“Highly recommend! Brittany has been beyond wonderful with my Aspen when I've needed drop-in visits. Aspen is a very particular cat with a specific routine and Brittany follows it to a T whenever she cares for her! She's very thorough and provides great updates so that I know my Aspen is well cared for :)”
About: My family has had dogs for over 30 years. The sizes range from Chihuahua to Collie and I have been around dogs as big as Great Danes. I’ve always offered to watch my family and friend's dogs. I would love to have more than 2 dogs so that’s why a service like Rover is perfect for me!! Starting Nov 10th I will be working hybrid. My in office days will be Tuesday-Wednesday. I would ❤️ to do this full time however I don’t have enough weekly clients to do that. I do spend my weekends either in Pearson, WI during camping season or the UP of Michigan by my dad. I would be more than happy to bring your dog(s) with if you approve. I live in a very quiet and peaceful neighbor. If your dog needs to be crated I have many different size crates to accommodate. My yard is finally fenced in, my dream finally came true! Inside I have a full basket of toys for them to play with and am working on getting more outside toys.
“Summer took the time to stop by and meet us and our cats before we left for our trip. We enjoyed the daily updates and photos. She even got our shy cat to open up to her. We would gladly use her services again.”
About: As a 19-year-old sitter, I offer compassionate senior pet care and puppy training experience, ensuring patience, energy, and dedication to keep your pets happy and healthy. Pet care is a joyful part of my daily routine, giving me purpose, structure, and happiness. I love making time for walks, play, and cuddles! I care for pets by following their feeding and exercise routines, providing fresh water, administering medication if needed, offering lots of love, and keeping their environment clean and safe.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats, during all the stages of their lives, for many years. I've had dogs of various breeds with serious health conditions that required nearly constant monitoring, complex medication management, and frequent vet involvement. I have taken care of puppies and kittens, senior dogs and cats, and pets at all stages in between. Providing loving care for pets has been a major focus of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm currently a stay at home dog mom, so pet care pretty much is my routine! And since my husband works from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your furry poopsies too 😊 I have two young adult standard poodles and a mini poodle puppy. They, like all of our dogs before them, live in our house as members of our family. They are crate trained and know basic commands for safety, but when they're not playing outside or on a walk, they can mostly be found lounging on couches or beds (mostly ours, sometimes theirs). I've also been a dedicated sitter for my sister's cats for almost 20 years. I've cared for kittens to seniors in that time, and seen to all their needs.
About: I have raised my own pup since she was 8 weeks old. My heart and passion explode as I allow all of my energy to go towards loving and treating your pup with the care and respect they deserve. Young puppies to senior dogs, I will match the energy they desire. If you have a sick pup, I will be there to care for them and administer any meds they may need. Please reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you and you pup, soon! I am available at almost any time you need. Just ask and I can make it work! Looking forward to playing with your pup and creating that special bond. I am happy to go visit your own home to ensure your pup stays happy and comfortable in their own environment. Fenced yards are a plus!

“I could tell Madisyn is a huge animal lover when she visited prior to caring for my cats. While I was away she gave my diabetic cat his insulin shots twice a day and ensured both were fed and they had plenty of water in their fountain. Thank you Madisyn!”
About: I am responsible, kind and would be extremely protective of your fur-babies while I am with them. It is no problem for me to clean up messes, litter boxes or help with some medications. Play, exercise, feed or cuddle…your furbabies will be well taken care of. I bring with me lots of love and have been trained for many, many years with martial arts of various kinds, including MMA, and a previous competitive deadlifter- so your pet is safe with me for walks and the like. I can drop-in, walk, or just pet-sit! Thank you! Please call on me when needed, and I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies! I cannot be around cigarette, vape or marijuana smoke, so I am not available for homes where this has been, but, could still take your dog for a walk if I am only outside. I offer in your home pet services-(cat or dog- birds, and reptiles, too!) or dog walking. I can also come and clean your yard for a visit fee. :)
About: I have taken in many animals of all kinds throughout the years , Persistent and accountable caretaker. It is important to me to make a difference to all walks of life. Currently I am staying home with my young children, I am available most days of the week! And am flexible to you and your pets wishes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Park Ridge
Brianna L did a day drop in visit with my two dachshunds on a Holiday weekend. We booked very last minute and she responded within minutes. She was very reasonably priced. Both dogs responded to her friendly and attentive manner at our first meet-and-greet. She was very prompt and informative and kept us updated which put us at ease to enjoy our day knowing that our dogs were in good care. If she will have us we will be booking her again soon, and have already referred her to friends and family.
My dogs hit it off with Amanda right away and that's unusual for them. One dog is shy and the other is skeptical to strangers. Neither of them barked or growled at her and after she walked them, they both wanted to be petted. Since they don't get to see strangers often, it can sometime take days for them to be comfortable. I plan on having her watch my best buddies more often!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
