“Suzanne took such great care of our pets! She was really communicative and let us know she was concerned about one of our cats not eating (due to missing us.) It was the first time we left our pets in the hands of someone through Rover and Suzanne exceeded our expectations! We are so thankful to her.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away
About: As a veterinary student, I bring a calm, knowledgeable, and detail oriented approach to every pet I care for. My background gives me a strong foundation in animal behavior, so I’m comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and creating a low stress, positive environment for pets of all personalities. I also have hands‑on experience with senior pet care, including medication administration, mobility support, and adapting routines to keep older pets comfortable and happy. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to the small details that help pets feel safe and understood. I’m currently on summer break, which means my schedule is wide open and very flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each visit is calm, unhurried, and focused entirely on your pet. Because I’m not in classes right now, I can offer consistent routines, extra attention, and plenty of time for enrichment, walks, or quiet companionship. Your pet gets reliable care, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who’s fully present and attentive. My background has trained me to read animal behavior and stress signals, so I always approach pets gently and at their comfort level. I follow your care instructions closely; feeding routines, medications, enrichment, litter box care, and any house rules you have. I double check doors, gates, and latches every visit to keep your pet secure. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and make sure everything is exactly as you left it. During visits, I prioritize low stress handling, clean water, safe play, and a calm environment. I pay attention to changes in appetite, behavior, or energy so I can update you right away. You’ll always get clear communication and detailed updates, because trust and transparency matter.
“Lisa and her daughter have been helping my fiancé and I out with our puppy Rudy! They have amazing communication and show they really care about our pets. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I grew up on a farm and we've always had 3 dogs and 2 cats along with a plethora of other animals. I know how to ensure safety and have a clear head when things go awry. I absolutely adore dogs and cats of all ages and can competently take care of any range of behaviors. I'm a ballerina and a personal trainer. But I will absolutely check in, walk or play with your pet any chance that I get! Normally it would be in the morning or near the evening. My schedule is more open on the weekends. I am a very precautious person when it comes to the safety of your pets. I always double check instructions and make sure the door or cage is secure before I leave. I also will give them all the love and attention they could want.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. My first dog, Buddy, got me through some awkward stages in my adolescence. Moved on to two loving beauties, Pit/Pointer and a Great Dane/Mastiff . Heartbreak as we said goodbye to our babies, but now we snuggle with our cuddle bug Blaze and our Great Dane puppy, Daisy May. My family and I have also watched and cared for other dogs, earning trust and loyalty with families and their fur babies. I am fortunate enough to be home by 3:45pm every day. Being a special education teacher, I get to enjoy my breaks and days off at home. Caring for animals is our top priority in our house. This means, constant play time, walks, and lots of cuddles. We keep our routine of feeding and walking any dogs that are at our home. We have two of our own dogs, Black Lab and a Great Dane, both are the sweetest and have always been around other dogs and children, with no concerns.
“Jacquelyn and Ryan arrived on time and immediately connected with my senior fur babies. They were gentle and kind to me (as I am recovering from surgery and can't do much yet) and to my dogs. I trusted them and look forward to using their services again soon!”
“Lauren was wonderful! I was in a bind and needed someone last minute and she came through. My dog is very wary of strangers but warmed up to Lauren quickly. I am already booking her again and would definitely recommend.”
“Katie watched our 7 month old Rottie and was super sweet and patient with him. Puppies are crazy and our Rottweiler pup is big and is still learning to walk appropriately with us. I absolutely recommend Katie to other pup parents!”
“Bob does a great job taking care of our puppy while we’re at work! He makes sure our puppy gets lots of playtime and attention! Even on a snowy day, Bob made sure she got plenty of outside time 😊”
“Savanna was great with our two cats for drop in visits, with even our shy cat loving her by the end of the week! She was reliable and excellent with communication. We will pick Savanna next time we need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had plenty of different experiences with dogs ranging from larger, lower energy breeds like a Newfoundland to higher energy breeds like German short-haired pointer as well as other breeds like English sheep dogs, Malinois, and shih tzu's. I engage with dogs whenever I can, and I simply believe that all they need to be happy is to have someone with them that wants to spend as much time with them as they do! I currently work part time, but I have lots of open time for walks, typically in the morning or later in the day (work shifts usually last from 3pm until 7pm). I have a very high energy dog (German Short haired pointer), and I have had him since 2020, and he was a nightmare to train, but now I feel like a super mom when it comes to dogs because I have yet to meet another dog anywhere near the craziness of this breed.
“Brooke was able to bump up our appointment time last minute. She was a life savor when I noticed our pup had started tearing her bed apart on our petcam and got over there asap! She is great with our pup and is very reliable and trustworthy — great sitter!”
About: I used to sneak homeless dogs and cats home when I was little. I couldn't wait to have my own pets. We now have two dogs who are friendly with people, cats, and other dogs....they've been professionally obedience trained. I stay home all day and there is only two of us in the house (no kids), two acre wooded lot in a beautiful estate. Our pets are potty trained and crate trained, up to date with all vet visits, necessary lab tests and vaccination. Our dogs chill out at home or go outside in a fenced in yard. We go for walks too.
About: I have taken care of big dogs. We had 3 big dogs at for several years, Bullmastiff, Bullmastiff/ Black lab mix, Coonhound shepherd. I trained these dogs to behave to be able to walk them all at the same time without incident. Today I only have a Dalmatian/ retriever mix. I can provide bathing, grooming, play time, feeding, walking and dog socialization. I'm available for care on the weekends Sat. and Sunday from 9am to 8pm. I can come to you home up to 3 times a day. I live in a townhouse, so I walk my dog 3 times a day and take her to the dog park to have play time with her friends.
“Victoria has been great with Sierra. She was able to make a very shy 4 month old puppy feel comfortable and happy right away. Now Sierra gets so excited when Victoria comes to let her out, walk her and play with her. Communication has been great and she’s always on time to let Sierra out. Looking forward to Sierra having a long-term loving pet sitter.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I have been watching dogs since I was 13! I worked at an animal shelter/clinic for a year as well! I love animals and have a dog of my own! I have experience with specialized care for pets (medications, strict diets, etc.) as well as a vast range of experience with different animals! I am very active and live right next to the forest preserve. I love being outside with my dog as much as I can! I am off every weekend and stay home almost all day on the weekends. I am able to drop in for visits or walks on weekday evenings! I have a completely fenced in yard! I also allow pets on the furniture and in bed! If I am watching the pets at your house, I’ll follow whatever rules you normally have for your pet!

Amanda was great. Larry got to go out and play and also got fed in a timely manner. I was able to go to see the Nascar race in Joliet while not having to worry about Larry being locked in the house. Perfect plan. This was my first experience with Rover. Worked out well.

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 Mokena 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.
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 Mokena 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Mokena with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
