“Excellent communication! Susan was very patient and flexible with my cats and their different personalities. She established a routine with them and made sure everyone was fed and happy!”
“I just had Will stay with my dog for the first time and he did great! Mabel is pretty high energy and she was very happy and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely use Will again :)”
“Adam did an awesome job with my pups! Adam has cool vibes, communicates very well, and put my mind and heart at ease with my fur bumpkins. Even with a Reno project going on, Adam came through and assisted. Looking forward to the next time Adam gets to work with my trio!”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs! I've spent almost 3 years at a doggy daycare, where I'm actively learning how to read dog body language, keep group and 1-on-1 time safe, and handle feeding routines. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with a variety of personalities including dogs who are reactive or display aggressive behavior. I also have my own reactive dog so I understand firsthand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part-time, but I’m free most Mondays and Wednesdays from the morning through late afternoon. Fridays are usually open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., since I work at 2 p.m. Feel free to ask about other days too, and I can let you know what works for me 😊 I unfortunately can't provide space for your beloved pet as I have a reactive dog and cat. However, I believe that I'm able to make your pet feel comfortable in its own home even if you're gone. I can be playful but also relaxed. I will be able to give your pet plenty of attention when they want it!
“Haley continues to be a great sitter for my pugs and they love having her come spend time with her. I think my boy, Stewie likes her feeding him better than me. Overall, I would recommend her to anyone pet owner!!!”
“Jenny was lovely to work with, accommodating, and was fantastic with her communication. She shared the best photos while we were gone! Our sweet Athena took to her immediately. We feel fortunate to have found her and will definitely be using her in the future. A+ cat sitter!”
“Tyler was very attentive when caring for our dog. We usually hesitant when leaving our dog with someone but Tyler was able to meet us prior to our first appointment and eased our concerns. We know things went well during his visit because his report card showed our dog brought out his toys - that’s a big win in our house! Thank you, Tyler! We will be booking you again soon!”
“Could not rave more about Emily and they do!!! Churro LOVES her time with them and I am so grateful to have such an amazing rover who she loves and trust!!! Thank you thank you!!!”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the extra patience, attention, and gentle care they sometimes need. I'm a proud pet parent to three dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for animals is truly part of my everyday life. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra TLC, medication, playtime, or simply some company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I have pretty flexible availability and would love the opportunity to make sure your furry family members feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like one of my own! I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week and on weekends. I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. I love spending quality time with animals, so your pets will never feel like just another appointment on my calendar. I'll work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet's routine and keeps them happy and comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands. I have three dogs and two cats of my own, and creating a safe, loving environment for animals is second nature to me. I always prioritize your pet's comfort, follow your instructions carefully, and take the time to understand their individual needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and well-being will always come first.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Debbie provided for my Peter! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear she cared about animals. Debbie kept me updated with adorable photos and little notes about my dog’s day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Debbie is also very communicative and responsive to all my questions. I highly recommend Debbie to anyone.”
“Daniel was amazing with my cats. His level of detail before our meeting was so impressive. He closely read their profiles and understood everything about my babies. I will hire Daniel everytime I need a cat sitter.”
About: I’m a registered nicu nurse who now lives in Indianapolis and I would love to meet you and your fur babies!! I have taken care of pets my whole life for my family and neighbors! I have a cat of my own and I would love to help make your life easier! My mom does rover so I help out with the dogs she watches all the time! Since my nursing schedule is flexible, I’m able to devote as much time as your friend needs while I’m not at work! Reach out if you’re interested in any service from dog walks to room and board!!! I am a nurse and only work 3 days a week so on my days off I have the whole day open to care for your pets! I am willing to follow whatever needs you need to feel comfortable and give your pet the best care possible but I would love to just hang out with them / make sure they aren’t lonely and their needs are met while you are away
“Amanda did a great job while I was out of town for a week. She kept me updated and sent me cute pictures. My senior kitty requires lots of care so it was great to know they were in good hands. Thanks again!”
“We are so pleased to add Karissa to our dog sitting team! She truly loves dogs and was wonderful with our shy/reactive dog. She sent photos and notes that helped give us peace of mind while gone. Karissa is dependable and does a great job!”
“Christy was fantastic taking care of my cat! She always sends updates, pictures, and even videos so that I know he’s doing well while I’m away. She did a great job giving him his oral medication. Can’t recommend Christy enough to watch after your cat!”
“Danielle comes twice a week and two times each of those days to take our dogs out. She is conscientious about documenting their time together and making sure they get exercise. Highly recommend.”
“Nina has been just so sweet and Anya just loves her. I loved how she immediately interacted with Anya when she walked in to meet her. She gave Anya all of her attention. She has great communication and love that she is the one taking care of my girl.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ravenswood
We’re so grateful to have Tyler as our dog walker! Our dogs are family, and having someone we trust with their care means so much. We appreciate the time and attention he gives them and the peace of mind his help brings when we can’t be there. Thank you, Tyler, for taking care of our crew—we’re happy to recommend you!
We had such a great experience with her! She played with our dog, gave her lots of love and attention, and sent the cutest photos and updates. It was so nice knowing our dog was in good hands, and we could tell she really cared about her. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her watch our dog again! 😊
Annie took wonderful care of Bucky. Since Bucky was only recently adopted, he was a little insecure and defensive during Annie’s first visit. However, he quickly became much more comfortable with her by the second visit, which really showed how patient and gentle she was with him. One thing that especially impressed me was that Bucky had never shown any interest in toys while he was at the shelter, but by the end of Annie’s visit, she had him happily playing with one. It was heartwarming to see him relax, build confidence, and start showing his playful side. I really appreciate Annie’s kindness, patience, and understanding with a newly adopted dog, and I would definitely trust her to care for Bucky again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ravenswood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,625 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ravenswood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Ravenswood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
