About: Hi! I'm Jewel, a dedicated animal lover who truly enjoys caring for pets of all kinds. I love both cats and dogs-friendly, playful cats and all dog breeds are welcome! Animals naturally gravitate toward me, and I take pride in making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have hands-on experience with many types of dogs, including reactive, friendly, and senior dogs. I've owned Chihuahuas, a Blue Heeler named Ava, and I currently have my own puppy, Romeo. My experience has helped me understand different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, in-home sitting, and overnight stays. For social dogs, I can also bring my puppy along for companionship-with your approval. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are always my top priority. I genuinely love what I do, and I treat every pet like family. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently working full-time from the comfort of my home, giving me maximum flexibility all days of the week and weekends to care for your pets. Sometimes I may just need to bring my computer or iPad along with me to stay on top of work. I have wide open availability ! Safety is my absolute number one priority! I hold a professional security license, as well as official certifications in pet CPR and First Aid, so you can rest assured that your beloved pets are in highly trained, capable hands. For in-home visits, I love working directly from your environment because it keeps your animals comfortable, stress-free, and in their familiar routine. I always treat your home with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness while keeping your furry family members perfectly safe and sound
“As always, Lenin was punctual and communicative. He arrived on time to feed our kitties, and they looked happy and well take care of when we returned home. Highly recommend Lenin and we will continue to rebook with him!!”
“Marcela did a wonderful job walking Beau and following instructions as he's still a puppy and training to walk. There is another puppy she walks in the apartment, but although we offered that she could walk Beau together with that puppy, she stated that she preferred to give each dog individual attention, which we were surpised by and appreciated. She took a lot of photos and videos, and we'd gladly ask Marcela to walk Beau again!”
About: I graduated from college with a Bachelors degree majoring in animal science with a concentration in canine care. Which includes behavior, aggression, handling, and training. I have worked with dogs before. I am great with with many different types of dogs and I love to interact with them. I care greatly for the whatever dog that is in my care. I am available mostly on the weekend. I have open availability during the week if given a few days in advance. I love to play and have fun with dogs. I have also have some experience with grooming, walking, caring uses and training dogs and kennel work. I have flexible hours and I am good at understanding what the owner and their dog wants and needs. I like to take care of different kinds of breeds of dogs. I spend most of my time taking care of my dogs who are a handful but gives me so much joy in life. I am currently just doing temporary work so I am mostly at home and able to take care of pets in-between taking care of my own dog. I live in an apartment so I will often my dog and a clients dogs to the dog park if the client allows it. If I am at the client's home then I will abide by the rules that the client sets for their pet.
“Charlie has been amazing with my dog Oliver. He walks him during the day and is always reliable, attentive, and caring. I can tell Oliver genuinely enjoys his time with him, which gives me peace of mind while I’m busy. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Charlie makes it effortless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and kind dog walker.”
“Jamile was wonderful to work with and she went above and beyond in taking care of our cats! She was highly communicative, shared detailed updates and photos, and the cats got along really well with her, despite them usually being distant towards new people. I felt comforted that she was taking care of them while we were out of town. Highly recommend her services and we’ll definitely be working with her again in the future.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, and patience. I treat any pet like if they were my own dog. I’m currently working part time so I am available Fridays, Sundays and Mondays the whole day so it gives me time to have some fun time with your pups/ cats! On Tuesday and Thursday’s I am available after 3pm. On a daily basis, I plan around pets’ routines to make sure they are fed on time, taken on walks, and given plenty of playtime and affection. I also make sure to check in on them regularly, keep their space clean, and monitor their behavior to ensure they are happy and comfortable. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while maintaining their usual routine as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure the pet stays in their familiar environment and receives lots of attention, affection, and exercise. I keep their space clean, making sure that they are fed on time, take them on walks or provide playtime depending on their energy level, and monitor their behavior to make sure they are feeling well. I also like providing regular updates, photos, and messages so owners feel reassured while they are away. Now in my home, I create a calm and pet-friendly environment where they have space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I make sure they get plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection.
About: I’ve lived and cared for animals for most of my life. I had a Yorkie named Ben who was gifted to me by a family member in 2012. He was my little shadows for nine wonderful years until he sadly passed away from heart failure in 2021. I also had a ginger cat named Suco, a fiesty but loving outdoor kitty who brought so much joy and personality to my home. He live a long and happy life until he passed away from old age in 2024. Through caring for my childhood pets they taught me so much like how to patient, attentive and nurturing with pets of different personalities and needs. I’m pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling, I’m a part time student who attends class twice a week. But the rest of the week I’m available. I care for my pets as if they were family members and I like to focus on making them feel safe and comfortable first. It takes time getting to know each pets personality and routines.
“If I could give Xiaoying 6 stars out of 5 I would!! She met me same day for a meet and greet which was so helpful as I unexpectedly had to fly out for a family emergency. My cat is recovering from a medical condition and Xiaoying provided dozens of pictures and even brought a cat safe chicken soup for my cat since she wasn't eating. Medication instructions were followed and I had no worries knowing Xiaoying was watching my cat!”
