About: Hello! I'm Grace, but you can also call me Mairin! For as long as I can remember, I have had animals in my life to care for and love. Cats, dogs, the occasional fish and reptile…I have worked hard to take care of the animals in my life, and sometimes the animals in other people’s lives. I ensure the happiness, well-being, and most importantly, safety and health of all the animals I’ve cared for. I have my own cats and a dog at home, and am their primary caretaker. I clean up after them, make sure their bowls are clean, make sure they’re fed on time and have fresh water, and take the dog out for walks whenever possible. I am also experienced in raising and training puppies, as I was responsible for caring for the puppies from the day they were born until they could be adopted. I trained them by helping them get used to harnesses and leashes, weening them onto wet and dry food, and socializing them with the cats! I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and ensure their happiness and wellbeing! I do have a job alongside pet-sitting, but I will do my best to keep my calendar updated so you know when I am available! I have a relatively flexible schedule. I treat my client’s pets as I do my own. I make sure they’re fed and have a clean dish full of fresh water, and make sure to meet any of their needs properly and efficiently. I take care to follow the pet’s schedule, if any, and make sure they receive proper enrichment and time outside, whether it be playing in the yard or going on walks. I also take care to be diligent and check for any illness and odd behavior. Communication is incredibly important to me, and I will frequently send updates as well as photos to any pet parents!
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!
“This is our second time booking with Isabel. She was super accommodating and helpful, despite our last-minute request. We really appreciated the thoughtful and thorough Rover Cards after each visit and felt confident that our cat was getting high quality play time while we were away, plus we came home to a freshly cleaned litter box. Thanks, Isabel! 10/10 would recommend to any cat parents out there in need of a sitter”
“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!”
“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!”
“I work a job with call, so sometimes I don’t get to go home or I work long hours. Beth is always available to take care of my fuzzy babies at short notice. She does an excellent job and is VERY much appreciated by myself and my pups!”
“Brittney is wonderful!! Takes great care of all three of my kitties😻 Would absolutely recommend her if you need someone to take excellent care of your fur babies.”
“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!”
“Rachel did a great job with my two cats. She took care of their meals, medicine, and cleaned up when they threw up or left the litter area messy. She was very communicative and always let me know if she noticed anything with them that I might need to know about. I would definitely book Rachel again!”
About: I am the go to girl for ALL of my friends cats and dogs when they need help. I have a 2 year old dachshund who loves friends and lots of flexibility in my schedule to help out as I work remote. Also have 2 large dog parks at my apartment complex on ground level! Work fully remote, available anytime! I have weekends available as well just let me know what you and your let need and I’m there! My dog is crate trained as well to provide space for your dog as well if need be. I have 2 dog parks down stairs with a quiet neighborhood to go for walks in and plenty of room for your pet to play!
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.
“We are so excited to be establishing a relationship with Gina for our pittie Hildy. Hildy is nervous and fearful but Gina has been an amazing, calming presence. We are so excited to continue to build our relationship and have nothing but positive things to say about Gina. She's just lovely.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I had dogs all my life. I have worked in 2 different animal shelters as a volunteer, I have never met a dog that didn't like me right away. I will treat your best friend like my own when I get the pleasure to meet them, I can't wait to meet every one of them and you the pet owner. Mostly good people are the ones with pets that take such good care like this. I have 2 dogs myself and I will never be without at least 2. I have usually had 3. I will give your dogs the love and care that you would when you entrust them to me, I promise you that.i have the experience of taking care of 3 and 4 dogs on a daily basis for years. I have seen many different situations that can happen to dogs and know how to avoid problems and I can tell when something is wrong. I won’t hesitate to let you know if I notice anything. It’s always better to be safe when it comes to our family. I am retired now and have plenty of time to choose what I do. I enjoy nothing more than my dogs and I love working and being around other dogs. So, this is a perfect thing for me to do. it helps other good people out and I get to also take care of the best things on earth DOGS, I have almost an open schedule now so until it fills up hopefully with some sitting appointments, I'm all yours. I have an invisible fence for my yard, and it is fantastic. so, my dogs get to run freely a lot. It is actually hard to get them to go for a walk because they won't cross that boundary. clean water is something I try to keep my eye on, and depending on your feeding schedule that will be something that will determine the time I will have to be at your home. also, when your dog need to me walked and hopefully played with. If you have a fenced in yard or a certain play area that with, be great. I assume an hour or so at each house min. is probably enough time but if I find it need to be longer that's what I will do. and let you know. if you want to limit it to an hour that's up to you.
“Cat went over and beyond expectations. She took the time to get to know our cat and brought treats and toys to make the visits more fun. She was awesome, always keeping us informed on everything going on with our pet and home!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my friends and families dogs since I was a kid! My dream job used to be a dog groomer. I’ve always loved having dogs. They’re truly a best friend. Much better to cuddle and watch TV with than humans, haha. I love walking around the neighborhood with them and just genuinely seeing them happy and loving life! I currently work full-time, but I am hybrid and I set my own schedule most days. I also work very close to my home, so I am free to come back and walk the dogs during any breaks I take, and then return back to work on the days where I am not working from home. I have a dog who is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs. My yard is not fenced, but I am active and can take dogs out several times a day. I have a very dog friendly neighborhood (I haven’t met a single neighbor who doesn’t have a dog!) so walking around my home is always fun for dogs, since we so often run into other dog-walkers.
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. Whatever you need from me I’m the person you can rely on.

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

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.

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.

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.
