“Rena was communicative, on-time and patient with Garbanzo! He is wary of strangers and she made sure he was comfortable and taken care of. We would definitely use Rena again and plan on reaching out in the future.”
“Casey and Hung are a rockstar team. They always take amazing care of our kitties and house while we are away, ensuring our driveway is clean from ice and snow and that all of our packages/mail are taken in. As always they were very flexible when our travel plans changed at the last minute on our most recent trip. Huge thank you to both of them!”
“Kaylee did a great job. Very communicative and flexible when there was issues with our garage door opener while we were away. Glad to have her able to check in on our dog while we were away for a trip.”
“HIRE THIS PETSITTER!!! Brittany was everything we wanted in a pet sitter and more. She was exceptionally professional, dependable, and gave our pets the best care possible. My girlfriend and I had not hired a pet sitter before and were a bit anxious leaving our pets in someone else’s care. As soon as we met Brittany as well as throughout our vacation, our anxieties were relieved. Our cats are usually nervous of strangers, but immediately our cats were comfortable with her presence. Every day, she took treasured photos of our pets and sent us a detailed update of how our keeps seemed to be doing. Our pets looked carefree and relaxed and really seemed to love Brittany’s visits. Knowing our pets were in Brittany’s care made our vacation that much better. She is a very passionate pet sitter; she loves her job and caring for animals and it shows. If you hire Brittany, you won’t be disappointed!!”
About: Hello, My name is Sue and I have had cats for over 20 years and I am a German Shepard grandma and help with all her training. I am loving and caring and treat my animals like family. I am reliable and loving. If you want some to treat your pet like family then look no further I am the women for the job. I am currently working full time 630am-3pm M-F but if you are close to me I get an hour lunch where I can take your pet for a walk if need be or come by to give some treats and pets. But I am available after 3 for walks, loves and dinner. I am a loving caring cat mom/dog grandma who will treat your fur babies like my own!! I will spoil them with hugs and kisses and maybe some treats ;)
About: I’ve taken care of four legged fur babies since I was 10. Neighbors, family, and friends have counted on me to walk, feed, and love all their animals since as long as I can remember! Your pet will be like my own for the time I care for them :)) I take care of 4 cats every day so pet care comes as a second nature for me! Adding some new fur babies to the routine would be a blast! I’ve got experience with all different species. Ranging from as small as a Guinea pig, to as big as a horse. I know their basic care regimens and a knack for learning new things! I have so much love to give your sweet babies but that’s not all. I take each pet’s schedule seriously and try to accommodate it to the best of my ability. Almost as if you never left! I do work full time but I stay at your house as if their schedule becomes mine!
About: I own a GSD/Shar Pei Mix named Moose and have learned a lot since rescuing her in 2023. I've been volunteering at local shelters since then, where I care for dogs of varying ages. Earlier this year, I completed a three-month internship with the Penn Vet Working Dog Center where we trained dogs in obedience, agility, scent work, husbandry, and more. I'm currently working part-time and studying to become a dog trainer. So I'm looking for every opportunity to walk and care for dogs of any ages and size to get all the experience I can! I will generally be available after 2pm on weekdays and am flexible on the weekends. I am very laid back and will work with you on whatever works best for walks/letting them out to stretch their legs and have some fun.
About: I have two years of experience training puppies (potty/crate training and beginner-advanced commands). I'm patient and let dogs sniff around as much as they please on walks so they get all that good sensory stimulation! I also live near a dog park, and I love taking dogs out to run around and play. Luckily enough, I work from home and am able to watch dogs throughout the day and night, with the ability to take dogs out on as needed bathroom breaks and to play with/train/walk them a throughout the day. Dogs can feel super safe and comfortable at my home! I have a small fenced backed patio with a grassy area. Since I have a small dog, my home is fairly dog-proof. I have multiple dog beds and a play area, not to mention a big selection of toys to choose from!
