About: I’ve cared for animals since I was young, starting with my own family’s dogs and eventually helping care for pets around my neighborhood.

During my time there, I held animal care positions at three different zoological institutions, including Brookfield Zoo.

Every animal is special and some need more attentions than others. I look forward to getting to learn about your fur-baby’s quarks!

“Ann was amazing with Dwight this Summer. He's a very skiddish anxious boy but she did great with him and he looked forward to her visits. She wasn't intimidated because she also has a border collie mix so I thought this was the perfect match! She also gave my kitties some attention during her visits and even my most shy kitty warmed up to her! She watched my pets during a very stressful time in my life and didn't judge me for the disaster my house was in during the moving process and was always very supportive. She's genuinely a very nice and thoughtful person. I'm so lucky we found her!”
About: Hi, I’m My’Anna! I’m a Veterinary Technician with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats in both clinical and home settings. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities and needs, from energetic pups who want to play to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need medications, extra monitoring, or special routines, and my veterinary background has taught me how to notice the little things that can make a big difference in a pet’s health and comfort. But great pet care isn’t just about knowing what to do, it’s about getting to know the individual pet! I take the time to learn their personality, routines, favorite activities, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog wants a long walk, your cat prefers to watch me from across the room, or your senior pet simply wants some quiet company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for you to feel confident leaving them in my care and for your pet to be excited to see me again. As a part-time veterinary technician, I have flexibility in my schedule to give my Rover pets plenty of attention and one on one care. I love filling my free time with walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets comfortable in their normal routines. When caring for your pet in your home, I follow their usual routine, respect your space, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. As a vet tech, I’m also trained to pay close attention to changes in behavior and well being. I’ll keep your pet’s safety a priority while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I love dogs and love taking care of them. I have experience sitting up to three larger dogs at a time for up to a week. I take them on fun walks, make sure they are well-fed and given plenty of water, and I love playing with them and giving them lots of cuddles and love. But I am also firm when I need to be and keep them in line. I also have a kitten whom I absolutely adore, he is 7 months old and I’ve had him since July 2021. He is neutered, and he is full of energy so I’m sure he would love a playmate. Leaving your cat with me you can be assured that he or she will be well-fed, given lots of love and plenty of toys and room to play. I currently work part-time from home and because I create my own schedule, I have plenty of flexibility. My preferred hours are Monday-Thursday, 9:00 am-5:00 pm for walks and playdates. For boarding I can do any day of the week so long as you don’t mind your pet being left home alone for short periods of time. I give pets lots of attention and make sure they have everything they need. If at any point my kitten and your pet are not playing well, I can put my kitten away in his crate or in another room. I will provide toys, and of course you are welcome to bring your baby’s favorite toys. I love playing with cats and dogs so you can be sure they will have a great time. I live in a pet-friendly condo in a quiet, safe neighborhood, and if needed I can take your dog to my dad’s house 5 minutes away where there is a fenced backyard with plenty of room to run around.

About: As a devoted dog owner who raised my pup from birth, I understand the love and attention every animal deserves. I know the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet in the care of a stranger, as I experienced my first time using Rover, but I can guarantee my Rover services offer a nurturing and safe environment where your furry friend will receive personalized care, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I have experience with potty training and obedience training as well. I am a part time college student, so I have plenty of free time in my schedule. In my free time, I love taking my dog to the dog park and long strolls around campus. I am available for house sitting, drop ins, walks, and more. I have a very sweet dog who would love to keep yours company if wanted! I also have a spacious house with plenty of room for play. If going to a client’s house, I would love to help feed, walk, and play with your pet. I can also crate your pet if needed. I have plenty experience with accidents and potty training so there’s no need to stress if your pet is not potty trained.

Claudia has been great with Ramsey, our senior Tamaskan with hind leg arthritis. She was patient and gentle, and has done a wonderful job getting him to warm up to her. She's a great communicator, very thorough, and prompt! I highly recommend Claudia's services!
Macey was amazing! She took very good care of my new puppy goose and followed all instructions! She send great overviews and photos of their time together that made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. Before the drop ins even took place, Macey made sure to make time to meet goose and us which I greatly appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Oakbrook Terrace is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 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 12,283 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oakbrook Terrace. 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.
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 Oakbrook Terrace 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.
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.
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.
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 Oakbrook Terrace with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
