About: I have a deep love for dogs and extensive experience caring for them. I understand their needs, provide attentive care, and ensure their safety and happiness. With a calm and reliable approach, I’m committed to making every pet feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. 🚫I DON’t HAVE CRATES!!! 🚫 I’m currently studying part time twice a week and my kids spend the whole day at school. So I’m available during the day to help many families who need help with their dogs. I have a pet area in my condominium and I can provide daily exercises. I like to send photos and videos daily and keep a good relationship and information about their dogs.

About: For the past 16 years, I've had the privilege of caring for the beloved pets of my family and friends. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality and needs. My parents have two Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless) dogs who require plenty of attention, exercise, and interaction. Whenever my parents travel—often for several weeks at a time—I stay in their home to care for them. During that time, I provide multiple daily walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. I also carefully follow their routine, including administering daily medications and any special care instructions. I also have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a calm, reassuring environment. Additionally, I cared for a rescue dog with PTSD and, over time, earned their trust to the point where they felt comfortable approaching me for affection. Experiences like these have taught me the value of allowing animals to build trust at their own pace. Cats have been a part of my life for the past 16 years as well. I've cared for cats with a wide range of personalities, from playful kittens and affectionate cuddlers to independent cats and senior companions with special needs. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I helped clean, socialize, play with, and care for the cats to help them feel safe and comfortable while waiting for their forever homes. Whether I'm caring for dogs or cats, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. As a full-time student with a flexible schedule, I'm able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including daytime visits, evening care, weekends, and many last-minute bookings. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I'm currently a full-time sonography student completing my clinical rotations. Before returning to school, I worked in the medical field, most recently at a cancer center, where I developed a strong commitment to providing compassionate, attentive care. Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am, and that same dedication extends to the animals I care for. For years, I've been the person family, friends, and neighbors rely on to care for their beloved pets. Whether it's walking dogs, checking in on cats, staying overnight, or helping out with last-minute requests, I genuinely enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Several people encouraged me to join Rover because of how often I already care for their furry family members. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust while providing patient, dependable care.

Debbie was great! She went above and beyond in caring for our cats. She did everything we asked and more. I really appreciate that she cleaned the used bowls even though this was not expected. When we met before the visits, she asked great questions to really understand what we and our pets needed. I will definitely schedule Debbie again in the future.

About: I have grown up with cats and currently have a 6 year old German Shepard named Jamie :) My girlfriend also has 2 cats that I love to hang out with and help take care of! I have a full time job outside of Rover, but am often at home during the day: able to do dog walks or drop ins for your pets. I have full day availability on Saturdays. Treating your pet like my own. On walks I’ll always make sure they’re on a leash, while staying alert to my surroundings, and check in for cues about tiredness/energy levels while making sure they get their activity in! At home will make sure they get all of the attention and care they need.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a passion for animals. As a student and full-time house manager, I can’t have a pet of my own right now, so I love spending time with your fur babies instead. In my work as a house manager, pets are part of the family. I’ve helped reinforce training techniques alongside professional trainers, focusing on building trust and confidence at each pet’s pace with plenty of patience, playtime, and treats. I’ve also learned valuable pet care and wellness tips from a close friend who is a vet tech. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m currently balancing work and school as I pursue my BSW and accelerated MSW, with the goal of becoming a child and adolescent therapist and advocate. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have dedicated availability to provide dependable pet care. As an experienced house manager, I understand the importance of routines, communication, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and the chance to get comfortable at their own pace. At home, I greet our cat Kiki like family and I’m convinced one day he’ll talk back! I bring that same energy to every pet I care for, including Bear, a playful pit bull I see regularly. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep you updated while you’re away.

About: My experience comes from caring for my own pets—both dogs and cats—and I grew up surrounded by dogs; we have always had them in our home and love them dearly. In fact, that is why my daughter studied veterinary medicine; although she is currently working as a nurse in this country, she is very close to achieving her goal of becoming a veterinarian again. I am available on weekends, specifically from 8:30 AM to 8:30 PM, and also on some weekdaysTuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Following the client's instructions and maintaining good, thorough communication with the owner is, I believe, the best way to ensure our service is efficient and safe—making sure not to overlook any details regarding the pet, such as medical conditions, special care needs, or behavioral traits.

About: As an adult I've had dogs for 25 years and counting. I've also volunteered at various shelters, and I am currently a volunteer for beagle rescue group where I foster and transport dogs as well as complete the home visits for potential adopters. I substitute teach and make my own schedule, so I have flexibility and availability for taking care of your pets. I love to walk dogs in all weather, and I am available for overnights with dogs as needed. I know that there is less stress for dogs and for owners if the dog can stay in a familiar setting which is why I have used rover myself in the past for vacations.

About: I worked at Bark University, a doggy daycare and groomer in Mundelein. I am also a Biology major at the University of Whitewater Wisconsin, where I plan to become an animal Rehabber and caretaker. I myself own two dogs currently, and one other in the past. I love taking care of them and showing them all the love possible. My dad often goes on business trips that can last up to two weeks, leaving me to take care of my own dogs while he’s gone, so I’ve had lots of experience take care of them by myself. In addition to this I have often taken care of family friends pets while they were out of town. I’m flexible as long as I know about the schedule a day in advance to help me plan my day. I’m mostly free but will say if I’m not otherwise. I give them lots of personal attention and care. I love showing my affection for pets with lots of petting and scratches. I keep a good eye on them while outside and inside to make sure nothing happens. I walk my dogs most days of the week and will always pick up after them.

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have worked with animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra patience and gentle care, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of life. My lifelong love for animals has given me extensive experience with feeding routines, daily exercise, administering medications, senior pet support, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while pet parents are away. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs active playtime, companionship, special attention, or quiet comfort, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I treat every pet like family and take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I am available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and check-ins. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, extra attention during the day, or loving care while you’re away, I have the time and dedication to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also respect my client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully to ensure peace of mind for both pets and owners.

About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my whole life, growing up around lots of different pets like dogs (big and small), cats (of all kinds), parakeets, hamsters and fish. I currently have a 3-year-old Papillon, and I previously cared for a dog who lived to be 14 years old, so I'm familiar with the needs of both energetic young dogs and senior dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I'll treat every dog and cat with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I recently finished college and will be home for the summer, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pet. I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply spending time together. Since I have a flexible schedule this summer, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

About: I've had my own dog since he was six, and now he's 14. From his puppy-like stage to being almost 90 in human years, I've taken care of him in all types of physicality. He was my first dog, but I took care of my friends' and neighbors' dogs since around 6th grade. I've taught him everything from shaking my hand, to weaving through my legs. My current job requires me to come in on an as-needed basis, typically on weekends, but only from 9-3. I have all the time in the world! My yard is not fenced, but we do have a long leash/rope that we keep our dog on when outside (he runs through invisible dog fences). My dog doesn't eat shoes and won't go on furniture unless allowed, so at night he just sleeps in a dog bed. I have worked with crate-trained dogs and always do my best to maintain the pet's daily lifestyle.

This is the first time we ever let anyone care for our boys as our big guy can be stubborn. Jillian was so nice. It’s completely obvious she loves animals. She was on time, professional, and we even got updates that the boys were more than fine. I’m quite sure the boys were a little disappointed that “mom and dad” were back. We will definitely ask Jillian to care for our boys again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Libertyville on Rover is $21.8 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 9,397 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Libertyville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Libertyville 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 Libertyville 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 .

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.

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

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Libertyville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
