“Our dogs love Carly and so do we! She follows all of our instructions and makes sure our dogs have fun during their visit. She leaves our house clean and we come home to happy pups! We love her reports and the cute pictures she takes too!”
About: I can do general grooming including nail/claw trims. I also can give medication if needed, I enjoy going outside on walks and also playing with any type of animal I go to college currently and have an occasional job working for a delivery company but animals are my passion so I look forward to working with them I make sure to always stick to instructions given to me word for word and want your furry friends as safe and comfortable as possible
“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.”
“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!”
“Meghan did an amazing job with our little guy! This was our first time using Rover, and we would love to hire her again. She was very thorough and sent lots of cute pics :)”
“Rachel is amazing! She takes great care of my dog and takes great pictures. It is way below freezing out and she still went out with my dog. She writes great messages. I will definitely use her again.”
“Dawn was so caring and attentive to my cat's needs. He has epilepsy and requires meds twice a day. I have a lot of anxiety about leaving him, but Dawn really took care of him and came twice a day to give him his meds and spend time with him. She also wrote whenever he used the litter box, drank water, and ate food. I definitely recommend her to anyone who has cats with medication needs.”
“I work a job with call, so sometimes I don’t get to go home or I work long hours. Beth is always available to take care of my fuzzy babies at short notice. She does an excellent job and is VERY much appreciated by myself and my pups!”
“Harley followed our instructions and provided prompt updates. The photos she provided proved that her care was no less than what I would provide for my own dogs. I know my pups look forward to the next visit.”
“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”
“Janet was awesome. My dogs loved her. This is the first time leaving them with someone other than myself and my adult daughter. She was so patient with them as they had many accidents and were very out of sorts. She was dependable and kind. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“Amberley was a wonderful sitter. She is reliable, communicative, responds quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. I would definitely recommend her!”
“It was my first time using Rover, and Rachel made the process simple and stress free. She took excellent care of my cats, and also handled my cat’s medication without any issues. I would definitely recommend and will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: **For the house sitting part of the profile I cannot sleepover at the clients house due to health reasons but I can take the dog(s) out for breaks at anytime.** We have a rescue dog, who was untrained and very high anxiety when we rescued him. Now, he is a fun loving, good listening boy! I probably baby him too much, so if you are looking for someone to be uber strict, that's probably not us. We just want to give love when you're not able to. I am in school part time and I am only looking to take care of a few dogs, so I can work the schedules that they need. I have two dogs that I feed, bathe and train. I like to play with them and I can tell when she's about to get the "zoomies'" , so I play extra hard with her then. Of course I like to snuggle and pet any puppy!
“Cat is amazing! She took care of our two cats when we took a two week vacation. She is the cat whisperer! She gave detailed reports and took care of issues as they arose. She watered our plants and went above and beyond in numerous ways!! Cat is the best!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lombard
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

- 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.
