“Hanna walked my pup over the weekend for the first time! She was detail oriented and gave him so much love. I’ll be in contact for future walks because she’s trustworthy!”
“This was our first time using Ellie as our dog sitter and we now know why she is listed with star sitter status. Upon meeting her we knew she’d be a good fit and exactly what we were looking for. She was amazing and we truly appreciate the attention to detail, the communication, and care she provided to us and our baby while we were away. Each visit she sent us pictures and detailed notes about our pup’s potty breaks and feedings. We were at ease knowing our baby was safe and in good hands. We are looking forward to hiring Ellie again in the future! Thanks so much!!”
“Lisa took fantastic care of my boy Frank! She sent me photo and video updates as well as cleaned up any food/litter spillage Frank created. She responded very quickly and I will definitely book her again!”

“Kristina was wonderful at taking care of Saga. She was kind, caring and loving. She was great at following directions related to her medication and food. Also, she was prompted answering all my questions. I appreciate your help and support when I was away from home. Thank you.”
About: I've owned two dogs and cared for both from puppyhood through their senior years, so I'm familiar with the different needs that come with each stage of life. My second dog also managed to get into more than a few unexpected situations, which taught me to pay close attention, stay calm, and recognize when something doesn't seem right. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've dog sat for a number of others, each with their own personalities, routines, and preferences. I know every dog is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I treat every dog in my care like they're my own and always do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I currently work at Starbucks as a supervisor. I have semi-flexible hours and given enough notice I can make myself more available. (3 or so weeks) I always work try and work my schedule around yours. I typically work 8 hours a day and can’t usually step away to do a pop in during that time. I always strive to leave your home as you left it and your pups happy to see you arrive home again! If you need me to do house duties while I’m there I will do my best to assist with it.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Prospect
Michelle took exceptional care of my two pitbulls during my three‑week trip. From the very first drop‑in, her professionalism, calm energy, and genuine love for animals were obvious. My dogs absolutely adored her — their body language, their excitement, and their relaxed behavior told me everything I needed to know.She followed every instruction perfectly, sent thoughtful updates, and treated my pups as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such capable and caring hands gave me real peace of mind while I was away.I’m truly grateful for Michelle’s kindness and reliability. She is a gem, and I would trust her with my dogs anytime!
I honestly don’t know what I would do without Emily! I needed her last minute and she was available to care for my fur son. Thanks to her I can enjoy time with my friends knowing he is well taken care of and loved. He always looks forward to seeing her outside of his regular schedule. She’s absolutely the best.
Stacy has a phenomenal gift with animals! They love her instantly. She is punctual. Follows your care plan for your pet. Is trustworthy in your home and communicates well. Part of her communication, is an incredible ability to photograph animals, which she shares freely with you while you are away. I had never heard of Rover, Stacy was my first contact. I will be using her again and again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Mount Prospect is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 12,286 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Mount Prospect. 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 Mount Prospect 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.

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.
