“Adriana was wonderful and took great care of my cat. I received awesome updates with photos included and I really felt comfortable knowing she would be taking care my fur baby. Thank you Adriana! Ollie says thanks too.”
“Nicholas was the best! His care for my feisty cat was amazing. I especially appreciated his updates and good communication about the particulars, and he also attended to details. He went above and beyond and all respects.”
“Justice is fantastic and took great care of my dog! I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. It made the whole experience stress-free and I would highly recommend her!”
“She took such good care of my pup! I was so lucky to be able to schedule last minute with her and I'm super grateful for her flexibility! Definitely will book with her again! 😊”
About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.
“Alicia is the perfect blend of professional services with a personal touch. She arrived exactly as scheduled for each visit to care for our cat, and thoroughly reported the status of every important aspect of care. In addition, we were very happy to hear of Alicia’s personal observations and interactions with our kitty. She was quickly able to win her trust, which is impressive given that she is a cautious and sensitive cat around new people. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and very highly recommend Alicia’s services!”
“Desiree was communicative and helpful with our dog! She ran into some traffic, but kept us updated throughout her time. She even snapped some cute videos of our pup!”
“This was my first time leaving my cats with someone other than my mother, so I was nervous to say the least. After the initial chat and walk through I felt comfortable with Katie. Katie provided detailed updates and tons of cute photos of playtime during the drop in visits. Will certainly have Katie watch them again when I need a sitter.”
“Thank you Ruby for doing such a great job caring for Dyango! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. To be able to leave our dog is such good care, really put my mind at ease. Thanks!”I highly recommend her”
About: Hi! My name is Leah, I have had experience with all types of dog sizes and breeds. I myself have grown up with two sweetheart pitbulls, sadly lost both due to different types of cancer and old age :( (12 & 14). I now have a Shihtzu(2), and Yorkie(3) who are apart of my family! I pet sit a golden retriever on occasion when his parents are out of town! I love animals and am soon hoping to welcome a Maine coon to my family. I don’t have much experience with cats other than hanging with my boyfriends black cat, but I love them! I also have minimal experience with turtle sitting. I am an animal lover and am looking forward to caring for and meeting more animals:P I do currently have a 9-5 job, Tuesday-Friday. I am available all day on the days I am off or after work. to walk and look after pets! My doggies are family pets, they are well cared for when I am not there. I do not usually pet sit at my house unless they are well known to me and my family. My doggies usually sleep in my room or my moms room. They do not sleep in a cage. They are free to roam around my house but don’t like being alone so they are almost always with me or my family haha. They are walked 3 times a day.. once before work, once after work and once before bed. They are let out to roam in the back yard, supervised when I am gardening or just out there relaxing. I have a fenced backyard. That is my personal style of caring for my pets. I do understand that everyone has different rules and expectations with their pets & home and I am more than happy to follow every rule and instruction i’m given when it comes to caring for your pets!
“We are very pleased with our first drop in with Jackie. Our dog is very anxious around all people and Jackie understood Nabi’s special needs, was on time and very communicative! We will be requesting more drop-ins with Jackie!”
“Diane has been an absolute pleasure! So is so kind to our pups and to us, and has gone above and beyond taking care of Tuk and Hamlet. We so appreciate Diane’s commitment and communication!”
“I had a previous bad experience with another sitter on Rover so I was a bit nervous leaving my cat with another sitter. Liliia, however, took such good care of my cat, Floyd. She would communicate any questions she had regarding him and was responsive with my messages. She arrived on time for his visits (I booked 2 visits a day for 7 days). She also communicated to me when my cat wasn’t being compliant with his asthma inhaler, which I appreciated. I would definitely rebook with her again if needed. I would recommend her if you’re looking for someone that’s going to take good care of your pets.”
“Ying took fantastic care of our cat while we were away for 5 days - not an easy task! We recommend her to all future owners looking for a trusted someone to take care of their babies :)”
“Milagros did a great job taking care of my cat! She is super communicative and always sent pictures. My boy always looked happy in the pics and I could tell he was getting lots of love. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I feel as though lots of people want dogs but don’t care to learn how to properly take care of them so, I go above and beyond to take care of the dogs I am able to take care of within my power. I would like to have a meet and greet before I take on any assignments. I am a TA for Oak Park 97 school district. I love animals; especially dogs. I have a degree in Zoology and seek a career working with animals. I usually am free after 3:30 pm Monday through Friday and have open availability most weekends. I try to respond to messages as soon as possible and will work to accommodate your pets needs as best as I can. I make sure that my client’s pet’s feel safe as possible when they’re with me. While walking, I won’t let the client’s dog interact with other people or dogs because you never know how dogs will react with strangers or other dogs. That is unless the owner gives me permission to do so. If feeding is required I will make sure that the dog gets the appropriate amount of food for their breed or per the owner’s instructions. If need be I will also play with the dog and make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise that they need.
“Angelina was wonderful! She took great care of our elderly cat and had helpful suggestions for some of his ailments. We will definitely have her back again the next time we are traveling.”
About: Passionate animal lover offering caring and dependable pet sitting. I may be new to professional pet care, but I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood Park
Zena is a bit of a diva when it comes to new people. After the first visit Emily "Quinn" was good friends with Zena. It was easy to tell from the updates how well Zena was doing. When we got back Zena was in great shape. Quinn is great at this. You should strongly consider hiring her to look after your pets.
We absolutely love our dog walker, Emma she is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and clearly have a genuine passion for dogs. Emma always communicates clearly and sends the best photos/visit summaries during their walks, which brings us so much peace of mind while we are at work. Our dog, Dyango, gets so excited the second she arrive. We will never forget You. She is the best
I can’t say enough good things about Chris and how well he cared for my dog and cat. I was nervous about leaving them at home for the first time instead of taking them to a sitter, but it turned out I had nothing to worry about. Chris was reliable and showed up when he said he would. The love and care he gave my crew was amazing. He also communicated really well during each visit, sending updates, pictures, and observations about how they were doing. He didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions, which meant a lot to me since my dog is a senior and has a few health concerns. I can’t recommend Chris enough — he really is that great 😊 I’ll definitely be using his services again in the future!
We had a great experience withAaron who did a few weekday drop in visits for us! He was very thorough during the intake and took the time to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a good fit for everyone, which we really appreciated. During the drop-in visits, Aaron took our pup to a local dog park (with our permission of course) where she got plenty of exercise and socialization—and had a great time. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’d definitely book with Aaron again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Elmwood Park 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 Elmwood Park 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.

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

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.
