“Alexis was wonderful with our kitties! We have one very shy boy and he came out to greet her each visit. Alexis sent lots of great pictures, we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Velvet was great looking after our cat. Responsive and came with specific questions about how to look after him. She also went above and beyond when we had some surprise flooding in our basement. Will book again”
“Victoria was great! She kept us in full communication, sent videos, and helped us navigate through our new puppy’s shyness. She’s very easy to work with and would recommend her to anyone”
“Allison did a great job with our Murph! She was very communicative, shared photos, and played with our pup while we were away. She also FaceTimed in advance, which we appreciated since this was our first time using Rover. Would book again :)”
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t look at pet care as just a job—I truly treat every pet like family. ❤️ I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and loved ones, and I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I provide personalized, one-on-one attention and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, likes, and needs. Whether I’m taking a dog for a walk, stopping in to care for a cat, or welcoming a dog into my home, my goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’m also big on communication. I want you to feel connected while you’re away, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Most importantly, I know how much our pets mean to us. I’ve experienced the joy of having them as part of my family and the heartbreak of losing them, so I never take the trust someone places in me lightly. Your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, attention, and love that I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care while still being available and attentive to the pets in my care. I’m able to build my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure each pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine because it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with animals and provide the personalized care and attention I would want for my own pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a cat check-in, or a comfortable home away from home, I’m happy to work together to find a schedule that keeps your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐾❤️ I provide personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and the services requested. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, welcoming, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I also make sure they have a comfortable space to relax and follow their normal feeding and medication routines as closely as possible. For visits in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine and provide everything they need, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure everything is secure before I leave. I believe communication is just as important as good pet care, so I’m happy to provide photos and updates during visits or stays. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pups while Sarah checked in on them. She did a great job! I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent. Zuni and Millie are looking forward to the next visit!”
“We needed someone to drop by the house and let our 2 big dogs out for several days and wanted to give Rover a try. I met with Stephanie beforehand and exchanged a house key. She was courteous, respectful and responsible! I highly recommend booking with Stephanie! She sent daily pics of the dogs and gave a glowing review of their behavior and how her visit went. This made me so happy that they were well taken care of while I was away. I was reassured that my dogs were in great hands and that Stephanie was capable of handling these bullies. Thank you a million!”
“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”

“Caraline is amazing, we were so happy with how she took care of my two cats and are so excited to have her watch them again later this month. She is so patient, always sends photos and updates, follows every care instruction and brings so much peace of mind while traveling or being anxiously away from your pets. Her calm energy and love for animals has even made my extremely timid cat open up and initiate contact and play with her. She left areas cleaner than they were found and was eager to help outside of what was initially asked, including cleaning up cat litter/waste my cats dragged outside of their litter boxes without asking. I definitely recommend her and will be using her as a regular cat sitter!”
“Awesome sitter!! Michael watched my cat Conan for 10 days with little notice given beforehand and did an amazing job! Conan loved spending time with Michael and looked happy and well cared for when I returned. Michael followed all my instructions to a tea and cleaned up all the cat bowls and dishes. He sent me photos while I was away and made me feel like Conan was well cared for. Thanks Michael and I will book him again!”
“This is our second time having Adriana take care of Caius and she has been so great. She always sends us pictures of him which makes us feel comfortable while we’re away. Caius is usually pretty reactive and needs some time warming up to people and it seems as though he really has with her. It speaks to how great she is with animals. Thanks Adriana! ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“Erin does an amazing job; our greyhound Happy just loves her! She is professional and communicates very well. She's thoughtful and respectful of our home, making sure feet are clean and things are tidy. Erin is quick to respond to requests for help and flexible when my schedule changes. I can confidently recommend Erin.”
“Amberley was a wonderful sitter. She is reliable, communicative, responds quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. I would definitely recommend her!”
“John was wonderful with our energetic boxer puppy! I highly recommend him. When we came home, she greeted us with excitement and love as usual. Then she ran around our house looking for her new friend, John!”

Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!
Thantita did an amazing job with Toby. I feel like because he’s dark and big he can scare people but he’s really just all looks. She was on the floor playing with him during the meet & greet and you could see he was relaxed around her. She also tended to my one cat that has tummy issues by feeding her canned food. She even added a little water to it to keep her hydrated. She sent really great pics every day too. We got stuck in a snow storm & had to come home a day later and she was there for us kindly continuing to watch our pets. 10/10 she’s fantastic!
Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Glen Ellyn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 Glen Ellyn 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 .

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 Glen Ellyn 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.
