“Liz did a great job for my two cats! Although they are initially a little wary or guarded with new people, they both were receptive to Liz; she even got my most wary cat to warm up enough for pets (practically unheard of with past strangers). She followed my extensive instructions thoroughly, and alerted me to anything that may have been "off" during her visits. My picky eaters chose not to eat most of their pate wet food from one of their meals- Liz sent me a picture and asked if this was typical behavior (and yes, par-for-the-course for them). I felt reassured that she was observing higher-level things, in addition to accomplishing the checklist for each visit. Liz even took care of my crested gecko, which is beyond her typical pervue. It was a great relief that I had care for all of my animals in one person. Liz was great to work with: communicative, detail-oriented, and an animal whisperer. I will definitely book her again for my next trip! Thank you for all of your help, Liz!”

“Mariela was amazing! She dropped by to take care of our dog Kobe and did a fantastic job. She was reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs and Kobe absolutely loved her. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter. 🐾”

“Maricela did drop in visits for us while we were on a cruise. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was super responsive to messages and always checking in. I have such a hard time leaving our pets for vacation but she made that part of the trip so easy for us. I would refer her to anyone who needed pet sitting services. I can’t thank her enough.”

“I returned from my trip to find a happy and healthy Teddy! Natalie took such good care of him and she just knew what to do with my anxious 8 year old puppy! Natalie went above and beyond and knew when he needed more attention and gave it to him. She kept me informed and eased my mind about leaving him. I will never kennel him again! I have already booked Natalie for my next trip. If I could give her 10 stars I would!”

I will follow any schedule/routine provided for peace of mind and have my cell phone readily available for any updates.

“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”

About: I grew up on a small dairy farm in Wisconsin taking care of cows, pigs, cats, dogs, and a brother. I also ran sleep away summer camps for ten years. I am excited to help you and your fur baby! I am full time work-from-home. As long as there is an internet connection I can do my work and watch and take care of your fur babies. I am willing to help with all aspects of pet care-walking, feeding, grooming, bathing, brushing teeth, etc. All I need are clear instructions and/or schedule along with any signs your pet is trying to communicate and I am good to go.

Our dog loves Cathy and it’s been going really well when Cathy comes to let her out at lunchtime. I would definitely recommend Cathy to care for your pet! She has a lab of her own and a lot of experience.”

“Theresa, came on her own time for a meet-and-great with our puppies. Spend some time introducing herself to them and then was willing to handle any requested task for the puppies while we were out of the house: potty, feed, etc. On her first visit she provided details of what happened: how many poops, pees, who ate, and even a couple of pictures. Thus far, a great experience!”

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

About: I may be newer to professional pet sitting, but I am very responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I take time to follow instructions closely, respect routines, and give each pet the attention they need. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care that builds trust with both pets and their owners. I work almost full-time on weekdays, but I make time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to ensure pets get reliable, consistent, and loving care. I care for pets in their own home by following routines closely and making safety my top priority. I ensure dogs are fed, walked, and given attention according to instructions, while keeping them calm, comfortable, and secure. I always respect the client’s home and aim to build trust through reliable, attentive care.

About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.

She gives them plenty of attention and makes sure they’re happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found her and would highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

To put it simply Warda is amazing! She comes prepared when you do a meet and greet with her, prior to an official booking. She has a checklist of questions and gives you knowledge, since she is a cat mom herself. When she is taking care of your fur baby, she updates you with every visit and sends pictures, videos, and a very thorough summary of what happened during her visit. She offers to tidy up the house before you come back from your break as well. She is very observant (for example she got my cat Milo a water dispenser since she noticed I didn’t have one). Overall she is a very thoughtful, welcoming, and knowledgeable person and I know that Milo enjoyed having her around. Don’t hesitate booking with Warda, you won’t regret it!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Elk Grove Village

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Elk Grove Village on Rover is $22.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 13,143 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Elk Grove Village. 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 Elk Grove Village 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elk Grove Village. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
