“Janet is our go-to Rover when it comes to caring for our pets. Always does an excellent job at giving them attention and care. She is an excellent communicator - highly recommended!”
“A fantastic dog sitter…was our first time with Alyssa and she delivered everything we asked for and more! Super prompt, great “report cards” and such cute pictures. Will hire her again and again!”
“I can’t thank Ivonka enough for taking the time to watch my cats over the holidays! They all warmed up to her super quickly and I know they were in good hands this week with someone who has an amazing passion of caring for animals. I received lots of photos of them having a fun time playing and eating their meals while I was out of town. I highly recommend her services!”
“Rachael did an amazing job taking care of our babies! We loved the photo and video updates at each session! We would definitely rebook and recommend anyone else to book with Rachael! Thanks!!”
“Lyssa is amazing with my puppy and working around my ever changing schedule. She is always on time and I never have to worry about my pup. The pictures she sends of my puppy during the visits, my dog looks really happy. Glad I chose Lyssa out of all of the local people on Rover.”
About: Hi there! I am so excited to finally be making my pet-sitting official with Rover. I am still new-ish to the area after having moved back in with my parents a little less than a year ago (originally from New Jersey, then moved to California for college and work). I have had the pleasure of taking care of my family dog (Winnie the Cavapoo) since we got her 9 years ago. Hanging out with her is one of my favorite things to do, and she truly makes each day better with every walk we go on and every cuddle we share. I've also gotten to dog-sit for some of my best friends and locals while I was in college, and it really helped me whenever I was missing my Winnie girl! My only hope is to provide you with peace of mind that your pup is in good hands with me! My schedule is pretty wide open and flexible! If there is a time/day on my schedule that looks unavailable, message me and I'll see if I can move things around to make it work (as I share a car with a family member). If you need me to come over and pet-sit at your home, I will respect all the rules you provide me with so you are comfortable with having me in your home while I watch your fur baby. Please let me know in advance to your booking if your pet is allowed on furniture, or in certain areas of your home, and what/where are absolute no-go's, so I can remember to keep them away from those areas. If you use a crate with them, please let me know how you use it with them - if they must be crated the entirety of time while indoors aside from meal and potty times, or if for certain periods of time. If you have a backyard that is fenced and secure, I am comfortable with letting them of their leash (if you permit it) so they have free reign to run around, but if it is not an enclosed space, I am not comfortable letting them off their leash, even if they are trained perfectly - just want to be safe and take all the precautions I can to make sure they are safe while with me!
“I could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover. Mary was absolutely a dream to have come over and take care of my boys. She sent me a bunch of pictures of both of my dogs and made sure that they were loved while we were away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I feel blessed to have found her.”
About: I've had pets my whole life. It started with the kitten I found in the empty lot next to my home when I was just a little kid. I had multiple types of cats and dogs my whole life, occasionally taking in strays. Friends and family used to call me an animal whisperer because even the most shy pets would let me meet them. I'm super gentle with animals, respect their "person"-hood, but at the same time I'm a big guy and can easily walk your big dog. I had a German Shepherd/Lab mix, as well as a Belgium Malinois (not at the same time!). I took both through pet training courses. I also had a King Charles spaniel that I adopted. I had 3 main cats throughout my life, though several found/rescued ones throughout. My last cat had asthma and I had to give it an inhaler, so I have experience administering medication (I've had to give shots at various times as well). I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can slip away from a walk almost any time, though I do have occasional meetings I need to attend. I have daily meetings at 11am which usually don't last more than 15-30 mins. I'm happy to follow whatever rules you have in place for your pets. The time I spend with them can be a nice changeup in their routine, to give them something to look forward to. I understand that pets feel like kids to some of us, and will always keep their joy and safety in mind.
“Alphonse was accurate in his care details, attentive to our pets and they took to him nicely. Job well done. I'm also glad he asked pertinent questions when necessary. I would definitely request his services again.”
