About: I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, crate routines, and keeping pets company. I’m especially patient with puppies and energetic pets, and I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to provide regular updates and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in school, so I have flexibility in my schedule for pet care, especially during the daytime, evenings, and weekends depending on my class schedule. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide consistent, reliable care rather than rushing through a visit. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, stay aware of my surroundings during walks, and never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I’ll maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I treat every home and pet with the same respect I would want for my own.
About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal caregiver with a background in care of a variety of species. I have done volunteer work with shelter animals, was the main animal care taker at a pet store for years and have done some veterinary technician schooling. I've worked hands-on with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and small mammals, and I'm confident handling everything from daily care routines to administering basic medications. I also have experience in plant care as I currently work in that field as well. With my experience and huge passion for animals, I can promise to treat your pet as I would my own. I'd love to connect and learn more about how I can support you and your pet! Personally, I share 3 dogs that I help take care of, one being disabled, I had a dog and cat myself as well until they passed away of old age. Currently, I also have a tortoise, tree frog, rats, a hamster and fish I can only care for pets in client’s homes where I will treat the pet as I would any of my own and respect all wishes of the client.
About: “I’ve worked with dogs at an animal shelter for about a year”. I love dogs with my heart. I can feed, walk and just spend time with your dogs. I’m currently working part time but I’m free to be there for you when needed after 2:30 from Monday-Friday and on weekends I’m free all day long. I have a fenced yard hat so dogs are able to run around the yard and still be safe while having fun. I love taking my dogs to the park.
“Holly is so great!! She responds quickly, is reliable, responsible and on time. She left my house immaculate and really bonded with my cat (who hates people) and my dog. Highly recommend!! 💫”
About: Hello there! After recently saying goodbye to our beloved senior Chihuahua, Moe, our home feels far too quiet without any furry friends. Starting this new chapter in pet care is very exciting, and I'm looking forward to giving your pet a safe and fun place to stay. I am the primary sitter but will be assisted by my girlfriend Sam who lives with me. Your dog will benefit from a multi-person home with plenty of attention and companionship. We have no pets or children so your furry friend will be the king or queen of the house! Whether your pet needs a quiet spot to lounge or energetic play sessions and walks, I am flexible to their personality. I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes for family & friends over the years. I pride myself in being attentive to your pet along with flexible and easy to work with. My goal is to make your pet feel completely at home while allowing you to relax during your travels! I am happy to provide as many updates you would like. My longtime girlfriend and I both work from home everyday! We have plenty of time to care for your pet. We can accommodate your pets schedule however needed. Our home is free roaming and pet friendly. Doggies are welcome in bed or on the couch if they desire. We also have a very large backyard and enjoy walks if that is your pets preference.
About: I have a special way of connecting with every dog I meet. I've rescued stray dogs from the streets in California since I was a young adult, and I’ve had dogs of my own since I was a little girl. I volunteered with Bully Rescue Fresno in California during college and worked there for a year. My love for dogs has always been part of who I am. A close friend and former Rover sitter encouraged me to sign up as a sitter on Rover. She believes I am good at caring for dogs, show them as much love as I did my own, and that I'm a fun person any dog could ask for. So here I am, and I want to gain experience caring for dogs. I'm a deaf mom of three girls and two dogs. I’ve been staying home since my third baby was born in August and working remotely. My work hours are very flexible, so I can take care of the dogs as much as I can while I’m home. I have fence yard, two adorable dogs, and three young children. We all love dogs and are friendly here. I can take care of dogs while doing errand at home since im staying home.
“Charlotte puppy sat for us this past weekend and did a great job! It was our first time leaving our two puppies and we are new to the area. However, I instantly felt I could trust Charlotte at the meet and greet and she sent lots of pictures to update us on how the pups are doing. She did a great job and spent a lot of time with our puppies which was so important to us! We would definitely recommend her!”
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! She actually spent time hanging out with my dogs when house sitting. Jennifer even came back over to check on dogs when flight got in late. I will use her again! Thank you!”
About: I have personally owned all kinds of pets. Ferrets, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and birds. I have a deep love for all fur babies. I prioritize their well being and enrichment I currently work full time with a flexible retail schedule. I am open to working early mornings and late nights. My current job shifts very from 10-6 or 1:30-9. So any hours outside of that i am available I am open to making sure animals are played with and cuddled as much as it may need. And taking out for bathroom breaks, and cleaned up after.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.
About: Hi! We’re a couple who genuinely love dogs. We’ve also spent plenty of time looking after our family members’ pets, so we know how much they become part of the family. We both work in healthcare, so we’re used to being patient, responsible, and paying attention to the little things. We know every dog has their own personality and routine, and we’ll do our best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. We’re excited to meet some new furry friends, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs, or just keeping them company. 🐶❤️ We both work full-time in a hospital, so our schedules vary, but we’re upfront about our availability and only accept bookings we can commit to. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, give them plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos while you’re away. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort come first! We live in a clean, cozy first-floor apartment with a safe and welcoming environment for pets. We’ll keep a close eye on your fur baby, follow their routine, and give them plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime. ❤️
“Melissa is excellent! She was the best at communication and sending photo updates. Melissa took really good care of our 1 year old yellow lab that is full of energy and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is a lifetime of dedicated, hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds—from cats, dogs, and birds to rabbits. My expertise spans every stage of a pet’s life, including raising energetic puppies and delivering compassionate end-of-life care for a terminally ill dog who needed to be hand-fed and wear diapers at just six years old. As an authentic animal lover with a deep well of specialized experience, I bring both the practical knowledge required for complex care routines and the genuine empathy every pet owner looks for. ♥️🐾 Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, serving as a primary focus alongside my other responsibilities while I am currently not working traditional hours. A major part of my days is dedicated to caring for my daughter's two German Shepherds, which keeps me active with regular feeding, exercise, and attentive supervision suited for large, high-energy breeds. Balancing this with part-time house cleaning and studying to earn my real estate license has taught me how to manage my time effectively, ensuring that every dog in my care receives consistent attention, structured routine, and dedicated affection throughout the week. When caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home, my top priority is maintaining their familiar routine to keep them feeling safe, happy, and stress-free. I adhere strictly to their usual feeding schedule, walking habits, and medication needs, while providing plenty of quality playtime and affection to keep them company. Beyond basic care, I keep a watchful eye on their health and behavior, ensure your home stays clean and secure, and send regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind while you are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crest Hill
Haily was awesome, she took great care of our dogs. She spent time with them in the basement during a tornado warning. My golden Is very afraid of storms and is not fun to be around during them but Haily took it in stride. She communicated with us while we were gone and sent pictures. Would definitely highly recommend her.
Alison was great to work with. We appreciated her flexibility with our schedule, was very responsive and sent pics of our fur baby. Everything was neat and in order when we got back home and Keke looked very happy. We will definitely use Alison for future bookings.
Anna was amazing! Great communication and we could tell by the daily provided photos that our dogs were having a great time! She went above and beyond, even handling an issue at our home for us while we were away! We will definitely book her again the next time we go away!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Crest Hill walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Crest Hill maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Crest Hill 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
