“We couldn’t have asked for a better overnight sitter than Evelyn. She took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away, and it was clear from the moment we walked in they’d been well loved. She was attentive and responsive throughout the stay, always quick to answer messages and kept us updated. We came home to a tidy house and 3 relaxed pets. Thank you Evelyn!”

“Kimberly took amazing care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 3 days. She sent pictures and updates daily. The dogs loved being with her and our house was very clean when we got home. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have lived with dogs all my life. I used to take care of my old neighbors 2 Pitbulls, when he was out of town or was gone for most of the day. Currently have 2 cats, had for over 5 years, since they were kittens. I work Monday to Friday 8:30am-5:30pm with an hour lunch starting at 12:30. If your house is close enough to my warehouse I will be able to visit them during my lunch hour for drop-in/walk. In my house, the pets are fully inside cats. We make sure to open blinds during the day so they have places to lie in the sun, which they love. They are dry food once a day and wet food every other day. Whatever the client needs to be done for the pet I will do to the best of my abilities.
About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.
“Sara stayed with our motley crew of critters while we went away for a long weekend. They’re somewhat high maintenance and I left feeling confident they’d be well cared for. Sara provided updates whenever asked and everyone was happy and healthy upon our return! Thanks Sara!”
“Grace was great & so sweet. She was very flexible with us on the times we needed her. Her & our dog, Boston, hit it off right away. We were able to have a peace of mind while we were out of town for the weekend knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely be working with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since age 10. We’ve always had at least 2 dogs of our own and have fostered consistently as well. I spend my free time volunteering at the Aurora Animal Shelter and feel comfotable working with dogs of all sizes! I also house/dog sit frequently for multiple people in the area I’m currently in college but I only have class three days a week. I live at home so my I am able to be very flexible with my schedule. I have a large amount of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have grown up around animals and am very comfortable caring for them.
About: I’ve handled pets of my own and have provided at home care for friends or family members my whole life. When needed I’ve boarded animals at my own home for friends or family. There’s nothing like a good break with furry friends that helps the day go by. Currently I have a flexible scheduled and enjoy the opportunity. I always make sure that animals are given loving attention. It’s important that they are provided with the bathroom, sleeping and toy accommodations they deserve and the exercise they need. I understand the need for routine.
“Aaliyah was amazing! She took great care of our house and our dog. We have a nervous guy that got freaked out by the thunderstorms but Aaliyah knew just how to make him feel safe and secure. So glad we booked her and would definitely book her again!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been around pets my entire life. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I've been dog sitting for ten years. During that time, I've cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, administering medications when needed, overnight stays, and extended care for a week or longer while families are away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're gone. Whether your dog needs an energetic walking buddy, a dependable sitter for a quick check-in, or someone to provide attentive care during a longer vacation, you can count on me. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently enrolled in an online graduate program, so I am available at any time you will need care for your pet, any day, night, week, or weekend! Initial Consultation: Before the pet owner leaves, I arrange a meeting to get acquainted with the dog and discuss their routine, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner might have. Establish Routine: Dogs thrive on routine, so I maintain consistency with feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest periods to ensure they feel secure and settled. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise is vital for a dog's physical and mental well-being. I schedule daily walks, engaging games, and interactive toys to keep them active and entertained. Nutritious Meals: Following the owner's guidelines, I provide balanced and timely meals, ensuring the dog receives proper nutrition. I also monitor their water intake to keep them hydrated. Safe Environment: I dog-proof the indoor and outdoor areas to prevent accidents or injuries. Hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I supervise the dog closely, especially if they're exploring new surroundings.
“Riley is amazing with our three dogs. Two of them are really easy, but our recently adopted pup is still adjusting to life in our home and new people. Riley took that all in stride. She took great care of our house and dogs. Would definitely book again!”

