About: I have always been an animal lover my whole life. I currently have a dog named Snowball who is 16 years old, he has been my best friend growing up. Taking care of him has taught me many skills such as bathing,walking, and medicine administration. I recently got a cat named Peanut! He is a sweetheart and gets along with Snowball :) I am looking forward to helping families out and meeting some new pet friends! I am currently home for summer! I recently graduated from Illinois State University and will be heading to graduate school in Romeoville in August. I am looking for jobs throughout the summer! I will treat your pet like my own! I am very energetic, responsible, and flexible. I will ensure that your pet and their needs are properly taken care of. I can easily adapt to different needs and situations when sitting. I am looking forward to making you and your pet happy!
“Kinga was great and our dog loved her!! Took her for long walks each visit and always sent pictures of their time together! We will definitely continue to use her services in the future!”
About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.
About: I’ve have grown up in a house with both cats and dogs, very comfortable with large breeds of dogs. I take the time to get to know each animal individually. I work full time and have availability usually everyday after 5pm. I am also available anytime on the weekends as I have those off work. I will follow any house rules and will do what I can to make your pets comfortable with me being in their homes to help take care of them in any way that they need.
About: Aspiring to get into Vet school. Passionate animal lover. I tend to understand and connect with them more than your average person. All about empathy. I work on the weekends which means my weekdays consist of working towards my goals, learning new things and making extra money. Hanging with my cats is an everyday thing. Im full of understanding, empathy, and love to share with all animals and pet owners while efficiently attending to whatever the task at hand is.
About: Hello, my name is Brien and I have been a part of the Rover community now for over 2 years and have had the privilege and opportunity to meet so many great families and their furry companions! They say “Dog is a man’s best friend” and Rover has allowed myself, my furry friends, and family to continuously love and make your dog(s) feel like they have a home away from home. For my previous clients. It is with much sadness that my big guy Bentley has crossed the rainbow bridge I have no doubt he is taking unlimited naps and eating all the bones his heart desires and misses all his furry friends. But with Bentley’s loss brought us our rescue pup, Tee-Jay! She is a Catahoula Leopard Dog (Fun Fact: Her breed is the State Dog of Louisiana). I also have an 11-year-old daughter who loves animals just as much as me! Currently, I offer a variety of services, whether you are looking for someone to care for your pets while you travel, or if you are in need of a regular pet sitter to drop in as needed. My home has a fenced in backyard, with plenty of space to run, play fetch and squirrels to chase. I take pride in providing the best service/care to your pet(s) which is why I will only host your pet(s) during your booked time! My family, Tee-Jay and I would love to meet you and pet(s)! So between everyone in the family a regular work/school day pups will be alone for 5ish hours. After that the play time begins for everyone Your dog’s safety is a priority. I have a fenced in yard as well as a covered porch for rainy days. Tee-jay can easily be crated if needed, you pet needs some time to itself.
“Kaylyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and ensured Chloe was enjoying her stay while getting in a good mix of cuddles and exercise. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your fur babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 8. Growing up I had bunnies, hamsters, fish, and dogs. I currently have 2 dogs of my own. I love the innocence that interacting with animals brings! I currently am available for pet care Monday-Friday, mornings and afternoons. I work from 3-10 and can be very reliable outside of those hours! If it’s reliability and consistency you’re looking for, I can provide that. . I have no problem handling multiple dogs at once on walks/hikes. I love getting out and enjoying fresh air, especially when I have a furry companion!
“I was going out of state over Christmas week, and needed Someone to check in on my just over 1 y/o cat Oliver for the time we were gone...I have heard of Rover, and decided to use... Angela was a life saver being available for my specific time fame! We kept in text contact also, while I was out of state...she was super thorough in sending pictures and detailed information on her daily check ins with Oliver, which really was reassuring! I would definitely use Angela/ this website in the future and would recommend rAngela to anyone who was searching for a great fur baby sitter! Thank you again Angela 🙂”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. Aside from my own pets, I went to Wilco and did their Vet Assistant class my senior year. I took care of a variety of animals, including ferrets and bearded dragons. I loved health care, but would like to go into Radiology once I complete the prerequisites. I am currently a pharmacy technician in training. I work evenings Sunday-Thursday, so I am perfect for mid-work walks or weekend sittings. If given advance notice, I am able to adjust my schedule. I own 2 dogs, one is a pitbull mix and the other is a husky. I am comfortable with high energy dogs and enjoy long walks. I had a senior dog who passed last year at 15.

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 Joliet 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.
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 Joliet 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Joliet with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
