“During out initial meeting, Ashley was professional and easy to talk to. She took notes on each of the dogs. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving our pets in her care. Day of visit, she was on-time, spent time with the dogs to be sure they tinkled and pooped. Her notes were detailed. I will use her again, no doubt!”
“Dawn was fantastic, reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. My cats took to her right away, even the one who usually dislikes everyone ended up enjoying her company!”
“Jan was a wonderful find! She was available on short notice to come check in on our pup when we went on an overnight trip. She’s very kind and professional and does a great job communicating throughout the visit. We will definitely be using her for our future dog watching needs!”
“Velvet was great looking after our cat. Responsive and came with specific questions about how to look after him. She also went above and beyond when we had some surprise flooding in our basement. Will book again”
“Maddie is very responsive, reliable, and accommodating with last-minute requests. She’s great with Ollie and always leaves thoughtful notes and pictures after her visits. We really appreciate her help!”
“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”
“Klaudia is so great with our little Nugget! We are always appreciative to have a sitter like her when we need it and we look forward to having her house sit for us in the near future!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and will give your fur baby the same love, care and affection they would get if you were caring for them. I have had experience watching cats and dogs of all sizes for the past 5 years. I absolutely love walking and getting outside and will ensure your dog gets the fun and exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. Or, if your dog or cat isn’t the aerobic type, I will be happy to supply them with all the love and cuddles they could possibly desire. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite things, and I am so excited for the opportunity to get to care for your fur baby. I am currently a full time college student which gives me flexible hours and availability during the work day to give your furry friend the full attention they deserve on walks or drop in visits. I’m a very organized person and will ensure your home stays just as clean and cared for as your fur baby. However you like your pet to be cared for, I am happy to fill their needs! Whether that be fetch in the backyard, walks outside, playing in the house, hanging out on the couch with me (if allowed) or putting them into their crate at the end of the day, I’m happy to care for your pet however they need while keeping your home just as you like it.
“Adriana was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. This was our first time having someone watch Caius and she kept us notified and sent photos the entire time. He is definitely more of a reactive dog and gets pretty territorial of our home, but he felt so comfortable with Adriana. She also watched him over the holidays which was much appreciated. We will absolutely be having her watch him again in the future. Thank you so much! ❤️”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, especially going so far away. Maricela was amazing! She was reliable and prompt and went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby was loved and cared for. I will definitely use her again knowing I won’t have to worry”
“Maria was great! She was an excellent communicator and always reached out for anything amiss. She gave our pups lots of love and really went above and beyond! Would highly recommend her!”
“This was the first-time having Beth watch our two dogs. We needed to find a new sitter on short notice, and we chose her because of location and her great reviews. She came to our house to do a meet and greet with us and our dogs. They are both senior dogs and need watchful care. We could tell right away the dogs liked her, as did we. Beth sent pictures and detail notes of each visit to let us know the dogs were in good hands and followed all of our special requests. We would highly recommend Beth to everyone.”

Claudia was so great with our 2 cats! They loved her & warmed up to her right away!!! She is very kind, prompt & so willing to help! Her messages & pictures of the animals while you're away, let's you know they are well taken care of!! Claudia will always be my first choice!!!!
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 ☺️
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!
Rachel did an amazing job with checking in on my 2 cats and providing detailed updates! She was able to quickly gain the trust of one of my cats that’s extremely shy to the point she was letting Rachel pet her. Rachel was also flexible with the meeting times and check ins.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Lombard on Rover is $21.4 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Lombard 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.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