About: Animals have been an important part of my life since I was a teenager, when my family had dogs and I learned the responsibility that comes with caring for them. Over the years, I have had both dogs and cats and have cared for them through every stage of life—from the excitement and energy of their first days with me to providing love, patience, and comfort during their final moments. These experiences have taught me that caring for a pet is about much more than feeding and walks. It’s about understanding their personalities, routines, needs, and the little things that make them feel safe and loved. I know how deeply pets become part of the family, and I would care for yours with the same kindness, attention, and respect I have always given my own. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship. Because I’m home for much of the day, your pets won’t have to spend long periods alone. I enjoy having furry companions nearby while I work and can adjust my routine to fit their individual needs and usual schedule. Whether they’re energetic and ready for a walk or happiest curled up beside me, I’m happy to give them the attention and company that makes them feel comfortable and loved. I have experience caring for pets and understand the importance of keeping them comfortable, happy, and secure while their owners are away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, companionship, and each pet’s individual routine and personality. I’m equally respectful when caring for someone’s home. I keep things clean, tidy, and secure, follow instructions carefully, and treat every home as if it were my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and happy to provide regular updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets and home are being well cared for.
“Shannon did an excellent job house sitting our 3 dogs!!! She appropriately stayed in communication and sent pictures. She was timely, and our house was clean when we got home. Shannon was genuinely invested in the care of our dogs. She gave meds, fed and played outside with them. Our dogs were genuinely happy when we returned home, and it was obvious that they were very well cared for while we were away. I will be booking Shannon for house sitting again in the near future, and I would highly recommend her to anyone else. Thank you Shannon!!”

About: I have a ton of experience pet sitting and checking in on pets throughout the day as well as dog walking. I also have a lot of experience working with senior aged animals. I am very confident in my skills and would love the opportunity to help out anyone who needs it. I am super flexible with hours and always available. I am currently on summer break from school so right now I have all the time in the world. Once September starts I will have to go back to school but I only have a few classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so I would only be away from, the animals for two hours at most. Caring for pets in their home is my preferred way to do it because they are familiar with the environment. I have experience watching pets in all types of and different types of outdoor access. So even if there is no screened in fence, I am able to deal with that.

About: I have training experience and boarding experience. I’ve been doing this for over 2+ years. I know the signs to watch out for for aggression and seizures. I am doing this full-time as my job to take care of others fur babies while they’re away on vacation. In a home setting like there’s. I have a yard to play in and my dog loves playing with others. We do so many activities. I have crates if needed& beds
About: I had experience taking care of dogs as a kid. I have been entrusted with checking in on, feeding, loving and caring for dogs of friends, neighbors, and family. I am confident in my ability to handle reactive or anxious dogs. I can read a dogs language (stress, aggression, excitement). I can maintain safety such as making sure the dog is leashed in a busy environment. I keep aware of hazards such as heat, and other dogs. I am on time, and understand what it means to be consistent for routines of dogs, provide clear communication and updates and respect client homes and instructions. I pay attention to detail such as changes in dog behavior, appetite or energy, signs of illness or injury, and owner preferences for routes and pace. I am patient and adaptable. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets in my care. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins throughout the day to ensure pets stay comfortable and on their normal routine. I’m also mindful of providing attention, exercise, and a calm environment so they feel safe and cared for. On a weekly basis, I keep my schedule organized to accommodate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and maintain a clean, pet-friendly space. I also make sure I have flexibility for longer walks, or extra visits when needed. Reliability and consistency are important to me, so I prioritize being available and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. 1) My Home- Daily care: Feed according to the owner’s schedule and instructions Provide constant access to fresh water Maintain routines (walks, playtime, rest) Comfort & safety: Pet-proof your home (no toxic plants, cords, or open exits) Give them a dedicated space (crate, bed, or quiet room) Separate pets if needed to avoid stress or aggression Exercise & enrichment: Walk dogs regularly Provide toys, puzzles, and interaction Adjust activity based on age, breed, and energy level Hygiene: Clean up accidents immediately Scoop litter boxes daily Keep bedding and feeding areas clean 2) Clients Home- Follow instructions exactly: Stick to feeding times, portions, and diet Administer medications if required Respect house rules (furniture, access areas) Routine care: Walk dogs and allow bathroom breaks Clean litter boxes and cages Provide companionship and attention Home respect & security: Keep the home clean and tidy Lock doors/windows and follow security instructions Handle keys responsibly Communication: Send updates, photos, or videos Report any concerns immediately (health or behavior changes)

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Maple Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maple Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Maple Park 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
