Amazing couple. Even though my fur babies hid, they took great effort to find and photo them. They kept their food and water bowls full. The two are great sitters.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training basics such as leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing house rules, as well as senior pet care including administering medication, mobility support, and extra patience for aging pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing consistent updates, plenty of affection, and dependable care you can truly trust. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around consistent feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure pets receive dependable care and attention. I’m flexible and organized, which allows me to accommodate special needs like medication schedules, training reinforcement, or extra time for senior pets. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s never rushed—it’s a priority. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed—so pets feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I keep the home tidy and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

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.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3 years old. I love my pets, past and present. Currently, I have 5 dogs and 2 kitties. I have PERSONALLY successfully potty trained 2 of the dogs my family has had. I’ve owned a range of very large and very small dogs. I’ve dealt with puppies as young as 3 months and seniors as old as 13 years for dogs and 16 for cats (the cat is still alive and doing well!) I am a university student so I will be able to take care of your pets mostly in the evenings. However, I am available until noon on most weekdays and completely free on any weekend . I have taken care of not only sick house pets but sick wildlife. I have so much love for every animal that I will cater to any needs necessary. I myself have a dog with a disability and he is my heart and soul; I would do anything for him and your pets too.

ROUND LAKE BEACH, IL, 60073

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.

About: As a retired U.S. Navy Senior Chief, I bring reliability, patience, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. I know every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I'm an experienced dog owner and understand everything from energetic puppies that need structure and exercise to older dogs that benefit from a slower pace and extra patience. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their needs and stick closely to your routine. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is simple: to care for your dog the same way I'd want someone to care for my own. I'm retired from the U.S. Navy, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I build my day around their needs, whether that's morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or evening visits. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so regular walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of keeping pets on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care and make your pet feel safe, happy, and loved every visit. I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs, while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention and affection. During walks and visits, safety is always my top priority. I use secure leashing practices, pay close attention to each dog's comfort and behavior, and never rush their time outside. I clean up after pets, keep fresh water available, and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

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!

About: I love dogs and have two dogs that I care for daily. I have been walking and petsitting for friends, neighbors, and family for many years. Also have experience with all different types of dogs, so no issues with any breed or temperament. I love playing, walking, and running around with the dogs. I have a flexible work schedule so I can walk/play with pets during day or when needed. Have no issues watching pets in late hours or early in the morning as well. I will follow all directions provided and give the pets the best care! My dog is very active so I like to make sure when I’m watching other dogs they get to run around and play as much as desired.

Valerie was absolutely amazing with our dog during a very chaotic time for our family. We were in the middle of moving, and with all the stress and changes in the house, our dog had a couple of unexpected issues come up. Valerie handled everything calmly, confidently, and with so much care. She kept us updated, reassured us, and truly went above and beyond. We honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for her!!

Haley has been incredible, this is my first experience with Rover and I had a lot of questions. Thankfully, Haley was more than equipped to answer anything and everything I asked. I have a younger dog that does bark at new people, Haley took it all in stride, moving slow, allowing for sniffs and other close investigations. Within minutes they were best friends. There is still a little barking when Haley first arrives, but my dog quickly settles down and races outside for playtime. Haley asks me what my preferences are for the dogs and always follows up to ensure that my needs are understood. I LOVE the report cards and photos after each session. Seeing my dogs happy smiling faces after she visits with them makes me feel so at ease. Very, very happy to have found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Hainesville on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,505 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hainesville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Hainesville 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.

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 Hainesville 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 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 Hainesville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hainesville. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
