“Cordigen was very caring. She noted everything I said and went above and beyond to take care of Nayo. Nayo was so happy every day when she came! We had a great peace of mind the few days we were away.”
“My dog Harvey loves Vicky! she’s dependable, always on time and does everything we ask of her when she comes in for drop in visits. We have already rebooked her. She’s great!”
About: I love pets of all kinds, and find it very rewarding to gain their trust and make sure they are living their best life while their owner is away! I have experience with small to medium-large dogs since childhood, and had a senior cat for the last 5 years. I am good at picking up on body language queues or behavior changes, especially in more subtle and shy pets. I have lots of experience with administering medications, including with dogs suspicious of pill wrap and cats who have figured out all nicer methods besides the pill gun/liquid syringe. I occasionally travel for contract work, but keep my calendar religiously up-to-date and have plenty of daytime/evening availability! The more time in advance I get, the more likely I can plan around your pet's needs and ensure availability. I make sure to ask the important questions upfront so to minimally disturb your time away! I also have a sixth sense for when pets get into things they aren't supposed to, and if house-sitting am attuned to their (& your belongings' lol) safety!
“Leaving your pets to go on a trip can be stressful, even more so if they have health conditions. However, rest assured that your pets will be in great hands with Shannon. She was absolutely wonderful with our kitties. Not only she carefully followed all of our instructions, including administering medications and providing extra attention to some of our kitties when needed. She truly went above and beyond to keep our kitties comfortable, happy and healthy. Throughout our time away, Shannon was in regular contact with us and provided thoughtful updates and observations about our kitties. We could enjoy our trip knowing that someone really cared about our pets.”
About: My name is Olga and I am thrilled to host your furry friend through this amazing pet grooming platform. As a passionate animal enthusiast, I understand the importance of providing a safe and loving environment for pets when their owners are away. About me: I have been an avid animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was always filled with joy and companionship from a variety of pets, from cute dogs to playful cats and even the occasional feathered friend. My sincere love for animals has only deepened over the years. Since I move a lot, I cannot afford to have my own dog, so I am ready to give warmth and care to your pet. Your pet's stay: During your pet's stay with me, you can expect regular photo updates and check-ins so you can see how much fun he is having. I understand that every pet is unique and try to tailor their experience to suit their individual needs and preferences. Safety first: Rest assured, your pet's safety is my top priority. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly, hazard-free environment and am familiar with basic pet first aid. Let's connect: I'm so excited to meet you and your furry family members! If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, do not hesitate to contact us. Together we can provide your pets with an unforgettable experience. We look forward to making new furry friends! Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine. I prioritize dedicated time for walks, play, and feeding. Mornings usually kick off with an energizing walk, followed by playtime in the afternoon. Evenings involve another stroll for some fresh air. Daily routines help establish a sense of consistency and comfort for the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Additionally, I work remotely and thats why I stay flexible and adaptable to accommodate each pet's unique needs and preferences. In my home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and fun for your pet, offering regular walks, playtime, and a consistent feeding schedule. I create a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring a home-away-from-home experience. When caring for pets at the client's home, I adapt to their routines, following feeding schedules, replicating familiar activities, and maintaining clear communication to provide a seamless and comfortable experience for their pets.
“Daisy came to look after our very shy cat for July 4th weekend. She was available at the last minute (when our other Rover had a family emergency). She was able to follow written instructions and keep our cat happy, clean and fed. She bought in parcels (even though they were not on the instructions).”
“We highly recommend Ching-Yuan as a sitter, he went above and beyond for our two cats while we were overseas and provided us reassurance that they were well taken care of and loved. Ching-Yuan was diligent and followed the instructions provided without fail.”
