“Karen was wonderful with our 14 year old dog Mollie. She has the heart of gold, a very calming presence about her, and is truly the dog whisperer. Our dog calmed down within minutes of meeting Karen. Karen is an excellent communicator and provides updates upon arrival and departure. We look forward to having her again soon!”
“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:)”
“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: 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
“Lisa is attentive and reliable! I had never used Rover before but we needed someone to feed our cats while we were away. I booked Lisa for multiple drop-in visits based on her reviews and I’m very glad I did. She is communicative and caring. Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Megan is fantastic! I am so happy we found her here on Rover! We had Megan do drop in visits for a long weekend trip. We have two big dogs and two young cats. Megan came over a few days before we went out of town. When we met her she was so incredibly nice and our pets liked her immediately. You can tell she is an animal lover and very good with them. After going over the schedule we were felt very confident our babies were in good hands. Megan took great care of our crew. She sent pictures and very detailed updates of each visit. She played with them and pet them a lot at every visit. She walked the dogs daily. Our dogs are big and energetic so it was great they still got their daily walks. When we got home our babies were all happy to see us, but you could tell they were not desperate to see us like they have been in the past with other sitters. Our boxer pit-bull mix, Jack, can have horrible separation anxiety and you could see clearly he did not show signs of stress. My son also tends to get stressed and homesick leaving our pets. He worries about them. He loved seeing Megan’s pictures and all the details she left after each visit. He was really able to enjoy this trip, because he could see how happy they were when Megan visited them. I definitely recommend Megan and we will absolutely book 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.
“Sarah was amazing! She showed extra love and care for our dog, including bringing extra toys/treats and sending plenty of photos/videos and updates! Will be booking with her again for sure!!”
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.
“Robin did a fantastic job checking-in and walking my dogs while I was out of town. She sent pictures of the pets while she was at the house and gave a summary of her visit once she left. I will definitely use her services in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable person to look after their pets.”
“Bob does a great job taking care of our puppy while we’re at work! He makes sure our puppy gets lots of playtime and attention! Even on a snowy day, Bob made sure she got plenty of outside time 😊”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I am a school psychologist and very in tune with animals and people and have a passion for taking care of others, especially dogs. I believe dogs truly make a house a home. I am off for the summer so have all day to take care of your pet. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs and would love to spend my summer with your fur baby. I have a fenced in yard. I have three teenage pet lovers who will also shower your dog with attention. I enjoy walking your dog if that is something your pet likes to do. I have a safe neighborhood with trails nearby. I will always be interested in your pet's personality. For example how they get along with other dogs and humans and I will always have their best interest in mind. I work full time but am off during the summer so I have plenty of time to play with your dog. During the school year I am not home from 7:30- 3:30 Monday - Friday. Howeyour family loves weekend visitors. I have a fenced in yard so your dog can play outside. I would like them to bring their own bed or crate so they feel secure at night.
“Victoria has been great with Sierra. She was able to make a very shy 4 month old puppy feel comfortable and happy right away. Now Sierra gets so excited when Victoria comes to let her out, walk her and play with her. Communication has been great and she’s always on time to let Sierra out. Looking forward to Sierra having a long-term loving pet sitter.”

Amanda was great. Larry got to go out and play and also got fed in a timely manner. I was able to go to see the Nascar race in Joliet while not having to worry about Larry being locked in the house. Perfect plan. This was my first experience with Rover. Worked out well.
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.

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 Orland Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
