About: Hi, I’m Ann! Caring for animals has been the cornerstone of my life. I grew up in a wildlife rescue family situated right next to a teaching farm, giving me a rare, hands-on education in animal care from an early age. Today, I am a proud dog owner, a foster parent for rescue dogs, and a trained scent detection dog handler. My unique background means your dog gets an exceptional level of care. My scent detection training gives me a deep understanding of canine focus, body language, and positive reinforcement. I know how to keep a walk engaging and safely controlled, giving your dog both the physical exercise and mental stimulation they crave. Working the 3rd shift leaves my afternoons wide open, meaning I bring plenty of energy and focus to keeping your dog exercised, happy, and safe on every outing. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is safety, comfort, and routine. I care for most pets in their home. When visiting a client's home, I strictly follow your feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect—ensuring doors and gates are securely locked, cleaning up thoroughly, and keeping pets safe and engaged. I also provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you can have complete peace of mind while away.

About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.
About: Hello everyone! I am a mom and wife who enjoys animal friends. I’ve raised and cared for many varieties of animals. I have experience with the tiniest fur babies to the biggest! Do to my current work schedule I will no longer be offering boarding services for dogs. However, I am open to walking and drop in services. My only requirement for bookings is that your fur baby has all the items needed to be comfortable. That includes food, leashes, harnesses, etc. Also furry loved ones should be up to date on all shots and not showing any signs of illness. If I am taking care of someone’s fur baby I will not double book. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but I want to ensure safety, time, and attention for pets while they are in my care. Do to COVID-19 being a concern for some, we have followed the recommended CDC guidelines. Additionally, everyone within our home has been vaccinated. Should you like for me to wear a mask during my booked service time, please do not hesitate to reach out and I will be more than happy to accommodate. I work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to adjust to a dog/cat’s recommended routine. I have more availability on the weekends to provide services. If your pet is scheduled with me, I aim to provide them with lots of love and attention! I make sure to provide updates during each booking no matter how big or small it may be.
“I want to give Rachel a special thanks for doing an awesome job taking care of my two dogs. She kept us informed with everything and we were able to enjoy our vacations without any worry. She followed our instructions and took pictures of the dogs while with them. We know our dogs were in good hands. Thanks again!”

“Hope takes such great care of our kitties. She interacts well with them on every visit and they love playing with her with all their toys! It’s obvious they are very comfortable with her and look forward to seeing her! We can be at peace knowing they are well care tor with Hope!”

“Kat was great with our 3 cats. I appreciated her wanting to meet them 2 separate times and all of her questions. She kept me updated while I was traveling and that peace of mind is priceless. Would use her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Kat!”

“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.”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”

“It’s obvious she has passion for animals! My dog loves her and I can trust that she spends real time with him while she’s coming to let him out! Very patient and understanding/flexible.”

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have watched, played, fed and walked friends or neighbors animals. I love and care for any size animal. My family used to own a 200+ English mastiff. I work Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so pet care is part of my routine before and after work. In the mornings, I feed, walk, and spend time with pets before leaving. After work, I take them for another walk, feed them if needed, play with them, and make sure they have plenty of attention. On weekends, I have more flexibility for feeding, longer walks or other activities. I have a fenced in yard and walking paths all around in my neighborhood. I also have an open field near by to play fetch.
“Bree is an absolute delight! She came over to meet my cat and immediately was kind an loving to her. My cat loves her and looks forward to her coming over. If you want someone kind, with tremendous follow-up and great attention to detail look no further. I just can't say enough about Bree. Leaving your pet with someone you don't know is hard enough but Bree made it a breeze. We have used here services twice and couldn't be happier!!!!”
About: I have 16 years of experience caring for others' animals. I worked for multiple horse farms until graduating college and all types of animals. Horses, donkeys, cows, big dogs, little dogs, pigs, bunnies, birds, I've taken care of them all! The bigger the animal the more comfortable I am with them. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule that I make. I travel all over Cook/Kenosha/McHenry/Lake/Dupage Counties so if you're in that area I can tailor my schedule to spend more time in that area the week you need to accommodate your pets needs with daily walks or overnights. I treat all pets like they are my own. I take the time to get to know what they like so they warm up to me. Their favorite napping spots or where they like to be scratched. I want them to feel as comfortable as they can be while their owner is not around. I try to be the fun aunt that comes to visit so they don't notice mom and dad are gone.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for over 15 years and genuinely love being around them. I also went to dog grooming school and am certified in dog CPR, so I have experience safely handling all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from big energetic dogs to little ones and seniors who need some extra patience. I’ll always treat your dog like I would my own and make sure they’re safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention! I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love being active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around your pets normal schedule whenever possible. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is always my first priority. My training at Midwest School of Dog Grooming taught me proper handling and safety techniques for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also attended dog safety seminars and am dog CPR certified. I’ll respect your pets routine, your home, and any specific instructions you leave for me
About: Ive always grew up with dogs and cats. When they're around me they must get spoiled I cannot resist! I have a separate room that any animal is more than welcome to stay in incase they prefer being alone vs getting along with other animals. Dogs i can take anytime and Cats are more then welcome to stay for days as there is a separate room if needed, a spare litter box and plenty of extra cat food bowls! If given the opportunity to take care of your baby, I would treat it as my own! Spoil it and be sure to make sure it has everything it needs and make it feel at home even when it is not at its usual home!
“Riley did a great job of keeping me in the loop with Ted and even took him for an extra long walk one day just so Ted could enjoy himself. Will definitely use her again and recommend her for her trust worthiness and friendly nature.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and truly love them more than anything. As a kid, I volunteered at shelters and even donated my lemonade stand money to Save-A-Pet. That same passion has followed me into adulthood—I’ve worked with and supported the Laguna Beach Animal Sanctuary in California, and my family has been housing and walking dogs through Rover for several years. Because of that, I’ve learned how to adapt to all kinds of personalities—from shy rescues to high-energy pups—and make each one feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or endless belly rubs, I’m happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel happy and at home. I also have a flexible schedule, so I can give your pets the consistent attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I love staying active and spending time outdoors. I make it a point to get at least 10,000 steps a day, so walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures with pets easily become part of my rhythm. I also have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust to their needs without rushing or cutting corners. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure by keeping their normal feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent. I give lots of affection and attention, but I also pay close attention to any special instructions; whether that’s medications, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys. During overnight stays, I make sure the home stays tidy and that pets feel calm and cared for throughout the night.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lindenhurst
Guadalupe is amazing! She was able to take a very last minute request for 4 days of care for our two dogs, and we could not be happier with how well cared for our dogs were while we were gone! I know this, because of how the dogs acted when we got back... they were excited, of course... but they calmed down, and were totally normal within an hour. That is proof positive... they were well cared for :)

Courtney was very punctual and was flexible to get us care last minute. She was very thoughtful in meeting us and Coco beforehand which made us feel very comfortable that Coco was in good hands. She sent pictures and notes and all went very well. We would have her again for sure. Thx Courtney

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lindenhurst is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 3,129 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lindenhurst. 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.

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.
