Katerina was absolutely perfect! This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience very easy and nice! She did exactly what we needed which was visit our babies once a day and feed and play with them, but she went above and beyond when she sent photos and videos of them at each visit! It was so nice to get those updates while we were away! I will absolutely be using Rover again, especially Katerina! Thanks again!!!

Abby is such a great pet sitter! We asked her last minute if she was available to drop in on our cat while we were gone and she made it happen. Thank you Abby!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs, so I know how to handle their special care. I’m very experienced in feeding and grooming, and I love the companionship it brings to a family! I am a stay at home mom, and my husband works from home, so there’s always someone there to watch and play with your fur baby! We always have lots of time for walking and playing throughout the day. I have an extremely safe neighborhood with a little park about a 3 minute walk away, two kids that love playing with dogs, (15 and 8) and an extremely friendly mini goldendoodle!

Came home to happy and well-adjusted pets. Logan did a great job socializing with our dogs and very shy cat. Loved the photos she sent us each visit. We could see that they were enjoying their visits from Logan. She was perfect for our quick trip away to move our son off to college.

About: I’ve cared for pets from all walks of life, including small and large dog breeds, cats, and even specialty pets such as bearded dragons and fish. No matter what kind of companion you have, your family member will be in caring and capable hands with me. I also have several years of experience caring for high-maintenance, special-needs, and senior pets, so I understand the extra attention, patience, and individualized care they may require. Having worked in healthcare for several years as well, I recognize the trust involved in entrusting a loved one to someone new and take that responsibility seriously. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in booking or have any questions—I’d love to see if I’d be a good fit for you and your pet. I work full time during the week, but I am available most days after 4/5pm. I am usually open most weekends without time constraints I regularly rotate walks and runs with my own large, high-energy pups to help keep them active and happy. They eat twice a day and enjoy a mixed diet. My cats require a little less hands-on attention, but they can be higher maintenance due to their asthma and picky eating habits. While this is how I care for my own furry family, I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m always happy to adjust to your pet’s individual needs, routine, and preferences

About: Why should I be your sitter?? Great question! I have been an animal lover and pet owner my whole life. I have sitter experience for family, friends and neighbors spanning over 20 plus years. I aim to be very responsive and typically get back to interested clients in under 10 mins. I will provide multiple pictures and videos of any visit! I genuinely love spending time with animals and feel like it is not work to give pets a better life and great care. I specialize in: 1. Senior pets! I love our older furry friends and have many years of experience with medications, dietary needs and comfort for older dogs and cats. 2. Anxious pets! Animals that have separation anxiety, need boundaries when on walks ie. No petting, or triggers like thunderstorms. I have owned pets that have all of the above and sit for them as well. 3. Puppies and kittens! I know many are working on training plans that need a strict adherence. I am happy to work with goals you have for your young learners :) I believe that pets are members of our family and want to give every animal the support they need! If you need references, please reach out! I look forward to caring for your family :) I currently make my own hours so I am flexible to any schedule! I can be available for drop ins or any variety of sitting needs! I have experience with crate training and medication administration. I have watched animals with a variety of behavioral support as well. I am open to meeting your pet where they are at.

About: I grew up with family dogs, and took care of family and friend’s dogs and cats when they were away for extra money as a teen. When I adopted my first pet, I started volunteering at One Tail at a Time where I was trained to feed, socialize, walk, and give medication to rescue cats and dogs per their individual needs. I am a school social worker looking for evenings and weekends from now until late June. I will have full availability through out July and most of August until the school year starts again. I have experience following detailed care plans for small medium and large dogs, including diet, medication, exercise, play, etc. As a part of my volunteer role, I have completed trainings on animal behavior in dogs and cats, and know how to redirect unwanted behaviors safely. As a pet owner, I will treat your pet like my own.

Brianna took care of my cats while my fiancée and I were out of town. It’s a bit difficult to find sitters that can administer oral medicine to cats, and Brianna was able to meet the task, give love to my 2 cats and make sure their area was well kept. She responds quickly to texts as well. If you need a cat sitter, I would recommend her to any client!

Abigail is a great cat sitter. She made a point of visiting our apartment before she started looking after Dash, which put us at ease. She kept us updated on him with photos and observations. She even offered to stop by outside the scheduled time to refill his water. I recommend her!

About: "What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual, not just another booking. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I prioritize clear communication by providing regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I'm also dependable, attentive to safety, and focused on maintaining the same level of care and consistency that the dog receives at home I'm currently between the jobs but looking to switch carriers and become a dog sitter and walker permanently. . . . . . . . I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, providing fresh water, walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I make sure their living areas stay clean, administer medications if needed, and monitor their health and behavior for any changes. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while they're away. In addition, I respect my clients' homes by keeping everything tidy and secure.

Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.

About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.

Leah has been outstanding with our dog and drop in visits. She is very reliable, has been great with communicating and wonderful with attention and care to our furbaby. Our pet was sick one day in the house and Leah cleaned up after her and stayed twice as long at the house to make sure she was okay and the house was set. Talk about going above and beyond!! Highly recommend!!!

Arthur was great with my girls. 2 of them a bit leary with men they don't know well but seems things went well. He locked up when done and they all seemed just fine when I got home. He has a gentle nature with the pups and that is comforting from a stranger. I highly recommend to others and will call Arthur again.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Long Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Long Grove on Rover is $25.53 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 11,769 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Long Grove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Long Grove 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.

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 Long Grove 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 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.

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 Long Grove with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Long Grove. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
