“Sam was great with our Rocco! He is a special needs dog that required a lot of love and special attention (and medication). I would recommend Sam for all of your dog needs.”
About: I specialize in puppy training, senior pet care, and administering medications—providing loving, patient, and reliable attention tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve had all sizes of dogs growing up and love them all! I’m currently working part time, and I have enough flexibility to fit your pets need in my schedule! Your pet means a lot to me even if it’s just a walk a day. I take my dogs out at least eight times a day on a leash. I take them for a walk twice a day. My cats are fed once a day and their litter is changed every other day.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, from turtles to sugar gliders to cats and dogs. I had two dogs named Sammy and Kona, but sadly Sammy passed away not too long ago. Kona is an 8-year-old multipoo with personality for days. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and big dogs. I am able to administer oral medication as well as flea and tick treatments. With a family that loves animals, I have picked up a few skills. I can walk, feed, and play with more than one dog at a time. I love meeting new dogs and can’t wait to meet yours :) I am a student majoring in biology at college of lake county. I do attend in person classes however with my schedule I have lots of free time in between classes to play and care for your furry friends! I believe that every pet deserves a stress free, fun, and safe environment tailored to their unique personality. My goal is to provide the same level of love and attention that I would give to my own pets. When caring for pets in your home: I am incredibly respectful of your space and your pet’s comfort zone. I follow your instructions to the letter, whether that involves a strict medication schedule, specific walking routes, or house rules. I also make it a priority to keep your home clean and secure. Communication is key: Regardless of the service, I believe in keeping you updated. I love sending regular photo and video updates so you can see exactly how much fun your furry friend is having while you’re away. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, capable, and loving hands!
“Christine was awesome, highly recommend. She watches our pug Buddha and is on time and has great follow up. He needs extra care because he requires insulin injections and she exceeded expectations.”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life. I know every dog is unique and needs unique care. I want to make sure your dog is treated with care and understanding while you're away! I have experience giving oral medications (both pills and liquids). I currently have an open schedule for summer! Whether you need a dog walk or multiple visits for feedings while you're away, I've got you covered! I want to build a trusting relationship with you and you're pets. For home visits, I will take time to ensure your pet is eating and drinking well, make sure litter boxes and crates are clean, and each pet knows I'm there to make them feel safe and loved. Is you're pet a little shy? No worries! I'll give their privacy after making sure everything is taken care of.
“Loved the updates and the pictures. So relieved they did well. Happy with the drop in visit this afternoon. Looking forward to future visits after using Rover. Thank you Barbara!”
“This is the second summer in a row that we've booked Hannah to care for our cat while we were away on our extended vacation. We can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave Edison. Her regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that Edison truly enjoyed Hannah's company. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We'll definitely book her again!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. Jack Russel Beagle, German Shepherd & Beagles. I understand shy and more active, hyper dogs. Happy to help out as I have often needed help along the way. I'm currently working full time, but have time after work and weekends. I'm open to different scenarios or last minute requests as needed within this area. I do have a fenced yard, but not currently accepting pets at my home, unless for small dog if needed for a short time. I would respectful of your home also.
“Chris is always amazing at handling our high energy puppy. He has been doing drop ins for us and is always flexible, on time and always shows us what a great time our puppy is having.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of many different kinds and have several years of hands-on experience caring for them in addition to caring for my own family dogs. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and have helped care for my roommates puppies since she first came home. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and sticking to each pet’s normal routine. I know every dog has their own personality, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I also enjoy keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they have peace of mind. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, and overnight care. I’m more than happy to work with your schedule to meet their needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep the routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I will follow your pets regular schedule for meals, water refills, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other care instruction you provide. I believe every pet deserves plenty of attention, patience and affection, so I’ll make sure they receive the companionship and exercise they need while you’re away. I also value open communication and will keep you updated with messages and photo so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Teri was great! She understood all my "quirky" cat mom requests, was communicative, and and available to check on the kitties when there was extra concern. Going to book her again for another trip right meow!”
“It’s obvious she has passion for animals! My dog loves her and I can trust that she spends real time with him while she’s coming to let him out! Very patient and understanding/flexible.”
“Ashley was wonderful! Very prompt & had great communication about my pup with me. This was my first Rover experience & she made it so easy & stress-free for me. Will definitely rebook with her!”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life and currently have two dogs of my own that we got as puppies and trained ourselves. Additionally, I'm an animal science major at the University of Illinois, which has further fueled my passion for animals, especially dogs. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my lifelong experience with dogs combined with my academic background. Your furry friends will not only get lots of love, belly rubs, and long walks but they'll also benefit from my commitment to their well-being and happiness away from their owners! I currently have an open availability with some previous dates blocked off due to prior commitments! You can always reach out even if it seems like I’m unavailable! Caring for pets in my home revolves around creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment. With two friendly dogs of my own to keep your dog company, your furry friend will always have a buddy to play with. While I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make up for it with long, enjoyable walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is already pet-proofed with secure areas, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I could also accommodate other needs, whether it’s crating your dog or adhering to particular routines. Ensuring animals are fed on schedule and always have access to fresh water is also a top priority. I am always watching and being mindful of what the pets are doing, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. My goal is to provide a trustworthy and nurturing environment where your pet feels right at home.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Grandwood Park
This was our first time having someone complete drop-in visits to check on my cat as previously we had left the cat at another person's house. Sam was able to visit our home to meet our pet, and we left some instructions for her before we left. We had booked her for every other day; however, our cat became anxious and she offered to check on him. We booked her for extra days, she checked in/out upon visit and provided updates and pictures of our cat. Would definitely be using her services again when needed.
Sara was amazing with our two cats. One of them is very shy, and she completely won him over. Our boys were well-loved and taken care of while we were away. We got lots of photos of them to enjoy! Upon our return they are happy and healthy. I can tell they had good company and lots of love. We look forward to working with Sara again!
Our babies love Gage! Especially Finnegan. Gage took wonderful care of them while we were gone. He was attentive and friendly, making them comfortable around him. He was very respectful of our home. Sent plenty of pics for momma! We highly recommend him and will be using him again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
