About: I live in Chicago’s Northwest just outside of O’hare with my 7 year old Boston Terrier-Boxer named Lilly, whom I’ve had since she was 7 weeks old. Before Lilly, I grew up with 2 dogs, both small and large, along with several cats and other pets. I have gone through professional dog training with all 3 of our dogs, most recently with my own puppy. I have always been a dog lover at heart and love taking care of pets. I have dog sat for several of my friends over the years, and I have taken care of dogs ranging from miniature pinschers to Great Danes. I believe in positive reinforcement training and never any punishment, physical harm or yelling. Currently I have open availability as I’m Working as a caregiver to a senior friend. I take all request/rules very seriously when responsible for others’ pets. I am able to travel up to about 5 miles via the CTA and if I have my car, I’m able to drive. I currently have open availability and I like to say I work 11-11, but can take on earlier clients as needed. I am usually running a little late, but I will try to be more punctual! My pets always have fresh water in a clean bowl, and clean food bowls typically fed twice a day with treats throughout. I learned that pets do better eating when you eat, so I’ve taken on that habit.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and am an absolute dog lover! I have a large fenced in yard that dogs love to play in. I look forward to caring for your furry friend and helping with whatever they need. I work from home and can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I’m available all day or night and weekends as well. Thank you! I have a dog and three children who will be able to play with your animal while I care for them in my home. I work from the house, so will spend the day with your dog. Your dog will have as much time playing in the backyard that they’d like!

About: I worked at a dog daycare/boarding place at the Wag Hotels Schiller Park location for 2 1/2 years: feeding, cleaning their rooms, giving medications and more! I have great experience with both cats and all types of dogs and have always enjoyed my time spent with the animals! :) I also have my own animals at home that I take care of— both a dog and a cat. I am taking classes during the week and my schedule will be more packed during the weekdays, so weekends would be the best for me to work with! Unfortunately I cannot house pets during the day or overnight as I am in school, but I am available for drop in visits, dog-walking, and possibly future pet sitting opportunities!
About: I am an experienced, reliable and dependable pet lover. I have grown up my whole life with animals. I recently had to put my senior pitbull down so my house is very quiet now. Pet care is my passion and currently my main source of income and work. I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I am interested in walking, daily visits, or overnight boarding anytime of the week. Our home has a large fenced in yard, perfect for your pup to enjoy some fresh air, or bask in the sunshine. I can take your pet on walks or they can run around in the yard. Or we can snuggle up on the couch and get lots of belly rubs.

Someone told me once that I can't pet all the dogs I see, and I said watch me😎 I'm currently staying at home so my schedule is pretty open. I already take care of two dogs at home so adding a third or fourth wouldn't be a big deal. I have a fenced in yard and both of my doggies are well socialized and like to hangout with other dogs. At a client's home I follow whatever instructions are needed.

We have a fenced yard where they can run around in which we usually also keep a close eye while they are out
“Crystal was amazing with our 2 cats, especially my shy little guy. They absolutely loved her as she made sure they were fed, played with, and given attention. Crystal was awesome with communication, asking questions, leaving notes, etc. She left treats and pictures of our sweet boys. We felt so much better leaving them under her care!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - O'Hare
Chris was wonderful! I can’t say enough good things. My cats are very shy and he had them literally eating out of his hands on day one. He kept me informed with photos and texts and was so gentle and kind. I felt completely safe and full of trust that he had them comfortable during the heatwave that hit this week. He even did some random house tasks. He is incredible. Book him. Pay him. Tip him. It’s more than worth it.
Elva was great with my dogs! She is professional, reliable, always on time, and truly cares about making sure my babies get the most out of their visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands, and they were always happy and well cared for after spending time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