About: Hi! I’m Karen, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both small and large pets. I’ve cared for everything from my hamster in high school to my sister’s German Shepherd, Kratos, and I’m currently a proud cat mom to two senior cats, Leo and Toast. Beyond my own pets, I regularly care for my friends’ cats and dogs when they’re out of town. I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has their own quirks and needs. I’ve even had experience working with aggressive or anxious cats, as one of my own cats, Leo, can be quite the little spicy guy! I’m comfortable around both small and large animals, and while I may be small myself, I’m mighty when it comes to handling pets. I’m patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet’s boundaries, and I’ll always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a walk, some playtime, a meal, a clean litter box, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d be happy to give them the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I’m currently working a 9-5 in Glenview, available weekends, flexible Monday and Fridays (wfh days), I’m able to visit after work! Just let me know what you need and I’ll make sure you and your babies are taken care of. I always respect each pet’s boundaries and follow their owner’s instructions and routines. I make sure their basic needs are taken care of, while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection if they’re comfortable with it. I’ll get everything that needs to be done done, but I also like to go above and beyond—whether that means spending a little extra time with them, giving them some extra playtime, or sending updates and photos so their owners know they’re happy and cared for.
About: I've loved and taken care of so many dpgs when I was 5-15 my family would foster all sorts of dogs. I currently own 2 dogs and I would love to take care of your pet as well! Currently I am available all day. Next week I go back into work and ill be cable to take care of pups or cats after 230pm I currently live in an apartment but I can walk great lengths to make sure the pup is as tired as they can be. If you have a fenced in yard I can play with the pup in there! I know how to change litter boxes for cats too!
About: My family and I love dogs. We also love cats, but unfortunately I’m allergic to them. We’ve raised three dogs over the years and currently have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever named Jax. I pretty much work from home and have a 4 year old Golden Retreiver named Jax so our routine is already made for a dog. I have a fenced in back yard. Your dog will have a playmate in Jax. I enjoy going out and playing fetch with Jax although he's not much of a fetch guy. He enjoys me faking like I'm going to chase him and then he gets the zoomies and runs around the yard like a crazy boy.
About: I pride myself on my strong sense of responsibility and scheduling discipline, meaning I will always be on time for walks and strictly follow your pet's specific care instructions. I love staying active and exercising, so your dog will get the perfect amount of outdoor fun, playtime, and fresh air. I treat every single pet as if they were a part of my own family, making sure they are completely safe and comfortable. You can count on me for regular updates, quick communication, and lots of love for your furry best friend! As a college student taking online classes this summer, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I have the freedom to manage my own time. I am a very physically active person who loves exercising and going on long walks. Since I live surrounded by beautiful green areas, I can easily incorporate energetic walks and outdoor playtime into my day, ensuring your pet gets the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, midday visits, or evening companionship, my flexible schedule allows me to be there whenever they need me most. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and strict adherence to routine are my top priorities. I am highly organized and disciplined, so I follow all feeding, medication, and cleaning instructions exactly as requested to maintain a stress-free environment. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, and I keep a close eye on the pet's body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I love exploring the surrounding green trails for long, safe walks, always keeping dogs securely leashed. You will receive regular updates and photos, giving you total peace of mind knowing your home is respected and your pet is receiving dedicated, loving care.

Maggy was wonderful with our cat, Suki! He isn’t the most people-friendly cat, but he got along really well with Maggy. She was attentive, caring, and always made sure Suki had everything he needed. We really appreciated the updates and care she provided while we were away. We would definitely book with Maggy again! :)
Kristina was wonderful at taking care of Saga. She was kind, caring and loving. She was great at following directions related to her medication and food. Also, she was prompted answering all my questions. I appreciate your help and support when I was away from home. Thank you.
Abby has continually made herself available, even at a days notice, to take care of my Golden Retriever and has went above and beyond to care for him while I’m away! I feel fortunate for her willingness and confident in her care. I will continue booking with her as long as I can!

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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.

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 .
