About: I’ve always loved animals and pets and have been taking care of them my entire life. I’ve had a few jobs where I was a doggy day care specialist and have worked as one for 3 years. I have a good sense of how dogs act when anxious nervous or even excited. My job included staying over night with dogs along with walking them and feeding them. I do work at restaurants in the afternoons during the week and weekends till 8. I have three days off a week in which I can daycare dogs and watch over them. Normally Tuesday and Wednesday. Walking is no big deal my availability is always open for walking I provide attentive, personalized care for pets both in my home and in clients’ homes. I make sure each pet stays on their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. In a client’s home, I also focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining a clean and respectful space. In my home, I create a safe, calm environment where pets get plenty of supervision, attention, and exercise. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and stress-free while their owners are away.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of different kinds of dogs since I was 10 years old. I trained both of the dogs I was gifted (Labrador/Boxer mix & Pitbull) as well as grooming them. They both mean very much to me and now that they are older and I no longer live in my old house it would be my pleasure to give care to someone else’s pet! I’m currently working part time so the vast majority of the week I’m available and own my own reliable source of transportation. Extremely flexible with my schedule and times. Very good at playing with dogs and other types of animals as well. Will do anything your dog likes and make sure they enjoy having me around!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life! I put my dog down a few years ago and now I’m feeling the itch to want to adopt another one. In the meantime I figured this is a great opportunity to still be around animals and be able to care for them as if they were my own before I look into adopting a new fur baby! I’m currently home a lot and work a few nights a week at a comedy club so I have plenty of time to play and spend quality time with your pet. I don’t have a fenced yard but I have a huge back yard so there’s plenty of space for them to run around on a leash! I also love going on walks so they’ll get plenty of exercise.

About: I had my own dog when I was younger, but it was more of the family dog that would just walk and feed every now and then. I now have a personal dog that I do everything for and I love her with my whole heart. I care for her daily and she is happy as can be. I currently am working Mon through Fri from 7am to 3 pm. So I am able to do drop ins or pet sitting after those hours. I was raised to be very clean and respectful of others properties. I wouldnt leave anything the way i had not found it if I was invited in to care for your dog. I really respect animals and care for their health and happiness.

About: I've taken care of and had dogs ever since I was 8 years old. I recently relocated to Chicago and lost my dog a little over a year ago at age 12 to natural causes. I'm very active into sports and take many walks daily. Throughout the year I like to foster dogs to help rescues with adoptions. I like to do a morning long walk 20 minutes or more before I go to work. Depending on what is needed for pet care, I have a pretty flexible schedule to do more than one potty break. After work I also like to do another evening walk if time allows and just to settle down for the night. I have a friendly dog community and do not mind walking multiple times to expend energy. The house is also very spacious for relaxation. If you allow furniture sleeping so do I. I'm flexible to what my clients would want from my in home stays. If I come to your house, naturally I would follow guidelines that your pet is typically used to.

About: I've had pets all my life (cats, dogs, fish, even a frog!) and did animal rescue for several years in Arizona- helping at adoption events, home visits, fostering kitties, a mama cat with 5 babies, & about a dozen dogs/puppies. I moved back to IL and am raising my 2 children and working from home. We have even rented baby chicks to help a local farm, so my kids understand pet care too. I truly understand how hard it is to find good, comforting help with pets and been there myself. I love all animals and currently have a senior female dog at home. I have proven to be a reliable helper to friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers. I've been able to save loose dogs and reunite them because of my calm demeanor with animals. I always love to give a hand to others and understand pets are family. I currently work remotely from home and have some flexibility during the day after 8AM while working and often done with work by 4PM, some days earlier. I have some kid activities on weekends, but generally home and my dog here is very laid back, sweet, and tolerates the young pups even and still loves to outrun them even lol. I have availability most on weekends for walks, but can try to arrange things time to time. I can squeeze in let outs when not in meetings with clients. I would let you know if time doesn't permit before accepting. My yard is fenced in completely and my senior dog is very nice and will help keep them feeling comfortable. I have extra crates if needed, depending upon the service needed. I am happy to drive a reasonable distance to help with yours. If overnight at your home, please note I'd need my kids to come with me when they are out of elementary school, but they are very respectful and well behaved animal lovers too. I understand pets are family and safety is important to me too.

About: Hi Dog lovers! My name is Abigail and dogs have been a part of my life since I can remember. Growing up I was responsible for walking, feeding and pouring attention into our two German shorthaired pointer dogs. When my neighbors would go on vacation they would ask me to watch their four dogs and I also became the 'go to' person when their dogs would get loose in the neighborhood. Fortunately, that never happened on my watch! My current dog is a high energy Pitbull Lab mix, who thinks he is a lap dog. :) Most of the dogs I have worked with have been in the 50-60 pound range but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Is your dog older? No problem, I can sit and give them lots of love or take them on a gentle walk. Is your dog high energy? Again, no problem, I have one of those of my own and I can play fetch or tug-a-war with them! I have no problem administering medicine if needed too. During the school year I work in a high school and coach swimming so my availability is from 3:30pm - 6:00pm, and anytime on the weekends. During the summer my schedule is much more flexible during the week and weekends. I consider myself a dog magnet because any time I encounter a dog, even for the first time, they like to jump on me or wiggle their butts, seeking my attention! Providing walks, belly rubs, and playing fetch are my jam. Dogs mean the world to me and I would love the opportunity to shower your fur babies with attention. During the school year, I am available 3:30pm - 6:00pm and weekends. During the summer (June & July) I have flexibility in my schedule every day. I am comfortable taking dogs to the park, walking them or playing with them indoor home/yard. If it is a high energy dog, I can also take them for a run.

About: I’ve always had a dog in my life to take care of. I have worked as a dog handler at a doggy day care center monitoring up to forty dogs at a time. I have been exclusively walking and watching dogs for over 2 years now. I currently have small client list building and am always looking for more experience. I walk a few dogs weekly and there’s always room for more. Every dog is different and every dog has different needs and this is a chance to learn how to communicate better. I follow the instructions of the parent. I do not have a yard but I live near a forest preserve built for dog walking and plan on using it when I take dogs for walks.

About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - East Dundee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 7,416 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Dundee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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 East Dundee 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 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.

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 East Dundee with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Dundee. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
