“Jennifer was amazing! She kept my fur babies happy and calm while I was away. She sent great pictures of my cats and provided god summaries of what happened during her drop ins. Highly recommend and will very likely to use her in the future!”

“Erica has been great with Enola! She’s reliable, communicative, and I always feel comfortable knowing Enola and Quinn are in good hands when she stops by. She makes sure Enola gets fed, and the both have time to play, and gets them outside for a potty break, and I really appreciate the updates while I’m at work. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing someone I trust is checking in on her. I would definitely recommend Erica to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring with their pets!”

About: I have lived with dogs and cats throughout my life and have more than 30 years of experience caring for them. I currently care for several pets in my own home, so I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, energy level, and individual needs. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. I take time to help each pet feel comfortable and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, a detailed Rover Card, and several photos after every visit. I prefer to meet before the first recurring or extended booking so I can learn your pet’s routine, confirm access instructions, and understand exactly what they need. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I keep my Rover calendar current and only accept visits that fit my availability. This allows me to arrive within the agreed time window and give each pet attentive care without rushing. Before the first booking, I prefer to meet you and your pet, review the care routine, and confirm access instructions. During each visit, I follow your directions closely, check doors and gates, refresh food and water, and make sure your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I provide photos and a clear update after every visit.

About: Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge dog lover. I was raised with a dog and went on to get a dog of my own. A sheltie. He was just 8 weeks old. I had the greatest experience training and raising him. He was my best friend and buddy. He unfortunately passed away at the age of 12. I have a high level of love and compassion for dogs as well as other animals. I am a very patient and love to go on walks, play and cuddle. I have two teenage girls who visit and are just as much a dog lover as myself. I do not work outside the home and have the time and attention to give to your best friend. I live in a quiet and dog friendly neighborhood offering comfortable accommodations. I’m happy to share anymore information you would like

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, but what truly sets me apart is my experience training service dogs. During college, I trained three service dogs and continue supporting the program through annual ADI testing. I’m ADI-accredited, which means I have a strong foundation in dog behavior, obedience, and proper handling. Through this program, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dozens of dogs, many of whom lived in my home for extended periods of time. I’m very comfortable integrating dogs into a household setting, maintaining structure, and keeping routines consistent. From energetic puppies to more anxious or reactive dogs, I’ve seen just about every personality and behavior. I treat every dog as if they were my own; with patience, structure, love, and lots of attention. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and well being will always be my top priority. I work full-time as a fully remote software developer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Because I can work from anywhere and take meetings on the go, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s mid day walks, playtime, or just extra supervision and companionship. I successfully raised a very high energy Golden Retriever puppy while starting this job, so I’m confident in my ability to balance work and attentive care. Providing structure, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day is something I’m very used to. Your dog won’t just be “fit into” my schedule, they’ll be part of my daily routine and cared for with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a very friendly year and half Golden Retriever named Beau who truly loves everyone he meets; dogs, people, and even other animals. He’s well socialized, playful, and gentle. If your dog enjoys companionship, I’m happy to arrange supervised playtime with Beau for extra stimulation and fun. I also have a backyard where they can safely run and play together. That said, I completely understand that not every dog wants a new friend and that’s perfectly okay! Beau can absolutely stay home to ensure your dog feels comfortable and stress free.

“Krista was great!! She came over exactly as scheduled to take our dogs out, feed them and give them some love while we were away for the day. She even came over before our booking to do a meet and greet which helped put our mind at ease leaving the dogs with someone new. They seemed to really love her and I was impressed with how knowledgeable and caring she was! We will absolutely use her again when the need arises ❤️❤️”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. For the past 2.5 years, my wife and I have also been dog parents to our corgi, Riley. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat every dog I care for like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine since we have a dog of our own. I also have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, so I can be around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. We have a dog-friendly home with a fenced-in yard and our friendly corgi, Riley. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

About: I love all kinds of animals from big to small. I can help with potty training and nervous feelings. There is no temperament that I can’t become accustomed to. I’m currently a college student who can be active with your babies and spend time with them when you can’t. I have a more flexible schedule especially for walking and drop ins. I do not have any other animals, and have a big campus for exercise. There are a plethora of grass areas for potty breaks and a fenced field running around.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Minooka

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Minooka is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 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 2,123 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Minooka. 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 Minooka. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
