Marissa was great! She arrived on time to meet my little pups before I went out of town, and also arrived on time the day I scheduled for her to come let them out. She played with them, took them for a walk, fed them, and changed out a potty pad.

About: I've had dogs my whole life including senior dogs and large dogs. I have experience in drop-in sitting for several days at a time. I've taken care of three small elderly dogs at once, including one that was completely blind and hard of hearing. I'm comfortable walking and bathing larger dogs, as I myself have had a dog over 100 pounds. I do not have professional experience, meaning I've never been paid to dog-sit, but I have been sitting for neighbors and friends for several years. He tenido perros todo mi vida, incluyendo perros grandes y de edad avanzada. Tengo experiencia cuidando perros a domicilio durante varios días seguidos. He cuidado a tres perros pequeños y mayores al mismo tiempo, entre ellos uno que era totalmente ciego y tenía problemas de audición. Me siento cómoda paseando y bañando perros grandes, ya que yo misma e tenido un perro de más de 100 libras. No cuento con experiencia profesional, es decir, nunca he cobrado por cuidar perros, pero llevo varios años cuidando los perros de vecinos y amigos. I am a full time university student working part time on my campus! All my classes are scheduled in the morning Monday-Thursday so I’m available after 3 then. Friday-Sunday I can be there for your pets anytime! I do not currently sit in my home, but I do have harnesses and leashes available if you do not already have one. We could discuss whether the leashes and harnesses I own are a good fit for your furry friend! :)

Kaelyn was absolutely wonderful, scheduled the meet and greet quickly, my fur baby, Juicy, loved her. She sent photos every day, and I could see she was so comfortable with her. Made my trip away from my Juice so much easier to tolerate. Will be booking her moving forward whenever needed. Highly recommend. Juice and I thank you, Kaelyn!

About: I have experience grooming and administrating medicine to furry friends that don't enjoy the process. Big or small, quiet or loud, friendly or shy I accept all pets and treat them as if they were my own. I babysit full time which includes pet sitting. I have open availability to take last minute bookings. I have the luxury to do this full time and love to work with peoples schedules. I have a fur baby named Micheal Jackson. He is a 5 year old long haired cat. He gets fed a variety of different foods to maintain a healthy diet. Plenty of enrichment activities, and soon a new fur friend?

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since childhood. I have an interest in all kinds of animals and I do not mind doing the dirty work to take care of them. I currently work 8-5 on weekdays, often ending at 4 or 4:30. I wake up early and can fit pet care into my morning before work and directly following work. In the morning, I can provide food and time outside/play time, and directly after work, I can provide a walk/exercise outside, and I can visit more times later in the evening as well. On weekends, I can come at any time of day, as many times as needed. I have a reliable form of transportation in the form of my own car, and I can very easily get from place to place. I live in the Frankfort suburbs, not too far from many places. In my own home, my pets stay in the house, and the dog is regularly taken outside for the bathroom, as well as getting walked once a day, sometimes twice. The cats do not go outside, and their litter gets cleaned once a day, but I can do more for your own pet. The dog is fed twice a day, and the cats are fed wet food once a day, with dry food available throughout the day.

Emily did an awesome job doing drop-in visits with Sierra. She is great with communication, came for a meet n greet first and followed instructions for the visits. Sierra absolutely loved having her come over to play fetch in the yard, she got belly rubs, fed her treats and made sure she had fresh water before she left. I would absolutely have Emily again…she did a great job all around!

About: I love animals! Sometimes their moms, dads, or owners need a little help to care for their furbabbies and I’m here to provide compassionate care and protection! I work part-time and am open to new opportunities to fill my schedule especially with the love of an animal who needs a little attention. Depending on the animal and the service requested, I treat pets with discipline and a gentle but firm touch. My goal is to protect the animal, myself, the owners, and the public.

About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I’ve always loved animals and taken time to learn how to properly care for them. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to instructions. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving fresh water, cleaning up after pets, taking safe walks, and providing playtime and affection. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. Pet care actually fits really well into my high school schedule especially since i don’t have a job yet. It’s flexible, low stress, and you can choose what works for me When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and bedtime routines. I make sure your pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I provide gentle play, calm companionship, and safe supervision during visits. I also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is being well cared for while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with respect, patience, and responsibility, and I always put your pet’s safety and comfort first.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life ranging from fish, amphibians, rodents, birds, cats, and dogs. I love connecting with animals and giving them all the love they deserve! I also am a former vet assistant (I now work at a vet lab) so I have experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and health statuses. My priority is the pets’ safety and comfort, and will work with them to ensure we have a foundation of trust. I also can work enrichment into my visits to get their minds more stimulated or just give them a 15 minute belly rub if that’s more up their alley. I’ve also trained many of my pets so I can help introduce basic commands to puppies or reinforce commands and manners from older pets. I’m available pretty much every day for the summer. Once mid-August comes around, I’ll be available Sunday-Tuesday at all times and Wednesday-Saturday from 9-11 AM I can come in let the pets out, clean up messes from them, feed/water, play enrichment games or work on training, and give them lots of love!

About: I'm Jenni! I am a huge doggie lover and love children. I have 10+ years of experience working with dogs, including special needs and senior dogs. I also have 10+ years of working with children. I have a lot of patience. I have 2 dogs., Zoe, a Shih Tzu Maltese and Shuri a Cockapoo. I make sure that I am flexible with the needs of the fur babies I care for. I establish a routine that works well for everyone. While I do work, I am not far away and someone is usually home to give potty breaks mid day. I pride myself on working with families to make sure everyone is happy and ensure that extra snuggles and 1 on 1 is given if I am boarding multiple dogs. I have a secure fenced in backyard to allow your fur baby to get their zoomies out. I know how to properly secure your fur baby within their harness, collar and leash. If there is an animal that requires special needs or care (i.e. needing to be let out or walked alone) I practice proper safety ensuring that no one is hurt. I take the time to get to know each fur baby that comes through my doors ensuring their needs are met. On the occasion that I need to step out I will ensure they are safe in an XXL crate, or the crate you provide. I do NOT provide care to specific breeds, including but not limited to, pit bulls, bullies, Rottweiler, German shepherds, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, ASTs, etc. I work a FT teacher but with that comes a teacher schedule! I'm flexible and have several off days, such as holidays, which allows me the flexibility to care for your babies during peak seasons. We have a fenced in yard that is secured by 2 locked gates. I like to go off of a similar, if not the same routine that they are used to. I send lots of pictures and videos and try to have mini photoshoots of your babies if they allow! :). We treat every fur baby as our own so much they never want to leave.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and love caring for them! I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, including my current black Labrador, and at 25 years old, I’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. In college, I helped care for five different cats belonging to my roommates over four years, giving me experience with feline companions as well. What sets me apart is my dedication to meeting each pet’s unique needs. I have experience caring for puppies, kittens, senior cats, and senior dogs, and I’m skilled at administering medications and following precise feeding instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, enrichment time, and mental stimulation, and I’m happy to continue any established training routines. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to every pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or ensuring they feel safe and loved, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’d be thrilled to provide loving care for your pets! I work full-time but am passionate about caring for pets in my free time. I’m available for sittings and check-ins on weekends and weekday evenings after 4 PM. I aim to provide flexible and reliable care to fit your schedule and your pet's needs. I prioritize safety and trust in all my pet care services. I’ll carefully follow your instructions to maintain your pet’s routine and ensure they feel secure in their home environment. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Park Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 10,322 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Park Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Park Forest stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

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.

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 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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Park Forest with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Park Forest. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
