About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for the last 7-8 years for my family, friends, and neighbors. They have trusted me with walking, feeding, and overall loving their furry friends! When my family first got our dog in 2020, I assisted in training him and learning how to take care of a puppy. I have also helped to take care of my roommates pet dog and cat in these last few months as well! During the summer of 2024, my dog suddenly went paralyzed and lost function of his back legs. We had to learn how to take care of him and walk him using unconventional ways, while teaching him how to learn to walk again, so I have experience with a dog who has been partially disabled (but he has regained his ability to walk and is doing great!!) I recently graduated from Miami University, Ohio with my masters degree in speech-language pathology. I just moved back to Illinois and am looking to do some dog walking and pet care/love this summer before starting a new job in the schools this upcoming August as a speech-language pathologist. I will adhere to any requests that the client has. I am willing to put them in their crates, give them treats, play with them in the yard, or go for a nice long walk with them. It really comes down to the clients preference and I will stick to their normal routine!!
“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!”
“Elodie took great care of my dog! She showed up exactly at the agreed-upon time for each visit. Elodie is very friendly and easy to work with with. I’ll definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals! I’m home from college until August 10th. I’m available all day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8 AM–3PM for dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits for both cats and dogs! I’m also available on weekends and am flexible with timing. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe. I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.
“Iwonka was AMAZING! Our 18 year old cat doesn’t always take to strangers, but Callie loved Iwonka! She immediately warmed up to her and would follow her around the whole time she visited. Iwonka was kind, professional, and so sweet. She followed all the directions we had for giving Callie her medicine and quirks about her. We loved seeing photos of Callie while we were away and knew she was in the best hands! We absolutely will be using Iwonka again for Cat sitting when we are in need. She was quick to respond to our messages and kept our house very clean (cleaned up some puke and a poop accident as well as put all the food and water dishes in the dishwasher). We cannot thank her enough for making our sweet, old girl so happy while we were away!!”
About: I have taken care of animals for it seems like my whole life. I have experience administering medication both orally and through syringes and love to spoil dogs when walks and cuddles. I work for a school district so I my school day runs from 7:30-2:30, so no pet would be alone for long. I can do weekdays and weekends. I have experience going into someone’s home and watching their animals from there. I find it’s easier for on them when they are in their own home environment. I follow your routine and instructions and will let you know if I have any questions or anything comes up.
“Alyssa did great, taking care of everything that was needed, and going the extra mile to make sure all the cats were OK, even though Sherbert was deeply afraid of her. I felt so much better leaving my kitties behind knowing she was watching out.”
“Rachael is so sweet and so good with my shy boy! She made sure to spend time and play with his favorite toys and went above and beyond!! So grateful my boy got to spend time with her while I was gone!”
“Maddie has consistently taken fantastic care of my cat (including administering medication), and she's quickly become my go-to pet-sitter whenever I go out of town. I can't recommend her enough!”
About: I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way! I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am available all day Fridays and Sundays. And full days every other Saturday, because I work a half day every other. Can make some weeknights work, depending on the situation. I have a fully fenced in yard, so no need to worry about keeping your babies safe. Backyard comes with two super friendly dogs who love playtime with friends!
“Mary was awesome. I was very comfortable having her take care of our dog. That day had some inclement weather and she checked in to see how Kane does in the rain. He was a very happy boy when we got home, we will definitely use Mary again!”
“Elizabeth was great! I was nervous about leaving my senior, shy dog home alone with a new drop-in sitter but Elizabeth took great care of her. She was very professional and showed up on time for every appointment. She also kept me updated on how my dog was doing and included plenty of pictures. When we got home everything was neat and tidy and my dog was calm. We were so happy with her services and we highly recommend her.”
“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 loved dogs my whole life and have owned three of my own, giving me firsthand experience with their daily care, exercise, and companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I also have cared for two mini doodles for several weeks over the past few summers, along with the families pet lizard and guinea pig. Additionally, I regularly volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I walk and play with dogs of all sizes and help feed and socialize cats. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to check in on your pets throughout the day! I can also take your dogs out for walks, multiple times a day if needed. I will follow instructions you leave to make sure I am giving your pets everything they need. I have no problem taking dogs to dog parks or for long walks depending on their needs.
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.
About: I am an animal lover, through and through. Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds… you name it. I treat my guest animals like my own and love on them as much as possible. I enjoy taking cute portraits of the pets in my care and I send lots of photos and written updates. I currently have a Aussie/Pit mix and have had Doberman Pinschers in the past from puppies through old age until the rainbow bridge. I’m patient with puppies and elderly animals. I check to see which commands they know and how they have been trained to keep them consistent in my care, and have experience administering medications to them. Before joining Rover, I frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently fully remote and based at home. I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. My schedule may change in the future but I will update my info when that happens. I have one 7 year old dog in my home, whom I have had since she was a puppy. I have a spare bedroom to host guests with their crates and belongings but during the day they are with me, within line of sight in my home. My yard is fenced (4ft) and only two steps to the yard from the door. There are no children living in my home. I live is a quiet neighborhood and can go for walks as needed.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Huntley is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntley
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.

- 94% 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.
