“Sarah was a lifesaver with a last minute booking for our English bulldog, Gracie! She gave Gracie incredible care, kept us updated, and was a complete professional. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!”
About: I provide exceptional care and have much love for dogs and all animals. I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life, and love walking, feeding, and spending time with them. I have worked with dogs all ages and don’t mind puppy energy. I am reliable and responsible and will be there when asked, and treat your pet and house with respect. I am currently a college student and have plenty of time for pet care. I don’t mind stopping in 1-3 times a day to entertain, take care, feed, and/or walk your pets. I will treat your pet and house with kindness and respect. I have pleanty of patience and energy and love playing with pets. I will make sure your pet has all needs taken care of.
About: I grew with a 60lb English Bulldog who had a rambunctious spirit. With him I learned the special needs from particular breeds. Later I had a 5 lb Yorkie. She was a sweetheart that wanted nothing more than to be by your side. They were the best around. I am happy to walk your dog(s), run them in the yard, or spend time with them indoors to break up the time they spend alone. I’m also happy to stop by to feed your cats and give them some one on on time. I like to work within my community. It builds trust between both parties. I’m a college student continuing in the fall. My hours are flexible until then. While I don’t house your pets, I am able to tend to them in your home. I can check a litter box, handle feedings, play with them, and run them in your fenced yard. I’m happy to walk them through their neighborhood or to take them for long walks to a local park. We can tailor the visit to their specific needs.
“Patricia was so great! Helped take care of our little zoo of ferrets, chickens, lizard, fish and a cat. Our ferret needed daily medicine which was super important and Patricia was so reliable we didn’t have to worry! She was thorough and communicated well, plus shared cute pics of our critters too… would highly recommend!!”
“Mary is always reliable and great with our animals. She communicates well and takes good care of them when we are gone. She also listens to what we ask her to do with them including meds for our elderly cat.”
About: I volunteered at PAWS Chicago, walked dogs at Chicago K9 Rescue, and lived and cared for a cat in the past. Super comfortable around animals. I’m a college student on break for the summer, so there isn’t much going on day to day; my schedule is very flexible. I will be patient with your pet and try to make things as comfortable as possible for him/her. I will also respect your home and any rules you set for your house.
About: I have cared for and owned dogs since I was 10 years old. As of this past year I also cared for my senior dog giving daily medication (oral and topical). I am a mostly stay at home mom. I work 2 hours a day during the school year otherwise I am home and available to care for your pet! We currently do not have any pets in our home. We have a large fenced in yard and I can also take your pet on multiple walks during the day.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was young and continue to care for my senior cat whom I’ve had for the last 12 years. I have experience walking dogs ranging from small to large sizes, and live near a forest preserve trail that would be perfect for their walks! Friends and neighbors have also relied on me to do drop-in feedings as well. I work full-time, 4 days a week, evening shift. So I am available most mornings and have a pretty flexible 3-day weekend schedule. I live in a building complex that has a fenced in little dog park for your pup to run around in. I’m also near a forest preserve trail if they prefer longer walks to explore nature. Cats will have a safe, quiet space to stay with a large window to sun bathe in the mornings and cozy blankets to snuggle in.
About: I've been caring for dogs since childhood, from tiny Havanese to large German Shepherds, and I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and outgoing or shy and anxious, I have the patience and understanding to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to earn each dog's trust while providing plenty of attention and affection. I also have experience administering medications to dogs and am happy to follow any care instructions to keep your pet healthy and comfortable. Whether you need dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, or overnight care, you can count on me to treat your dog like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for every visit. As a current graduate student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet(s). I'm available for dog walks and dog/cat drop-in visits Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM, as well as Mondays from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. I also offer overnight pet sitting on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday. I understand that consistency and communication are important, and I'm committed to being dependable, punctual, and responsive so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is to keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, crate or kennel routines, and any other specific needs your pet may have. During walks, your dog's safety is my top priority. I ensure they remain securely leashed, closely supervise their surroundings, and only allow interactions with people or other animals if you've given permission. Whether I'm stopping by for a drop-in visit, taking your dog for a walk, or providing overnight care, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Best sitter ever! Helped our anxious dogs through a week of our absence and allowed my family and I to enjoy a vacation and family wedding with ease! Thank you SO much, Yazmin!”
About: 🐾 About us Certified Dog Trainer (Animal Behavior College – Positive Reinforcement Based Training) I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and what started as helping family and friends turned into a true passion and profession. My wife and I both work from home, which means your dog receives consistent supervision, structure, and plenty of attention throughout the day. 📍 Located 10 minutes from O’Hare — perfect for travelers. 🕒 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours Monday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Tuesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Wednesday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Thursday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Friday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Saturday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM Sunday: 12:30 PM – 9:00 PM Please select a specific 30-minute drop-off and pick-up window when booking. I ask that you arrive within that window so we can keep transitions smooth, organized, and stress-free for everyone. If anything changes, just communicate as early as possible — I completely understand that travel plans can shift. 🏡 Our Home & Philosophy We have a fully fenced yard and a dog-friendly home designed with safety in mind. Playtime is always supervised, and dogs only interact if we’re 100% confident they get along. It’s completely okay if your dog prefers people over other dogs — we respect every dog’s personality. Each dog enjoys free roaming, walks, and one-on-one interaction with us — they’re treated like part of the home, not just part of a group. 📋 Requirements Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable resting in a crate when needed. They must also be up to date on all required vaccinations to ensure the health and safety of every dog in our care. These standards help us maintain a calm, structured, and safe environment for everyone. 📸 Updates You’ll receive daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. 🐾 Our biggest priorities are ❤️ Love, 🛡 Safety, 🤝 Trust, and 🏡 Comfort. Our number one rule: no dog is ever put in a position where they feel they have to defend themselves.
“Emma did a great job watching our dog and cats while we were out of town! She showed up on time for all the check-ins, which was such a relief to know their routine was being kept up. She sent lots of pictures and I could see all the animals loved her, even our skittish cat came out to get some love!”
About: Well, I may not be the worlds best, but I sure try to be! Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to give their pets the care and love they deserve for years. I’m currently staying close to home to take care of my mother, so your pet will never be left alone. I will have time to walk or check up on your pets however often is needed as well. I like to make sure that your pet has a happy and safe time in my car. I pay great attention to detail in my care for animals and can follow any additional instructions. I have also had several different kinds of pets myself, so I have a wide experience with all kinds of pets.
About: I've have taken care of dogs and many other pets since I was 10 my mother is a vet and she grow up on a farm in Tennessee . She taught me alot most recently I watched a friend's pitbull terrier for about 6 months when they where out of town in my own home . I love animals of all types . And my heart is always open to help . I'm currently self employed . I have a maid service but business is a little slow. So am doing Rover to make a little extra $$. But does mean am only here for the $$ . I genuinely love animals. I have a fenced yard . Your love one will be safe as if they are mine that's a fact. Everything I do is done with care and patience.
About: I have experienced with many small and big dogs. When I see dogs that are growling or my own I try to steer away from that and make sure I walk away. Dogs have emotions and feelings just like we do and that is why it is essential to make sure they are kept up well fed and exercised. Personally I am a student but found dog sitting to be a mental break for me because I enjoy spending time with dogs. Everyday I make sure I see a smile from my dog and that he is well fed and exercised. I take care of my Boston terrier and sometimes my sister’s Great Pyrenees and these two are both different characters. No matter what dog breed it may be each dog will be treated with respect and care.
About: I am originally from Chicago, IL and ever since I was born we’ve had dogs in my household. Currently, my parents have two Great Pyrenees named Harry + Sally (in profile picture). I’m always looking to meet and watch new and existing clients’ dogs! I have a work schedule where I know when I will be off each day to help with planning purposes. I currently live in Germantown and work in West Nashville, so I am close to all neighborhoods at all times. I am willing to make visits to your home as needed and can board certain dogs. My apartment does allow dogs and am close to lots of dog parks if you prefer that.
“Ben is great! You can tell he really loves animals. He is professional and courteous and our dogs loved him. I felt very comfortable and secure leaving our dogs in his care while we were out of town. This is the first time that I have used Rover and my experience was fantastic. I wpuld definitely book Ben to care for my dogs again! Thanks Ben!”