“Candy did a fabulous job watching our cat when we were Away for four days. She has such a good energy vibe with animals and truly loves them. I know Murphy felt very loved and attended to and we loved getting photos from Candy on how he was doing”
“Conner took great care of my cat. He kept her basic needs (food, water, litter box) met, and played with her and hung out with her to keep her from getting lonely. I would definitely book with Conner again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! Over the past year, I’ve gained experience providing dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. Many of the pets I care for are repeat clients, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work part-time, so my schedule can vary from week to week. I keep my calendar updated and communicate any availability changes as early as possible. I’m available for pet care throughout the week! I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of attention to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
About: “Caring for dogs is an act of love, precision, and presence—and that’s exactly what I offer.” Hi, I’m Gabriela. I’m a clinical psychologist, groomer and a passionate dog caregiver. My journey in pet care didn’t begin with a course—it began at home, with my own dog, who has a condition called malabsorption syndrome. He taught me—day by day—how to be patient, consistent, and attentive to every small detail. With him, I learned that not all dogs need the same kind of care. True care is not just about feeding, walking, or playing—it’s about observing, adapting, and being truly present. It’s knowing when a dog needs space, when they need comfort, and when they just need someone who understands them. As a psychologist, I’m currently specializing in the human-animal bond, exploring how this connection can bring emotional well-being to both people and pets. This gives me a unique approach to pet care—one that is safe, mindful, and deeply respectful. 🦴 I have experience with: • Dogs with medical or special dietary needs. • Sensitive or anxious dogs, or those with trauma. • Transitions and separation anxiety (like when their humans go on vacation). • Dogs who need structure and routine. My care style is calm, structured, and full of affection, always personalized to meet each dog’s needs. Every dog that stays with me is treated as unique, and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, seen, and loved. Pet care is naturally part of my daily life. As a dog mom to a pup with special needs, my routine is already centered around structured feeding, walks, medication, and emotional support. I work from home most days, which allows me to offer consistent supervision, playtime, and a calm, loving environment for the dogs I care for. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a safe, fenced patio where they can enjoy outdoor time, and inside, they’re part of a calm and loving environment. I set up cozy beds in my room so they can sleep close by, just like a little pack. I follow each pet’s routine closely—meals, walks, rest—and offer plenty of affection, structure, and presence. My goal is for them to feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home.
“I am so grateful to have found Kiana on Rover . Kiana was amazing with our two cats. She spent a very generous amount of time and effort making them feel loved and comfortable. Kiana is flexible and easy to work with. It gives me comfort knowing our fur babies are in the best of hands. I would absolutely recommend and I will utilize her in the future. Thank you, Kiana!!!”
“Brittany took great care of our cat for a week while we were out of town! She was happy to provide more detail on our cat's litterbox, food and water, and play habits in her Rover cards. She also takes the absolute cutest photos; the only drawback is that her photos will make you wish you were home with your pet! She took time to play with our very attention-needy kitty (who took to Brittany immediately), and kindly did unsolicited things like take in our mail. We were a bit anxious since this was our first time leaving our cat at home alone, the trip was fairly long, and it was our first time using Rover - but Brittany did not disappoint. I recommend her for cat care drop-in visits!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my compassionate, patient approach and real experience caring for pets at all stages of life. I stick to your pet’s schedule, making them feel safe, loved, and cared for—just like family I'm currently unemployed and Pet care is a part of my daily routine because animals bring me joy, structure, and purpose. I plan my day around their needs—whether that means early morning walks, regular feeding times, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time in the evening My goal is to make pets feel at home—safe, loved, and never stressed. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can relax and feel at ease.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Loyola
We had a wonderful experience with Xiao! She's very responsible. Before her visit, she set up a video call with us to understand our needs. During the visit, she sent us several photos of our cats while she played with them, and she patiently helped us set up our automatic litter box. She even went above and beyond by watering our plants! We'll definitely book her again next time.
I found Barbara to be attuned to my Ragdoll cats needs. She was gentle with them understanding their shyness in accepting her. She was excellent in keeping me informed about their care through texting and photos. I appreciated all the time she spent with them. I would definitely ask her again!
As good as usual! Always like Mireya’s story. It’s been part of my trip every time waiting for her notes. Recently my house has ant problem. Mireya was also very nice rinsing the cat food bowl. Before she left the house, my cat was trying to poop on the bed. Thanks god Mireya stopped my cat from doing that. Can’t thank her more!
Caroline was great! She came every day as scheduled, gave the one cat his 2 medicines, and spoiled both my kitties with treats and playtime. They were happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Even the plants looked better than when I left them. I'll call on Caroline again!
Lisa took great care of my two cats! One of them is very shy and the other is super playful, but Lisa made sure both felt comfortable and gave my active cat plenty of fun playtime. This isn't the first time I've hired Lisa, but it was her first time caring for both cats together, and as always, she did a fantastic job. Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Loyola is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 8,319 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Loyola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Loyola. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
