“Sarah did a fantastic job with my two cats. We did 30 minute drop in visits and she was on-time and made sure to take the time to not just check food and water but to give the cats some playtime and attention. One of my cats required extra care and she handled that no problem. Would absolutely book with Sarah again!”

“Did a great job caring for my cat. Didn't require a prior meeting and greet and followed my texted care instructions with no problems. Also brought in packages that were delivered without being asked, very appreciated.”

“We were so thankful to Kristen for scheduling a drop-in visit on very short notice. She checked in with us and sent great photos letting us know our doggies were well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Kristen in the future for pet sitting needs.”

“Alexis was super easy to communicate with, reliable and took great care of our kitty while we were gone! I appreciated getting pictures and updates, and would definitely book with Alexis again next time we need pet care!”

“We had just gotten a new puppy and I had to be gone a large part of the day due to work. Alex responded right away and spent an hour with the dog playing and trying to get him to go for a walk. I got a progress report and details on everything that happened within the hour, along with some great pictures too. So grateful for the help!”

“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.”

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.
“Grace was AMAZING and is so knowledgeable about dogs and their unique needs. She was so patient and knew exactly how to get our dog with bad anxiety more comfortable. We really appreciate her help and the updates during the drop- in visit.”

About: I been taking of pets since in high school from my own to my neighbors. I love being around animals.it’s a joy to be able to care for pets. There will be at least 2-3 walks a day along side of taking them out to potty. Your pet will be teeter like part of the family , spoiling them with lots of goodies and love. I’m on leave from work so I have plenty of time to devote to your pet. I am up bright and early every day so I would be spending time with pets most of the day. I have teenager boys who love helping out with animals and being around them. I have back area where I can set areas of play up for pets.
“I was so happy to find someone last minute to drop by our house to watch our new puppy! She was so flexible with our time schedule and went above and beyond. I highly recommend booking services with her and will book with her again.”

“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!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. My journey in animal care started in 1993 when I began volunteering at a local shelter as a middle schooler. Since then, I’ve cared for pets through every life stage, from bottle-feeding kittens and puppies to providing senior care. In 2024, I began fostering with Adopt Me! Bluegrass Pet Rescue (who I've adopted 3 dogs from) and volunteering with WAGS, a Louisville therapy animal group, where I was a trained aide to handlers as they help bring comfort and smiles to the community through pet therapy. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, topical medications, and subcutaneous medications and fluids, and I have hands-on experience with pets needing extra medical support. Two of my own resident pets are receiving medication on a regular basis in partnership with their veterinary team. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, structured walks, or special care, I treat every animal as if they were my own with patience, reliability, and love. I currently work from home, so your pet will always have company and attention through the day. Someone will be home with the pets at all times, making sure they get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles. Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime and plenty of comfy dog beds for lounging. Crates can be made available as well. My two friendly resident dogs love having new friends to play with, and they help keep visiting pups entertained and happy. I also share my home with two cats who have their own separated space, so everyone can feel comfortable. Whether your pet prefers running around the yard, snuggling up inside, or just relaxing, I make sure they have the care, space, and attention they need to feel safe and loved.

About: Hello! I have been a dog lover my whole life having lived with and owned dogs. Currently, I have an English Bulldog & a well trained German Shepherd. I love outdoor walks and play time - no walk is too long for me with your dog! Also, love to keep them company if they do not want to be alone for long periods of time. Experienced in administering medicines to both cats and dogs. Along with my 2 dogs I live on a hobby farm with chickens, horses & barn cats. In college I worked at Danada Vet in the kennel and assisted on the vet floor with the techs and Drs! Reach out with any questions! Thank you! I’m currently working at my family business in the Wheaton area and most of the work is online or around the suburbs - never gone for more than a couple hours. I can be readily available for walks, care and house sitting. I am experienced in caring for pets in the owners home - happy to keep their routine and habits so their life is easy while you are away!
“Collette is such a lovely dog person. She immediately greeted Abbey with ear rubs that led to belly rubs. I highly recommend Collette as long as you dont need her when Abbey and I need her.”


About: **For the house sitting part of the profile I cannot sleepover at the clients house due to health reasons but I can take the dog(s) out for breaks at anytime.** We have a rescue dog, who was untrained and very high anxiety when we rescued him. Now, he is a fun loving, good listening boy! I probably baby him too much, so if you are looking for someone to be uber strict, that's probably not us. We just want to give love when you're not able to. I am in school part time and I am only looking to take care of a few dogs, so I can work the schedules that they need. I have two dogs that I feed, bathe and train. I like to play with them and I can tell when she's about to get the "zoomies'" , so I play extra hard with her then. Of course I like to snuggle and pet any puppy!
About: I’ve taken care of up to 4 dogs at a time. I have 6 years of experience. I have taken care of senior dogs, aggressive dogs, and easy dogs. I have always been a dog person and love taking care of them! I will make sure your animals feel loved and safe when you are away. I am currently taking a break from a full time job to take care of my mom who recently had a minor stroke. My schedule is pretty open, and I will be able to work around taking care of her. I have a fenced yard for my dog. He is aggressive and pulls on walks but we are working on it and I am capable of making sure he still gets out for walks, I am in shape so this makes it possible for me to do. As far as in my clients home, I make sure to meet with them first before showing up to dog sit. I find this to be helpful. Of course this isn’t required but I am open to that. My main goal is to make sure the pets are feeling safe and happy when their owners are away. I take safety very seriously. Examples include making sure they don’t get into anything, and that they are secured both on walks and outside in the yard. I have never had a situation with dogs having to go to vet or getting out.
About: I have been a devoted dog owner for 13 years, raising both a German Shepherd and a Chihuahua Terrier mix from puppyhood. My two dogs are my world, and that same level of love and dedication is what I bring to every dog in my care. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds — from my own pups to friends’, family members’, and others’ dogs — giving me a well-rounded understanding of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have a special soft spot for senior dogs and understand the patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is large or small, I’m experienced with both ends of the spectrum. My German Shepherd and Chihuahua mix are friendly and well-socialized, so your pup will have built-in companions during their stay. When your dog is with me, they’re not just being watched — they’re being loved. I work from home, I am here all day — which means your dog is never left alone for long. My senior dogs go out 3 to 4 times a day, and visiting dogs are welcome to follow that same routine or their own personal schedule. Every dog is different, and I make it a priority to honor whatever routine works best for yours. My home has a private fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and relieve themselves safely. My own dogs have their own comfortable space, and any dog in my care is given a cozy, secure environment where they can truly relax. Whether your dog is large or small, energetic or easygoing, they will be treated like family from the moment they arrive. Because I work from home, I am here all day — which means your dog is never left alone for long. Every dog in my care follows their own schedule provided by their owner, including feeding times, medications, and any special instructions. I take those details seriously because I know how important routine is, especially for seniors. My home has a private fenced yard where dogs enjoy playtime and regular potty breaks throughout the day. When it’s time to wind down, your pup will have a warm, cozy space to relax and sleep comfortably. And to give you peace of mind while you’re away, I send photo updates so you always know your dog is happy and in good hands.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Glendale Heights
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 Glendale Heights 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 Glendale Heights 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 Glendale Heights with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
