About: We're a family of five who adore pets of all kinds! We had a wonderful dog named Peace for about six years and plenty of experience petsitting for friends and relatives. Due to travel commitments, we currently have no pets-- which gives us plenty of time to care for yours. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works on a hybrid schedule, which gives us plenty of flexibility and allows us to be home for the majority of the day. Our daughter is currently enrolled in online high school, so she has plenty of time to walk, care for, and play with your pets! We have a large fenced yard and are able to crate your pets if provided. We'll take dogs for walks a minimum of twice a day and let them roam in the yard/provide at least a couple more potty breaks.
“Katherine is fantastic!! She is super compassionate, attentive, and punctual. She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a few days. Our diabetic cat needs three medications daily, including an oral pill and an insulin injection, and Katherine handled them like a pro. Great communication from the time we reached out to her. Highly highly recommend!”
“Mario was great for our dogs and really cared for them while we were out of town. We were worried leaving during fireworks since one is terrified, but he calmed him down great! Mario was very informative and replied quickly. We will definitely use him again!”
“Andrew was fantastic with our cats, and knowing they were in such good hands really allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation. We have a 1 year old and a 20+ year old, and he did a great job giving each what they needed, whether more play or more snuggle time. He sent us daily photos that showed how relaxed and at ease they were with him, and both seemed happy and confident when we arrived home. We plan to use Andrew again for all upcoming trips!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was young and continue to care for my senior cat whom I’ve had for the last 12 years. I have experience walking dogs ranging from small to large sizes, and live near a forest preserve trail that would be perfect for their walks! Friends and neighbors have also relied on me to do drop-in feedings as well. I work full-time, 4 days a week, evening shift. So I am available most mornings and have a pretty flexible 3-day weekend schedule. I live in a building complex that has a fenced in little dog park for your pup to run around in. I’m also near a forest preserve trail if they prefer longer walks to explore nature. Cats will have a safe, quiet space to stay with a large window to sun bathe in the mornings and cozy blankets to snuggle in.
About: I have a flexible schedule and can easily fit cat care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits and can provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I’ll follow your cat’s routine and send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all of your instructions, including feeding schedules, administering medications (if needed), and providing any special care your cat requires. I always make sure doors and windows are secure, keep the litter box clean, and provide a calm, stress-free environment. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to earn your trust, and I’ll care for your cat as if they were my own. I’m currently a freelancer, which gives me a flexible schedule. I usually prefer afternoon visits because my meetings are typically finished by then, but I’m happy to accommodate morning visits too. I just ask for at least 3 days’ notice for morning bookings so I can plan my schedule accordingly. Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During every visit, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I’ll make sure all doors and windows are secure before I leave and keep your home clean and tidy. As a cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has a unique personality, so I’ll respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Amy did a great job checking on our two cats while we were out of town. She was very attentive to the cats needs and we could tell they got lots of affection and play time during Amy’s visits. We highly recommend and plan to book with Amy in the future.”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for dogs and animals of all sorts. Growing up in the Philippines, my relatives found it strange to have such compassion for animals. I'd always begged my parents for a dog while doing avid research and volunteering at pet-related jobs to prepare myself if my dream was to come true. When I was 17, my parents finally agreed to get a dog-- but not just any dog. I wanted my dream dog: an Alaskan Malamute. Huge, stubborn, and a daily shedder, it was a huge challenge I took on myself. However, this Malamute was well trained, house-broken, and friendly. I believe I can take care of a dog of any size, temperament, or history. I am a graduate from the University of Illinois in Chicago with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology/Sociology. I volunteered at the Chicago Canine Rescue downtown where we play and walk with shelter dogs. I have copious experience with boarding, walking, and overall loving dogs. As a past dog boarder, I understand the care and attention that must be given to a pup to create a trusting bond with them. For more pictures of our past clients and to get a better idea how I interact with your pup, check out this instagram: powerpuffdogs May have to step out a few times a day, or if I have an outing I would make sure your pup has had plenty of exercise and pets before leaving. I adhere as closely as possible to the pet’s existing schedule— routine is key! Other than that, if you are comfortable with it, I can take your dog on forest walks, dog parks (only if you’d like, and with ample supervision), or on play dates with my own well-socialized dogs!
About: My daughter and I have been boarding dogs for 2 years and love it, we really focus on one families pet at a time so we give him/her our full love and attention. We will take up to 2 dogs at a time. We love to walk and play with the dogs. We have a large fully enclosed back yard in addition to a park at the end of our block we can walk dogs around a large walking path. I work from home so it can be a bit messy but its always clean if that makes sense. We text photos and funny videos of us with your pet. My daughter is saving to get her own dog in a few years and learning about various breeds and how much responsibility it is to have a pet. She is liking that she gets half of the funds we make doing this and it gives her a good financial perspective on earning money. We love these dogs as if they were our own. WE love taking care of pets, We love staying active walking and playing with the dogs. We will not take dogs if we do not have time for them. I Have an enclosed back yard that is perfect for active dogs to chase birds and have a bit of an area to run free. We do walk the dogs to our local park at the end of our block.
“We use Rosy often when we go out of town and she is exceptional! She is communicative and flexible. She goes above and beyond with our 2 cats and I always feel that they are in great hands when we travel.”
“I am extremely happy with Isabela and her care of our two cats. We were away for close to two weeks and I was initially nervous about being gone that long. But, she took great care of them and sent daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend her and would be happy to use her again.”
About: We've had dogs and cats in our family for years and miss hearing the patter of paws! We treat our pets well and enjoy playtimes and grooming dogs. Either my son or I are home to be with your pet. I work part time and my son is here when I work. He is working on his master's in business and loves to walk and play with the dogs. We do not have any pets of our own at present. This is a pet friendly home and yard on a quiet cul de sac. We dog sit other family members pets at time. Dogs are welcome in most rooms of the house.
“Brinda was so great with our boys. We were worried that they'd hide from someone new, but they loved her immediately. She was always so thorough and communicative and made sure that both we and our boys were comfortable.”

The best pet sitter. Rosy literally just saved my cat’s life, when she noticed he was not his usual self, took him to the vet, where they identified he had a urinary blockage and likely just hours to live. How lucky for us that Rosy was caring for our animals and so observant. Thank you, forever. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Tiffany checked in on my cat, Tofu, while I was gone on a week long trip. She was very communicative and sent lots of cute pics. She brought an issue with our automatic feeder to our attention and went above and beyond to help us trouble shoot the issue. Tofu loved Tiffany and we will be booking her again in the future
Helen was awesome! Our cat is very anxious and requires a transdermal medicine and Helen was able to handle our cat really well. She was able to give proactive updates about her. She was thorough in understanding our cat's needs. We will be booking with her again for sure!

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 Glenview 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
