“Yailyn did a fantastic job of taking care of my shy kitty! She gave her a pill daily too and was warm and kind which helped my cat warm up to her quickly! Will absolutely be reaching out to Yailyn in the future!!”
“Anna was just wonderful! She came for drop-in visits and looked after my dog and cat while we were gone for 8 days. I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”
About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor
“Absolutely phenomenal pet sitter. Danielle was fantastic with both cats and very communicative. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone out there!”
“Came home to happy and well-adjusted pets. Logan did a great job socializing with our dogs and very shy cat. Loved the photos she sent us each visit. We could see that they were enjoying their visits from Logan. She was perfect for our quick trip away to move our son off to college.”
About: My family has had dogs since I was 5 years old - ranging from weimareners to toy poodles! I love pets and have extensive experience walking, feeding, bathing my own and friends/families pets. I am home for the summer from college and in the process of finding my first full time marketing role. Besides a few calls a day, I have time to care for your pet wether that means walking, feeding, bathing, or just watching them! I will not be housing dogs in my own home. I promise to keep your home clean and keep everything in its place when I am walking your dog!
“Jennifer was wonderful with the cats and to work with. She kept us well informed, cared for the cats, and was a pleasure to work with. We will absolutely use her, again.”
About: I have experience with walking and feeding your dog in a caring manner. Having a local partner to help you when needed, I am dependable and can be available on short notice. I am recently retired and am available for all your pet needs, including taking your pet to the vet and park if requested. Helping others is my passion. Pets are our companions in our lives, understanding that their needs and the needs of the owner are very important. You can count on me being there when needed
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. They have always been an important and integrated part of my family. We enjoy spending time at home but also taking long walks in the neighborhood or forest preserve. I integrate dog walks in my daily exercise routine, but also spend quality time at home to ensure they have company and love in the home environment. I have a fenced in yard and would let them have free rein of my house if the owner chooses. If I’m sitting in your home, I’d respect the routine and rules you have already established with your dog. I will keep in close contact with you while you are away and provide pictures and updates on how your family member is doing. There will be endless cuddles and love.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I enjoy helping walk, groom and play with them so they can relax and nap by the fireplace. I have trained puppies and also have had senior dogs too as well as meds admin also. I work from home so dogs are vital to me and they make me feel so happy. I love them and they love me so it is a win win. It is nice to be popular too with my K9s as they enjoy my big fenced in yard too which we love to run around in and play all day. I follow directions given to me and listen to the owners as they know their baby best. Other than that I give the dogs all my love and attention.
“Because of Sarah’s kind demeanor and professionalism, my trip out of town was much more relaxing. I was a little nervous about my dogs and cat not knowing the person who was going to be taking care of them, but Sarah eased that worry by scheduling a meet a greet prior to my leaving town. She made the process so easy and my animals automatically knew she was a friend. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Christina is so good with our kitties! It helps lessen the guilt of leaving them when she is there. She has a way with them, and getting our shy ones to come out of hiding 💕”
About: I just graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Science. I have grown up with pets and taken care of them for years! I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish! I have a lot of experience taking care of animals as I’ve interned at a zoo and volunteered at shelters and vet clinics. I’m very comfortable giving medications to pets as I’ve had a lot of practice with this with my own pets and while sitting! I am currently on summer break so I should be available all day unless I have it blocked off on my calendar! I plan to travel around the end of summer and move out of Illinois in the fall. My house has one kitten, and my backyard is not fenced in. I’d love to take care of your pet in either your home or mine, whichever is easiest!
About: I have been caring for large and small dogs (old and young) for the last 10 years. I am very adaptable and recognize the importance of individualized care. I am a wedding florist that mostly works from home, so I can be very flexible with visits and ensure that your loved one gets the attention they need! Keeping your pet safe and happy is my number one priority! I always ask owners if there are potential hazards in the home or medical conditions I should be aware of. I also promote climate safety during walks to make sure your pet is comfortable even in the extreme elements.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Deerfield
Chloe was wonderful! Our pup Moose has congestive heart failure and we were concerned about finding someone willing to care for her at this stage of life. Chloe was compassionate, professional, communicative, and willing to work with Moose's needs. Her impressive background gave us a lot of confidence in choosing her for drop-in visits. We'll absolutely book with her again and recommend Chloe to anyone with a senior dog taking meds!
I’ve been using Amy for a month now to let my dogs out midday. Not only does she keep an eye out on odd behavior from any of them, she’s even picked up how much one of my dogs loves alone time and gives her that extra attention. It is much appreciated knowing my dogs are being cared for each on an individual basis!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Deerfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Deerfield 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 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.
To find sitters in Deerfield 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
