About: Hi there! I’m Rajda. For the past 10 years, I’ve provided pet sitting services to friends and family so I’m used to handling feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable. Whether you need drop-ins, overnight stays, or someone to love your fur baby like their own, I’m here for it! I may be new to professional pet sitting, but I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and cows over the past few years! I’m happy to provide updates and photos, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I work remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play and watch your dogs or cats! I'm available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, or check-ins throughout the week as needed. I’m active and love being outdoors, so pets who enjoy walks and fresh air will get plenty of it! I provide a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and preferred activities. I prioritize clear communication, regular updates, and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands!

About: I am a medical student looking to earn some extra cash over summer break! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love them. Now, I have two dogs (a Shiba Inu and a Dachshund) and am a foster (currently taking care of a beagle from Ridglan farms). I’m looking forward to caring for your pup! I will be completely free for the month of June since I’ll be on summer break. My availability is very flexible including all 7 days of the week. I will treat your dog exactly as I would my own—with the respect, care, love, and attention they deserve. I am happy to check in on your pup at your house or have them stay at mine. I live in a quiet neighborhood, and my dogs are friendly.
“John was wonderful with our energetic boxer puppy! I highly recommend him. When we came home, she greeted us with excitement and love as usual. Then she ran around our house looking for her new friend, John!”
“Brittney did such a wonderful job with my two cats. She was responsive, friendly, professional and the kitties enjoyed having her visit them while I was out of town. I would not hesitate to book with her again and truly appreciate her time and care.”
About: I have an excellent understanding of dogs individual needs and great communication with owners. I take the time to learn about each dogs specific needs. I work early morning at Starbucks so my afternoons and early evenings are free to walk and play with your dogs! I am also very flexible with my time. I’m very trustworthy and responsible with other peoples animals and belongings. I will be able to go to your place and let your dog out and play with them or take them on walks.

“Rachel is amazing! She takes great care of my dog and takes great pictures. It is way below freezing out and she still went out with my dog. She writes great messages. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kristen has been amazing! She is kind and patient, and has been very reliable. She has been great at taking care of my little Yorkie, taking her for walks and playing with her to burn off some energy! Highly recommend!”
“Super friendly and timely with her visits! She brought over some cat treats to help my more shy/anxious cat trust her and left the rest of the treats behind for them to enjoy once I got home. She definitely loves animals! If you want a sitter that will fully care for your pets and do more than simply feed them, hire Jennevy.”
About: I have grown up with pets all my life, dogs and cats. They always have made my life brighter and better. I was responsible for walking my family's dogs since I was 10 years old. One of my goals in life has always been to be kind to animals, they feel all the emotions that we feel! I have protested against puppy mills, circuses and factory farms all my life. My fiancee and I, adopted two cats about four years ago and they instantly became members of our family. A little over a year ago we decided to adopt a nervous, seven year old dog from the shelter that happened to be heart-worm positive, she is now heart-worm free and loves life. Just this past July we welcomed another rescue dog into our home! At the end of the day all I want is to be surrounded by animals (: Please let me take care of yours!
“Beth is the best. She braved ice, cold and snow in early January 2023 cold spell. She made accommodations and pulled out tricks to get our senior dog to eat. Very caring and loving animal/dog person!”
“I’d give Ashton 10/5 stars if I could… this was my first time booking with her and I honestly could not be more impressed with her updates, communication, and problem solving. Thank you, thank you, Ashton!”
“This is the second time Janet has taken care of our two cats and I couldn't be happier! I completely trust that our cats will be well looked after, as well as happy and healthy when we return. She's the best, thank you Janet!”
“Britt was awesome and took great care of the dogs during her time there. It was a short notice for this booking and knowing the dogs were well taken care of while I was gone allowed me to have a great time away, all thanks to Britt. I was provided with updates during every visit and cannot say enough good things about her! Will 100% be booking with her for all my dog sitting needs”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and large dogs. I've been a pet owner myself for a little over a year now, but I've helped raise and entertain my siblings' dogs since they were puppies. Some of my proudest pet-parent moments include teaching my cat to sit and teaching my sister's German Shepherd puppy to roll over! I love spending time with animals and was even voted "Most Likely to Have 10 Dogs and Cats" in my sorority. I'm active, love being outdoors, and enjoy walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention. I'm also experienced with feeding, baths, and cleaning up after pets. Having lived with German Shepherds and Huskies, I definitely understand the shedding struggle! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family members! I am freshly post grad and taking the summer off to apply to medical schools, so I am able to do work remotely and my schedule is quite flexible. Hoping to spend time making new furry friends before jumping back into school :) When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your space with the same respect and attention I would want for my own. I have over 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying, which has taught me the importance of being dependable, communicative, and respectful of other people's homes. I was raised to leave things better than I found them, so you can expect me to keep your home tidy while providing attentive care for your pets. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, make sure they get plenty of love and attention, and keep you updated with photos and videos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm also happy to provide references upon request. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and a home that feels just as you left it.

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!
Adam was great with our 2 dogs. It was our first time using the app and he was great explaining things and alleviating concerns. He came over and learned their routine ahead of time which was great. Both dogs took to him right away. We will definitely use his services again
Kathryn was fantastic! She was able to come and do a drop-in visit with a few days notice and made us feel very comfortable with the plan to check in on Grover :) She followed all instructions and made sure Grover was a very happy pup :) 10 out of 10 would recommend Kathryn to everyone!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oakbrook Terrace stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 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.

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.

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.
