About: 👋 I’m Leah, also known as Busy Bee All Animal Sitting Services. 🐝 While you're busy, I keep your pets happy and healthy. Pet sitting is my full-time job and I’m licensed, insured and bonded, and certified with 2 pet professional associations. Check out my Facebook at Busy Bee All Animal Sitting Services for more info. I’ve worked professionally with pets of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I have experience with dogs, cats, and exotics - rabbits, rodents, turtles/tortoises, etc. - there is not one I do not love! All pets are awesome and deserve only the best. I'm available 24/7 and in case of emergencies. My schedule is highly flexible. I've even taken care of animals as owners went into labor. If you become a client of mine, you will be notified months in advance if I ever need to go out of town. I provide in your home visits for all animals and dog walks. I do have pets of my own but I am open to discussing overnight visits or short in my home stays for repeat clients. I practice safe handling and walking techniques. I can feed, clean, play and snuggle, and safely administer medication as requested. I provide care just as you would. The animals are what keep me going and I take my work very seriously. It is of utmost importance to me to first have a meet and greet to understand all about your pets and how I will be providing the best services I can. Safety is my number one priority. In the event of a question or a concern during visits, you will always be notified immediately. I pet sit because providing for animals is not only my passion but my lifelong profession. I am in it for the long haul and want to be there for you and your best friends.

About: I worked in an animal hospital for a couple of years. I have watched furbabies (cats and dogs) of family and friends for many years and even have office dogs at my job! I am mainly available during the weekends but can occasionally do evenings during the weekdays after my full time job. I work from home during Fridays so I am fully available then too. I would prefer to pet sit in an environment that your furbaby is already familiar with aka your home! I’d also be happy to take them (dogs) to a park or trail for them to explore as I love taking long walks.

“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”

“Kaelyn was absolutely wonderful, scheduled the meet and greet quickly, my fur baby, Juicy, loved her. She sent photos every day, and I could see she was so comfortable with her. Made my trip away from my Juice so much easier to tolerate. Will be booking her moving forward whenever needed. Highly recommend. Juice and I thank you, Kaelyn!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.

About: Hi! I’m a part-time student with a lifelong passion for dogs, and I'm so excited to take care of your fur baby. I grew up around large breeds like Cane Corsos and Pit Bulls, so I’m completely comfortable and confident handling dogs of all sizes—from small pups to big breeds. I’m also happy to help with basic obedience training and can safely administer any required medications. I have a 4-year-old Goldendoodle named Koda who loves active days, and I’m always eager to take dogs on fun, refreshing walks to local parks. Whether your dog needs energetic exercise, gentle reinforcement of good habits, or precise daily care, I’ll treat them with the love and attention they deserve! As a part-time student, my schedule is flexible, giving me plenty of time to focus on your pet. I organize my day around their normal routine—ensuring timely feedings, medication, potty breaks, play sessions, and park walks so they feel comfortable and well cared for. I prioritize a secure, attentive, and stress-free environment for your pet, whether I'm caring for them in your home or on walks. I’m comfortable managing dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I always send frequent photo and video updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away.

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I’ve owned many dogs and have taken care of and pet sit for my family and friends. I really enjoy the company and the energy that animals bring. I will match that energy that they have.

I love giving attention to my clients animals and make sure they are having fun and that they are comfortable. I make sure they have used the bathroom and I am also very good at reading the animals body language. I have been around a lot of animals as I’ve grown up.

About: I’ve had 3 dogs during my entire life all whom i’ve loved immensely. I’ve dog sat for many family/ friends and they’ve all had me come back to dog sit again! i love doing it :) I work part time at a coffee shop, so i’d have to work around that, i’m looking for a flexible schedule but to be able to fill my time in with animals! I have a small dog myself, if i were to have any body else’s dog at my home i would crate my dog just because he gets too playful when he’s with other dogs and can tend to be more aggressive

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.

Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 per visit. 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.

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.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

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 , 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.
