About: I have taken care of two golden retrievers of my own. I have experience working with puppies as well as larger sized dogs. I love playing with dogs and making sure their needs are met. I’m currently working at a school and will have more availability this summer to take additional clients. I am available in the afternoon and evenings. I thrive off of detailed explanation from pet parents on how to make their fur babies more comfortable while their parents are away. I make sure to leave everything clean and tidy after my service is complete.

Tatiana was wonderful with my cats and would definitely get her to sit them again. She's very diligent, thorough, and reliable. She goes beyond what is expected of her. Always sent very good pictures, videos, and summary of her time spent with my kitties.

Chloe clicked with my dog Ellie instantly, they loved each other during the meet and greet. We left Ellie in good hands for one day with Chloe. She stopped by several times during the day and next day to make sure Ellie was well fed and loved. The pictures she sent made me relieved that Ellie was well taken care of while I was away. I’ll definitely be asking her to care for my dog next time I’m away 💛.

Taylor was the best cat sitter I have had on Rover so far! She was so thorough taking care of my cat Eleanor - sending lots of photos/updates, playing with her lots every day, and making sure she was happy while I was away. I felt super safe, and would definitely book her again. Thanks Taylor! 🙏

About: Hi, I’m Miru. Dogs genuinely make my day :) I have 10+ years of experience in dog walking, house sitting, and drop in visits. Here to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. I currently share my home with a 14 y.o. Maltese, so I have a soft spot for seniors and know how to care for dogs at every life stage. My clients describe me as reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy, and I take pride in always showing up as scheduled. I’d love to meet your pup and answer any questions you have. Their happiness is the whole point! I’m a recent graduate from Virginia Tech’s agricultural & applied economics masters program. I have full availability to care for your pet(s), including holidays and weekends. Safety is of utmost importance to me. I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences. If necessary, I am experienced in crate training and can provide a secure and comfortable space for your dog if you prefer them to be crated while I am caring for them. I am diligent in following any specific safety instructions or guidelines you provide to ensure your pet's safety at all times. Trust is the foundation of a successful pet caretaker-client relationship. I recognize the trust you place in me by allowing me access to your home and entrusting me with the care of your furry family member. I take this responsibility seriously and will always respect your home, privacy, and belongings. You can trust that I will provide the highest level of care and attention to your pet, just as if they were my own. Creating a comfortable environment for your pet is crucial for their well-being. I understand that some pets have specific preferences or routines, and I am committed to maintaining those while you're away. If you request that your dog be kept off furniture, I will ensure they adhere to that rule. I will follow any specific instructions you provide regarding feeding, playtime, or any other routines your pet requires. By maintaining a familiar and comfortable environment, I aim to reduce any stress or anxiety your pet may experience in your absence. In addition to safety, trust, and comfort, I also pay close attention to the overall environment in your home. I am mindful of maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards during my stay. I will clean up after your pet, dispose of waste properly, and keep their living area tidy. I believe that a clean and organized space contributes to your pet's well-being and helps create a positive atmosphere for them. Your pet's happiness and contentment are my top priorities. By focusing on safety, building trust, and creating a comfortable environment, I strive to provide the best possible care for your furry friend. You can rest assured that I will go above and beyond to ensure their well-being while you are away.

About: Animals have been a part of my life since childhood, from our show dog who was an Irish Wolfhound to being a rescue mom to smaller terriers. I have cared for horses, chickens, bunnies which included pets with special handicaps. With deep empathy and natural connection, I understand animals on an intuitive level. I have trained puppies, comforted seniors and welcomed countless creatures who somehow find their way to my home. Your pet will find a home away from home here with me, safe, loving-and I look forward to offering the same love I show all animals to your beloved pet. All the animals in my home live in harmony together. Some visitors marvel at that fact but it's how I treat each animal with love and care that fosters this environment. All needs are met and everyone is happy! I am home during the day and available to provide attentive care for your pet. I may step out briefly for errands or other chores but will ensure your pet's needs are fully met and they get plenty of company and care. Our home is on one acre with a fenced in yard and great area for walking with lots of trees in a peaceful setting. I have a senior dog (17 yo) that loves company. We also have cats which are friendly and curious.

Matthew has been an amazing pet sitter and care taker for my two boys, including my senior cat with significant health concerns. I was kept updated with each visit, and Matt was very communicative with medications and how much each boy ate. I feel secure whenever Matt watched my boys!

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all kinds since childhood. I have done overnight cat sitting, boarded cats in my home, and done drop in cat and dog sitting, as well as dog walking. I’ve raised my own dog since she was 8 weeks old, and have experience caring for kittens as young as 3 months! I adore animals of all kinds and promise to give yours the attention and care they need to thrive 😊 I am currently a student at CofC, but still have plenty of time in the morning and afternoons to drop in and care for your four legged friend! I have experience walking large dogs and dogs who pull; your dog is in safe hands with me! While I am not certified, I also have taken some classes on dog training!

About: *** Please don't send me requests for dates if you see my calendar is already blocked off with those dates & PLEASE READ MY ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE BOOKING *** I keep my calendar up to date so use other dates if Rover insists you must pick dates for sitting in order for a message to go thru** Also, if booking for day care, after 4 hours of a stay, this is going to get the full day rate because I do not take multiple dogs I am also charging for 3 days when it's a weekend if the dog is coming early on Friday and going home on Sunday because I can't have a dog for 3 days and only get paid for 2 days. I have only raised my rate by $1-2 since Covid & take one family of dogs at a time. Please respond back to all messages if you reach out. Thx. ** I am trying to take dogs now under 50 pounds, very small/small to medium preferred. It would be very helpful if you list the specific breed of your dog too and give details. No aggressive breeds taken, sorry, no Pitbulls. My husband and I both work from home as my only job is caring for the dogs staying at my house. It is nice because someone is always here and the dogs get a ton of attention. My name is Hope Landow-Schnur and I adore dogs. I raised my own dogs for over 14+ years - Bailey and Jango. Everyone that knows me, knows that I am the ultimate pet lover and treated my dogs as well as my children. We have a nice home in River Vale, NJ with a huge 6' high fenced in yard. I am married with triplets - 22 years old and they love playing with our guest dogs. I have my own big crate set up (only if you crate your dog) and ready to welcome your dog(s) into my home when you need to be away overnight or for an extended period of time. I will do my best to keep your treasured pet on their own schedule with feedings, playtime and time outside running around the back yard or if you prefer, walks only. I've made floor dogs into lap dogs, they get extra spoiled with me! You will also get lots of photos & updates when you are away. I just recently changed my setting to small to medium dogs if you are a repeat customer and can not find me on line. I'm also available for dog day care in my home if my calendar is free. After 6 hours, it is considered a full rate instead of the daily rate if you plan to leave your dog with me. Looking forward to hearing from you & I respond back promptly! Thanks. Hope

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was little. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I have experience with larger breeds like Pit Bulls and Cane Corsos as well as smaller dogs like Yorkies and Mini Poodles, and I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to fit each dog’s personality and needs. As a student working part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care seamlessly into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting on weekends and weekdays. I provide care in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their familiar space. I’m attentive, respectful of your home, and make sure to follow your pets’ routines closely so they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

My experience with Robyn was excellent! She is extremely reliable, very good at communicating, and followed all instructions for my puppy, Potato. I received regular photo updates, and she made sure he stayed on his feeding, walking, and potty schedule. She even accommodated a last minute time change, which I really appreciated. I felt confident that he was safe and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, pet sitter !

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Park Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Park Ridge on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 26,286 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Park Ridge. 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 Ridge 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
