About: Ive owned so many variety's of pets from cats and dogs to gerbils, hamsters, mice, and turtles from 8-18 years old. I love animals and will always put their well-being first in any situation. I am currently a student at Fox working towards my Veterinary Technicians License. I speak Spanish and English! I am currently a full time student-but am available between the hours of 5pm-9pm after school hours and available between 6am-8pm on weekends. I know precisely how to read and animals body language and know when something is wrong. An animal can let me know when they feel uncomfortable and I can let the owner know right away. I have handled many shelter animals and pets and can know when something is not right or if they feel uncomfortable.
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
“Anna is so good with our Yorkie mix. He was a rescue and is suspicious of strangers. Anna did everything right, and now they’ve become fast friends. Anna makes a point of sending pictures and updates. We’re so happy with her care!”

About: Growing up, my love for pets has grown from the times I took care of my own to others rather it was for enjoyment or helping the ones I love. I owned pets from a wide variety, from frogs to fishes to dogs. My recent pet was an American Mixed Pit-bull Terrier, from here my love for Pit-bulls grown beautifully for their personalities and charismatic love. My care with cats began last year as got to get close to my families cat, "Catty". I have spent weeks of watching and caring for him with needs of food, litter, playing and confronting him when he missed his owner on their trips. In Conclusion, my love for pet care is unconditional as I jungle my personal life with the understanding giving a helping hand to people in need. I am currently a full time student at Xavier University Of Louisiana and working part time at Five Guys in Matteson. As a current student a Xavier, located in New Orleans, I take care of my studies and come home for my breaks. Additionally, as a Crew Member at Five Guys, I work 15- 20 hours a week on flexible schedule that perfect for being able to balance pet sitting and my personal life. Unfortunately, I don't care for pets in my home personally because of the pets that live here but I am open to walks and caring of pets in my potential clients home while providing a trustworthily and safe environment. All I ask is for the same respect and trust as well for a balance enjoyable and environment I can return to.
“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 have a unique blend of experience that enables me to give the highest quality of care. I've been a pet mom for 15 years to dogs, cats, and pigs. I also founded and run an animal rescue since 2020. In addition, I spent a year training at a wildlife rehab facility. Essentially, I have devoted my life to making sure animals feel loved and cared for. Your precious baby will be in the best hands! I am very flexible with my schedule and am happy to work around what is best for you and your pets! I have plenty of time to make sure your babies are well cared for and have proper enrichment! I will come to you, so that your pet feels safe and happy in their own environment. Earning their trust is essential and very important to me. All companion animals deserve respect, to feel safe, loved, and have lots of enrichment.

About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.
“Sammi is very attentive. She listened to and followed through with the tasks requested, even when I had a tendency to change a few ideas from time to time. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable going on my trip with her watching my cats. There are also many other positives I can point out such as her having excellent communication, keeping up with updates, having exceptional people skills (which is still needed when dealing with pets) and truly making an effort to take care of my cats and ensure they and I were comfortable. I appreciated this greatly.”

About: I come from a long line of dog lovers. I have a friendly spoiled 2yr old pit bull who would love some four-legged companionship. I have a young child in the house so dogs do have to be child friendly. I have a small home and any dog that stays here would have free run of my home, that includes laying on couches and beds. I do not have much of a yard so dogs will have to be leashed and walked for potty time, otherwise inside the house they are free to play and do what ever their heart desires.

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!

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.

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.

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.
