“Britt was absolutely amazing!! Our dog doesn't like new people taking her out right away, but she took to Britt within just a couple days. Very easy to work with and 100000% recommend!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 13 years — I've owned 3 dogs ranging from small to large, so I'm comfortable and experienced with all sizes. I've also sat for friends and family, so I understand how much trust it takes to hand your dog off to someone else. I take that responsibility seriously and make sure every dog in my care feels safe and well looked after. I'm currently on summer break and have a very open schedule, meaning I can be flexible around whatever works best for you and your dog. I'm available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care isn't just a side thing for me — I'm treating this seriously and looking to make it a full-time commitment. You can expect prompt communication, reliable show-up times, and a sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. When it comes to drop-in visits, I treat your home with full respect — I follow your routines, stick to your dog's schedule, and make sure everything is secure before I leave. For walks, I always make sure dogs are properly leashed and stay attentive the whole time. I have one dog of my own so I'm experienced with handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Your dog's safety and comfort is always the priority.
“Catherine was incredible! I had a last minute business trip out of town and had been stressing about finding someone to watch my two cats. I'm so grateful Catherine was available and will definitely be using her again in the future. She followed directions and went above and beyond. Every day I got multiple pictures and updates on their eating habits, temperament, how play time went, etc. I could feel the love she showed my felines through the updates. My cats can be rather suspicious of new people but they warmed up to her quickly and within a day or two were waiting for her by the door. I think that really speaks to her skill with animals and how much respect and love she shows them. Will definitely be using her services in the future. Cannot recommend Catherine enough. 5 stars all day every day”
“Janet was awesome. My dogs loved her. This is the first time leaving them with someone other than myself and my adult daughter. She was so patient with them as they had many accidents and were very out of sorts. She was dependable and kind. Highly recommended!”
“Best cat sitter ever. Plenty of pictures, careful providing of medicines, kitty litter area spotless. She even organized Pumpkin’s cat toys! Hilarious. Will definitely use again. Thanks, Velvet!”
“Aga was really wonderful with my cat. He is shy and doesn't like to come out when strangers are there. Aga sent pictures and every time he was "out and about." Everything was perfectly in order when I came home. Aga is great and I highly recommend.”
“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!”
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of and spending time with them. I have experience caring for older dogs who may need extra attention, assistance, or medication. I also have extensive experience with energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of exercise, consistency, and routine in keeping them happy and healthy. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I am organized and dependable, so I can consistently follow routines, medication schedules, and specific care instructions to make sure pets stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, bathroom breaks, and any medications or special instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while also respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintaining a clean, calm space. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. I have experience caring for many different dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines! I’m currently an undergraduate student at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet sitting, walks, and overnight care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and being in your home. I always make it a priority to be respectful, responsible, and communicative so owners feel comfortable and know their pets are in good hands

Whether it's walks, playtime, or extra attention and care, I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you're away.

About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I work really close to my apartment. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.
“Sarah was great. She was prompt and responsible, gave my dogs their medicine, took them on good walks, and provided comforting updates and photos. It’s the first time I didn’t have to worry while away from my pets! She even fed our goldfish. :) Thanks, Sarah!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and have had dogs of my own since I was 4. I have experience with dog socialization including working with local humane societies and volunteering for 4 Paws 4 Ability, where I trained service dogs in training. I have experience with many breeds of all ages and am comfortable handling medication if needed. I will have plenty of time to take care of pups this summer as I just graduated college and am waiting to find employment! I am available to stop in to let your pup out or take them for a walk when you need if I’m in town! My top priority is making sure your dog or cat gets the love and care they need. As a pet owner, I know you expect someone who is qualified, reliable, and will put your babies first!
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.
“Joan was SUCH a life-saver when I had a last minute out-of-town trip for a family emergency. She touched base with me before I made the appointment and allowed me to tell her all I needed to about my dog, and she allowed me to feel confident that she was up for the task. On the day of, she even contacted me about a more convenient time based on my dog's personality. She went over and above to be sensitive to my dog's needs. She was a pro at handling him and made him feel super comfortable and loved in my absence. She sent pictures. She called while she was there so I knew how it was going. And my dog just loved her (though to be fair, he loves everyone). I feel so confident with my baby in her care. I will definitely book again with her for future needs!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ellyn
Joseph was an amazing dog sitter! He was kind, reliable, and took great care of my dog during the visit. Communication was excellent, and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
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!

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.
