“Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.”

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.
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since childhood. I have an interest in all kinds of animals and I do not mind doing the dirty work to take care of them. I currently work 8-5 on weekdays, often ending at 4 or 4:30. I wake up early and can fit pet care into my morning before work and directly following work. In the morning, I can provide food and time outside/play time, and directly after work, I can provide a walk/exercise outside, and I can visit more times later in the evening as well. On weekends, I can come at any time of day, as many times as needed. I have a reliable form of transportation in the form of my own car, and I can very easily get from place to place. I live in the Frankfort suburbs, not too far from many places. In my own home, my pets stay in the house, and the dog is regularly taken outside for the bathroom, as well as getting walked once a day, sometimes twice. The cats do not go outside, and their litter gets cleaned once a day, but I can do more for your own pet. The dog is fed twice a day, and the cats are fed wet food once a day, with dry food available throughout the day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the majority of my life. I enjoy spending time with any animal, but I’m mainly a cat person. I’d love to care for your feline friends! Afternoons and evenings work best for me at this time, but I have a flexible schedule and I can work around your pet care needs. I am available to care for your animals at your home. I can give as much time and attention as needed, and I am committed to their happiness and comfort.
“Finn has been absolutely fantastic with my pup Bowser! Very flexible, clear communication, and attentive!! Bowser is high anxiety so having someone that he’s super comfortable with gives me all the confidence!!”
About: Growing up, I've always had animals in the house. To me, they're my babies! Being around animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I know how important it is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Being a dog mom myself, I understand the love (and sometimes anxiety!) that comes with trusting someone else to care for your babies. Having an energetic Boxer of my own has taught me how important it is to keep dogs active and entertained, while adopting a puppy who's nervous around men has taught me how important patience, trust, and letting a dog warm up at their own pace can be. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one feel happy and safe. I'm happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, drop-in visits, overnights, and just about anything else your babies might need! My goal is to make your pets feel right at home while giving you peace of mind! I'm currently in school, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8 AM to 11 AM, so I'm available the rest of the week for walks, drop-ins, day stays, and overnights. Having a dog of my own with lots of energy, I know that sometimes they just need a good walk, someone to throw the ball around with, or a little extra attention to keep them entertained while you're away. Every dog is different, so whatever your baby needs, please feel free to ask! Whether it's something simple or something specific to their routine, I'm happy to work with you and figure out what works best. Don't be afraid to reach out! Being a dog mom myself, I know how much love goes into caring for your fur babies and how nerve-racking it can be to leave them in someone else's care. I think it's important to keep their routine as normal as possible while you're away, from their usual feeding times and walks to potty breaks and playtime. I want them to feel comfortable in their own environment instead of feeling like everything has changed just because you're gone. I'm patient and attentive to each pet's personality and needs, and I'm always happy to send pictures and videos so you can see what your babies are up to! I miss my own even when I'm just running to the grocery store, so trust me, I get it. I'll happily send updates so you can feel connected to your babies while you're away.
About: I've had dogs my whole life, helped with training, and often would dog and house sit for friends and family. I've attended several dog training courses with some of my own dogs, as well as researching and practicing on my own. I've helped a close friend and my sister do basic training with their own dogs. I also have 2 cats, and am careful to adjust treatment of all my animals to their personality and needs! I am available Mon/Tues/Saturday. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday with advanced notice. I am only available Sundays and/or Fridays upon request and with at least 3 weeks notice. I currently work part time in the service industry and am getting ready to go back to school for a career change. My schedule is mostly flexible, but I do have a commitment to my other job as well. I'm happy to work with anyone who needs me during unavailable days, don't be afraid to ask and we can see if we can work it out! My dog is not dog friendly, so I do not do any care at my residence. However, it means I am experienced with dogs who need a bit more awareness in their care than others! I'm attentive and firm, and am willing to go for a 2 hour hike or rest in the house depending on their needs.
About: I've grown up with dogs all of my life. From puppies to seniors, small and big, I've taken care of them all. I've taken care of my dogs after surgeries and kept them comfortable and assisted them getting around safely. I have completed dog training classes with dogs and have taught them tricks! I have a huge place in my heart for all dogs and will take care of your dogs like they're my own! I am currently a stay at home mom with our 5 year old son. I would be available to take care of your dog(s) throughout the day. Israel, Jaxson and I live in a house with a fenced in yard with our 9 year old dog Sophie, a Wheaten Terrier. We love meeting new dogs and enjoy seeing our dog friends return for another visit! Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! I am a Stay At Home Mom with a 5 year old son and our dog, so I am available throughout the day to take care of any new dog friends. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company and stay active. We have gates we can put up while dogs eat to keep them separated and safe.
“Samantha was so sweet to our 2 kitties making sure they got the love they needed. She sent amazing updates, pictures and even offered to water my sad plant. This is the second time we booked with her and will book again.”

