“We were nervous to leave our fur babies when we went on vacation, but Nicole did a fantastic job, even with our half-feral new cat. They became besties in a matter of 2 days! We will be going to Nicole for any future cat sitting.”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and different needs, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their routines, whether that means playtime, walks, feeding, or simply providing extra cuddles and companionship. I’m also happy to give young pets the patience they need as they learn and grow, as well as provide gentle, attentive care for senior pets who may need a little extra support. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring, trustworthy hands 🐾 I’m currently a stay at home mom so weekends are always open for your weekend getaway! I am not available during week days currently. I care for every pet by following their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client's home, I make sure pets have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and a clean, comfortable environment. I follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. My priority is to make sure every pet receives personalized care, patience, and affection, just as I would give my own pets.
“Madison was great with our cat, Wrigley, while away. She was reliable, flexible when needed, and provided loving care and peace of mind while away. We will use her again!”
“Bo is amazing! We left some instructions to care for our animals and she followed all of them no questions asked! We also have a dog who is high energy and Bo does a great job keeping her entertained!”
About: I’ve had furry friends of my own since childhood! I currently care for three dogs of my own: a senior purebred pit bull, a young and active pit mix, and a frenchie! So I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I treat every pet with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want someone to give my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐾 I work Monday–Friday from 9 AM–5 PM, but I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine when booking! For house sitting, I can use my lunch break to check in on pets when needed, and I’ll communicate with you about their schedule and care needs ahead of time I do my 100% best to mimic the care and routine your pets are used to at home. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm companion, medication reminders, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll do my best to make their time away from you feel comfortable and stress-free. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing how your pet is doing and that they’re being cared for.
“Victoria and her husband are awesome! They took the last minute challenge head on to watch my dogs after I had two people cancel on me and it was greatly appreciated. I could tell from pictures that as the day visits progressed my dogs seemed to be getting more comfortable and calmer with them. They have a great dog loving energy. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have cared for labs and dachshunds to birds and hamster so I am well versed in interaction and first aid.

Animal care always comes first, after all a steady schedule makes for a happy pet I have two small dogs one is a baby one is an old man but they get along great and play like puppies. They are friendly and would love to keep your fur baby company. However, if your dog is not up for company for any reason there is a nice sized crate in which the animals that reside here or your own (which ever you are more comfortable with) can reside it. I love to play, study mannerisms and behaviors, I like toys that make their brains work so they feel fulfilled and tired after a good session of play. Walks, breaks and water are a good way to bond and pass the time. Cuddle bugs are always welcome as well. Nail trimming and grooming available if needed.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was about 12 years old. My entire family has been dog lovers since before I can even remember. I began caring for dogs as a hobby and eventually began to receive payment for it as people started to recommend me to their friends and family. I treat all animals with the love and respect they deserve, especially dogs. They are the sweetest, most loving features there are. Caring for your pet, makes him a part of my family. I will always put your pet first. Whoever said diamonds are a girls best friend, must have never had a dog because no one can understand you more than your pet who you have grown to love and adore.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hickory Hills is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $20 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 1,931 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hickory Hills. 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hickory Hills. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
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.
