“Thank you Coleen! Coleen was prompt and attentive. She provided the love and care our 7 year old dog needed while we were away. Our family had peace of mind knowing Buddy was well taken care of! When Buddy’s fresh dog food delivery arrived, while we were away, Coleen carried the heavy box inside and put it in the refrigerator for us! I know Coleen will do a great job because she cares!”

“Suzanne has been wonderful for Prince. She is timely, energetic, and takes him on long walks. It's very helpful knowing someone who cares about dogs is in my neighborhood.”

“I'll definitely book Jackie again. It's hard to leave your pup in the hands of someone you just met, but Jackie made us feel that Cooper was in good hands. We appreciated her consideration and care with him.”

“She is awesome! She was able to help me with very short notice. Walked BOTH my puppies and went above and beyond for me and my babies! I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including overnight and extended stays in clients’ homes. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic medications, and following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m also a nursing student, so I’m dependable, organized, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and home, so I make communication a priority and am happy to send regular photo and video updates while you’re away. I have pets of my own and understand that every animal has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. My goal is to keep your pet feeling safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have flexibility outside of my nursing classes and clinicals. I’m able to plan walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and overnight stays around each pet’s normal routine, and I’m especially available in the evenings and on weekends. When I commit to a booking, I make sure I have enough time to give your pet consistent attention rather than trying to squeeze visits in. I’m also happy to work around specific feeding, medication, or exercise schedules when needed. I currently have online classes Monday and Tuesday mornings, which can be done from home. I have in-person classes Wednesday and Thursday from 10-4 and Friday 7am-1pm. Weekends for me are open! I provide care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions carefully, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are always handled securely. I’m very respectful of both the pet and the home, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy while the owner is away. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

My schedule is pretty open and flexible right now. So I’d have all the time to give your pups all my time and attention. Availability 7 days a week. I have a fenced yard.

About: Hi, my name is Jesse and I offer In-home boarding, dog walking/pet visits and a pet taxi service. I can administer any medications and/or injections. I self employed and make my living as a professional pet trainer, groomer and have managed large pet care facilities in the Chicagoland area for 20 yrs. I have been responsible for the care and health of at least 300,000 pets in my time in the industry, so I am very well experienced with most medical issues and I specialize in senior and special needs dogs. I only take care of friendly, social dogs that are neutered(depending on age) and love the company of other friendly pets that might not do well in a boarding facility. I am self employed as a professional pet trainer and pet care provider. someone is home most the time which allows the pets to get the exercise they need in order to socialize well during play, rest or naps. I care for all pets according to whatever their needs are. There is no one way of caring for peoples pets and each pets needs its own individual attention tailored to their needs. Behavior is important as well.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. We’ve had dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks, so I’ve had my fair share of taking care of animals. We’ve gotten all our animals when they were babies, so I have experience with all ages. I love animals and my home would feel empty without any. I’m currently have a schedule consisting of classes and basketball. I have a bit going on, but whatever free time I have, I am available! I can stick to a schedule and do everything as close to the pet’s routine as possible. I have time to go on walks and/or let them outside in the client’s yard.
About: Ready to work hard and safe to take good care of your four-legged best friend! At your service for walks, sitting, driving to appointments, and any other basic pet care! I've been hired my neighbors, relatives, and family friends before to house sit/ pet sit. I think it's important to be careful and respectful at all times, to report any issues immediately, and treat the pet with the kindness and fun they usually receive from their owner! My family has previously kept a dog, geckos, a chameleon, fish, a rabbit,and a bird. My hobbies include chess, bowling, music and concerts, hiking and running. I'm located in the near-west suburbs but I have my own car so I'm happy to go anywhere around Chicagoland! Take care! currently working a flex position at Camp McKean for community and outdoor recreation. off all day on Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays. Rest of the week I could dog sit before or after work. Early morning or evening. I will always top off a pet's water bowl, take an inventory of supplies like poop bags, toys, where food is, etc. with Rover gigs before I've taken pictures and videos for the client to let them know how everything's going 😀
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, loving care tailored to their unique needs. I'm patient with puppies, attentive to senior dogs, and committed to keeping pets safe, active, and comfortable. I communicate regularly with owners, provide updates after each visit, and strive to create a positive, stress-free experience for both pets and their families. Being a school teacher, and having the summers off, my schedule is very flexible. Daily walks and sitting is a phone or text message away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their regular routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of affection while ensuring their environment stays clean. I also administer medications if needed, monitor their well-being, and send regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and am no stranger to taking care of them(nail trimming, bathing, grooming, etc.). I can guarantee the utmost care.

Every walker 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.

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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
