About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 6 years. I help with walking, feeding, playtime, bathing, and basic training. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and following specific care routines. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m available all day on weekends, Fridays after 3 PM, and Thursdays. I have a flexible schedule during these times, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and consistent care. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine whenever possible. I prioritize safety and comfort at all times. I carefully follow care instructions, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets are supervised. Having 2 dogs and 2 cats has taught me how important patience, routine, and trust are when caring for animals.
About: My cousin goes out of town often, so I would stop by her house to check on her dogs (feeding, playing, taking them out for walks, and changing out the pee pads). I also helped care for my roommate’s dogs/puppy. Additionally, I’ve volunteered for dog walks from a local dog shelter! I love taking dogs on walks and hikes to keep them active! I’m a nurse, so I only work 3 nights a week (7pm-7:30am). I have more than half the week available to walk/play/take care of your pets! This also means I am available in the mornings after a shift, as well. Although my work nights vary weekly, I am more than happy to coordinate our schedules that work best for you :) I live close to a lot of forests, trails, and parks, so your pup will have a wonderful time staying active outdoors! I am very attentive to details and will adhere to specific dietary needs!
About: I grew up with a lot of pets and have done pet sitting and dog walking for the last 4 years. I have several regular families that I pet sit for and do regular dog walking. I am currently doing online classes to finish my college degree. I have a lot of free time to myself and can travel anywhere in the city to take care of your dogs. I take particular care to follow instructions for your dog, making sure to walk them and feed them at the right time. I also make sure your home is clean and well kept after I leave.
About: I offer in-home pet sitting and dog walking for local clients, providing feeding, exercise, and companionship for both dogs and cats. I'm comfortable administering medications and following individualized care instructions for pets with specific health or dietary needs. I've built lasting relationships with repeat clients through reliable scheduling, attentive care, and regular updates on their pets while they're away. I manage all bookings and client communication myself, balancing multiple pet-sitting clients alongside full-time work in animal care. I have flexible availability throughout the week, including daytime hours, which means I can stick to a pet's normal routine without rushing, whether that's multiple walks a day, mid-day feedings, or checking in on medication schedules. I'm able to be consistent and present, so pets get the same reliable care and attention every visit. I treat every home like it's my own, securing doors, following the pet's normal routine for feeding, walking, and litter boxes, and sticking closely to any medication or care instructions. My clinic experience helps me catch early signs if something seems off, and I know how to let anxious or senior cats warm up at their own pace rather than forcing it. For dogs, I double-check leashes and collars and stay attentive on walks. I keep owners updated throughout, so they always know their pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: Raised 2 labs since they were 8 weeks. Watched neighbors and friends dogs/cats from daily drop-ins to 2weeks overnight. Walked, groomed, bathed, fed, gave medicine to the animals. Familiar with animals and gentle and caring. Trusting, happy to play with them, walk them, pet them, and run with them. Require vet information, emergency numbers, and treats. What sets me apart from other sitters is I genuinely care about the dog and what they want and/or need and will constantly be keeping an eye on them. It's fun and enjoyable for me so it's almost like I'm not even working. I also know where dog parks are and dog beaches, so I feel it's okay with the owner I'd be happy to take the dogs there. I’m in Chicago for a few months and thought I’d make some money trying this. I have no other job set up and am pretty much available anytime which could be helpful to last minute events. I would only be caring for the animals in the clients home but will make sure the environment is a clean, safe, and fun one.
About: am a loving and responsible cat owner who understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have personal experience caring for a rescue cat with special needs, including a three-legged cat. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs patience, attention, and affection. I am comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and following specific care instructions. I will treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can have peace of mind! Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love making time for my furry friends! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a walk, or some extra cuddles, I’m here to help! As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I always respect each animal’s personality, follow their usual routine, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Fresh water, meals, a clean space, playtime, and plenty of affection are all part of my care. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during every visit, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your little one is happy, safe, and loved! ❤️
About: I’ve always had a love for cats since I was 9 my family has always had pets. They bring me so much joy and happiness. I’m currently working from home I’ve been thinking of cat sitting for a while and what better time then NOW! To spend and love fur babies! FYI! When house sitting I do not stay at the residence I do pop in visits for 1hr twice a day. Thank you. I have a back room solely for my cats and yours! Where they have access to cat toys comforting and food. They can also always bunk with me to feel safe and comfortable.
“Taylor did a meet and greet before our booking. We enjoyed getting pics and updates on our dog's activites while we were away. She went the extra mile to bring in our mail. Would for sure rebook with Taylor!”
About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.
“Ariel was wonderful and gave us total peace of mind while we were away taking care of our kitties. Will absolutely book her again when we travel and would recommend her for cat care! Thank you Ariel!!”
About: I've been fortunate to own my last dog for 11 years. I miss him so much. Hope to share my love for dogs with your pup. I can train and take care of the dogs from poppies to seniors. Currently, I work from home and is able to offer frequent and long walks and plenty of attention. I'm available any day of the week. No fenced yard by plenty parks and trails to walk around the neighborhood. Good behavior is reinforced with attention and treats. I make sure dogs always have water available.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 chickens. As a child we also had a hermit crab and guinea pigs. Pet care never stops at my house, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 chickens keep me busy! I have experience with guinea pigs and hermit crabs as well. Will communicate with you while you are away, love to send pictures and tell you about our day! Will spend lots of time on walks and outdoors
“Jenny was great! Very professional and left AMAZING notes. I really appreciate the extra love and affection she gave my baby while I’m out of town. Will be using her again soon!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since before I could remember ! I grew up doing it all, from delivering pups to scooping up poop in all it’s glory. I currently work during the day time so I would make a perfect cat sitter / house sitter. I can keep your pets company in the afternoons when I get off I don’t board Pets in my own home but can be very flexible to work around schedules and make your pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible in their own home

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Glencoe is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 11,620 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Glencoe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Glencoe 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Glencoe with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