Elizabeth took such excellent care of our dog Max. She was attentive, friendly and caring towards Max. She gave me an update on Max each time she visited and how their walk went. I was at ease knowing Elizabeth was taking care of Max for us. It made for a relaxing vacation!
Katherine was absolutely amazing with my 12-week-old Cavapoo puppy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first dog sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She hand-fed him his dinner, took him outside to potty twice, spent time playing with him, and even put him in his crate for bedtime. What meant the most to me was that she stayed for a few extra minutes to make sure he settled down before leaving. That level of care and patience gave me so much peace of mind. As a new puppy owner, it’s not easy trusting someone with such a young puppy, but Katherine treated him with so much kindness and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter!
Elva was great with my dogs! She is professional, reliable, always on time, and truly cares about making sure my babies get the most out of their visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands, and they were always happy and well cared for after spending time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
We had Nicholas care for our dog and four cats while we were away, including administering medication twice daily for one of our cats. Overall, he was reliable and made sure everyone was fed, cared for, and safe. We appreciated the photos and updates during visits. Our dog did get spooked during one walk due to a loud car and had a harder time going out after that, so more backyard time was used. There was an accident during one of the visits, which he handled and cleaned up, and we appreciated that. Overall, we’re grateful our pets were well cared for and would book again.
We just got home from a 10 day trip. Our dog, Heidi, seemed very happy and excited. This is our third time using Isaiah, and like before he was reliable and communicated very well with us. He took care of Heidi’s needs. We all enjoy his help. I highly recommend him.
Thanks for all your love and help with timo during my vacations. For anyone that is thinking in someone to trust to be at your home when you are not Jamie is the person, she keep the keys of my home for a month and she is super responsible and take care of my dog with so much love, always make sure he is happy , safe and give me all the updates needed.
Arielle is a fantastic sitter who I highly recommend to anyone. She was very attentive to my Boxer's needs, checked in often and provided updates consistently. Communication was never an issue and I never worried that my dog was not being taken care of. Thanks Arielle!

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 Ridge 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.
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 Ridge 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 .

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 Ridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