About: I love animals, I’m VERY passionate with their care and living standards. Animals comfortably are important to me. I treat all with love and respect. I am only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Due to my working schedule during the week I am unable to work On all days. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, following each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, and walks. I give plenty of attention, keep their space tidy, and ensure they feel loved and stress-free while in my care.
About: Dog lover all my life! Would love to meet more and ease your worries while apart from your babies. Please let me know how I can assist I’m not currently working at the moment and would be available for care any day of the week. Can offer many hugs and smiles with many pets. I will be able to come to you and or travel to dog parks near your neighborhood to care for your pups. Walk around the block?? No problem! I got you:)
About: I offer a home-based boarding experience designed for pets who deserve thoughtful, elevated care. My home is calm, beautifully maintained, and intentionally structured—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and personalized attention. I share my home with a 15-year-old miniature poodle, so I selectively welcome only gentle, compatible dogs to maintain a peaceful, low-stress environment. With limited capacity, each guest receives attentive supervision, individualized care, and a nurturing, high-quality stay. I’m enjoying early retirement and have chosen to devote my time to providing full-time, attentive care for dogs. This allows me to be consistently present, unhurried, and deeply focused on each guest’s comfort, routine, and overall well-being throughout their stay. I have a beautiful and clean spacious split level home for your fur baby to freely move around in. My home features a securely fenced yard designed for safe, supervised playtime. Dogs enjoy calm outdoor breaks and gentle activity in a controlled environment, always under attentive supervision to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.
About: I have had dogs since the day i was born. I have had 14 pit bulls all rescued besides 1. i also have a weimaraner. I have watched friends dogs while they were away for vacation or out of town. I currently work part time and my availability will change to being available after 2:30 this upcoming june. This is for weekdays and weekend are after 4:30 My dogs are crate trained and they are also able to be out of their crates all day as well. My dogs go on walks daily and are let to run around in our back together and are never left unattended
“Mara is simply the best—highly recommended! My husband and I have never trusted anyone outside of family to care for our two senior dogs. One requires medication, and the other is extremely anxious, so finding the right person felt overwhelming. Mara immediately put us at ease. She took the time to meet with me and my dogs before her scheduled visits and was incredibly patient while I learned how to use the app. Not only is she kind and attentive with my pets, but she is also very capable and handled their somewhat complicated care with confidence. She communicated clearly, letting me know when something came up without causing unnecessary worry, and managed every situation thoughtfully—even things I hadn’t anticipated. Mara is responsive, flexible, and truly easy to work with. When I needed to add a service last minute, she responded right away and accommodated my request without hesitation. I can’t say enough good things—she is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly reliable. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs.”


About: I’ve owned many dogs and have taken care of and pet sit for my family and friends. I really enjoy the company and the energy that animals bring. I will match that energy that they have. I am off of school for the whole summer. So I need something to do during the day so I do not go insane from not having anything to do. I love giving attention to my clients animals and make sure they are having fun and that they are comfortable. I make sure they have used the bathroom and I am also very good at reading the animals body language. I have been around a lot of animals as I’ve grown up.

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.
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 Homer Glen 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
