About: I have years of experience, both in dog sitting and dog walking. I have worked with young and old dogs. I love going on walks and runs with dogs, and allow them to get their “zoomies” out before coming back home. I am reliable, and someone who you can relay on with your pets needs! I have my own car, and will work with your schedule. I have also volunteered for animal rescue centers and I'm great with both cats and dogs. I currently have a full time job, so weekdays, my availability is after 5:30 PM (depending on your location). On weekends, and every other Friday, I have full availability and can come as early as 6 AM. Whatever rules or boundaries are set by the home owner, I will follow them. You can provide those to me in writing, or let me know during our meeting, so that I can make sure I will follow them

“Super appreciate Brittany, she steps in to save the day when other sitters cancel last minute, she communicates every step of the way even when not hearing from me, sticks around to see that my avoidant cats get a little attention, and just really cares. Thanks again Brittany!”
“Margaret was absolutely amazing, she is nothing but a true animal lover. I felt uneasy opening my door to a stranger for a month but she did everything she could to assure me of her quality of character. We received regular updates from her along with photos and she even went out of her way to buy my cat new toys, treats and new wet food. My cat enjoyed her company because she clearly spent time and played with her. Margaret is trustworthy, great with animals and highly recommend, I can't say enough good things about her.”
“We are so grateful for Beth!!! Our pup absolutely loved her right away. She was able to accommodate our schedule last minute- which was so helpful. Sent lots of pics and gave our pup so much love.”
“Having moved around quite a bit, I’ve had several Rover sitters, and Victoria is by far the best! She’s kind, reliable, and always on time. My cat, who usually hides from new people, warmed up to her right away. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with Victoria!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for family friends for about 10 years, I adore animals and spend most of my free time with them as well I am currently unemployed and hoping to fill my time with pet-sitting. I love animals and I am caring for family/friends pets daily, just to be around them. I am searching for jobs, I am looking for remote positions, which will not affect my pet sitting availability. I don’t leave other than to go to the gym for an hour or two at a time, I prefer to stay home mostly and play with animals, read or watch movies
“Taylor is an EXCELLENT sitter! She took excellent care of my baby (cat) and took great attention to his wants and needs. She is an animal lover at heart and I will definitely be going to her in the future for when I’m out of town. FIVE STARS!!!”
“Zack was absolutely amazing with my two dogs while I was away for a few days. My German Shepherd mix isn’t the easiest dog to care for, but Zack went above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. He’s responsible, trustworthy, and always on time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Zack to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking him again in the future!”
“Michael is great! Very communicative, reliable and thorough. He makes sure I come back to a clean litter and even cleaned up cat vomit - sorry Micheal. I appreciate your care and know they are in good hands with you when I'm out of town.”

About: I've grown up around dogs and have over 20 years of experience caring for them. From tiny Chihuahuas to large, energetic Pit Bulls, I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I've learned how important it is to understand each dog's individual temperament, energy level, and daily routine. Whether your dog needs long walks, plenty of playtime, or a little extra patience and attention, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I treat every dog with the same love, respect, and care that I would give my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. Pet care has always been a natural part of my daily life. Having grown up around dogs and cared for my own cats for over seven years, I'm very accustomed to building my schedule around the needs of animals. I enjoy spending time with pets and am happy to accommodate their established routines, whether that means morning walks, scheduled feedings, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away, and I make it a priority to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet, especially in your own home, is a big decision, and it's a responsibility I take seriously. My priority is always making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I take the time to learn each animal's personality, routines, and individual needs, and I'm comfortable administering medications or following specialized care instructions. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm especially mindful of maintaining their familiar environment and respecting the owner's space. I'm attentive to changes in behavior, careful about following instructions, and always happy to provide photos and updates for your peace of mind. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I give my own.
About: New to Rover? Use code: MOBINS37442 for $20 off your first booking! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, from dogs and rabbits to other furry companions, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Growing up in a home full of pets taught me not only how to love them deeply but also how to understand their unique personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have experience taking care of dogs and rabbits for friends, family, and others in my community. Whether it was daily walks, feedings, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I always made sure each pet felt safe, comfortable, and loved. Today, I am a proud pet parent to a sweet Shih Tzu puppy who brings so much joy to my life. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet when you are away. That is why I make it my top priority to ensure every animal I care for feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it is walks, playtime, snuggles, or just keeping your pet company, I will treat them like family because they are. I am patient, attentive, and always happy to follow your pet’s routine to a tee. I cannot wait to meet you and your furry friend. I’m currently on summer break from law school and available anytime to care for your pets! Once school starts, I’ll be available Tuesday through Sunday with flexible hours to fit your pet’s needs. Just let me know what works best, and I’ll be happy to accommodate! I live in a gated home and prioritize safety, creating a calm and secure environment for your pet. I take the time to understand each animal’s needs and build trust at their pace. Whether it’s providing outdoor playtime or quiet rest, your pet will feel at home here. I’m dedicated to ensuring their comfort and well-being while you’re away!
“Nicky was so great with Kira, she went above and beyond on every visit, was extremely communicative. She sent pictures and videos everyday which by the happiness my pet had, I could tell she was in good hands. I’ll be sure to hire Nicky again and would recommend her to anyone who wants to know their baby is in good hands :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
Ariel is awesome. We are so lucky to have found her. She's been dropping in on our cat twice a day for the past month and has been on time every single day since the day she started. She has somehow gotten close to our cat who usually does not do well with new people and does a great job with everything we have her do. She's also one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We can't recommend her more highly.
Sandra is the absolute best with my dog Lucy! She is reliable, communicative, and always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away at work. It is evident that she genuinely cares about Lucy and takes the time to make sure she is happy and comfortable. Lucy is well cared for every time. I definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oak Park is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $43 per visit. On Rover, 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,796 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Park. 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 Oak Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
