About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly believe that pets are family. In my professional life, I am a social worker, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same compassion extends to animals, and I recognize the important role they play in our lives as companions, sources of comfort, and beloved members of the family. As a dedicated and dependable house sitter, I provide loving, attentive care while ensuring your home is safe, secure, and well-maintained during your absence. My experience includes caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals, each with their own unique personalities and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply maintaining their regular routine, I take the time to make them feel comfortable, loved, and secure while you're away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they are receiving exceptional care and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a social worker, I have built my career around caring for others, and I enjoy providing the same level of attention and compassion to animals. I am organized, dependable, and able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I make sure each pet receives consistent attention and care. I also work well with established routines and will do my best to maintain your pet's normal schedule to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away. My goal is always to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for the pets in my care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow their established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, so I take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and unique personalities. I provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also maintain open communication with pet owners and provide regular updates so they can have peace of mind while they are away.

“This was my first time using “Rover” and chose Chelsie after reading her numerous positive reviews. This was a last minute decision and I had Chelsie meet with our daughter at our house since my wife and I were out of state. Chelsie was local and met with our daughter to meet our dogs. Chelsie came over to house for three separate days for 30 mins each day. Chelsie would upload photos and give daily progress reports and upload to the “Rover” for our review. This brought comfort to us and had complete confidence our dogs were in great hands. Chelsie went above and beyond.. We definitely will use Chelsie’s service again in the future. Highly recommend!!”

About: I have two dogs at home- a pugle and a lab! I love to walk my dogs and train them (+ spoil them). I also have experience with other dogs and cat sitting! I am a basketball player at AU university. I am pretty flexible around my basketball and school schedule! Weekends are a lot more flexible for longer periods of time. I love to play with dogs and take them on daily walks:) I would love to schedule a visit to get a feel for what I’m working with before I help out with your dog!

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog until he passed. He was 16yrs old. I also take care of my sisters dog. He is a Husky/ German Shepard mix. My dog recently passed and I miss walking him. His daily walks were 7am and 6:30pm. I’m also opened to walking your dog on weekends. I have a huge fenced yard and a one floor home to reduce stair climbing for senior dogs. I have a car seat for small dogs and do enjoy taking them on DQ runs with the owners permission.

About: I’ve taken care of our own, family and friends dogs since I was a kid. I previously worked with a dog walking company in college. I currently have my own, a 3-year-old Cavapoo named Berlioz who I adore. I look forward to hopefully meeting your furry friend! My schedule is pretty flexible right now. I am working part-time, so I can be available whenever needed. I prefer weekdays, but am willing to do weekends. Timing is flexible as well :) I have a fenced-in yard, and two dogs at the house. They are both under 20 pounds, but friendly. I can also keep dogs separated if needed.

About: I have been dog sitting or walking for the last seven years. Also, I worked for a dog daycare for about 2 years. I'm experienced in giving medication and getting stubborn dogs to eat their food. I'm comfortable walking any size or breed of dog. I will be available through the summer and possibly during the school year. The daily or weekly care depends on how many pets I'm caring for at a time. Between the end of August to the beginning of May, I can sit on the weekends. I do require a meeting with owners and the dogs before I dog sit. I'm comfortable to come to my clients home to care for them. If that is taking for a walk or just spending some time with them. I have two friendly beagles that love anyone and a fenced in back yard. I do have a crate of it is need.

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I’ve been around dogs and helping care for them since I was 10, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I also currently have a one-year-old puppy of my own, so I’m very familiar with energetic dogs, maintaining routines, reinforcing good behavior, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I always make sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re playful and active or prefer a calmer environment. Pet parents can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of photos for peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’m currently in grad school and work for a local school district, which means I have summers off and additional flexibility throughout the year. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when possible. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m already used to maintaining consistent feeding, potty, exercise, and play schedules, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I make sure every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve while their owners are away. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they can feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I make sure pets stay on their normal schedule with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m respectful of each home and always keep pet areas clean, secure, and safe. Because I have a one-year-old puppy of my own, I’m very mindful about supervision, consistency, and creating a positive environment for animals. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I have always had animals and I have a genuine love for animals of all kinds. Spending time with pets doesn’t feel like a job to me — it’s something I truly enjoy. I’m naturally attentive, gentle, and patient, and I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s pet very seriously. My job is flexible so I have the time and availability to assist with whatever your needs are. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needing a calm presence, I adapt to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to following your instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent while you’re away. You can count on me to provide regular updates and photos, so you always feel connected and reassured. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness, attention, and respect that I would want for my own. I would love the opportunity to earn your trust and care for your furry family member. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to devote to your babies! My schedule allows me to fully devote myself to whatever instructions you leave, even if it's time consuming. I will love and enjoy every minute of interacting with and loving on your pet(s). When caring for pets in your home, I am respectful, responsible, and detail-oriented. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as instructed to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure your home remains clean and secure, double-checking doors and gates each visit. I pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being, and I communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always feel confident and informed. My goal is to provide safe, reliable care you can truly trust.

About: 10+ years of training and taking care of dogs. Have 2 amazing dogs myself. People say me and dogs have a connection. There’s never been a dog that doesn’t like me, even the “meanest” of the bunch. Treat every dog like my own. I work completely remote from the comfort of my house. I have plenty of time to do pet care. I am available on a days notice. Ready to do as many visits and take care of as many beautiful pups as possible! I will only be doing drop in visits or walks at other peoples homes. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Making sure I abide by directions and rules given by the owner. Dogs sense a good person and I promise they will sense that with me. Me and dogs have a super connection some people can’t explain

About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets, ages, and have even done a little training. My experience stems from running my own pet sitting business in the Northwoods of WI for 4 years. I am currently a student at NIU so I will be scheduling around my classes. Monday/Wednesday I have class usually 9am-4pm & Tuesday/Thursday from 1pm-4:30pm. I will take gigs after class at night but please keep in mind that I’m an active student & my schedule may change based on other commitments. I also go home to WI to see my family so please just communicate with me! School comes first so I am specifically looking for lower maintenance gigs so I can manage my academic workload. BONUS points if your pet loves snuggles. I only care for pets in my clients home simply because Im not allowed to take them to my apartment. I’m very communicative and always answer my phone :) if you need extra help with plant care or getting the mail I am at your aid!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Kaneville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
