“Beth was amazing! She communicated clearly and took great care of our critters. We were able to be away from home and rest easing knowing our kitty was great hands. Will for sure use again!”
About: Hi! I’m Amanda, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two dogs of my own. I know how important your pets are to your family, and I will always treat your furry friends with the same love, care, and attention that I give my own. I currently offer dog walking and pet care services, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and any specific instructions you provide. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of availability, especially during mornings and early afternoons. I am able to dedicate quality time to your pets and will always make their safety and wellbeing a priority. I also understand how reassuring it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I am happy to keep you updated with messages and photos throughout our time together. As a lifelong dog lover, I know your pet is family. I’ll treat your dog like my own, provide safe and engaging walks, and keep you updated every step of the way so you can have peace of mind.
“I came home to a healthy, happy cat I recently adopted as a stray. Annie's communication, photos and care were superlative! Count me as a repeat customer of both Annie as a caregiver and Rover.com as an online service. As an added bonus, Lucky is no longer eager to go outside.”
“Danielle was fantastic and eased my worries from the start. I had to last minute book her due to a cancellation, and she reassured me every time I had any question or concern. She takes lots of pictures and is always willing to give love to my pups. I was cautious with a new person, but I’m glad I gave Danielle the chance because she is AWESOME!”
“Great sitters! They did exactly what was asked and were great about sending pictures and communicating. Friendly and down to earth. So easy to work with! We’ll be using them again.”
About: I have been a dog mom (owner) for 12 years. I have also fostered 6+ dogs over the years. While I am comfortable watching all dogs, I have additional experience with senior dogs, special-need dogs, dogs on medications, and doggie anxiety. I also dog sat for many dogs over the years as well. I'm currently only working freelance so I have tons of time to take your dog on walks and give them extra attention. I wake up around 6-7 and make sure they get as long of a walk as they need, plus play time, and lots of love and attention. I will treat your dog like my own. I will respect, however wherever your dog sleeps. In their bed, with me, in a crate. My goal is to keep your dog on the schedule and routine they are used so they feel safe, happy, and loved in your home while you are away.
“Thank you so much!!! The photos were so good and cute! First time leaving him alone in the house and I felt so much better knowing he was having a great time - even in this heat wave! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs a pet sitter”
About: I am a life long dog lover, who will care for your loved ones as if they were my own. I have a way with dogs to make them feel at ease and happy. Currently my schedule is wide open. Feel free to reach out to me so we can setup a meet and greet! I am looking forward to getting to know you! My initial meeting will be to earn the trust of you and your dog. Nothing is more important. I want to let you know that your dogs safety and your comfort is my highest priority!
“Thank you Courtney for taking such good care of our kitty. Communication with you was great and we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a cat sitter. We appreciate the pics sent each day. It was very reassuring, particularly since this was the first time we used Rover. Will definitely contact you in the future if the need arises.”
“Lauren was wonderful! I was in a bind and needed someone last minute and she came through. My dog is very wary of strangers but warmed up to Lauren quickly. I am already booking her again and would definitely recommend.”
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since i was 14, having pets of my own right now it being a golden retriever. I've been relied on to walk/bathe/ groom my friends and family's pets.

I will take your pet out whenever needed, let them get used to me first before any drastic things happen like a bath. Am able to help train and get your dog in a routine.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in New Lenox on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 .

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 New Lenox 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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
