“Danielle is amazing with Zyra. She is a great communicator and provides us with pictures and videos each visit. Danielle is always on time and we never worry if she will show up as scheduled. She also goes above and beyond by bringing in packages without being asked to do so. We are so happy that we found her and cannot recommend her enough.”

About: Hello there! After recently saying goodbye to our beloved senior Chihuahua, Moe, our home feels far too quiet without any furry friends. Starting this new chapter in pet care is very exciting, and I'm looking forward to giving your pet a safe and fun place to stay. I am the primary sitter but will be assisted by my girlfriend Sam who lives with me. Your dog will benefit from a multi-person home with plenty of attention and companionship. We have no pets or children so your furry friend will be the king or queen of the house! Whether your pet needs a quiet spot to lounge or energetic play sessions and walks, I am flexible to their personality. I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes for family & friends over the years. I pride myself in being attentive to your pet along with flexible and easy to work with. My goal is to make your pet feel completely at home while allowing you to relax during your travels! I am happy to provide as many updates you would like. My longtime girlfriend and I both work from home everyday! We have plenty of time to care for your pet. We can accommodate your pets schedule however needed. Our home is free roaming and pet friendly. Doggies are welcome in bed or on the couch if they desire. We also have a very large backyard and enjoy walks if that is your pets preference.

About: I have experience giving a dog insulin. Friends have relied on me to take care of their pets for several days at a time at their house and I’ve hosted dogs before. I’ve had experiences with dogs ever since I was 9 years old. I currently have a medium sized, mix breed dog. I’m currently working part time and am an Occupational Therapy student. I’m pretty flexible and am willing to make things work to get your fur friend taken care of! :) I am willing to get to know your area and see what is best for you and your fur baby. I can do meet and greets before taking care of your fur baby.

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets throughout my life, from parakeets, hamsters, frogs to dogs and cats. Friends and family trust me to care for their pets and homes while they’re away in both city and suburban communities. I’m responsible, dependable, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I currently work part time, so my schedule and availability are very flexible! Whether is squeezing in walks or check in’s, overnight care, or a mixture of both, I’m confident we can come up with a manageable care plan. I follow routine! I am accommodating. I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. I also respect their home and keep everything clean and secure.

“We had left our 2 cats under Kelly’s care when we went on our trip. One of them is under medication. Kelly was very regular in sending us the pics and the daily updates. It’s always nice to have the feeling that someone is there to take care of our pets with the same care we give. Kelly has been great. Even my timid cat went and mingled with her ... which is a big deal!!”

About: Reliable pet sitter & dog walker with a quick pace. I have taken care of dogs my whole life. From my first dog, Nina, to my current, Pickles, I have always been attached to a pup. I’m responsible and kind. In my teens and early twenties I was the neighborhood babysitter, the additional responsibility of a family dog was always welcome. Now that I’m older, I enjoy pet sitting for friends and family anytime they need me. I have a calm demeanor and I practice patience when any obstacle comes my way. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to devote to your pup. I’m an avid reader and all around chill person. I will gladly spend time engaging with your dog, whether that is playing with a toy, going for a walk, or chilling in the backyard & on the couch. While being your pet sitter I will treat your space with respect. I will closely follow the routines you have set for you pets to make your absence as easy as possible.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since i was 12. Ive had experience with puppies as well as older dogs that need more help with things daily. I will always play or run around with dogs if i’m not petting them. I am currently working a part time job which leaves Thursday’s to Sunday’s open! Starting mid September I will be going to a school to get my CDL license, this will take up Monday-Friday mid day, but weekends and afternoons I will be available! I’ve learned how to deal with crating dogs if needed, as well as worrying about a dog jumping on me or barking. If an older dog ever needs any assistance and requires me to pick them up for help with stairs or a porch I’m willing to do so.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and hold a very special place in my heart. I truly believe they are family, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and favorite things. Whether it’s a playful pup who wants to run and play, a cuddly cat looking for attention, or a shy pet who just needs someone patient and gentle, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I love giving pets the same care, attention, affection, and patience I would want for my own animals. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walks throughout the week. I’m happy to work with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. My availability may vary from week to week, so I encourage you to reach out and we can find a schedule that works well for everyone! I am able to drop in and check on your pets at anytime while you are away. And I will make sure to follow all instructions so they receive the best care.

Elizabeth is a top-notch cat sitter. She seems to have a way with animals, especially to make them feel comfortable and not afraid. My cats took to her immediately. She was conscientious and took very good care of our cats while we were away.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Lenox on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 6,028 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Lenox. 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.

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 New Lenox. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 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 .

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.
