“Dana is our go to sitter for our dog Felix. He is always excited to spend time with her and her daughter. Our pup has had ongoing medical issues that has made caring for him and leaving him alone tough for us. Dana has taken care of him like her own and I feel confident about leaving him in her care. She is also so accommodating and thoughtful while we have had some tough times dealing with Felix’s health this past year. We truly appreciate all the help she has provided us.”

“Glen took care of our chocolate lab while we were attending an out of town wedding for my daughter. I got daily updates from Glen and updates from neighbors who chatted with him on his walks with Copper. I felt happy and relieved to know Glen was caring for Copper. His reviews were great and when I met him I felt immediate ease and trust. My parents were at the house during the week and reported that Copper was calm and content! I thank him for making my dauther's wedding free of worry!!”

“Sydney (Grace) was incredible with our boy, Sonny! He can be a little reactive on leash sometimes, so we were a little nervous about who was caring for him. Grace went above and beyond to make us and Sonny feel comfortable. She sent updates and pictures every day. Sonny absolutely loves her! We would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve grown up always around animals. Whether they were mine, my grandparents, or a friends. I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and dogs emotionally and physically. I also volunteered to a few animal shelters to learn how to properly take care of both cats and dogs. I normally work mornings until around 2-4 pm. So I’m available the rest of the day to take care of your pets. I’m on a rotating shift so essentially I’m available everyday all day for anyone in need for pet care.

“Sarah is by far the best Rover we had yet. Her communication and professionalism is unlike anything we’ve seen. She took great care of our dog and our house as well. She needs to be highly prioritized when searching for a Rover!”

“Sandra took great care of our dog and even scheduled a play date with his girlfriend! She wa Avery helpful in the house too during her stay and helped cleaned up and left the place very clean.”

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including feeding, and playtime. I’ve dogsat multiple times for neighbors and friends and currently have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and loved. I also have experience babysitting children, so I’m patient, responsible, and great at following routines. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they’re comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently a part-time college student, with classes Monday and Wednesday mornings and Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Outside of those class times, I’m completely free and have plenty of flexibility throughout the week.

About: I work for a pet sitting company on the side, and in my own life, I own two cats, both rescued. I've taken care of bunnies, dogs, guinea pigs, geckos, fish, you name it! I really enjoy it, a lot! :) I am grateful if an owner is flexible as I am working a full time job in the loop. I am available most weekends and evenings and would be able to pop in during any of those times to check on your pet. I love pets of all kind, feel the experience between them and myself is a completely symbiotic one, and I think they are extremely rewarding. I cannot stress enough that if you're requesting drop in visits, there should be a couple bookings per day. Walking a dog one every 24 hours isn't an option. If that is the case, please have a neighbor or family member available for a second visit. If you intend to book for recurring visits, there will have to be a payment on file and will need to be rebooked each week (there have been issues in the past in which I wasn't paid). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I'm unable to offer in home petcare, due to having two cats myself. In others' homes, I am prompt, patient, and calm as I know it can be stressful when an owner is away. If you are out of town, there should be two drop ins for dogs per day, minimum, unless someone else will be checking in, on the dog(s)
“Kayla was amazing with Lily! She arrived on time, kept me updated with pictures, and made sure Lily was well cared for. She also left the house spotless, which I really appreciated. I felt completely at ease while I was away and will definitely use her again!”

About: I have been a pet owner since I was 7 years old. I am well versed in taking care of cats or dogs, any size. I have experience with short and long haired cats, and big and small dogs. I previously owned a 90 lb mutt (forever in my heart) and I take care of other dogs ranging from pit bulls to mini labradoodles. I have two cats that are the light of my life. I am constantly asked to watch my families pets and I do it with a smile on my face. I just love animals! I am currently working part time, so my schedule varies from week to week. I am more than willing to stop by during my break if needed, or before or after work and on my days off. I currently live in an apartment that only allows dogs under 25 lbs, but don’t worry, I am more than willing to come hang out with the big pups if needed.
“Imani did an amazing job keeping us updated and sending pictures to ease the anxiety of being away from our pup for the first time. Not only that, she also made herself available to us last minute with less than 24 hour notice which we appreciated.”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, starting when my mom and I rescued a Corgi when I was ten years old. In College, I adopted a German/ Sheppard Pit Bull Mix named ACE and he taught me a lot about taking care of animals on my own and growing as a human being. Not just walks, but attention, exercise, discipline, and sacrifice 24/7. I am a genuine, reliable person that has a lot of free time as a hockey broadcaster in my summers and I want to help you take care of your dog in a loving, reliable, and most importantly flexible way for you or your family. I live in Naperville, IL and willing to accommodate close to 10 miles:) I Only work weekends, so I can work through the week! Sundays are also a good day for me too usually, I am a sports broadcaster so I have weird hours haha but free a lot in the summer :) Big walking guy, with trails and local suburb paths for us. Water is always out, and toys and calm music if need be. Treats and fun always.
“We were nervous to leave our senior pups for the weekend but they were in great hands with Micaela. She communicated well and sent great updates. She had no problem giving them their meds & we came home to happy pups and a clean home.”

