“Ann was amazing with Dwight this Summer. He's a very skiddish anxious boy but she did great with him and he looked forward to her visits. She wasn't intimidated because she also has a border collie mix so I thought this was the perfect match! She also gave my kitties some attention during her visits and even my most shy kitty warmed up to her! She watched my pets during a very stressful time in my life and didn't judge me for the disaster my house was in during the moving process and was always very supportive. She's genuinely a very nice and thoughtful person. I'm so lucky we found her!”
“She is always prompt, respectful, & good with Sassy. I very much appreciate her everytime she comes. She also has always been available when I need a booking — evening on sometimes short notice — definitely love having her to depend on in a pinch.”
About: I grew up with animals my whole life. I have a passion for pets of all sizes and species. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I have also volunteered to watch my family's pets in the past. My kids and I really love caring for pets and spend time with them. I will be providing them food, play time and lots of love. I had dogs in the past, currently I have a cat, my family have dogs and I watch over them alot. Especially when they go on vacations. I just grew up loving pets so much.
“Rachel was just great!! She followed all of our pet care requests with no issue and was very responsive! She sent pictures of our cats and gave a reassuring update that they are doing well!! We will totally book her again!”
“Amanda saved the day when we had a sitter back out. She was flexible and took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away by visiting. She sent some of the best photos we have of our dogs. They were well cared for and we will definitely trust Amanda again in the future!”
“First time leaving our kitty & Victoria took wonderful care of him!! She also offered to do some extras while we were gone (mail & garbage) which was just so thoughtful!! So happy that our little guy was taken care of so well - highly recommend & will use again on our next trip :)”
About: I have always grown up with dogs and have always been an animal lover since a little kid!! My experience ranges from 2+ years working as a veterinary assistant, to working at a dog daycare for a little over 2 years, and volunteering at an animal shelter for 4 years! I am comfortable with any dog size and breed as well as cats! All pets are welcome! I currently have two dogs which you can see in my photos, they are my babies and they have brought me so much joy into my life! I hope to bring joy into your dogs life when their paw-rents arent home! I am currently working full time but I do commute to the city twice a week and then WFH the rest of the days so I can be flexible with my schedule. When i'm not at work i'm going on nature walks or playing with my dogs or working out at the gym! I am always aware of any surroundings when taking your pet out on walks and I will always make sure they get a lot of love and attention while their paw-rents are away! I would just like to be informed if your pet is reactive to other animals/people and if there are any other concerns I should be well aware of! Also if they need to use any special collar or e-collar while being out. I am also comfortable with giving your pet medications if they are on any, whether it be oral meds or ointment or eye drops as long as they are cooperative!
About: I've had pets since I was a little girl. I have my own Border Collie Arya and Devon Rex Tyrion at home. I am an attentive and loving pet owner who is familiar with giving medications. I currently work full time as a youth services librarian. My schedule is flexible to drop in on your pet during the week, and I always have flexibility on the weekends. I love to spend time cuddling pets and loving going on walks with them. Both my pets at home love attention. I am familiar with giving pet medications since both of mine take daily meds.
About: I have had dogs in my life since the beginning of time and can’t see myself without one. I love to play and go on walks with them.

“Great with our chocolate lab, willing to work with us and honor our requests. Came on short notice when we needed an extra night. Responded quickly and gave updates with every visit.”
About: Reliable pet sitter & dog walker with a quick pace. I have taken care of dogs my whole life. From my first dog, Nina, to my current, Pickles, I have always been attached to a pup. I’m responsible and kind. In my teens and early twenties I was the neighborhood babysitter, the additional responsibility of a family dog was always welcome. Now that I’m older, I enjoy pet sitting for friends and family anytime they need me. I have a calm demeanor and I practice patience when any obstacle comes my way. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to devote to your pup. I’m an avid reader and all around chill person. I will gladly spend time engaging with your dog, whether that is playing with a toy, going for a walk, or chilling in the backyard & on the couch. While being your pet sitter I will treat your space with respect. I will closely follow the routines you have set for you pets to make your absence as easy as possible.
About: No dog too big or too small, I give out a paw-sitive pet experience. Dog walking done right!!! When you are away, your dogs will play. Pet care involves integrating daily tasks like feeding, playtime, and walks. I’m currently working part time so I would have more than enough time to care for your pets!! Establishing a routine for the pets. Consistency is vital for pets, providing for their basic needs, ensuring their health, and creating a safe and stimulating environment is key!!!

“Carlen was great! She helped ease our minds by doing meet and greets prior to the booking and was very flexible when we needed to modify plans the day before. Happy our girls were in good hands with her!”
About: It’s pretty fitting that I was born and raised in Brookfield and grew up just a few blocks from the zoo, because my household has been a zoo my entire life! I grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, frogs, turtles, fish—you name it. As an adult, I’m the proud fur dad of three large dogs, and I’ve also had plenty of experience watching cats for friends and neighbors. I’m definitely a social butterfly, but at every get-together, my first priority is finding the pets. That’s usually where you’ll find me! I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout most of the day for pet care. As a full-time parent, I’m available during school hours, with a few brief commitments around school drop-off and pickup. I’m also available most evenings and have plenty of flexibility on weekends. This allows me to give your pets plenty of attention and accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can feel secure and receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care. I treat them as if they were my own. I’m also mindful of keeping doors, gates, and other potential escape points secure, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable throughout my stay. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

My goal is to make sure your dog gets a safe, fun, and enjoyable walk every time. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your dog leashed unless you request otherwise in a secure area, provide fresh water after walks, and make sure they return home happy and safe.
About: I love animals, I’m VERY passionate with their care and living standards. Animals comfortably are important to me. I treat all with love and respect. I am only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Due to my working schedule during the week I am unable to work On all days.

Bradlei was amazing with my dogs and cats! I was going on a trip for the weekend, and unfortunately last minute plans made it so my family weren't going to be available to help watch them, but Bradlei did so well with everyone. The house was well maintained and she cleaned up the shreds of stuffed animals my boys scattered around the house. The litter boxes were clean and their water bowl was filled. I would absolutely recommend Bradlei and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Thank you for taking care of my babies!
Hayley was absolutely fantastic! I can’t say enough good things. She was thoughtful, accommodating and professional. She was also very prompt for her all her visits and sent so many great photos. You can tell Hayley loves animals and is a caring soul. I didn’t have to worry about my dog and cat at all because I knew they were being taken care of and loved on. Thank you for the peace of mind Hayley!

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.
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 Romeoville 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 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 .
