Zach did a fantastic job! I booked him to clean out for very dirty litter boxes and replace them with fresh letter. I was very impressed with his ability to get right to the work at hand, get the job done, and leave everything looking great. He was so fast, he had time to tackle one of two of the cats water fountains, which were also overdue for cleaning and refilling. My kitties will love that their favorite fountain is working again. Next time, he’ll tackle the other fountain and I have no doubt that that will be done efficiently as well. Thank you, Zach! Nice to meet you, and you’ll be number one on my call

About: I have felt a calling towards dogs for quite some time now. I have a few dog friends, and feel a very deep, genuine, and pure connection with them. I hope that it's the same with your beloved furry friend, and I'm confident that it will be. Please allow me to respond to your booking request before sending your request to multiple parties.. This is appreciated! My schedule really is pretty packed right now, but mid-afternoons are pretty open most days.. I will take new clients if I am able to find a time slot for you, though! For now, I'd like to keep care either in your home, or outdoors. I will treat your home like it is my own. Thank you!

My cat really enjoyed her visits. She always came on time, so I never needed to worry about that. My cat continues to be in good spirits after her visit.

About: I have taken care of animals for it seems like my whole life. I have experience administering medication both orally and through syringes and love to spoil dogs when walks and cuddles. I work for a school district so I my school day runs from 7:30-2:30, so no pet would be alone for long. I can do weekdays and weekends. I have experience going into someone’s home and watching their animals from there. I find it’s easier for on them when they are in their own home environment. I follow your routine and instructions and will let you know if I have any questions or anything comes up.

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 have about one year of hands-on pet ownership experience and have been around animals my entire life. I’ve helped train and care for dogs, including Collies and Hounds, with experience in basic obedience, leash walking, crate training, and puppy training. I enjoy walking dogs and providing enrichment to support their physical and mental well-being. I also love bathing dogs too! I have experience with a range of dog personalities, including puppies, senior dogs, and those with special needs, such as medication schedules or mobility considerations. I’m adaptable, patient, and willing to adjust my care style to fit each dog’s individual needs. I try and build my routine that balances and fits my dog and me! This includes daily walks, 10 minute sessions of training, playtime, and decompression time. I also give snuggle and cuddle time, but only if the dog I work with initiates. I also love giving my dog a well balanced diet and hydration especially in this hot weather. I also believe that a dogs world is as big as we allow, and so I love bringing dogs to new adventures, like hiking or a day at the beach. I try to include these at least weekly or bi-weekly. I also love having doggie play dates, and have some minor experience with dogs meeting for the first time! I currently live in an apartment, so I only service for home visits and walking right now. I’m familiar with fenced or semi fenced yards and crating. I have my own dog that I love taking out for walks and training, so if you don’t have a yard that isn’t an issue! I work great when I’m giving instructions in writing or verbal that best helps your doggie!

About: I love animals. I used to have three Shar Peis, which can be fairly temperamental, but I think I was their favorite walker. I've walked dogs with Wag for years and have cared for dogs ranging from tiny pups to large Anatolian Shepherds. I work from home most days, so having a dog or two in the house is not an issue. And, i don't mind sitting at other folks' homes, if the dogs are more comfortable in their own environment. I've recently fenced our backyard with a 6 foot privacy fence, so that visiting dogs will be secure during off-leash play. I live in a quiet neighborhood and there is a large park down the street, so walks can be quite lengthy, if the dog is up for it. I have a few chickens in a coop / run in the backyard. The app asks about my pets but then when I said ‘yes’ only allowed me to pick either ‘dog’ or ‘cat’ - and I couldn’t list birds so I couldn’t update it. 😕. Apparently Rover thinks there are only two kinds of animals??? Visits to the backyard are always supervised to keep everyone safe.

About: Been dog sitting for five years for daytime and overnight care. Available for walking, playtime, or just companionship for any size dog who needs some love 💗 I do currently have a part-time job Monday through Friday but am looking to walk dogs in the mornings and weekdays except on Wednesdays and can sit and do visits anytime on the weekends. I live in a very walkable and dog friendly area where your pets will always get the attention and time they need from me while also being safe and accepted.

About: I started and successfully managed my own dog walking business at the age of 15, serving clients throughout my local neighborhood. Over time, I built a loyal client base of more than 20 regular customers and provided a range of services, including dog walking, drop-in visits, and occasional bathing. This experience helped me develop strong time management skills, reliability, and a deep understanding of pet care. I currently have full availability and am eager to meet new dogs while continuing to provide dependable, high-quality care. As a welcome offer, new clients will receive $20 off their first booking with me. I am also happy to assist with basic dog training upon request, reinforcing positive behaviors during visits. While I do not have a yard available, I focus on providing attentive, active care through structured walks and drop-in visits to ensure each dog receives proper exercise, stimulation, and attention. In addition to dogs, I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of reptiles and exotic pets. I understand their unique environmental needs, including maintaining proper temperature gradients, humidity levels, and lighting. I have worked with species such as snakes, lizards, and other small exotics, ensuring their enclosures are clean, safe, and enriching. I am also knowledgeable about specialized diets, including live feeding, supplementation, and species-specific nutrition. I carefully monitor animal behavior and can recognize early signs of stress or illness. My approach emphasizes patience, consistency, and minimizing stress during handling and daily care routines. I am comfortable following detailed instructions and adapting to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Overall, I am committed to providing attentive, responsible, and knowledgeable care for all animals. I currently have unlimited availability and am here to meet all the new pups and help deliver exceptional service and dog training services if requested by owner. Upon arrival at a client’s home, if a backyard is available, I conduct a thorough perimeter check to ensure there are no gaps in the fence and that all gates are securely closed before allowing dogs outside. I follow each pet’s established feeding schedule and ensure fresh water is provided and replenished regularly. For overnight stays, I provide attentive in-home care to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort. If a walk requested during the booking exceeds 15 minutes an additional booking fee will apply for walks ranging from 30 to 60 minutes.  If your pet requires medication, please inform me in advance so I can ensure it is administered safely and according to your instructions.

About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog and have had positive experiences with many other dogs. I’m particularly skilled at comforting dogs and can sense when they need a good belly rub. I'm available during the summer. I currently work a part-time job already but on my days off I would love to walk dogs for fun. I'm very understanding, and I also listen to instructions and learn very fast. I always want to make the animal feel seen and loved.

Evelyn was such a pleasure to meet! My dogs (and even my cat!) quickly took to her. She was gracious enough to search around for any potty accidents when my new puppy escaped from her gated area. My dogs were worn out from all the playing they did. Thank you so much Evelyn!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - East Dundee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 7,901 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across East Dundee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 East Dundee 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 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 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 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:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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.