About: I am newer to the pet care game but I have had experience taking care of my friends pets while they are out of town. I will always make sure they have been fed, walked, and whatever special requests the owner has. I work full time so I’m mostly looking for stuff do on weekends or evenings right now. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets and helping give them the care they need! I will not be able to keep pets in my apartment, but I will try to be as consistent with your schedule as possible so your pets can feel more stable as long as you’re gone.
About: I’ve grown up taking care of numerous types of animals, primarily cats and dogs. My neighbors, family and friends rely on me for their pet care needs because I treat them as my own, giving them love and attention in addition to their regular feedings and potty needs. I am available on the weekends! On Friday’s, my availability would start after 5pm. I am available all day on Saturdays. Sunday’s I do take care of horses during the day from 9am-3pm; however, I am available before and after for walks and potty breaks. I make your pet’s needs my main priority. If they should make any messes while you are away, I always do my best to clean it up as thought it never happened, so you can come home to a happy fur baby and find your home just the way you left it.
About: We've owned 6 dogs. We've been with them from the beginning of their lives until the end. Some we loved from puppies, until seniors. Some have been rescues taken in at middle age. They were loved and are loved beyond measure. It's our passion and they have given as much love as they return. An unconditional love we've known most of our lives. They are our precious loves until the end of their days. We've trained puppies and nursed seniors and are rarely away from them. We love to take our pup for dog rides and, if an owner chooses, their pets are welcome to join us. We pour our hearts into love for animals. They've blessed us for so long. We do not work outside the home. I have an in-home business that requires very little time. Loving pets is our priority. Pets won't be left alone more than 1-2 hours a day. If required, a pet can be crated. We are experienced with that also. We have a 6 ft. high fenced in yard and will also provide daily walks, We can also house sit, watch homes when owners are away on vacation, take in mail, feed cats in owner's home while they're away, mow lawns, water plants while away and more. Just ask.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Naperville
Mei Lei was so caring towards our dog! She was prompt and timely in all her check ins, shared pictures and was flexible when our trip got delayed. She was respectful of our home and our dog really enjoyed spending time with her! Would definitely book Mei Lei again for dog sitting!

Summer was great! She came for a meet before our trip and was so comminicative while we were away. She sent lots of photos and videos and always let me know when she would be coming and going for visits with our cat who was so well looked after! We would definitely book with her again ☺️

Alex was very loved at our house with 3 cats. He was on time & very responsive. We got photo updates everyday. He left my house clean and washed the pet bowls so they were ready to use the night we got back. Very thankful for Alex. We will absolutely use him for our future trips!

Liz is great with Dottie. She communicates well through the day, brought in my amazon package, kept the house how she left it, and most importantly cared for Dottie. I got pictures of them lounging on the couch while Dottie got belly rubs, and she also took her for a walk. I would recommend Liz!

Jing is an excellent house sitter. She watched my two dogs while I was overseas for the Holiday break. She provided multiple photos throughout each day and even cleared snow on the back deck and steps so my senior dog could make it back easier to the door. She was very attentive to their needs and compassionate. I would definitely recommend Jing!! Thank you Jing 🤙

Highly recommend Marianne for your pet care and needs! She did such a wonderful job with my 2 large dogs and house sitting while I was gone for a night. She kept me updated throughout the day, sent pics, and took them for a few walks in the cold weather! Thank you, Marianne!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Naperville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Naperville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Naperville 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!

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 .
