About: I feel strongly about the human animal-bond and I believe your pets deserve the best care possible! My experience goes back to childhood since I've had cats and dogs my whole life. I've watched neighbors' and friends' pets while they were out of town and even watched a friend's horses while she was on vacation. I walked dogs at Anderson Animal Shelter (now Anderson Humane) as a kid. I worked for a pet sitting company for a little over a year in 2020. That year I also began school to become a certified veterinary technician. After two years taking classes full time and completing two externships I became a CVT. My schooling did include kennels- aka walking, cleaning up after and caring for the rescued dogs and cats we learned on (they were adopted out at the end of each semester). I also have helped with pets who were boarding at veterinary offices. I can do medical treatments on your fur baby if necessary. I am open to watching exotic pets. I have a huge admiration for spicy cats. I am your person for house sitting and drop in visits. I will be using Rover for part time work but I do have flexible availability! I have stepped away from full time work all together for the foreseeable future. I am a morning person and I would love to spend some time outside with your pup whatever the weather may be. I enjoy walking outside even in zero degree weather! I am happy to accommodate any routine you need for your fur babies. Greeting your pet is important, especially if I am new to them. I will give them food and water and clean dishes as advised by you. I will take them for a walk or outside to play and go potty depending on what they are up for. If you need pills or treatments or any kind to be administered I can absolutely do that. I will treat your pet, your home and belongings with the utmost respect and responsibility.

“Agnes was very thorough and helpful with Hot Chocolate. She was patient with our crabby cat while we were away and gave me updates for every visit. Thank you Agnes!”
“Alexandra was amazing with both Panini and Lady! She was very comfortable with dogs, especially bulldogs, and clearly understood the extra attention and patience a puppy needs. I felt completely comfortable having her care for them and really appreciated how well she handled both of their different personalities and needs. I would absolutely recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”

“We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!”
About: Hi! We’re a husband-and-wife team who are passionate about providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for every dog we care for. As lifelong dog lovers, we have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and we understand that every pup deserves personalized attention and plenty of affection. Our own furry daughter is a huge part of our family, and we love spending our days taking walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in our yard, and making sure she lives her happiest life. We’d love to provide that same level of care and love to your dog while you’re away. One of the biggest advantages we offer is that we both work from home full-time. That means your pup will rarely be left alone and will receive constant supervision, companionship, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day. We know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, so we’ll treat them like one of our own. We’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing in the yard, or simply relaxing on the couch, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. We work from home permanently therefore have plenty of time to tend to your dogs needs. In addition, we have a fur baby of our own and are accustomed to taking on daily routine focused on pet care. Our home is designed to help dogs feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed during their stay. We have a spacious yard for supervised play and exercise, as well as extra bedrooms where dogs can enjoy a quiet space if they need to unwind. We also have crates in a variety of sizes available for dogs who are crate-trained or whose owners prefer they sleep or rest in one. We understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level. That’s why we tailor our care to each individual pup—whether they love to play all day, enjoy long walks, prefer lots of cuddles, or need a calm, low-stress environment. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable with us as they do at home. Between the two of us, we have extensive experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, ages, and energy levels. From playful puppies to gentle seniors, as well as shy or anxious dogs, we take the time to earn their trust and provide the patient, loving care they deserve.
About: I have been an avid animal lover as a child and have owned cats, bunnies and currently a 100 pound bernedoodle! I love taking care of animals and have experience administering medicine. I have previous dog walking experience aside from my own giant puppy. I currently live in Westmont IL with a lot of space and a quiet safe neighborhood for long walks. I work remote for 3 days out of the week so I am flexible with drop in visits and walks. My dog would love a playmate during the day as well, so if you need me to babysit at my place there's plenty of room. I have a friendly bernedoodle who loved to play and has moved with us 3 times to different states! He gets daily long walks, plays with us, and gets treats. We like to take him to explore different parks and trails in the area.
“This is our second time having Adriana take care of Caius and she has been so great. She always sends us pictures of him which makes us feel comfortable while we’re away. Caius is usually pretty reactive and needs some time warming up to people and it seems as though he really has with her. It speaks to how great she is with animals. Thanks Adriana! ❤️”
“Olivia was great with our dog. I could tell he was well take care of while we were away. We received a notification at the beginning and end of each visit and a picture of the fun he had. Will definitely be using Olivia again!”
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.
About: Hi i’m Trinity! I’m 26 currently working as a full time Executive Assistant running a professional haunted house. 🦇 I’m a lover of all things Halloween and when i’m not occupied with work, I love spending time with pets! I don’t have any of my own at the moment, but it’s something I’m trying to save up for! I have become a local favorite for neighbors and friends! I have years of experience with high energy, elderly, and special needs dogs. I’ve had family pets my whole life so I have plenty of experience with basic care as well. Aside from the usual errand runs, I am normally home during the day - so the pets will have minimal alone time! As long as you approve, your pup can be attached to my hip 🖤 My booking calendar is updated frequently, so the current availability should be accurate. Let’s connect and see if it works! To ensure the safety of the pets, I only host one family at a time. At my home, pups are more than welcome to lounge on the furniture. I provide clean bowls, toys, along with sniff pads and frozen treats! We have a back patio that is not fenced in, but there is a lead we can attach to the collar so they can stay within sight. Walks through the neighborhood are always an option as well! ✨Can provide multiple references ✨

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

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.

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.