“Eloise was fantastic! She followed all of our instructions, and our dog and cat seemed to genuinely love having her take care of them. She was available for a drop in last minute, and sent over very cute photos and videos. Will definitely be hiring her again!”
“Elizabeth was great! She took care of our cat while we were gone for the weekend. She was very communicative and clearly took great care of our cat. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.
About: Aside from my two dogs and guinea pigs at home I have worked at a doggy daycare from October 2025-April 2026 due to it being our slow season and there’s not much work for me. I normally helped with the feedings and looking after the dogs, making sure they are behaving and no fights breakout while keeping the area clean as possible and taking them out for potty breaks every hour. I have done many volunteer sessions at the animal house in Huntley I love taking care of the animals while being able to give them some attention! Hi, my name is Halie. I’m 20 years old and animals have always been my biggest passion since I was a little girl doesn’t matter if it’s fur, scales, wet or slimy I can never get enough!!! At home I have 2 dogs Bobo and Church plus 2 super cute guinea pigs named B and Kevin all 4 are me and my familys everything I’m always trying to find new exciting things for them to do and try I also have worked at a doggy daycare, done lots of volunteering with dogs and cats, and I help out with watching my neighbors dogs time to time. Right now while I’m trying to find a new full time job with animals I’ve decided to give pet sitting for other people a try so for now I’m available Monday through Sunday all day long. I would not be comfortable hosting dogs at my house due to the fact I do not have a fence for my backyard and my dogs aren’t the friendliest towards other dogs i would never want my animals or someone else’s to be put in any dangerous situations like that but im willing to follow all care instructions at a clients home to ensure 100% safety happiness and health!!!! :)
About: I have loved animals—especially cats since childhood. They have been a part of my life all along. I had my own cat for 13 years and loved looking after and caring for him. For the time being, I don't work on certain days, so I can spend the whole day with your pet and give them all my love! I love showing affection and taking an interest in spending time with pets—whether at my own home or a client's because every animal deserves attention.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, my commitment goes beyond basic care. I bring a unique set of skills and a genuine love for animals that ensures your pets receive the highest level of attention and care. I understand that every pet has its own personality, preferences, and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet individually, tailoring my care to ensure they feel comfortable and loved. I believe in keeping pets active and entertained. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or engaging in interactive toys, I make sure your pets have fun and get the exercise they need. My schedule is flexible during the weekend During the week I’m not available in the morning but I am flexible in the afternoon or if we need to add another week day. I am well-versed in pet first aid ensuring your pet’s safety at all times. I also keep a close eye on their health, looking out for any signs of distress or illness.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntley
Janet is so kind and flexible with her schedule. I booked pretty last minute and she was happy to accommodate. My pet was very well cared for while we were away. This is the first time we have had someone other than family take care of our pet. I felt very comfortable leaving our pet in Janet's care and will be using her from now on. I highly recommend.
Grayson took wonderful care of our cat, Kitty Kelly, while we were away. He was reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Kitty Kelly was in such good hands. When we came home, Kitty Kelly was happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We truly appreciate everything Grayson did and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We would happily have him care for Kitty Kelly again!
I needed an emergency sitter on very short notice, and Ji was amazing. Ji was responsive, communicative, and reassuring the entire time, which meant the world to me during a really stressful day. Knowing my pups were safe, happy, and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for their help and would absolutely book with them again.
Lyssa is amazing with my puppy and working around my ever changing schedule. She is always on time and I never have to worry about my pup. The pictures she sends of my puppy during the visits, my dog looks really happy. Glad I chose Lyssa out of all of the local people on Rover.
Megan did an outstanding job of caring for Katie our cat. From the time we first contracted her, she kept us well informed. She came to meet us and Katie in advance of the booking and send us pictures and a narrative at each visit. She even brought in our newspapers. We would highly recommend Megan if you need someone to care for your pet.

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 Huntley 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.
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 Huntley. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
