“Becca did a great job watching my cat—super responsive and easy to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs since I was little and have loved every second. I was always helping out my family’s and neighbor’s pets - and now I finally got my own puppy in August of 2025. Trained him all on my own and he is the sweetest boy! I work at a kindergarten with special education during the school year. Once June hits, I will be officially out for summer break and plan on focusing all my attention on Rover. I will have all the time on my hands to drop in and take care of your pets! My 10 month old dachshund is very well taken care of. He is my pride and joy - always getting all the cuddles and exercise he needs. I believe that all pets require the same love and attention that humans do and I treat them with that idea in mind.
About: Hello! I've been an animal lover my whole life, growing up around lots of different pets like dogs (big and small), cats (of all kinds), parakeets, hamsters and fish. I currently have a 3-year-old Papillon, and I previously cared for a dog who lived to be 14 years old, so I'm familiar with the needs of both energetic young dogs and senior dogs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I'll treat every dog and cat with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I recently finished college and will be home for the summer, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pet. I’m able to provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I provide care in your pet’s familiar environment, where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply spending time together. Since I have a flexible schedule this summer, I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for.

I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.
About: For the last 22 years I have rescued dogs and felt every bit of the love from my fur babies that I have given. My life is my kids and my pups! Let me help take care of yours. I currently work part time and all of my human kids are off at college so I have plenty of time to help take care of all your fur babies! I have lots of free time and lots of love and energy to bring in to your dogs life. I would love to be a part of anything that makes a dogs day a little brighter!
About: I’ve been watching dogs and cats since I was about 12. I have had cats in my home since I was born and currently care for 3 cats. I’m a college student home for the summer so I have a pretty clear schedule! I can watch pets on weekdays, nights, or weekends! I have a yard, and 3 extremely well behaved cats at home to keep your pet company. I live with my sisters who are also huge pet lovers!
“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”
“We had a really great experience with our Rover sitter! They took great care of our dog Opal and our cat Azula while we were away. Communication was easy, we appreciated the updates, and it was nice knowing both pets were in good hands. Opal and Azula seemed happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely book with them again!”
“Noemi was quick to respond and act upon a very last minute request to feed/let out my 3 dogs. She was very prompt and thorough in her care. Will def use her again when the need arises.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mundelein
Ryan was reliable, communicative, and incredibly flexible with our changing schedule while my niece was visiting. Most importantly, Ryan was gentle and patient with Lilly. He took the time to understand her needs as a sensitive English Bulldog, especially when it came to the summer heat and her food sensitivities. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in caring and capable hands whenever we were away. We truly appreciated his kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. Highly recommend!
Christina was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was kind, reliable, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. We loved receiving updates and could tell they were happy and well cared for. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing Rover sitter!☺️
Mallory took such great care of my dog Bibi! She was very attentive, caring, and responsible throughout the visit. Bibi was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the love she showed to my dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Shannon did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucy!! It was our first time using Rover and I’m very glad it went so well. Shannon took her for lots of long walks and kept me updated on Lucy’s eating and bathroom habits. Would definitely recommend her and book again!
Valerie is fantastic! From the moment she came to meet Charley, we knew we’d found the right person. She’s kind, reliable, and great with Charley—who warmed up to her right away. We’re so happy we connected with her and will definitely be requesting her services again in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mundelein 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 Mundelein 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 Mundelein with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
