is fantastic!! We are so grateful to have found her. One of our pups is on complex medications at the moment, which she handled with ease. She gave us thorough updates & gave our pups all the play time and love! We cannot wait to work with Melanie again!”
“Sophie did a wonderful job caring for our two cats! She was thorough and asked questions when necessary. She tried to engage both of our cats each day, which we appreciated. She even gave us a gift to come home to, which was really sweet!”
About: I've owned and taken care of all kinds of animals since I was a little girl. From birds, to cats and dogs, to horses, and even snakes, big or small I love em all! I'm a travel bartender that works different music festivals all across the country. Now that season has come to a close, I couldn't think of a better way to fill my newly empty schedule than caring for your furry loved ones! I have one cat and one dog who is kennel trained. I walk my dog a minimum of twice a day in my quaint suburban neighborhood and my cat is very good with other animals.
“Grace did an amazing job watching my two dogs. We’ve already had her watch them twice. She kept me updated the entire time on how they were doing. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need someone to take great care of my boys.”
About: I have pet sit for over 10 years. I can stay in your home or make frequent visits throughout the day. I love going on walks, playing with the dog, and being their best friend! I will send picture updates throughout the day. I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have had long term clients for years now who keep coming back. I currently have a full time job working in a school but am off during the summer time which gives me more availability to hangout with your pups! I am able to watch pets in their own home or make multiple visits throughout the day, whichever the owner is more comfortable with. I am able to spend the night as well. I send daily pictures to the owner with updates as well throughout the days I am watching the dog.
About: My family has had two dogs for the last 9 years. I have experience dog sitting for all sorts of dog breeds and ages. I have some experience watching more elderly low maintenance cats. Experienced with anxious dogs, older dogs, and dogs requiring additional attention whether through ensuring they receive their medications, watching out for injuries, etc. I have free time after work and on the weekends. I can pop over after 4:30 on weeknights, spend the night, or spend the weekend if you can’t take your pooches with when you’re out of town! I treat your pets like I would my own. I’m good for a snuggle, couch time, fetch in the backyard, walks, whatever your pet needs! I follow any special instructions you leave and spend as much time as you’d like me to with your animals.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I've been able to drive, along with owning dogs all my life! I enjoy taking them on walks, playing with them and comforting them when their owners are away! I also volunteer at the Weat Suburban Humane Society! I'm pretty flexible with hours, Mondays and Tuesdays are the only days of the week that I can't walk dogs during the day, however late afternoon still works! I have extra leashes, harnesses and creates if needed, but will treat anything with respect and care as if it were mine own. I'm flexible to a range of schedules and dog personalities
“Elena went over and beyond when taking care of Poncho. She sent many pictures and filled me in the whole time. I would highly recommend her to watch anyone’s dog and will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have volunteered at Animal Protective League for nearly 12 years. I am a lover of all animals big and small. Several family members have relied on me to care for their dogs and other pets during that time. Most of my experience is centered around cats as I foster kittens for my local animal shelter, but I did grow up with several dogs. I may not have a dog now, but I will do my best to care for each and every fur-baby that I meet. I am partially employed to a small business that gives me work opportunities when they need extra help. Unfortunately those opportunities are mostly seasonal so I won't receive any work until spring (if COVID doesn't get any worse). They do let me know if they need me several weeks in advance, and my open schedule can be adjusted accordingly if I am given a regulated schedule by someone who wants me to regularly walk/check in with their pet during the day. I have experience house-sitting and caring for my employer's animals. I make a daily schedule for my duties and keep in touch with my employer's in case that schedule changes or if I have any questions/comments about

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clarendon Hills
We hate to leave our Percy home when traveling, but Jayme took such great care of him. This was our first experience on Rover and I hope all caregivers are as kind and professional as Jayme! She guided us through the Rover process and, most importantly, made a real connection with our pup. Great communication and sent lots of pictures.
I had a great experience. Sam was able to help out on short notice over a busy holiday weekend which I appreciated. She made sure Tucker had plenty of outside time, played with him and gave him treats. I loved getting updates and pictures of her visits. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will book with her again.
John is the best pet sitter we have had for Maxx. He is reliable, honest, friendly and great communicator. We could not have found a best sitter for drop in visits when we both have to go to work. He responds very promptly about inquiries and … our dog Maxx loves him already!
Evan – A Truly Exceptional Pet Sitter Evan is the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with. I’ve had many pet sitters and boarding places. She’s been the best & feel the safest leaving my fur babies in her care! Her type of attentiveness and care is rare. She’s taken care of my elderly dog who had medical issues and cat twice now while I was away on vacation, and every time they see her, they get excited. They don’t trust just anyone and neither do I but Evan has earned that trust completely. My dog has a history of abuse and he trusts her completely because she is so gentle with him. Every visit is thoughtful and thorough. She sends multiple pictures and detailed updates about everything: meals, water breaks, potty time, and cuddles. I always looked forward reading the drop-ins. She’s always early, stays the full time, and brings a warm, friendly energy that both pets and me. Before initially hiring her, I virtually interviewed three other Pet Sitter’s and I felt like she was the best out of all of them in the area. I’m thankful I found her. Evan is kind, and reliable! She’s helped with clean up with my cat, when my dog had missed his puppy pad, and did trash removal. I feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care, and I’ll absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend Evan to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy pets! I do admit I have high standards and she naturally meets them.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