“I had a great experience with the nail trim service. She was incredibly responsible, professional, and patient throughout the entire visit. She handled everything with care and made sure my dog was comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated her attention to detail and reliability. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled pet caregiver!”

About: My family was handed a neglected 1 year old Schnauzer-Westie mix and then a year later found a 7 month old chihuahua. I’ve been taking care of them for over 14 years (and other family dogs occasionally) and have really grown to love meeting new dogs and their personalities. I also still teach my senior (15 years old) dog new tricks and I’m ready to try them on your dogs (if that’s okay, of course). I’m currently working full time in a school, so I will only have real flexibility during the weekends for walks throughout the day. Monday-Friday, I would available after 6pm for walks. I like going to a gated dog play areas to have a safe space to play and run around. If it’s okay, I like to do tricks with dogs using treats, so please let me know about any dietary restrictions for your pup!
“Bianca was outstanding! I had a last minute need for someone to care for my very nervous, older, diabetic dog. We had little time to introduce her to him in advance, but she made it work. She was very patient with him and took the time to make sure he became comfortable with her. She managed to quickly gain his trust and had no issues giving him his insulin injections. She followed instructions very well and I did not worry at all about leaving him with her. I was confident that she would take care of his needs.”
About: Hi there! I grew up in Istanbul which many of you would know, is a cat heaven! I love animals because they are honest, pure with their expression of love and appreciation. They live the day as if there is no tomorrow, which personally is something I can look up to. All my life I have been surrounded by multiple pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, snails... now I have two cats, whom I get sad whenever I am away from. I understand how important and emotional it is to find a good sitter when we cannot be around, someone to take care of them as if their own. In your absence I will be a mama, play date, caregiver, and a reliable friend to your little babies. I am a very patient person with compassion, have trained eyes for detail, and endless love for animals. I have been taking care of my partner's family dogs and mini horses whenever they go out of town for the past five years, alongside with my brother's four pawed clients in the last couple years. I'm an aspiring artist working from home, have plenty of time to share my love and care, on most days. I can board couple bonded cats, just as I foster sometimes for a limited time. I live in a two bedroom apartment with two cats, and able to keep the cats separated for the time of boarding. Just as how I introduced my cats slowly, very slowly, I am well aware that it is never a good idea to put them together all of a sudden. One of my cats never met a dog before, so I would not board any dogs at this time. I care for pets as my own, keeping them safe, clean, well-fed and watered, and well played. I believe we owe them at least that much keeping them in our homes.
“Judy was great! Very easy and pleasant communication, did the job and then some. My dog was very happy to see her. I will definitely ask Judy to help me again when I need someone.”
About: I’m a responsible babysitter and dog sitter. I’ve taken care of young pups and senior dogs. I understand dog body language well enough to assess situations when needed. I love a challenge and that means multiple dogs, larger dogs, and I could dog sit for hours. I follow instructions and I’m open to extra services before sun down. Although I’m new, you should not underestimate my experience. You can rely on me to be your dog’s new companion, I’m very flexible and adaptable. I love taking photos so you would not regret a photoshoot! I encourage pet owners to ask about any concerns or requests. I work part time helping animals! Feel free to ask me about that, but my scheduling is always changing so don’t be afraid to reach out to see if we can work around it! I don’t have a yard but the apartment is open except the main bedroom. There’s also a dog park nearby so we can have some safe outside play time!
“Katherine is a true animal lover- she was so attentive and thoughtful with how she handled our elderly cat and she gave our cat pills with no problem. Very thorough updates via text. Could not recommend her more highly!”
About: I love all kinds of animals and my friends and neighbors regularly rely on me to take care of their pets. I have 20+ years of experience being a go to sitter for everyone I know! I have a flexible schedule and am available any time! I am happy to help any time of day, including odd hours such as very early or late! I follow any instructions provided by the client closely and make sure to keep all spaces clean and safe for the pet. I am always respectful of other peoples spaces!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Elmhurst
Eliza did an amazing job with my senior kitty. She stayed in communication with me throughout the booking, sent daily photos/videos and was very responsive. She administered medications, followed instructions and kept the place very clean. I would 100% book again and recommend her to anyone looking for a someone safe to keep your little friends company when you’re unable to be at home. A+ job!
Kiana was fantastic with my dogs! She was super flexible on short notice, set up a meet and greet right away, and asked all the right questions. One of my pups is a senior who requires several medications twice a day, and she handled his care seamlessly. She is trustworthy, kind, and took wonderful care of my dogs. Her communication was great throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!
Bianca was amazing! It was our first time booking with her and everything went seamlessly. Our cat who typically always hides from pet sitters actually came out and got a few pets which really put my mind at ease while we were away. Bianca clearly really cares and was attentive to all of my senior kitty’s needs. I hope to be able to book with her again in the future!
Katie was wonderful and communicative as always! She's great with the cats and always sends great pictures and updates. She kept me update on out-of-the-ordinary things going on in the neighborhood which I really appreciated. She's always so reliable and i feel so much better leaving my cats with her. Thank you as always!

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 Elmhurst 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
