“This was my first time using a Rover care giver locally. I've done it in other towns, with success, but have been unable to find someone reliable, with an open schedule. Eileen was able to meet for a "meet and greet" on a few hour's notice, but was able to commit to a next day booking. 3 in my home visits/walks with pictures at each visit and plenty of feedback. She was friendly and nice and Mud, my 65 lb Pit Bull took to her immediately. I'm happy to have come across Eileen and will book her again as the needs present themselves. Thank you, Eileen! You were great!”

“Hanna walked my pup over the weekend for the first time! She was detail oriented and gave him so much love. I’ll be in contact for future walks because she’s trustworthy!”


“Katerina, Thank you for looking after our cats while we were away! They were very well taken care of and we will definitely be rebooking for our future cat-sitting needs!”

About: Something that sets me apart is that I’m a dog trainer, actively pursuing to achieve certification for professional dog trainer. I participate regularly with dog training and actively see a dog training mentor weekly. I have loved dogs since I was very little. I do a pretty good job at reading their body language and how to anticipate their next moves.I’m able to reduce the anxiety a dog might have being away from you and with a new person. I use positive reinforcement by being gentle and firm and I try to be fun and playful with the dog or puppy. I have two dogs. I actively take them out, I feed them every morning and night. I bathe when they need it. I walk them and take them to dog classes or improve any behavior issues they might have or come across. Apart from my dogs, I participle imagine dog training classes as a student and to demonstrate dog training techniques. Such as: Sitting, downing, standing, staying and walking nicely in lead, etc. Maintaining owners schedule such as feeding, walking, medications, etc. Ensuring the cleanliness of the dog and dog waste in the yard or other properties. I will actively play with the dogs to tire them out and do what I can to ensure the health and enjoyment of the dog.
“Aury has been so attentive and caring for my cats this past year. I am relocating for work and truly wish I could move her with me! I never had to worry when I left town because she always took such good care of my cats and sent me tons of photos and videos. 100/10 recommend, Aury is the best!”

About: I've taken care of dogs pretty much non-stop since 2003. I take the welfare of any animal very seriously and promise to be attentive to all your pet's needs. My #1 goal is your peace of mind while away from your fur kids or any other animal family members. I'm retired and working part-time. A job that involves caring for animals is by far my preferred option, and making sure I'm available to devote my full attention to pet care is very important to me. If I were lucky enough for you to entrust your pet(s) to my care, he, she, or they would be my #1 priority. I pay close attention to the welfare of any pets entrusted to my care, including my own, of course. They're always the center of attention, and I am always focused on being responsive to their needs.

Nardie is a long hair part Maine Coone cat. He is about 15 years old and he is diabetic which means I give him insulin shots 2x a day. He is a sweet loving man who loves to cuddle and be by my side.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I graduated college. I have raised, trained and loved dogs from puppies to elder dogs and enjoyed every minute. I have also fostered dogs and volunteered at my local rescue organization. I currently work part-time it would be available in the afternoon and evening hours and weekends. I am comfortable walking in all weather too! Happy to also snuggle and provide comfort to anxious and skittish pets too. I am very diligent to make sure all pets have what they need. For example, making sure they have fresh water, clean paws for your home and a good walk is the priority! Having been a Rover client myself; I value clear and meaningful communication with the owners too to make sure everyone is comfortable and feels safe.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals. I’m currently working a before school care program and an after school care program with the park district. I am available for walking pets starting at 9am-3pm (Monday- Friday) all year round. For pet setting it depends on the time and date. I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.
About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor

About: Hi, I’m Carla! My love for dogs has been a part of my life since childhood, and caring for them has always been something close to my heart. In January 2012, I adopted my beloved Candy. She was my faithful companion for over 14 years, and I said goodbye to her in April 2026. Candy taught me so much about patience, understanding, and the special bond we share with our dogs. She also taught me firsthand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for your furry family. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with English Bulldogs, a Chihuahua, a Black Labrador, and Candy. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of different breeds, personalities, and behaviors, including leash reactivity, pulling, lunging, and barking. Since March 2024, I’ve dedicated over 1,000 volunteer hours to shelter dogs, walking dogs of all sizes and personalities and providing enrichment. I also work with shy, fearful, and reactive dogs, helping them build confidence and feel more comfortable. Since Candy’s passing, I’ve also started occasionally fostering dogs who need a little extra love and care. Whether your dog is outgoing and energetic or shy and sensitive, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. Their well-being and safety will always be my priority. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I would love to meet you and your furry family member! I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around your pet’s needs. Typically, dogs would not be left alone for more than 4–5 hours. Monday through Thursday, I have commitments from approximately 2–6 PM, which I take into consideration when scheduling pet care. I provide loving, attentive care tailored to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Care in My Home: I don’t have a fenced yard, so outdoor time consists of leashed walks or a long line for your pet to run. I provide a minimum of five walks per day to ensure your dog gets plenty of opportunities to go outside. I also have two stepchildren, ages 11 and 14, so dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around children. They may not be here when you pet is depending on the time. In-Home Pet Sitting: When caring for your pets in your home, I maintain their usual routines and provide attentive care in their familiar surroundings. My maximum stay for overnight pet sitting is 3–4 nights. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priority! For care in my home: I do not have a yard. I provide a minimum of 5 walks a day. I also have two step children that are 11 and 14, so any pets should be fine with kids when they are in my home. For in home pet sitting I have a max stay of 3-4 nights.
About: I have been pet sitting cats and dogs for over 10 years. As my family as always been animal lovers, taking care of furry friends comes naturally to me. I love getting to help others while spending time with and caring for their pets. I am a substitute teacher and freelance creative, so I have a lot of freedom to build my own schedule - I usually build it weekly. This allows me to create the best possible schedule for my clients and myself. When I enter someone’s home to care for a pet, I have the utmost respect and care for a clients belongings and spaces. On a walk, I focus on making sure the dog is safe & being aware of our surroundings and having a good time enjoying the fresh air.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.

About: The phrase man’s (or woman’s) best friend is extremely fitting for me! I connect so well with animals, and have always been a reliable source for family, friends, neighbors, and more! I have dog walked, pet sit for cats and dogs, and taken care of pets (including my own dog) since I was 10 years old. Animals are a huge part of my life and I want to surround myself with them more! I currently am a sports photographer so I only go in at most once per week to capture photos and videos, and then I edit at home. Sometimes it gets lonely, so I would absolutely love to take care of a pet whenever I can! I have a perfect dog park in my neighborhood, a nice walking path where sometimes there are other furry friends out for walks so we can meet them if they are interested, and a cozy home that welcomes any pet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kildeer
Arthur was great with my girls. 2 of them a bit leary with men they don't know well but seems things went well. He locked up when done and they all seemed just fine when I got home. He has a gentle nature with the pups and that is comforting from a stranger. I highly recommend to others and will call Arthur again.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kildeer is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 11,922 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kildeer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Kildeer. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
