âProfessional, caring, above and beyond. Ethan and Chuck love Ashley! She is an absolute gem and a regular care taker for my boys Thank you again we appreciate youâ

âI think Marilyn was really friendly. She definitely gave a lot of information. She has great prices and gave me updates on the cats and anything I needed information on. I would recommend hiring her again.â

âFaith has watched our Shiba Inus multiple times now, and we couldnât be happier with the care she provides. Sheâs reliable, responsive, and truly great with our dogsâeven administering medication to our elderly Shiba with no issues. Most recently, she helped us out while we were in the hospital for the birth of our son. We werenât sure how many drop-ins weâd need or how long weâd be gone, but she was incredibly flexible and quick to respond. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend!â

âKristi is amazing! Our Maggie really seemed to have gotten lots of loving and play time for our drop in visit. We got lots of videos and photos and reassurance that Maggie was in good hands. We are so happy and excited to book Kristi again!â


âWe are so happy to have found Mary to care for our two cats when we're out of town. She is so kind and treats them like they're family. It's such a relief to not have to worry about things at home while you're away. I can see now why others have given her rave reviews. Would highly recommend her!â

âGreat service. Taylor kept in touch with me the entire time. My BigBoy was taken great care of and Thank you for the extras you took care of too. Will definitely use her again.â

âKim has been great! She has been dropping by to leave our puppy out for a few months now. She always sends updates and pictures on how he is doing. I'm sure he looks forward to the days Kim stops by to let him run around the backyard!â

âHeather did a wonderful job checking in on my cat while I was away on vacation. She showed up on time, spent time playing with her, and made sure she was properly fed and taken care of. I also appreciated her thoughtful updates and photos!â

âUduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.â

About: I was an owner of a 8yr old Cane Corso who has now passed away from bone cancer. She has had 2 litters whom I cared for. 7 puppies each litter for 8 weeks was such an amazing experience!

She is the most sweetest thing and loves to cuddle. She follows me everywhere which we should have named her Shadow. If I could bring all the animals into my home I truly would!

About: Hello! I am a caregiver who truly has a special place in my heart for all animals. My love for pets, especially cats and dogs, started when I was little growing up in a home where our pets were treated like family. We had several dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, rabbit, goats, ferret & even a sweet pig named Bacon. The responsibility of caring for our pets was such a big part of my childhood and I still cherish the time spent with animals any chance I get. Delighted to provide lots of love, attention, and light grooming. I also send pictures/videos to parents while taking care of their babies. My experience includes giving oral and injection-based medication as well as eye drops, ear drops and topical treatments. Iâm also happy to pitch in house tasks, if need be. Your home and pets will be treated with the greatest amount of respect and care. Itâs my top priority to provide peace of mind for pet parents while they are away. My service areas are typically majority of Anne Arundel County. I offer pick ups & drop offs for your convenience if requested!

About: Promo Code for $40 off first time booking for Pet Owners that it is their first time using Rover- AMANDD61392 Friends and Family call me the animal whisperer. I have had a dog/dogs my whole life. I have taken care of dogs from brand new puppies, to babies that were at the end of their life. I'm currently not working full time away from home, so for any boardings that are on week days or weekends, you and your fur babies are good to go. I do have one small dog at home BUT, if you prefer your dogs to be alone while here, my dog is easily brought to his grandparents house:), which they are always happy about. I will update when my work schedule changes. I have a fenced yard (tall privacy wooden fence with sliding deadbolt), and can easily crate dogs if needed. Any animals would have free range of the house and the yard. Your babies are my babies while I am taking care of them.
âWatching our kitties for the 2nd time! Nia continues to be a great sitter for us. I really appreciate her detailed check-ins (more questions is better than winging it), and pix and videos. Cats are happy, even if one of them tends to hide when we're not home :)â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - McKendree
Ruth came by to help out with our two dogs while we were out of state for the day. While we'd met Ruth and Keith once before, we hadn't used their services prior to now. Our two large dogs - specifically the oldest dog - can be VERY stubborn. Like, "might-feel-like-giving-up-convincing-him-to-get-off-the-couch" kinda stubborn. But both Ruth and Keith seemed convinced they could manage it, and they were RIGHT! Ruth came by to help out that day, and she was AWESOME. Apparently, both dogs were easy to deal with (go figure), and they even gave her a little snuggle time while she was here. We will DEFINITELY be contacting Ruth and Keith again in the future. THANK YOU!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 14,022 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McKendree. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 McKendree. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
