About: I’ve had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, bearded dragons and ball pythons. I have a lot of experience and can easily take care of your pet or pets. I currently work full time in Burr Ridge from 8 AM to 4 PM. I’m available after work and on the weekends to care for your fur babies. I can easily adjust to your pet or pets schedule. I can take them for walks or hangout with them in a fenced yard. I can stick to your feeding schedule and I can also give medicine if needed.
“Tamara dropped in to check on our dog while we were out of town for a week. She came to our home twice a day and sometimes 3 to check on our dog. She was amazing and we felt our pet was well cared for while we were gone. Tamara sent us pictures and videos at every visit. We could tell how much she cared for our dog. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages for friends and family members, in addition to raising my own cat. I have experience caring for animals with health concerns and administering medications as directed. I understand the importance of maintaining feeding schedules, providing exercise and enrichment, monitoring for changes in behavior, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am currently taking a flexible, self-paced class so I have open availability to take care of pets as needed. I have open availability on weekdays and can do weekends as needed. I have a medium sized yard for the pets to get outdoor excercise. I also have a large basement where I can set up a crate, litter box, toys, etc
About: I bring over 25 years of dedicated experience caring for both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of pet behavior and needs. What truly sets me apart is my extensive experience with specialized medical care. My beloved Shih Tzu, who recently passed away after a long and happy life, required attentive care for severe allergies, dry eyes, and diabetes. Because of this, I am completely comfortable and highly experienced in administering eye drops, oral medications, and routine insulin injections. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave a pet with special medical needs, and I am proud to offer the precise, gentle, and reliable care your furry family member deserves. I work from home and only go into the office once or twice a week for brief 4-hour stretches (typically 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM). The rest of my time is spent working locally so I can care for my wonderful 7.5-year-old special needs son, handling his school drop-offs and summer camp schedules. This highly flexible routine gives me the perfect opportunity to step away from my desk, stretch my legs, and provide your pups with dedicated neighborhood walks or attentive drop-in visits. Sadly, my beloved dog Rocky passed away in January 2026. This summer, I realized just how much I truly miss our daily walks and the companionship of a dog. While I am not quite ready to bring a new full-time pet into our home, I would love to channel that missing affection into helping busy neighbors by giving your pets all the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your pets are treated like true members of the family in my care. Because my beloved Rocky passed away in January 2026, my home is currently pet-free, meaning your furry family member will get my absolute, undivided attention during drop-ins or walks, with zero risk of conflict with resident animals. Backed by over 25 years of pet care experience, I approach safety with a proactive mindset—strictly adhering to your leashing preferences, double-checking that doors and gates are securely locked, and ensuring your home remains secure. I tailor my visits entirely to your pet's unique personality and energy level. Whether they need a high-energy walk to a local field where they can safely run or simply prefer quiet, comforting companionship on the couch, I treat your home and your pets with the highest level of respect and devotion. To give you ultimate peace of mind while you are away, I will always send you detailed text updates and plenty of photos during every single visit so you can see exactly how much fun we are having!
“Jayme was our first experience with Rover and we had such a wonderful first experience! From our first meet and greet with our pup you could instantly tell she cares about the quality of care she provides to your animals. With each check in I was confident our dog was in great hands, our dog can take some time to warm up to someone new and she was instantly able to win him over. We can’t wait to have her back soon!”
“John was wonderful with our energetic boxer puppy! I highly recommend him. When we came home, she greeted us with excitement and love as usual. Then she ran around our house looking for her new friend, John!”
“Grace was awesome! This was the first time Grace cared for my "shy" kitties, and they came out for her...just call her the cat whisperer! Grace was attentive and communicated each visit. Thank you!”
“I will never go to another sitter, ever! She takes care of my cat who is an absolute terror to people, and Ethel is bery kind to her. She goes above and beyond every time I have her!”
“Kristen has been amazing! She is kind and patient, and has been very reliable. She has been great at taking care of my little Yorkie, taking her for walks and playing with her to burn off some energy! Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life! I had a puppy as a young girl, and cared for her through her old age. I also have extensive pet sitting experience, and have watched 5 dogs simultaneously. I have a very caring personality and would love to care for your fur babies! When it comes to cats, I have about 12 years of experience. I have taken care of numerous outdoor stray cats, and have rehomed many of them, including taking two into my own home. I am self employed (jewelry artist!) so I have plenty of time to check in with your pets, walk/play etc. I am available anytime during the week (M-F) and usually on the weekends as well. I currently live in a small apartment, and would need to come by you. I am excellent at following directions, and will cater to you and your pets needs.
“Jessica was wonderful. She was able to come on short notice, and still made time to visit ahead of time to get acquainted with our shy pup (and us). She is prompt, reliable, and easily made friends with Doxie. We would definitely ask her back for future needs.”
About: I've dog sat for family, neighbors, & friends since I was in high school. I love taking dogs for walks, spending time at dog parks, playing with toys, practicing tricks, giving treats, & cuddle time! I work a full-time Monday-Friday job, but I'm available on weekends. I'm happy to pet sit for you while you take a weekend vacation, spend time with friends, or go on a date! I have a fenced yard, clean home, and a friendly spayed 4 year old goldendoodle who is routinely vaccinated & loves making new friends. I can crate your dog if preferred and administer medications if needed.
About: I’m an animal lover and long time cat mom to rescues. I’ve been pet sitting since I’ve been a teen. Most of my pet sitting jobs have come from families that I babysit for or referrals. I have amazing references. I’m comfortable with all dog breeds and sizes. I enjoy long walks and nature. I’m trustworthy, reliable, dedicated, loving and caring. I treat everyone’s pets as if they were my own. I take pride in walking, feeding, and providing endless affection to all pets. I always provide extra love and care for my clients fur-babies! I have no problem collecting mail or packages, tending to the garden or flowers, and keeping the house tidy. If given the opportunity to care for your pet and/or Home, I will provide the best care possible.
“I forgot to disable my alarm one day and she made tremendous effort to t try to contact me and even stayed longer to keep my pup from hearing the alarm go off. Fantastic person and sitter.”
About: From my own puppy starting at age 10, to my roommate’s cats in college, to my neighbors’ pets in between, I have taken care of all kinds of animals for many years. I love animals and love to help care for them in any way I can! I am living in LaGrange with a part time job that is flexible. Therefore, my pet-care schedule is very flexible as well. I am able to accommodate almost anything during the weekdays if needed! I have a car and am willing to travel to care for your pets, whether that is in-home care, walking them, or playing with them.
About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was eight years old! From owning a dog to working at a dog-grooming shop at 14, I have experience with both small and big dogs. Especially being in college, I get withdrawal being away from my dog, so this is free therapy for me! I am home for the summer from college, so I am available most of the day! I am very flexible with time and location! I’m in Brookfield until September. Unfortunately, I cannot offer pet sitting services in my own home because my dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, but I am more than comfortable pet sitting in your home!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - La Grange
We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!
Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!
Tamara dropped in to check on our dog while we were out of town for a week. She came to our home twice a day and sometimes 3 to check on our dog. She was amazing and we felt our pet was well cared for while we were gone. Tamara sent us pictures and videos at every visit. We could tell how much she cared for our dog. I highly recommend her and would not hesitate to hire her again.

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 La Grange 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 La Grange 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 La Grange 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.
