About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a bunny. I've had pets of all sizes and personalities and know how important it is to have someone you trust when you're away. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or a relaxing walk, I treat every pet like my own. Let me give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve💜 I work from home most weekdays and have flexibility to pop in and spend some time with your fur babies or stay a few hours and work from your home. I can either go to your house and spend a few minutes or a few hours depending on you and your fur babies needs. Open to options

About: What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make each one feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to work with energetic puppies who need consistency, positive reinforcement, and help learning good habits, as well as senior pets who may need a gentler pace, extra attention, and a little more patience. I believe in following each pet’s established routine, paying attention to changes in behavior, and treating every animal with kindness and respect. As a pet owner myself, I know these animals are family, not just pets. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your four-legged family members are in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I believe animals thrive on consistency, attention, and companionship. I understand the importance of maintaining their regular feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and rest. I plan my time around the needs of the pets in my care so they receive dependable attention rather than being treated like another item on a checklist. I'm comfortable getting outdoors for walks and play, as well as slowing down for pets who prefer a quieter pace. I also understand the importance of keeping owners updated, following their instructions, and making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable while they're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that fits each pet's individual routine. My approach to pet care is built on patience, attentiveness, and respect for each animal's individual needs. In a client's home, I do my best to keep pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I follow the owner's instructions carefully, keep their home tidy, and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention and companionship. I pay attention to each pet's personality and comfort level, whether that means getting outside for exercise and exploration, spending time playing, or simply providing calm company. I'm also mindful of safety, keeping pets secure and watching for changes in their behavior or well-being. When caring for pets in my own home, I would prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment, while making sure any arrangements are appropriate for the pet's temperament and needs. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience and respect I'd want someone to show my own pets, and I want owners to feel confident that their companions are in good hands.

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals, having grown up on a farm where I looked after dogs, cats, and larger animals from a very young age. This background taught me how to read animal behavior and handle different temperaments with patience and care My schedule is very flexible for walks, feeding, and playtime. I am typically available in the early mornings until 7h30, afternoons and on weekends, but I am always happy to discuss specific needs to see if I can make it work for your schedule! While I generally do not host pets at my home, I am open to discussing boarding options for urgent situations. I am very responsible and attentive to instructions, ensuring your pet's routine is followed exactly as you prefer. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities!

About: I’ve been a dog walker/dog sitter for almost 10 years. I love all animals especially dogs and would love to help with any services you may need. I had a dog of my own for most of my childhood that sadly passed away of old age a few years ago so now I love to care for other’s furry families ☺️ I always had a love for animals and I’m currently enrolled online to become a veterinary tech and feel like I learn more and more everyday by being around other’s pets. I work from home and have my 8 year old son with me who loves animals as well. We’re really looking forward to hearing from you and working with you soon! Thank you 😊

About: As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own. My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals! As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.

About: I have loved and cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me how important patience, kindness, and attention are to their well-being. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I enjoy spending time with animals, taking walks, playing, and making sure they feel happy and cared for while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pet the same love and attention I would give my own. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and take seriously. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I moved to another country because of the war in my homeland, and spending time with animals has become especially meaningful to me, as I deeply miss the connection I had with them before. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. 😀

About: I’ve cared for dogs since our family fostered a neighbor’s pup when I was 8 years old. Since then, in my multi-dog household, I have successfully cared for, trained, and housebroken puppies as well as cared for senior dogs. I have extensive experience training and handling reactive and anxious dogs (medium & large breeds), including handling multiple at the same time. I’ve been relied on my neighbors, family, and friends to care for their beloved dogs and cats for many years. I am a warm and compassionate experienced pet owner who is used to caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I currently do not work a 9-5 job, so I have lots of flexibility and time to spend caring for pets. I am available for dog walking as well as house sitting and pop-in playtime. ** Though I cannot board a pet in my own home, I am more than happy to spend lots of time with your pet to keep them company as well as playtime with my two dogs to keep them company if desired. I can provide a regular walk schedule on weekdays and weekends. I am available to house sit to keep your dog’s schedule and environment as consistent as needed. **

“We are so grateful for the excellent care our cat received while we were away for two weeks over Christmas and New Year’s. Communication was clear and consistent, updates were reassuring, and it was obvious our cat was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. Traveling over the holidays can be stressful, and it was such a relief knowing everything at home was handled with care and reliability. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend.”

About: I have had cats, dogs, and fish for the past 15 years. I have boarded, walked, and sat many animals including the ones listed above. I have also done feedings and administering medications. I always like to get detailed notes and a walk through of the care you need so the pets are well taken care of throughout my time with them. I am currently open to any times and days. I am in school and am doing it completely online and asynchronous. I can work with you separately to figure out the best schedule. I am always wanting a walk through and detailed sheet of paper describing schedules and everything I need to know. I will also send frequent updates including pictures. I have administered medications before and ask to be shown how to administer so they don’t miss a day.

About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong animal lover, and I’ve had pets all my life — so I know how much pets mean to their families. My girlfriend introduced me to Rover, and since then, I’ve been all in. I currently walk up to 10 dogs a day and board around 2 dogs each month, and I truly enjoy every minute of it. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs long walks or a shy cat who just wants a quiet companion, I treat every pet like my own. I know how important trust is when it comes to pet care, and I always go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I’d love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! Pet care is a major part of my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of control over my time. This flexibility allows me to dedicate consistent blocks of time each day to walking dogs, doing drop-in visits, and boarding pets comfortably in my home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust always come first. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment. I make sure there are no hazards within reach, keep any unfamiliar pets separated as needed, and provide plenty of space for relaxation, play, and personal time. I follow any routines or rules you provide so your pet feels comfortable and secure—just like they would at home. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep your pet’s schedule consistent, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. I’m always attentive to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort to make sure they’re safe and happy throughout the visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or quiet companionship, I’m committed to providing a trustworthy, low-stress experience for both you and your pet.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with two dogs of my own and have since had the opportunity to pet sit for many different kinds of animals. One of my most memorable experiences was caring for 10 newborn puppies by myself, which taught me just how much patience, attentiveness, and responsibility goes into caring for animals. Whether I’m looking after a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a cat who prefers to do their own thing, I always take the time to understand each animal’s individual needs and personality. For me, the most important part of pet sitting is building trust, both with your pet and with you. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing that your animal is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I’m happy to accommodate your preferred feeding, walking, playtime, and care schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, learn your pet’s routine and personality, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and safe.

Donna and Stephen were absolutely fantastic with Jax! From the moment I left him, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring and attentive hands. They treated Jax like he was one of their own, and I especially loved receiving pictures throughout his stay. Seeing how happy and comfortable he was gave me such peace of mind and let me know he was being well cared for and having a great time. It means so much to find people you can truly trust with your fur baby, and Donna and Stephen are definitely those people. Jax gives them five paws! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely be using them again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Jax! ❤️

The best pet sitter. Rosy literally just saved my cat’s life, when she noticed he was not his usual self, took him to the vet, where they identified he had a urinary blockage and likely just hours to live. How lucky for us that Rosy was caring for our animals and so observant. Thank you, forever. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Morton Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Morton Grove is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $39 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 11,908 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Morton Grove. 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.

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 Morton Grove 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.

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.

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.

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 Morton Grove with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Morton Grove. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
