“Shawna came to drop-in on my two cats for 7 days and was so reliable and easy to communicate. She took time to play with my scaredy cat. She kept up on all the food and litter and was an absolute pleasure to work with!”
“This was our first time with Sandy watching our two cats and she was fantastic! She fed our cats, changed the litter, and sent pictures during her visit. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Christina was generous with her time and expertise. She took excellent care of our cat, and also spent a little time with our dog, during our meet and greet session. She is communicative, responsible, and kind. We will definitely request her services again, and would recommend her to others. Five stars 🌟”
“Jo was absolutely wonderful looking after our kitties. She was extremely informative and very responsive. It’s always stressful leaving our kitties alone, but Jo made us feel at ease. Would absolutely rebook again!”

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for my two dogs, along with boarding and overnight sitting for friends' pets, I’m well-versed in handling dogs of all personalities. I’ve successfully managed unexpected situations, like safely retrieving a dog who got loose from its leash. I offer reliable, loving care for your dog, ensuring they get the attention and exercise they need while you’re away! I work full-time but have availability in the early mornings and afternoons Monday through Friday and possibly on weekends on a pre-scheduled basis. I’m flexible and happy to arrange walk times that fit your schedule, ensuring your dog gets the care and attention they deserve! I’m sorry I’m not able to take care of pets inside my own home due to sensitive household members. I am happy to take care of pets at your home and outside the home.
“Mallory and her partner were very attentive and communicative! Our cat enjoyed their visit and we knew he was in safe hands, with them. We would recommend them to others, and will definitely contact them again, for future services. Five stars! 🌟”
“Kati has been really awesome with our puppy and two cats and so accommodating with our busy schedules. With clear and open communication she gives us significant peace of mind that our animals are well cared for. Thanks for all your help Kati!”
“Barb is one of the sweetest people that I have met on Rover. She goes an extra mile to take care of your babies. My cat Shiva, who is very shy, easily warmed up to her because of her affectionate nature. I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing Rover services.”
About: I have lived with and played with dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a German Shepard, and later on, two cats. I started caring for dogs as an adult in 2023. I have experience pet sitting, dog walking, and playing with dogs and cats. I have a love for animals all shapes and sizes, and will make your pets' needs a top priority. I'm currently home from school. I work a part time job as a server on weekday nights. I also have a remote class Tuesday afternoons. I'm available any time outside of that range to care for your pets! I'm flexible when it comes to scheduling, and willing to accommodate to whatever is best for you. When caring for other people's pets, I make sure to send frequent check-ins, photos, and questions to the owner. If needed, I have my own car in case of any vet trips/emergencies.
“Maya was wonderful! Followed all instructions and really took time to care for our pup, would highly recommend her for dog sitting and will definitely have her come back to care for our dogs in the future!”
“Leah has been outstanding with our dog and drop in visits. She is very reliable, has been great with communicating and wonderful with attention and care to our furbaby. Our pet was sick one day in the house and Leah cleaned up after her and stayed twice as long at the house to make sure she was okay and the house was set. Talk about going above and beyond!! Highly recommend!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a passion for animals. As a student and full-time house manager, I can’t have a pet of my own right now, so I love spending time with your fur babies instead. In my work as a house manager, pets are part of the family. I’ve helped reinforce training techniques alongside professional trainers, focusing on building trust and confidence at each pet’s pace with plenty of patience, playtime, and treats. I’ve also learned valuable pet care and wellness tips from a close friend who is a vet tech. You can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of love while you’re away. I’m currently balancing work and school as I pursue my BSW and accelerated MSW, with the goal of becoming a child and adolescent therapist and advocate. My schedule varies throughout the week, but I have dedicated availability to provide dependable pet care. As an experienced house manager, I understand the importance of routines, communication, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Building trust with both you and your pet is my top priority. I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and the chance to get comfortable at their own pace. At home, I greet our cat Kiki like family and I’m convinced one day he’ll talk back! I bring that same energy to every pet I care for, including Bear, a playful pit bull I see regularly. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep you updated while you’re away.
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 have worked as a pet boarder and sitter on Rover for about a year. Having previously worked as a certified nursing assistant, I have experience as a caregiver, and one of my greatest passions is caring for pets. Dogs and cats are members of a family, and it is so important to care for them as you would any other family member. I have several years of experience boarding dogs for their owners when they have been on vacation, and have also cared for my own animals throughout my whole life. I also have experience as an animal transporter for West Hancock canine rescue, in which I would work with a team to take dogs and cats from high kill shelters to foster homes or rescues. I also have a wonderful dog I rescued, Ollie, who is friendly and likes to play with other dogs at times. I’m working part-time so have time to play with pups! And our family loves animals, so it’s a great fit for us to pet sit, and we like providing a home environment for owners who need to travel. I provide a calm, safe and fun environment for pets to play. Provide walks and let pets out regularly. I believe it’s important to attend to all feeding and medication needs as a high priority.

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.
Jordyn is the absolute best. She has been such an amazing help! She’s been extremely accommodating, allowing me to book long term as well as short notice. Her communication is amazing and she’s super sweet. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Mundelein on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,732 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mundelein. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mundelein. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
