Joyce responded to our request for a sitter immediately, even with a day’s notice to start. She was extremely patient and caring with our old, particular dog and went out of her way to make sure our dog felt cared for and had fun while we were gone. We’d recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!

I have a very shy cat who while loves pets and attention runs to hide with people he doesn't know. Jayme was able to coax him out w/treats the first day she was here and he loved her. It felt great having someone here who he trusted right away! Highly recommend!!

Petrea was very efficient and Sweeeet. I’d never been away longer than a day with my kitty. This was a week and she was played with and fed well and got better every day with her fear. Pictures were sent to me every day. Came home to a healthy baby. Thank you Petrea. I’ll use her again for sure!

Sort of a last minute event happens and could not take my pup with me. Charley came over for the meet and greet the next day and we were able to schedule my times without a problem. First time using rover and Charley and. Anthony exceeded any ideas I had about using this app. Would definitely recommend them to take great care of your fur babies!

Karen was great with our old man cat. He's a bit shy but loves attention and so it was nice to see that he warmed up to her quickly. She was responsive, caring, and took care of all the cat's needs without ever missing a step. We'll definitely rebook if we're traveling out of town again in the future!

About: I grew up around dogs my whole life, thats how I learned responsibility. Helping my family take care of dogs feeding, walking, and training as far back as I can remember. Various breeds including dobermans, terriers (jack, pits, etc) Rottweilers, boxers, etc. I've also been the trusted person around town that family friends would pay to watch their dogs, including too many breeds to name! That started in my teens as soon as I could drive to the houses. Im now 32 with a year old pittie and an almost year old German shepard. I have trained both myself (not certified nor looking to train) but I take pride in building relationships with dogs. Any age, any breed, ill treat your pet with as much love and care as you can wish for! I've administered meds, dealt with social/separation anxiety and nothing scares me away to give the patience and time your pet deserves. I work full-time with a very set and reliable schedule. M-F 845am to 515pm. I can stop by both before and after work, for breakfast and stay longer after to ensure more playtime and care. If distance permits, can also stop by at lunch. Weekends are completely open for whatever you wish for your pet. I do have a fully fenced in back yard and both my dogs are friendly, although I don't offer overnight boards in my own home I will welcome weekend day care in my home. Otherwise, I have no issue with crate trained pups. You supply the rules and I will abide with your wishes when it comes to your own in home care.

Zyaria is awesome! She is very responsive for questions and communicate very well about giving care of our pet. During her first visit, we had a little problem about getting inside of the house and she can't get hold of me because my phone wasn't on sight. She reached out to my bf and was very patient and helpful resolving the whole situation. My dog is a senior dog and requires some extra steps of care, and she handled it very well. I will definitely come to her for more care service in the future!

Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!

Amanda stopped in to care for our furry “kids” yesterday. She did a great job of communicating with us while taking care of them. She even thought to leave the outside lights on for us as it would be dark when we returned home. Happy to say our search for a new pet sitter has had great results. We will not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Amanda?

I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received! From the moment I met Medea, it was clear that she is incredibly conscientious, dependable, and genuinely love animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed every instruction carefully, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It was great knowing my pets were in such capable and caring hands. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything exactly as we left it. It’s rare to find someone who is so attentive, trustworthy, and professional.

I highly recommend her! We used the drop-in visit service 3 times a day for 5 days while I was away. She was very friendly, reliable, and took great care of my dog. She made sure he got plenty of walks, stayed on top of his allergy medication, and always had fresh food, water, and treats. I was so happy knowing he was getting attention and care while I was gone. Unfortunately, my pup wasn’t the happiest camper because he’s my little Velcro dog and is used to going everywhere with me! That has nothing to do with the care he received—she did a wonderful job. If anything, this experience taught me that next time I’ll probably book an overnight or house-sitting service for him. Thank you for taking such great care of my boy. I would definitely book again! 🐾❤️

This was my first time using Rover, and Jaymee exceeded all of my expectations! From the very beginning, she made me feel completely at ease leaving my furbabies in her care. Before we even booked, she arranged a meet and greet so we could get to know each other and make sure it was a good fit for both us and our pets. That extra step gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. While I was away, Jaymee kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which I greatly appreciated. It was so reassuring to see my furbabies happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She also followed all of the instructions I left with great attention and care. I would absolutely recommend Jaymee to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. I won't hesitate to book with her again the next time I need pet care!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Loves Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Loves Park on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 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 .

As of July 2026, there are 525 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Loves Park. 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 Loves Park 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.

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

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
