“Really great service!! She’s always so kind and responds quickly. She takes time to know your pets and enjoys her time with them. We use her often and are always so grateful for her care.”
“Robin was so great. The reviews she left regarding her visits were very informative and detailed. She spent her full time with Tucker and seemed to genuinely enjoy him. Will definitely use Robin again!”
“First time using a sitter for our baby astro and Caitlin was fantastic! She provided top-notch care, ensuring our furry baby felt loved and comfortable. Excellent communication, punctuality, and a genuine passion for animals made the experience worry-free. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was amazing! She agreed to drop in visits for our two dogs, THE DAY OF, when another sitter fell through. She was attentive, provided details of every visit, and even brought in our mail unsolicited. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Amy really loves on our dogs like they are her own. If they’re happy when we’re gone we know that we can relax while on a vacation. She’s close by and that is a huge plus as well!”
“Penny was amazing with Bear! Her communication was great, and she was able to help me on short notice. Looking forward to having Penny helping us out in the future. Thanks Penny!”
About: Over 20 years of my life I have had and cared for dogs among other animals. My husband and I love dogs and will give everyone lots of love and attention. We will get at least 1 walk per day. We will follow all instructions you provide along with sending you photo updates on how they are doing. I have had experience administering medication orally and injection. And, if they don't have skin allergies, I'll even give them a bath before they go home if they got messy while playing :). I am currently a stay at home mom for our children (10yo, 5yo, 4yo, 2yo and infant). So please allow our family to give you some piece of mind while you take a vacation at Christmas and other times during the year. Cheers! I am a stay-at-home mom of 5 young children who loves dogs. We are at home a lot of the time and can provide each animal with love and attention. We have a fully fenced in yard. In the summer if it gets super hot the majority of the playtime is indoors. We also love playing outside with the dogs weather permitting. We separate dogs for feeding and if we see any issues. They all get crated if we leave unless they are used to being out.
“Sophia was a great sitter, followed guidance and always sent the cutest pictures of our furbabies! She was reliable and gave our two cats and 70 pound dog lots of attention and treats while we were gone.”
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”
About: I work from home full time and have two cats and dog. I grew up in a home with pets and would love the opportunity to meet some new fur babies. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have set my parameters for 15 minute distance from me so that I would be able to make those drop in visits with no problem. I don’t plan to house any pets, but if that should occur I do have a fenced yard and am familiar with crating. I would also only ever be able to take on one at a time because we do have three pets full time.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was a very young girl. I now have my own family and I still love animals of all kinds and have a special love for dogs. I have had dogs from puppies up until their senior years and have had experience caring for the needs of all ages. We love to travel also and understand wanting to know your fur babies are well taken care of and loved while you are away! I am a Stay-At-Home-Mom and my husband works from home so your pets will often have someone with them to keep them company and love on them. We have a fenced in backyard with grass, trees, and access from their own dog door! Plenty of room to run, play, or enjoy the sunshine in. We have space indoors for a crate and prefer to crate your dog(s) at bedtime.
“John and Becky were wonderful and who I will ask for every time. They came over and met our two dogs and we knew right away they were dog people! They visited and loved on our dogs while we were gone and sent pictures. We felt completely comfortable leaving our babies in their hands and I highly recommend them!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs for the past 8 years and absolutely love having them around. I currently have a 9-month-old Goldendoodle who is very friendly, playful, and loves having other dogs around. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family over the years and have experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I try to make them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I’m happy to follow their usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, hanging out around the house, or just lots of attention and belly rubs. For boarding, I’m comfortable hosting small to medium-sized dogs that get along well with other dogs, since my Goldendoodle will be home too. I’d also prefer to keep the number of dogs I watch at one time small so they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see what your pup is up to! I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day. I already spend a lot of my day taking care of my puppy, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out together, so having another pup join us fits naturally into my routine. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and time to relax. My home is puppy-proofed, with dog gates in place to keep everyone safe and prevent any escape attempts. I also have a good-sized, fully fenced yard where the dogs can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time
About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for them for most of my life, and today I have two dogs of my own who are very much part of our family. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there. I provide dependable, personal care and try to keep every pet as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, including senior dogs that may need a little more patience and attention. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and overnight care, including boarding in my home. I’m attentive to feeding instructions, medications, potty schedules, exercise needs and the little details that make each pet comfortable. I also believe communication matters. You shouldn’t have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is simple: take great care of your pets, respect their routine, and give you peace of mind while they’re with me. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide pet care throughout the week and on weekends. I’m available for morning, midday, afternoon and evening visits, as well as overnight care and boarding. I schedule visits in dedicated time windows so I can give each pet the attention they deserve without rushing from one appointment to the next. Safety and trust come first. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule and any special instructions before care begins. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes and feeding, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is accustomed to at home. For pets staying with us, we have two small dogs of our own and make introductions carefully. Pets can be separated for feeding, sleeping or downtime whenever needed. My goal is simple: care for your pets and your home the same way I would want someone to care for mine.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was very young. From hamsters, rabbits and cats to dogs, goats and horses. I promise to care for your fur babies as well as you do 🥰 I am currently partially retired so I have plenty of time, day or night, to help others care for their fur babies. What better way to spend my time 🤗 I currently have 2 aging cats who are “indoor” cats. They do go out back once in a while, but they never leave the patio. They love just sitting outside in the sunshine watching the birds. Our dog stays in the house at night and when we are away, but loves to play ball outside. Our fur babies are family.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Northlake is $20

Karianna was phenomenal! She watched mine and my families pets all weekend and sent pictures everyday. She was so communicative and did everything we asked. I couldn’t recommend her MORE! We have a very sensitive 100 lb XL Bully and she LOVED Kari. Great trustworthy person to watch your fur babies.
Robin was absolutely wonderful with our Kylo! We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care while we were away. She did such a great job sticking to his normal schedule and making sure he felt comfortable and loved while we were gone. She spent time cuddling with him, gave him plenty of belly pats, and even wiped his paws after every walk — those little extra touches really showed how much she cared. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kylo was in such good hands. He was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were away. We would absolutely have Robin watch Kylo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like their own! 🐾❤️
I’m hesitant to write this review because I don’t want Wendy to get too booked up for my kitties (even though she absolutely deserves to be!). 😂 Long story short, Wendy saved my kitty’s life! She has been taking care of my boys for almost a year now, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. One of my boys is diabetic, and Wendy has been absolutely amazing at administering his insulin every 12 hours and going above and beyond to make sure he’s well cared for. Unfortunately, during our most recent trip, my baby boy went into diabetic ketoacidosis due to circumstances completely beyond Wendy’s control. Thanks to her initiative, attentiveness, and genuine care for my boys, she noticed that something was wrong and immediately took him to the ER. After several days of taking him to the vet, communicating with us, keeping us updated, and showing so much patience and care, he is finally back home and better than ever. I will never take Wendy for granted! SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE! ❤️🐾 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you can rest assured that your fur babies are in the absolute best hands.
Samantha was wonderful! She was very communicative and took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
We had such a wonderful experience! Dillon took care of our dogs for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the start, communication was great and he kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable when we got back. He followed all of our instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!

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 .

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.
