About: My family has always had pets in our home. From a young age I've been interested in the emotions and health of our furry friends. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups all evening! Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available all day but Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays I am available after 4:00 PM. Aside from daily walks, I will ensure they're eating a balanced meal based on a specific schedule as well as plenty of playtime to prevent boredom.
“Amanda watched our cat for the first while we were gone for the holiday she did such a wonderful job with her. She played with her and followed all the directions perfectly! Amanda was so kind to bring our mail in as well and offered to take our garbage cans. We appreciate her making us feel comfortable leaving her alone. We will definitely be using her service again!”
“Sophie was an excellent cat sitter. She checked in daily with photos and my April looked very happy. She followed up on any questions and communication was very professional. I would highly recommend her.”
“We had a great experience with Brandon. Very easy to communicate with, everything went as planned. Brandon is a reliable, seasoned caretaker with an obvious love for dogs. We will definitely hope to have Brandon take care of our dog again in the future!”
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.
“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 taken care of my family dog and cat for 13 years. We had a yorkie and bengal cat growing up and recently got a lab. My family cat had epilepsy and I helped administer a pill he takes twice a day. I am currently working full time and would love to spend my extra time watching your pet. I absolutely love dogs and cats and would have a great time caring for your furry friends! I will utilize all tools needed in caring for your pet. I will play with, feed, and care for your pet. During house visits, I will make sure all doors and windows are locked when leaving. I am currently working full time with some flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend my free time looking after your furry best friend! I enjoy playing and having fun. I will feed your pet, provide regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of time to get out their energy and run around.
“Jo’Ell is amazing with our puppy! First and foremost, she is always on time and always communicates with us about our puppy. She provides several photos and engages with our puppy. The best is that she brings over different toys and puzzles to help our puppy learn and stimulate their brain. I could not ask for a better person to help us with our dog. Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and truly treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve raised and trained my Akita Inu from puppyhood and lovingly cared for my Jack Russell through their senior years. I’m comfortable with puppies, energetic dogs, and seniors, and I focus on calm, patient care that helps dogs feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I’m free all day, every day. This allows me to give pets my full attention without rushing or juggling other commitments. I’m able to follow your dog’s normal routine closely, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, training reinforcement, or quiet companionship. Because my schedule is flexible, I can easily adjust to puppies who need more frequent care, senior dogs who move at a slower pace, or pets who simply enjoy company throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything familiar and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely, maintain your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention and reassurance. For dog walks in my neighborhood or yours, I use calm, confident handling and always prioritize safety. Walks are structured but enjoyable, tailored to your dog’s energy level, age, and comfort. I reinforce good leash manners, stay aware of surroundings, and make sure each walk is both stimulating and relaxing for your dog.
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, starting with my own family’s dogs and eventually helping care for pets around my neighborhood. My passion for animal care led me to earn a B.S. in Animal Science with a focus on Companion Animals from the University of Minnesota. During my time there, I held animal care positions at three different zoological institutions, including Brookfield Zoo. I’m excited for the opportunity to care for your pets and provide a safe, happy, and enriching experience, whether it’s during a walk or a home visit! I am currently working part-time so I look forward to playing with your pets! Right now I have more availability than usual and can handle several walks or check-ins during the day! I have a car and am able to drive to and from your home. I will follow all instructions when it comes to caring for your pets. You know what is best for your own furry friends. Every animal is special and some need more attentions than others. I look forward to getting to learn about your fur-baby’s quarks!

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.

“Cameron went above and beyond for our little Stewart. She always sent us lots of photos and we could tell he really enjoyed the attention while we were away. This was our first time using Rover and now we’re wondering why we didn’t use this service earlier. We will definitely be booking Cameron if/when we leave town again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clarendon Hills
Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.
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.
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.

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 Clarendon Hills 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.

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 .
