About: I’ve owned pets since I was younger. I was in charge of walking, feeding, and grooming them. I will provide a loving, safe and comfortable space for your baby’s needs. I pay attention to detail in case there are special request/requirements. My schedule is pretty flexible. We can discuss specific times needed to care for your pet. I am available during the week after 9 a.m and any time on weekends. I have a spacious backyard and inside my home. To provide your fur baby with the care they need, I can also take further steps to make sure he/she is comfortable.
“Amy took such great care of my dog! He was so tired from playing with her puppy, he went right to sleep when I got him home. It was nice to have him burn off all that energy by playing All Day. He also gets to socialize with her kids which is great. I'm so excited to take him back!”
About: We have grown up around cats and dogs. We are the go to pet sitters for our families and friends. We have experience with cats, dogs, snakes, turtles, fish, and ferrets. We have house trained our dogs and know the patience required with the process. We both work from home so we are able to take dogs out as needed and nothing is better on a work break then cuddling some fuzzies. We have a large fenced in yard,so dogs can safely run and play. We always stay outside with them. Inside the house is pet proofed with couch protection covers and scratching posts for cats. All kitty litter is gated off from dog access. Water bowls are available upstairs and downstairs. If we are outside for more than 15 minutes we also bring a water bowl outside.
“Rose met some new friends today. I think Rose is adapting on being away from home for the day. Sylvie always makes sure Rose gets pets, hugs and belly rubs. She must of had a busy day today sniffing everything. When I got home Rose ate her dinner and went to take a nap!”
“Ever since we started searching for a home, Vanessa has been our go to person to take care our my Lulu. She’s wonderful, very accommodating to last minute scheduling. I highly recommend Vanessa to take of your fur babies.”
“Bree is great! She keeps communication going and our dog was just so comfortable with her. Gave us great peace of mind knowing that he was in loving, caring hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Natalie is fantastic!!! Super communicative, she kept me updated throughout my pups stay. She was able to give my stubborn boy his meds and treated him excellent. He was napping on the couch as happy as could be when I arrived to pick him up. It's so nice to know my pup is in excellent hands!”
About: We have looked after dogs for 10+ years before we got our very own. Peppa loves other dogs and is a frequent dog park visitor! We traveled to Portugal and left our dog with a sitter and didn’t have the best experience. So, we decided to give it a go ourselves and provide exceptional pet care to our neighbors . We are pretty great at training dogs, our Peppa rings a bell to go potty, maybe we can teach yours too! I (DJ) work from home as a Healthcare Recruiter. My days aren’t extremely demanding so your puppy will get all the pets, walks & feeds they need! (Probably a few treats in between too!) We have no children here and provide a very attentive and warm home for your pet. Regardless of how difficult any special instructions you leave, your pet will not miss a beat of their daily routine. They will come back to you exactly how you left them, happy and healthy!
About: I love all dogs! I have a senior 12+ year old pitbull who is the most social and friendly dog anyone will ever meet. He himself has been going to doggy daycare for the last 8 years due to seperation anxiety. I work from home and do have to be at the office from time to time or job sites, so my days will vary. I’ll treat your pup like they are my own! I have been a bully breed dog mom for 21 years. We have no kids and a big yard almost a half acre where they can roam, play and of course sploot in the sun! If you pup needs meds I’m happy to help make sure they get their meds. I have plenty of dog beds for them to lounge and sleep too. I work from home, so am at a computer and can work from any room. I start at 8:30 and finish at 5 PM. I will never leave any pets unattended so they feel safe. Fenced yard and I’ll always be around watching when they venture out to the bathroom. If you tell me they need to pee every hour, on every hour it is.
“Our dog loved her time with Ashley. She felt 100% at home which was very important to me. I tried a pet store doggy day care previously and it was overwhelming to my dog, she was not happy when I picked her up. When I picked her up from Ashley she was so happy and I could tell she had a great day. Ashley sent pictures. was very responsive, and she was very accommodating. I will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
“We contacted Laina last minute on Black Friday. She was able to respond quickly and handle our dog for the evening despite the late notice. She was very nice and welcoming of my partner and I, as well as our puppy Daddy. Will definitely contact her again whenever we need a great dog sitter.”
“Cathy was awesome! She took great care of my 7 week old silver lab puppy. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a sitter who puts your mind to ease while you are away from your pup. She keeps you updated and sends cute pics! Great sitter!”
“Denise was AMAZING with our dogs. She is great with communicating and it is obvious how much she loves the animals in her care! We got held up and were very late picking up our two dogs, and she was very accomadating! Definitely would recommend Denise to anyone needing care for their animals!”
About: Hi, my name is Sim! I have hands on experience caring for pets. I raised my own dog for 14 years and have pet-sat for friend’s dogs. Caring for animals is a passion of mine, and I understand how important routines and attention are. Having been both a pet owner and sitter, I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine. I provide attentive care, communicate clearly, and give regular updates to ensure you feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate focused time to walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to be attentive, responsive, and consistent with each pet’s routine, ensuring they get the care, attention, and companionship they need. I stick closely to each pet’s routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I make sure they’re fed on time, get their walks and playtime, and feel safe and comfortable. I also keep things clean and send updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Lockport commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,262 sitters in Lockport, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
