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!

This was my first time working with Amanda. She met at the house for a pre-trip meeting and was very engaged with meeting my cat and understanding the set up. Excellent job taking care of my old cat while I was abroad. She provided good communication and photos. I strongly recommend Amanda for cat sitting.

Miriam was great with my dogs while I was out of town and the last minute booking wasn't an issue. One of my dogs takes medicine every few hours and Miriam was able to administer it with no problems.

Emily is great. I can tell she really cares for animals and my dog (and fish) would agree. She’s punctual and shared plenty of picture updates while we were away. I definitely recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs! 😃

Reggi did great with our two labs! She stopped over during the day and let them out and fed them their dinner for us since our work schedule was so busy last week. Our dogs loved her! She was very professional and always texted me pictures and kept me up to date with what was going on. I really appreciated her help and look forward to her dog sitting for us over night in August.

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!

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!

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have cared for dogs of all ages. My two senior dogs, King and Ozzie, have taught me patience, gentle care, and that sometimes pets just need you to slow down and meet them where they are. 🐾❤️ I’m a cat lover too! We have three cats of our own—Church, Girl, and Iris. One of them came to us from outside, so I understand that every cat has their own personality, comfort level, and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to let cats warm up to me at their own pace. 🐱❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I follow their normal routine, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they’re secure during walks and visits. I’m also respectful of your home and will treat your pet and their space with the same care I give my own. 🐾❤️

Joyce was great! She came on short notice to give my dog Rue her epilepsy medication and was super prompt, reliable, and sweet. I appreciated how efficient and low-maintenance she was—didn’t need much direction and handled everything smoothly. Will definitely book her again!

About: Hi! I'm Jacqui, and I've been surrounded by cats my entire life. As the proud cat mom of four, I know firsthand that every cat has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves constant attention, I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. During each visit, I'll provide fresh food and water, clean the litter box, administer basic care as instructed, and spend quality time with your cat based on their individual preferences. Some cats love to play, while others simply appreciate a calm, reassuring presence—and I'm happy to meet them where they are. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I'll treat your cats as if they were my own, providing dependable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your feline family! 🐾 I am a teacher, so I am working during the day, but I am available for drop in visits on weekdays after 3, and/or anytime on the weekends! I genuinely love spending time with cats and getting to know each one's unique personality. One of my favorite parts of cat sitting is earning a cat's trust, whether they're playful and outgoing or shy and reserved. Every visit is an opportunity to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a timid cat come out for pets or having a playful cat greet me at the door. Knowing I can provide peace of mind for both cats and their owners is what I enjoy most.

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 have lots of experience with cats and dogs, big or small. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, rats, rabbits, reptiles, and fish! I have experience giving injections and oral meds and I’m super comfortable with doing so. Also, I have experience watching pets post-op, as well as puppies and dogs with anxiety. I have a full time job Monday-Friday, but would love to care for your pet on weekends and evenings. I’m available most weekday evenings for walks or drop ins, and I’m available anytime on weekends for walks or drop ins. I’d love to be a great companion to your pet while you trust me with their care. I love playing with high energy dogs to get their energy out, but I also respect pets who need chill/alone time.

Chloe was wonderful with our dog and cat! They really responded well to her 😊 Our dog was walked daily and our cat's litterbox was monitored and cleaned out. Our cat got quite attached to Chloe when she was here 😊 She provided us with pictures and little updates to let us know they were doing well. The floor of the house where the pets stayed looked fantastic and the kitchen was cleaned of all the pets paraphernalia. Chloe did an amazing job! We would definitely have her sit for our pets again 🥰

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! 🐾❤️

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 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 .

As of August 2026, there are 517 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
  • 97% 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.
