“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”
“Ann is so great. Today Ann came to let our pup out and saw that she has gotten sick in her crate. She cleaned it up and cleaned up the pup and offered to come check on her again later. She’s the best!”
“Sara is the best! She is honest and reliable and is so patient and attentive with my pets. She always follows instructions perfectly and is an excellent communicator! I highly recommend!”
“Excellent pet sitter. I really appreciate that Ashley takes such care with them and by now really knows their personalities and quirks. She is very reliable and caring.”
“Sophie did a wonderful job caring for our two cats! She was thorough and asked questions when necessary. She tried to engage both of our cats each day, which we appreciated. She even gave us a gift to come home to, which was really sweet!”
“Your pets are your children and you can be very wary on who you trust around your children. Joan is the lady to trust. My one dog is very iffy of meeting new people but he warmed up to her in the matter of minutes. Today, he even allowed her to give him a belly rub, which is very rare. If my boys can trust Joan, then so can I.”
“Lexi is amazing! I was fortunate to find her in a last-minute situation, and she enthusiastically took on three drop-in visits with less than 24 hours’ notice. My timid rescue beagle warmed up to her immediately, she followed very specific instructions perfectly, and I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Absolutely amazing pet sitter! I had to book last minute and extend with an additional visit - she was super accommodating. Sent lots of updates, photos, and actually interacted with my cats. My babies loved her and will definitely re-book in the future. 🐾”
“Angela did a wonderful job watching our dog. She came 3 times a day for walks and feeding. We could tell that Leine was well taken care of. Definitely will use Angela and River again.”
“Maddie is very responsive, reliable, and accommodating with last-minute requests. She’s great with Ollie and always leaves thoughtful notes and pictures after her visits. We really appreciate her help!”
About: I’ve grown up and taken care of dogs ever since I was little. I would say I’m knowledgeable on dog training and have a lot of experience with all different types of dogs. I love to walk and pet pups so hopefully we can be good match!! I’m currently working part-time in the afternoon (3-6) so I have lots of free time to check in or walk your pet. I have owned Goldens my entire life so training a high-energy dog is something I’m experienced in. I’m all about creating a safe and enriching environment for dogs, so I’m open to adapting to your pets daily routine.
“Stephanie was amazing to Kiko and Mika! They warmed up to her fairly quick as they usually hide from strangers. Will definitely hit up Stephanie again when traveling! Thank you so much!”
“Sarah made our first Rover experience feel incredibly seamless and comfortable. We normally have family watch our fur babies, so trusting someone new was a little nerve-wracking for us, but she gave us so much peace of mind throughout the visit. We really appreciated all of the updates, pictures, and guidance she gave us. She followed instructions thoughtfully, communicated clearly, and it genuinely seemed like both of our girls were comfortable with her. She was patient, attentive, and very respectful of our home. We’d absolutely book with Sarah again and are so grateful for the care she gave our girls.”
“Erin does an amazing job; our greyhound Happy just loves her! She is professional and communicates very well. She's thoughtful and respectful of our home, making sure feet are clean and things are tidy. Erin is quick to respond to requests for help and flexible when my schedule changes. I can confidently recommend Erin.”
“Jessica was wonderful! Super great with communication, very sweet, and took really great care of our kitties and especially at late notice! We’re really glad to work with her and will be using her again soon! Thank you Jessica!! 🩷”
“Charlotte was a wonderful sitter and made me feel so comfortable throughout my trip away from my babies (w cats)! Will be booking again the next time I’m away.”
“Estefanía took awesome care of my kitty Moji! She was always on time to the drop-in, sent plenty of photos, and very quickly converted my shy scaredy cat to her usual sweet self. Thanks Estefanía!”

Claudia was so great with our 2 cats! They loved her & warmed up to her right away!!! She is very kind, prompt & so willing to help! Her messages & pictures of the animals while you're away, let's you know they are well taken care of!! Claudia will always be my first choice!!!!
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!
Rachel did an amazing job with checking in on my 2 cats and providing detailed updates! She was able to quickly gain the trust of one of my cats that’s extremely shy to the point she was letting Rachel pet her. Rachel was also flexible with the meeting times and check ins.
Jennevy was really amazing with our cat MuShu, He is only affectionate with his parents, and will tolerate others, and warmed up to her gentle approach very quickly. She took all of my suggestions and advice and directions on how to make our 16 year old grumpy baby comfortable, and was very kind and thoughtful and responsive to every single thing I said (and it was a LOT :) She checked in with photos and even fed our outdoor squirrel friends nuts when I saw on the cameras they were at our back door waiting for us, but we were gone! Her and MuShu would watch the squirrels just like we do. It was great to work with Jennevy she was kind, thoughtful and trustworthy and I would definitely like to have her back again.
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

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
