“Yat (Agnes) did a fantastic job looking after my senior cat while I was away. We met prior to the sitting visits. She made sure she had a clear understanding of everything she would need to do for my cat. Followed instructions perfectly, was consistently on time, and sent me plenty of pictures each time she visited. When we returned my cat was calm and relaxed. I will definitely book with her again.”
“If you need a phenomenal pet sitter, Ashton is the one! Absolutely incredible service from start to finish. My fur babies were totally obsessed, and getting such great updates everyday made being away so much easier. 10 out of 10, would recommend!”
About: I'm an active animal lover who loves the company of dogs. I've grown up surrounded by animals-- two chihuahuas and a french bulldog. I am a Stanford student who is unfortunately unable to live with a pet due to dorm restraints, which makes me even more excited to spend time with yours! I am a student with a car and a very flexible schedule. I have no problem coming to your house frequently to provide all the care your pet(s) need! I abide by the rules and routines set by the pet owner to ensure the pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in my care. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions related to medications, grooming, or behavioral needs to create the best experience possible!
“After having to have an emergency scheduling Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, she was quick to reply, communicative, respectful and very kind. She gave us constant updates on our cat Freyja along with photos. We would happily use her services again.”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She sent photos of Cricket’s food and water bowls each visit and kept her litter box clean. Although Cricket hid the entire time, I felt extremely comfortable trusting Stephanie with her. I will definitely book with Stephanie again :)”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or cozy cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work in education, so I am available in the late afternoons and evenings during the week. My weekend availability is generally very open. :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat each animal like they’re my own: with love, patience, and respect. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving medication, going for long walks, or offering extra cuddles and playtime. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I’m happy to send updates and photos to keep you at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to provide consistency and care so your pet feels safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.
“Jo’Ell is amazing with our puppy! First and foremost, she is always on time and always communicates with us about our puppy. She provides several photos and engages with our puppy. The best is that she brings over different toys and puzzles to help our puppy learn and stimulate their brain. I could not ask for a better person to help us with our dog. Thank you so much.”
“We had a great experience with Brandon. Very easy to communicate with, everything went as planned. Brandon is a reliable, seasoned caretaker with an obvious love for dogs. We will definitely hope to have Brandon take care of our dog again in the future!”
“Melanie was great! She came at the expected times and sent lots of pics. She spent time playing with our 2 kitties, which we appreciated. We look forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Collette kept us informed on the well-being of our cats for our whole trip, which made it so much easier to enjoy ourselves. She was able to coax our shy and introverted kitty out of hiding while we were gone, and took very good care of both.”
“Sophie did a wonderful job caring for our two cats! She was thorough and asked questions when necessary. She tried to engage both of our cats each day, which we appreciated. She even gave us a gift to come home to, which was really sweet!”
About: I love animals and want to help you care for them the easiest and most efficient way possible. If you are looking to book or schedule me please note I can only do any clients that are at least 35 minutes away or less. (Unless I am positive I can walk your pal if you are a bit farther than usual and I am able to do bookings) In prior to booking me please let me know your furry friends quirks, habits, personality and any kind of other information I would need to know about your pet pal! I can work any time between September 14-September 24 and then I am unavailable from September 25- October 2. After October 2 I am available again any time and day of the week. Please tell me what you’d like for your dog/cats walk or drop in and let me know how they are with strangers. As well let me be aware if any animals don’t get along or shouldn’t get out and to inform me if your dog is aggressive/ shy/ nervous / or playful to other dogs. I will make it clear I do not do off leash walking for safety of your dog other dogs and myself. :)
About: Dogs, cats, you name it - I love ‘em. As an animal lover and owner myself, I also have years of experience working in animal rescues caring for stray cats and dogs. This has been helpful with learning to be patient and able to adapt to each animals specific needs. However they need me to show up for them, I’m there. They need extensive cuddles? Count me in. They need me to just hangout and watch from a distance? Bummer, but I’ll respect their space. Whatever you need, I got you! 🩷 At the moment, I do work 8am-4pm. I work less than 10 minutes from home so often stop home for lunch. Other than work, I’m often home nightly and spend my nights/weekends relaxing with a book or working on whatever my newest crafting obsession is. I have two cats, Zoe and Ziti. They can be separated in the basement if need be. I offer a large crate if you prefer your dog to be crate trained. We have a large, fully fenced in yard that’s just begging to be a dogs playground!
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, starting with my own family’s dogs and eventually helping care for pets around my neighborhood. My passion for animal care led me to earn a B.S. in Animal Science with a focus on Companion Animals from the University of Minnesota. During my time there, I held animal care positions at three different zoological institutions, including Brookfield Zoo. I’m excited for the opportunity to care for your pets and provide a safe, happy, and enriching experience, whether it’s during a walk or a home visit! I am currently working part-time so I look forward to playing with your pets! Right now I have more availability than usual and can handle several walks or check-ins during the day! I have a car and am able to drive to and from your home. I will follow all instructions when it comes to caring for your pets. You know what is best for your own furry friends. Every animal is special and some need more attentions than others. I look forward to getting to learn about your fur-baby’s quarks!
“Tamara is awesome. She went above and beyond. Even though we have a pup who can be difficult/aggressive, he always looked so happy in the pictures and videos that we received. We would book with her again in a heartbeat.”
About: I have taken care of my family dog and cat for 13 years. We had a yorkie and bengal cat growing up and recently got a lab. My family cat had epilepsy and I helped administer a pill he takes twice a day. I am currently working full time and would love to spend my extra time watching your pet. I absolutely love dogs and cats and would have a great time caring for your furry friends! I will utilize all tools needed in caring for your pet. I will play with, feed, and care for your pet. During house visits, I will make sure all doors and windows are locked when leaving. I am currently working full time with some flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend my free time looking after your furry best friend! I enjoy playing and having fun. I will feed your pet, provide regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of time to get out their energy and run around.
About: I have been an avid animal lover as a child and have owned cats, bunnies and currently a 100 pound bernedoodle! I love taking care of animals and have experience administering medicine. I have previous dog walking experience aside from my own giant puppy. I currently live in Westmont IL with a lot of space and a quiet safe neighborhood for long walks. I work remote for 3 days out of the week so I am flexible with drop in visits and walks. My dog would love a playmate during the day as well, so if you need me to babysit at my place there's plenty of room. I have a friendly bernedoodle who loved to play and has moved with us 3 times to different states! He gets daily long walks, plays with us, and gets treats. We like to take him to explore different parks and trails in the area.
About: As someone who’s loved my cats and dogs as part of my family, I will go above and beyond to take great care of your pet! My years of volunteering at an animal shelter have given me experience with cats and dogs of all ages with various temperaments and medical needs. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or checking in on your cat at home, I’ll treat your pets with the love and care I’ve given to my own over the years. No matter what service you’re looking for, I’d love to send photo and text updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hinsdale
Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.
We hate to leave our Percy home when traveling, but Jayme took such great care of him. This was our first experience on Rover and I hope all caregivers are as kind and professional as Jayme! She guided us through the Rover process and, most importantly, made a real connection with our pup. Great communication and sent lots of pictures.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hinsdale is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 12,725 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hinsdale. 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 .
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 , 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 Hinsdale. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
