“Allison did a great job with our Murph! She was very communicative, shared photos, and played with our pup while we were away. She also FaceTimed in advance, which we appreciated since this was our first time using Rover. Would book again :)”
About: We have fostered many pets. We have also provided pet sitting for friends, family, and former fosters. We can provide superb care to your pups. I work from home all day and am able to provide care and love to your pups when you can't. We can provide breaks as needed and daily exercise to keep your pups happy. We have a fenced yard and a second fenced yard that we can use as a dog run and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company.
“Charlotte was a wonderful sitter and made me feel so comfortable throughout my trip away from my babies (w cats)! Will be booking again the next time I’m away.”
“Vanessa took excellent care of my cat. She always responded quickly when discussing the booking and sent plenty of photos of him during my trip. I highly recommend her!”
“Erin does an amazing job; our greyhound Happy just loves her! She is professional and communicates very well. She's thoughtful and respectful of our home, making sure feet are clean and things are tidy. Erin is quick to respond to requests for help and flexible when my schedule changes. I can confidently recommend Erin.”
“Olivia did a wonderful job on the drop in visits for my dog. She was on time and followed my directions very well. She sent lots of pictures and took great care of him. I will be using Olivia in the future for walks, drop ins and vacations.”
About: I started taking care and training dogs when I was 13. My parents rescued my dog Luna when I was 14 and I took care of her every day and trained her, she even understands Spanish! She is the sweetest dog ever but I currently don’t live with her anymore. I also enjoy taking care of kids and I am very patient and confident in my ability to handle anything. I love to teach and I am very passionate about what I do. Once I start something I work hard to become better everyday. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time. I am fully committed to working Monday-Saturday mostly from 8am-9pm. My current schedule is simple. I go to the gym from 9-11:30am and pretty much free the rest of the day. I have a part time job and I work every other week Sat-Sun from 4-10. I have a really flexible schedule so feel free to ask any questions! I would usually take my dog out for her first walk at 8 in the morning. I would take her out for at least 15min and repeat this every 3/4 hours. After her first walk I fed her breakfast, sometimes I’d crack an egg on top or drizzle honey which is great for dogs, and I fed her twice a day. If it was muddy outside I would clean her paws and fur after. I would play with her and teach her new tricks every now and then. If her breath was bad I would brush her teeth at night. I loved cuddling and sleeping with her and I would do everything to make sure she was happy.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was a baby, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve always been the trusted friend or family member to pet sit, and I truly love animals. I’m patient, caring, and enjoy making every dog feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether we’re relaxing at home or enjoying a nature walk, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. currently work as an Amazon delivery driver four days a week and teach virtual English classes on weekend mornings. I have three days off each week and am available for dog walks on those days, as well as before or after work when possible. I love being outdoors and enjoy giving dogs fun, safe, and active walks. I have a large, fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog if your pup enjoys having company. Whether you’d prefer your dog stay at my home or be cared for in the comfort of yours, I’m happy to accommodate your preferences. I’m very flexible and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
“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!”
About: I have pet sit for over 10 years. I can stay in your home or make frequent visits throughout the day. I love going on walks, playing with the dog, and being their best friend! I will send picture updates throughout the day. I am able to give dogs medication if needed. I have had long term clients for years now who keep coming back. I currently have a full time job working in a school but am off during the summer time which gives me more availability to hangout with your pups! I am able to watch pets in their own home or make multiple visits throughout the day, whichever the owner is more comfortable with. I am able to spend the night as well. I send daily pictures to the owner with updates as well throughout the days I am watching the dog.
About: I’ve taken care of senior dogs who had trouble seeing and walking, cleaned up after them, and handled puppies as young as 1 week old. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, so no pet is too small or too big for me. I work part time so my availability changes week to week depending on my shifts, but I always know my schedule in advance so I’ll be upfront with you about when I’m available before we book anything. Pet care is something I take seriously so I make sure I’m not overcommitting if I say I’m available, I mean it. On days I’m not working I’m pretty much free for most of the day. Morning and evening availability is usually the most consistent for me regardless of whether I have a shift. I’ll always communicate with you ahead of time if anything changes and I’m not the type to leave you hanging last minute. I care for my own cat Simba daily, keeping him engaged and comfortable, the same attention and energy I’ll bring to your pet. In your home I’ll handle feeding, playtime, cleaning up any messes, and anything else your pet needs.
“Elyse did a great job watching our cat while we were gone for a week. She was very organized and communicative, and sent plenty of pictures each day that she stopped by. She also gave Cid plenty of attention and was easy to work with”
“Anna has been amazing to coordinate with and scheduling drop in visits on our 4 month old puppy during our long work days. She is excellent with communicating with us and has made us feel completely safe with entrusting the care of our puppy to her. We will continue to use Anna for our future pet care needs.”
About: With 20 years of hands-on experience and a genuinely kind approach to all animals, I treat every pet like family—patiently, gently, and with real understanding. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine—I have a flexible schedule and wide availability, so I can accommodate early afternoon, midday, evening, and last-minute requests. For drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking closely to their usual routine. During check-ins, I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, and any litter boxes or potty areas are clean. For walks, I provide safe, engaging exercise tailored to your dog’s energy level. I always prioritize safety, patience, and kindness so your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. I do not take client pets into any body of water outside of standard bathing services unless it has been specifically requested and approved in advance.
“Bob has been doing weekly home visits for our dog for over year now! He has never missed a visit and is very reliable. Our pup loves when he comes to visit, I would recommend him to anyone!”
“Carlen was great! She helped ease our minds by doing meet and greets prior to the booking and was very flexible when we needed to modify plans the day before. Happy our girls were in good hands with her!”
“Sophia is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She is punctual, flexible and wonderful with our dog, Pixy. Pixy is a stubborn senior who knows what she wants and Sophia makes sure Pixy gets it. Whether it’s a walk and a snack or just some company, I know she’s in great hands with Sophia.”
About: I am currently raising and training my 1.5 y/o pup, Kevin! As a dog mom myself, I want to help other families feel comfortable leaving their fur babies in someone else’s care. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule with meetings here and there throughout the day. I am available during the day, week, and weekends. Having a pup myself, we are very active. From going on frequent walks to playing fetch and catching some snuggles, it truly is a dog’s world and we are just living in it. I am able to crate if needed!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lemont 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 Lemont 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 .

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 Lemont with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
