“Peggy was amazing, she was very understanding on how we want the two boys to be walked the commands they must listen to. They both accepted her and the bigger guy does amazing with her on walks, better than me. She always follows up post walk and how they did. She is very kind enough to clean up after the little guy pees cuz he gets so happy to see her:)”
“Amy played with my cats and you could tell she gained their trust. She always arrived on time and sometimes even earlier. I would definitely call her again someday. Thanks Amy.”
“Michelle was great with Gandalf she went above and beyond. She played with him cuddled him and left him some shows on for some mental stimulation while we were away.”
About: We always had dogs and cats growing up as a kid which instilled my love for animals. I currently have a 22 year old cat that I’ve had since she was a kitten. I also have 2 bearded dragons and a ball python. My schedule is very flexible. I have 2 kids in middle school which means they don’t want me hovering over them as much (which breaks my heart). I have a fenced yard and I love taking walks. I have a gate to keep dogs from going upstairs to the bedrooms but they will have freedom to the rest of the house.
“I was a bit nervous leaving my cat with someone I hadn’t met before, but I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Robin was incredibly professional from the start—communicative, punctual, and clearly experienced with pets. While I was away, Robin sent regular updates with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept the litter box clean, followed all instructions, and most importantly, took wonderful care of my cat. I came home to a well cared for kitty and a tidy space. I highly recommend Robin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Amanda was the first rover experience I had; she has a lot of dog experience and was very friendly! I booked her very last minute and she was willing to meet with me and have flexibility for my needs. She came the next day to care for our new puppy, sent notes, and was willing to answer any of my questions about our first day apart from the puppy. I look forward to using her dog boarding services in the future.”
“Karen did a great job caring for our family sphynx cat Rocco! She sends me updates often and I can see her experience through them! Definitely recommend her! Thank you Karen! :)”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away
“Suzanne was very nice, punctual and I had complete confidence in her. This was a long time away and the first time I’d left my cat for so long. Suzanne sent me photos and reassured me all was well. And it was. With my cat, with my condo and thus with my trip. Thanks so much. I will certainly ask for her again.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I volunteered for two years at an animal shelter, where I helped care for dogs by providing exercise, socialization, and daily attention. This experience taught me how to work with a variety of temperaments and how to make animals feel safe and comfortable. I am also a dog owner myself and currently care for two Doberman Pinschers, which has given me extensive experience handling large, energetic breeds and understanding their physical and emotional needs. In addition, I have provided pet sitting services for many neighbors and family friends, earning their trust through my reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calmer routine, I am committed to providing personalized care, plenty of attention, and a safe environment. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to make them feel loved and comfortable while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing with dogs, and making sure they receive the exercise, attention, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide consistent and personalized care. In my home and in clients' homes, I ensure pets have a safe, clean, and supervised environment. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special requests from owners. Having cared for my own two Doberman Pinschers and many pets for neighbors and friends, I am comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I've been helping care for animals for as long as I can remember! I have helped my family pet sit, volunteered at the animal shelter, and genuinely enjoy the company of animals. I am currently working as a freelance artist! Between gigs I have lots of flexible time to come take care of your pets. I am available for drop-ins/walks most days of the week, and I usually have some weekend availability! It's a priority of mine to establish trust with your animals! I am very keen on body language and other behavioral cues that allow me to meet your pets where they're at. If there are special instructions for an animal, I make sure to follow them to the letter.
“Katie was amazing! With Peanut recently going blind and our honeymoon coming up, we couldn't board him and needed someone to come and give him his oral meds/insulin injections. She took the time to come by to watch me do his feeding/injections and was able to do the same without any issues! Highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as if they were my own. Family and friends have entrusted me to care for their pets and I’ve given my full attention to them and their needs from playing with high energy dogs to making sure cats are comfortable and safe depending on their mood. I am currently working full time during weekdays but am available after 5pm. I do get every other Friday off and am off weekends. I am available after work for walks or during my days off. Also, for boarding I am available on Fridays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and no kids in my household. That way your pet has all the space and attention I will give him/her. I will treat them as if they are my own and to make sure they are offered the best service, I will accommodate if needed and ask owners all the preferences their pets have.
“We couldn't be happier with Patrick's care for our two energetic pups while we were away on vacation. Right away, it was obvious that Patrick cared during the meet-and-greet. He made sure to understand every detail about their needs, routines, and how to give them their medications at lunch. He also made sure to update us on when he arrived and left and sent us photos. It was evident that he genuinely loves pets and takes caring for them seriously. Knowing our dogs were in such capable hands allowed us to enjoy our trip with peace of mind. We highly recommend Patrick to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet care, and we will definitely be utilizing his services again in the future. Thank you, Patrick, for your exceptional care of our furry family members!”
“Lisa and her daughter have been helping my fiancé and I out with our puppy Rudy! They have amazing communication and show they really care about our pets. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and taking care of them is second nature. I see Rover as a way to interact & keep them in my life while not having one of my own at home. I already routinely take 1 to 2 walks during my day, so the addition dog walking or sitting fits rights into my daily schedule now. In your home, I am clean, orderly, and can clearly follow all instructions given. You will find your fur baby and your home better off than you left them before
About: My family has had dogs since I was young. I also pet sit for friends and family while they are away on trips. I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a teacher so I am off during the summers. I do tutor but am happy to work with you to see what times will work best for us and your pets :) I am more than happy to play with your pets inside (and outside if able) your home, crate if necessary and take walks as needed.
About: As a veterinary student, I bring a calm, knowledgeable, and detail oriented approach to every pet I care for. My background gives me a strong foundation in animal behavior, so I’m comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and creating a low stress, positive environment for pets of all personalities. I also have hands‑on experience with senior pet care, including medication administration, mobility support, and adapting routines to keep older pets comfortable and happy. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to the small details that help pets feel safe and understood. I’m currently on summer break, which means my schedule is wide open and very flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each visit is calm, unhurried, and focused entirely on your pet. Because I’m not in classes right now, I can offer consistent routines, extra attention, and plenty of time for enrichment, walks, or quiet companionship. Your pet gets reliable care, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who’s fully present and attentive. My background has trained me to read animal behavior and stress signals, so I always approach pets gently and at their comfort level. I follow your care instructions closely; feeding routines, medications, enrichment, litter box care, and any house rules you have. I double check doors, gates, and latches every visit to keep your pet secure. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and make sure everything is exactly as you left it. During visits, I prioritize low stress handling, clean water, safe play, and a calm environment. I pay attention to changes in appetite, behavior, or energy so I can update you right away. You’ll always get clear communication and detailed updates, because trust and transparency matter.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Orland Hills
Katie was amazing with our cats!! We have one very social cat who loved making a new friend and one typical scaredy cat and Katie helped take all our travel nerves away taking such great care of both our cats. We loved seeing the notes and pictures each day! Would highly recommend Katie 🙂
Suzanne has taken care of my cat a couple of times and she has been always going above and beyond. Each day she drops in she gives me constant detailed updates and sends me pictures. She made my life easier & I’m definitely going to use her help again when I’m traveling next.
Marissa was amazing! I was nervous because this was our first time using Rover but as soon as I met Marissa I knew I had nothing to worry about and our fur babies would be well cared for. We had 4 drop in visits on one day and an early morning visit the next and Marissa always sent pictures and kept us updated. Our rottweiler plopped down in her lap the first time he met her and that says a lot! We will definitely use her again.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orland Hills. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
