About: Hi!! My name is Peyton. I grew up with animals both dog and cats. My family and I foster dogs all the time and train them to be the best companions. I’m great with dealing with tough situations and would love to get to know you and your pets! I’d love to know a day or two in advance of what you would need me to do for you but other than that I’m pretty flexible with scheduling! Well I would make sure to know what the client needs from me and where he would want the pets to do and play in. Where there allowed to go and the dos and the donts. Getting an a good idea as to how to care for there pet and how to make a safe environment.
About: I take in a family dog alot and have my own kitten, they get along and my babies know theyre in good hands and so are yours !! I work and go to school full time & i cut my hours at work to study more. I have more time to fit in a few hours of my day to help others who cant get to their pets routinez I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and loved. Ensuring pet friendly space and supervision, offering fresh water, making time for play or walk, gives animal the attention needed and can send updates to owners.
About: I have years of experience working in kennels and animal hospitals as well as my own pets. I moved cross country with no pets and I feel this is perfect to love on your pets without the financial commitment of my own while I’m studying. I’ve nursed 2 very sick elderly cats. I blind and deaf both needing fluids and medication. I’ve nursed another with insulin and diet control. I’ve helped transition puppies to being well trained pups. I’ve been a dog walker and kennel worker. I just miss having the comfort of animals around me and felt this would be a perfect solution to have your pets for a couple days until I graduate and can dedicate my time and attention to a pet again. I am a dental hygiene student please be respectful of my time

About: Please take into consideration the quality of your pet sitter over a low rate inexperienced "pet lover" that just wants to watch animals . There's a difference. "RATES LISTED HERE ARE BASIC RATES- THEY MAY BE ADJUSTED ON A CASE BY CASE SCENARIO (UP OR DOWN) DEPENDING ON THAT ANIMALS PARTICULAR NEEDS" *******IMO- ANIMALS trump most people 😁 I Specialize in special needs animals & alternative ways to treat that aren't offered by most vets due to my life long experience , I know what works. I also am fond on taking care of any & all animals including horses and farm animals. Right down to guinea pigs n snakes of all kinds. If you need dog boarding, as long as I have notice I can make myself available & home 24/7 ** I work M-F daily, so any animal I can work into my schedule is a great fit. I cannot do daily letting out of dogs unless I have NOTICE (deposit required) I am open to ANY animal watched in my home if that is preferential. I can also "stay" in your home outside of my daily work schedule I'm in a huge farm house, large yard and except for weekly job am always home for one on one. Im extremely close to my local vet and have dealt with many different situations.
About: Los amo con mi vida son la Mejor compañía que pueda existir, no espero menos de ellos su fidelidad, son únicos y merecen Mucho amor compresión y ternura. Llevándolos a pasiar caminar es vida y salud, para ellos la mejor medicina es el amor y la compresión, escuchando sus necesidades y dándole mucha atención.💘👑🙏🏻 Atendiendo sus necesidades siguiendo indicaciones de su amo, consintiendo sus caprichos, paseando por los senderos bellos de Chicago descansando en algún parque bello y leyendo algo bien bueno☺️😻
“Mara is simply the best—highly recommended! My husband and I have never trusted anyone outside of family to care for our two senior dogs. One requires medication, and the other is extremely anxious, so finding the right person felt overwhelming. Mara immediately put us at ease. She took the time to meet with me and my dogs before her scheduled visits and was incredibly patient while I learned how to use the app. Not only is she kind and attentive with my pets, but she is also very capable and handled their somewhat complicated care with confidence. She communicated clearly, letting me know when something came up without causing unnecessary worry, and managed every situation thoughtfully—even things I hadn’t anticipated. Mara is responsive, flexible, and truly easy to work with. When I needed to add a service last minute, she responded right away and accommodated my request without hesitation. I can’t say enough good things—she is trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly reliable. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs.”

Devin made my new dog sitter search effortless which I greatly appreciate. She comes with a genuine love for dogs allowing me to work without worry. She was punctual and attentive to my pups needs. I highly recommend her services. Thanks Devin for putting my mind at ease by caring so well for my fur babies. 💘💖💞🤎

Brandon was absolutely fantastic! He took wonderful care of our pets and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our animals as if they were his own. We loved receiving updates and knowing everything was going smoothly. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets made all the difference. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family members, but Brandon exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will definitely be using his services again in the future!

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.
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 Park Forest 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!
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 .

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 .
