“Amy took great care of my dog and cat. I can’t explain what a relief it was to find her. My mini dachshund is 16 years old and I don’t like to bring him into new environments or away from his best friend pelé the cat, so it worked out perfectly. I would highly recommend Amy!”
“Samantha was reliable sitter and took good care of my cats while I was away. Very easy to communicate with and took on additional house without issue. I will be asking her for her services again.”
“Sarah was great at stopping by and caring for my two cats. I almost think to good, my cats didn't seem to miss me when I got back. Sarah sent photos and spent time with them so they didn't feel neglected. Sarah also went above and beyond by shoveling snow! It snowed while I was away and Sarah cleared the walk way and some of the driveway. Plus she also let the cats have some outdoor time in the snow (they are indoor/outdoor cats so it was good that they got some outdoor time while I was away so things seemed normal).”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my family for 10 years and helped my grandmother care for her three litters of puppies. I’m patient, caring, and love being around dogs. Since I enjoy staying active, I’m also a great fit for pets that need plenty of walks and exercise. I currently work part time and in grad school, so I have flexibility to accommodate most schedules to give your dog the care and attention it needs. I can walk your dog, check in on them, or stay overnight in your home, making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I've taken care and been around dogs ever since I can remember, and it has been a huge part of my life! I feed, bathe, walk, and cared for my chocolate lab, Mocha, and she has taught me so much about what it means to care for loving and fun animals like herself! It has allowed me to take care of dogs around my neighborhood, doing things like drop in visits or walks while people have been on vacation! I cannot get enough of them, and I hope to make an impact on your loving animals like mine have impacted me! I am going to be home from college all summer, and am looking to do something along with my other part time jobs! I have very flexible availability, as both of my jobs require me to be there at later hours, and are very on and off, so I am free and willing to work with you on time! At your home or around your neighborhood, I am willing to work with you and what is there to offer in terms of walking area and/or yard space, and if needed, I have a very safe and pet-friendly neighborhood with miles of walking ground for your furry friends!
“Hannah was fantastic! She came three times a day, was always reliable and trustworthy, and showed up even in bad weather. We have a large dog (over 100 lbs) and felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. We’ve used Hannah multiple times and never worry when we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“I never had a pet sitter before so I was a little skeptical, but Lisa & Michael made it so comfortable & took excellent care of my daughter’s cat while on vacation! I highly recommend them & will definitely use them again when needed. They went above & beyond when it came to the care of our boy Sylis! Always sending wonderful photos & communicating with us.”
“Kelly is amazing! She was very quick to respond and was able to help us out when our usual sitter cancelled last minute. She took great care of our puppy and provided lots of updates!”
“I had never had a Pet Sitter before and I picked Madison to be the first one and I never could’ve chosen a better Pet Sitter! She took wonderful care of my cat family and they are my family. They’re my kids. I have four of them she showed up every day that I asked her too. She took care of the kids so wonderfully. I can’t even begin to tell you it was awesome! I would recommend Madison as a pet sitter to anybody and I can’t wait till my next trip because I will be requesting if she is free for her to watch my kittens again! She took wonderful care of them. She bought in a box for me that was delivered. I didn’t even know it was going to come and she had no problem with that she showed up on time stayed as long as she was supposed to played with the cat. Send me pictures of playing with the cats and cats are your family. That’s really really important! I have no children. They are my children and she watched my children perfectly thank you Madison!”
“Shelby was absolutely wonderful with our cats Peanut & Simba. She was communicative and sent us pictures regularly during her visits. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!!”
“As always, Staci was on time (even a little early) and took great care of Molly. She sat on the floor and played with her, made sure she also did all of her potty stuff, and gave her treats for being a good girl. Staci definitely loves what she does, and enjoys being of service! Will book again!”
“Elisa was absolutely amazing to work with! One of our dogs has pretty severe medical issues and I felt so safe with her in Elisa‘s loving care. She treated our fur babies as her own and I can’t wait to work with her again.”
About: “I’m passionate about spending time outdoors and love caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Walking dogs isn’t just about exercise, it’s about giving them attention, love, and a little adventure every day. Reliable, friendly, and attentive, I make sure every walk is safe, fun. I’m available to walk dogs on weekends because I have flexible free time and enjoy spending time outdoors. During the week, I’m available after 5:00 PM and can provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I’m committed to making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. While Walking: Ensuring the dog is safe on a leash at all times. Watching for hazards like traffic, other animals, or unsafe terrain. Giving plenty of exercise suited to the dog’s age, breed, and energy level. Offering water breaks during longer walks. Engaging with the dog—playing, talking, and giving attention. Monitoring behavior and mood to prevent stress or discomfort. Cleaning up after the dog responsibly. Adjusting pace or route based on the dog’s needs. While Watching (At Home or Elsewhere): Feeding the dog on schedule with the proper food and portions. Making sure fresh water is always available. Giving love, attention, and mental stimulation through toys or interaction. Keeping the dog safe and comfortable in their environment. Following any specific care instructions from the owner. Monitoring health or unusual behavior and alerting the owner if needed. Administering medication if required. Maintaining a clean living area (picking up messes, washing dishes, etc.).
About: I have taken care of a variety of dog breeds and pets for years. I have been entrusted by neighbors, family, and friends to care for their pets specific needs and wants. No request is too big or small to provide for the joy returned to me whether it's my own fur babies or yours. As an educator I have alot felixability. I am currently free during the weekdays and weekends to board and care for your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard with my two dogs, Skittles and Pop-tart to keep your fur-baby company. I can easily crate your pet if you prefer in
About: For 15 years, I have loved and cared for my animals. I was lucky enough to receive excellent training for my shepherd/husky and incorporate the methods during interactions with other animals as well as my new puppy. I completely understand needing reliable care when away. Patience, exercise and attention work wonders!! I'm currently working remote on Thursdays and am able to fit walks in throughout the day as well as during weekends. A varied schedule is fine!! Ensuring the animal's environment is the same when I leave as when I arrive is necessary to prevent injury or any accident. My yard is completely fenced in and equipped to play and run!

Samantha took care of my dog Frankie for a week while we were on vacation out of the country and I couldn’t be happier. She is so caring, so communicative and such a natural. I had complete confidence in her and knew as soon as she met my dog that there was a connection, thank you Samantha!

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 North Great River 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 North Great River 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 North Great River 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.
