About: I started my dog-walking journey when I was 16 years old, helping expecting mothers by caring for and walking their dogs when they needed extra support. What began as a way to earn money during high school quickly became something I truly enjoyed. I loved building connections with pets and making sure they felt safe, happy, and cared for. Over the years, my experience has grown, and I continue dog walking not only as a way to earn extra income but because I genuinely love animals. I especially enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats, learning their personalities, and providing them with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I take pride in being reliable, patient, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, so my main availability is Thursday through Saturday. I may also be available on other days depending on my schedule, so feel free to reach out and ask! I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your needs and your pet’s routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment where every dog and cat feels cared for and respected. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality to help them feel secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable care, plenty of love and attention, and a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and well-being.
“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!”
“Beth was great! She made sure our cat was attended to. She even went above and beyond on some of the fringe requirements for our cat. I look forward to booking her again on our next trip.”
About: I've had my beagle, Zeppelin, for years and he is genuinely the light of my life. I love pet sitting and have been doing it for the past couple of years. Building relationships with pets is such a fun and wholesome experience, I would love to take care of yours, any pet, any size! I am typically free throughout the day on mainly weekdays. I'm willing to come in any hour for your pets! I love building relationships with pets so I would be more than happy to make a schedule with you. I love to spend time with a pet and play or chill out with them when possible. Safety is a key priority, I always make sure there is no unsafe foods in reach, doors cracked, dangerous objects out, and etc.
“Vivian gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation by taking care of my pup when my husband was at work. She played with our pup in our backyard, made sure he had fresh water, and took lots of cute photos. I would definitely book her again!”
“Cherri is fantastic! She is reliable, friendly, and clearly love dogs. I could tell my dogs really liked her. Her communication was excellent, and I felt great knowing that my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Janet is awesome! I never have to worry about my kitties when Janet is coming. She is perfect at following care instructions and communicating what's going on with my cats. I highly recommend!”
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Glen Ellyn is $20

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!

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 Glen Ellyn 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.

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.
