“Kathryn house sat and took care of my furcrew (3 dogs and 2 cats) over the holiday weekend. She did an amazing job!! She came for a meet-n-greet prior to the weekend to get everyone’s stamp of approval. Over the course of the weekend she provided updates and photos of the whole crew. We were able to engage with each other through the whole weekend for any surprises, tips, questions or things forgotten to say in the hustle of packing.”
About: I have personally owned all kinds of pets. Ferrets, cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and birds. I have a deep love for all fur babies. I prioritize their well being and enrichment I currently work full time with a flexible retail schedule. I am open to working early mornings and late nights. My current job shifts very from 10-6 or 1:30-9. So any hours outside of that i am available I am open to making sure animals are played with and cuddled as much as it may need. And taking out for bathroom breaks, and cleaned up after.
“Very happy with Patrycja. She dog sat last weekend and I felt she gave my Ivy a great amount of attention and exercise. She even washed the sheets before she left, which was an unexpected bonus! Would definitely use her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Chanty. I’m based in Oak Forest and love spending time outdoors with dogs. I had a Yorkie for 15 years, so I’ve cared for dogs through all stages of life. I’ve also helped care for pit bulls, rescued young pups, and regularly look after my sister’s Maltese. I treat animals like family. I care for them with the same love and attention I’d give my own, playing and interacting with them based on their needs and energy, while also keeping up with routines, cleanliness, and any special needs they may have. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, so I am happy to meet you and your pup beforehand. I also make it a point to keep you updated during visits with photos, messages, and anything else that would help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I get around by bike and offer nearby walks and drop-ins full of play, love and personalized care. Whether your pup needs adventure, calm companionship, or even just a bath, I’d love to help out! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work freelance online and create my own schedule. I’m very flexible and can adapt week to week to meet your needs, whether you need a regular walker or occasional drop-ins! When I’m in someone else’s home or caring for their pet, I treat it all with the same respect I treat my own. You can trust that I will follow whatever routines or instructions you give me, and I always leave things clean and as I found them. I try to really tune into each animal’s mood and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Jennifer was FANTASTIC! She actually spent time hanging out with my dogs when house sitting. Jennifer even came back over to check on dogs when flight got in late. I will use her again! Thank you!”
About: I’ve spent the past nine years caring for my poodle, watching her grow from a curious little puppy into my best friend. She is my fur sister. That experience taught me the importance of patience, love, and daily companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I work part-time, which means I have lots of free time to give your furry friend the love, play, and attention they deserve. I’m available on weekdays from 8 AM to 8 PM. Having cared for my poodle for the past nine years, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and part of the family. In my home, pets have a cozy and secure space where they can relax, play, and enjoy daily companionship. I follow their usual feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to their familiar schedule, so they feel just as loved and secure as they do with you.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years, primarily through dog sitting for family, friends, and others in my community. I’m comfortable keeping up with regular feeding schedules, long walks, trips to the dog park, playtime, and making sure each pup gets plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped administer basic medications, including pills and eye drops, when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable and on their normal schedule. Whether your pup needs an active walking buddy, lots of playtime, or someone to keep them company and give them plenty of cuddles, I’m happy to help! Although I work full-time, pet care fits very easily into my weekly routine. I typically work from home two days a week, usually Mondays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, check-ins, and spending time with pets throughout the day. I’m also generally free in the evenings after work and have open availability on weekends. I enjoy staying active and getting outside, so taking dogs for walks or spending time playing with them is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m very comfortable planning my schedule around pet care and making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Since I have a flexible routine outside of work, I’m able to be reliable and consistent with the pets I’m caring for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their normal routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other specific needs. I’m respectful of the home and will stick to the common areas and spaces needed to care for the pet. I’ll always clean up after myself, keep things tidy, and make sure the home is left just as I found it. Most importantly, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
About: I grew up on a farm and we've always had 3 dogs and 2 cats along with a plethora of other animals. I know how to ensure safety and have a clear head when things go awry. I absolutely adore dogs and cats of all ages and can competently take care of any range of behaviors. I'm a ballerina and a personal trainer. But I will absolutely check in, walk or play with your pet any chance that I get! Normally it would be in the morning or near the evening. My schedule is more open on the weekends. I am a very precautious person when it comes to the safety of your pets. I always double check instructions and make sure the door or cage is secure before I leave. I also will give them all the love and attention they could want.
“We had a great experience with Marisol! She was very responsive, accepted our booking on short notice, and took wonderful care of our puppy in our home. She was respectful of our house, left everything neat and clean, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, Finley seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”

She was polite and kind- she left our house in immaculate condition when she left. We were such at ease during our trip as she made sure to Give us updates and pictures!

About: I have had a dog my whole life! I’m great with animals because I’m patient, caring, and responsible. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to their needs and always make sure they have proper food, exercise, attention, and care. I’m currently working Mondays and Thursdays so I am available everyday except for that.

Big or small, quiet or loud, friendly or shy I accept all pets and treat them as if they were my own. I have open availability to take last minute bookings and have the luxury to do this full time.This helps with my ability to work with people’s schedules.

I believe every dog deserves personalized care, attention, and plenty of love. I treat every dog like my own and love getting to know their unique personalities, routines, and favorite things.

About: I offer a home-based boarding experience designed for pets who deserve thoughtful, elevated care. My home is calm, beautifully maintained, and intentionally structured—ideal for dogs who thrive on routine, comfort, and personalized attention. I share my home with a 15-year-old miniature poodle, so I selectively welcome only gentle, compatible dogs to maintain a peaceful, low-stress environment. With limited capacity, each guest receives attentive supervision, individualized care, and a nurturing, high-quality stay. I’m enjoying early retirement and have chosen to devote my time to providing full-time, attentive care for dogs. This allows me to be consistently present, unhurried, and deeply focused on each guest’s comfort, routine, and overall well-being throughout their stay. I have a beautiful and clean spacious split level home for your fur baby to freely move around in. My home features a securely fenced yard designed for safe, supervised playtime. Dogs enjoy calm outdoor breaks and gentle activity in a controlled environment, always under attentive supervision to ensure comfort, safety, and peace of mind.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orland Park
Mia was a great Rover sitter! She followed all of my instructions and took really good care of my dogs. I have one senior dog, and she was especially great with her. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, so I knew they were in good hands. I would definitely use Mia again!
Jennifer has babysat twice for our 2 tiny Yorkies. We have a rather strict schedule for them and Jennifer followed everything exactly. She is an outstanding babysitter. In addition she is a very kind and caring person. I would highly recommend her and hope she will babysit for us for a long time. I would like to add that when we have been away, we are able to completely relax and not worry.
This was the first time we used a pet sitter and we found Katelyn. Shes amazing with our senior diva Stella. What a wonderful experience for us. Katelyn took great care of Stella and she made sure Stella comfortable staying in our home. It was important that at 11 years young we didn’t want to board her. Katelyn sent us pictures and updates even though we were on a cruise. I gave Katelyn all stars she deserved then as Stella can be picky with warming up.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Orland Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Orland Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Orland Park 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
