“Im absolutely thrilled with Agnieszka! I hope she will always be free to take care of my fur babies when I travel. Not only did she take excellent care of them but she sent me a lot of gorgeous pictures. The only problem with telling you that you too will be thrilled with her care is that she might be busy the next time I need her. 😊”
“Hannah was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our 2 cats Meko & Misty. We looked forward to all her reports. She sent us several pictures of her playing and petting both cats. So I know they had a great time. We hadn't asked but she went ahead and put our garbage cans out for us. We were on a family vacation and I recommended her to my son & daughter-in-law as they were not happy with their cat sitter. We're planning a short trip next month and will definitely book her again.”
About: Hi i’m Trinity! I’m 26 currently working as a full time Executive Assistant running a professional haunted house. 🦇 I’m a lover of all things Halloween and when i’m not occupied with work, I love spending time with pets! I don’t have any of my own at the moment, but it’s something I’m trying to save up for! I have become a local favorite for neighbors and friends! I have years of experience with high energy, elderly, and special needs dogs. I’ve had family pets my whole life so I have plenty of experience with basic care as well. Aside from the usual errand runs, I am normally home during the day - so the pets will have minimal alone time! As long as you approve, your pup can be attached to my hip 🖤 My booking calendar is updated frequently, so the current availability should be accurate. Let’s connect and see if it works! To ensure the safety of the pets, I only host one family at a time. At my home, pups are more than welcome to lounge on the furniture. I provide clean bowls, toys, along with sniff pads and frozen treats! We have a back patio that is not fenced in, but there is a lead we can attach to the collar so they can stay within sight. Walks through the neighborhood are always an option as well! ✨Can provide multiple references ✨
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I enjoy spending quality time with each pet I meet, and I plan to provide the best service for your loved pets. I am currently in nursing school and I have classes at night so I can spend my mornings/afternoons caring for your animals! I am looking forward to seeing your lovely pets! I have experience crating dogs as well as feeding them if necessary. I am ready to learn how ever you care for your dog! I have experience giving medication, crating, and making them feel comfortable!
About: Hi! I recently graduated from USC and moved back home for the summer. I have two dogs of my own and fostered five different dogs during college, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or extra attention and care, I’ll make sure your pup is happy, safe, and loved while you're away. I recently graduated from USC and am back home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the week, and I’m also available on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner and experienced foster, I understand that every dog has different needs and routines. I will follow any instructions you provide, maintain a safe environment, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you're away. I also believe in keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. Trained my dogs throughout the years and lived with all different sizes of dogs. I typically have done in home pet care or drop by pet care previously. I have very flexible hours and can stop in daily as needed. I am usually only gone for a few hours at a time but home much of the day. I have a house with a yard that dogs can play in, however, it is not fenced in but still a good yard. At my house we have a bernedoodle who loves other dogs
About: I am a medical student looking to earn some extra cash over summer break! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love them. Now, I have two dogs (a Shiba Inu and a Dachshund) and am a foster (currently taking care of a beagle from Ridglan farms). I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! Because I am in school, my schedule does change daily. But, I often have weekday afternoons off and am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I will treat your dog exactly as I would my own—with the respect, care, love, and attention they deserve. I am happy to check in on your pup at your house or have them stay at mine. I live in a quiet neighborhood, and my dogs are friendly.
“Avery did great with our Pup! She was very respectful of property and took him on a few extra walls around the neighborhood. We appreciate her taking good care of Decker and will definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Ashley does such a great job with our cat Benny. She arrives on time each visit and spends time giving him attention (pets, brushing, etc.). She sends updates and lots of photos during each visit. Thanks again Ashley!!”
About: I used to have a dog, and I truly miss the companionship and joy that having a dog brought into my life. Unfortunately, because I rent my current home, I can't own a dog right now. To recapture that wonderful feeling, I've decided to walk dogs in my spare time. It allows me to experience the happiness of being around dogs again, even if I can't have one of my own at the moment. I have owned a small dog as a child and recently a 130 cane corso so I am comfortable with all sizes. Currently I am available after 5 on Fridays and most weekends. I cannot have dogs at the place I am renting . Please reach out to coordinate what days you need your dog walked I am only able to provide dog walking services at this time. I am unable to have dogs at the place I am renting. Thank you
“This past week, Cheyenne took great care of our labrador puppy Luna. She is very patient and gentle with Luna while Luna is still learning how to become potty trained and teething like crazy. In addition to this, Luna is always very worn out and tired after a day with Cheyenne. We will definitely be using Cheyenne's services in the future.”
About: I owned an amazing Chihuahua for 13 years, who's sadly passed on. I love fur friends and would love the opportunity to sit for you. I currently work from home and office with full flexibility and focus to give your furry friend the attention that they need. I have a decent sized spacious townhome with an unfenced back yard, nice open front yard, and various parks are within a quick block from me. I offer plenty of time, space, and love to your fur baby as needed. They will receive the same care as they would at home. I have a loving home and family, with plenty of space to accommodate your pets stay. A clean back yard and plenty of parks and trails nearby.
“Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
About: Hello, my name is Lissa. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and I regularly take care of friends and family’s pets while they are away. I’ve volunteered with the animal shelter for a little over a year and am happy to take care of some new furry friends! I do work full-time but have a hybrid schedule. Currently, I am available all day on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I have flexibility on most other weekday evenings too! I am also happy to spend lots of time playing with your pet and will send picture and video updates of how they are doing!

I have a 6 month old puppy and older pup who I was nervous about leaving alone. Amberley put me at ease from our meet and greet and she’s been so great with our dogs! She sends several pictures and sweet notes about how their drop ins are and I know they are in great hands!
Claudia has been great with Ramsey, our senior Tamaskan with hind leg arthritis. She was patient and gentle, and has done a wonderful job getting him to warm up to her. She's a great communicator, very thorough, and prompt! I highly recommend Claudia's services!
I would highly recommend Jamie! She recently completed a drop in visit for our dog and cat- during the meet and greet my dog was completely OBSESSED with her and based on the updates I received, his love for Jamie was still strong! Jamie followed instructions and left our home in excellent condition. I would gladly use her services again ☺️
Jennifer is such a kind soul! She goes above and beyond for your pup and will do everything she can to make sure they are comfortable. My pup is pretty scared of storms and Jennifer carried him down to the basement to make him feel comfortable in his safe space. She’d also let me know of any behavioral concerns like increased anxiety or if my pup was having an off day. I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer. 🙂 I would 110% recommend her to folks looking for peace of mind that your pet will be well cared for and in good hands. Thank you for everything that you do Jennifer!!
Macey was amazing! She took very good care of my new puppy goose and followed all instructions! She send great overviews and photos of their time together that made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. Before the drop ins even took place, Macey made sure to make time to meet goose and us which I greatly appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lombard is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 12,475 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lombard. 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.
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 Lombard 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 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.
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 Lombard 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 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.
