“I booked Brittany to care for my two cats, Olive and Bella, and couldn’t be happier. She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with photos. Olive warmed up quickly, and got plenty of playtime. Bella even came out to say hi. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, I highly recommend Brittany to anyone needing a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Hope was simply amazing. She is very sweet and came over ahead of time to learn the ropes. She wanted to know where my kitties hid so she could find them and get pics for me. She made sure they had food and water and cleaned their litter boxes. I would recommend Hope to anyone at anytime.”

About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.
“This is the second summer in a row that we've booked Hannah to care for our cat while we were away on our extended vacation. We can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave Edison. Her regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that Edison truly enjoyed Hannah's company. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We'll definitely book her again!”

This was our first engagement with Hope after took time to meet our pup, Matilda. In short, Hope was great. Our dog warmed up to Hope immediately, which is always a good sign. She is very punctual, professional, and kind. We already have Hope booked to watch Matilda again, and I would highly recommend her.
Diane has been absolutely wonderful with Bruce! She consistently goes above and beyond, and I feel completely comfortable knowing he is in her care. She pays close attention to him and always lets me know if she notices anything different with his behavior, health, or routine, which I truly appreciate. She is also incredibly flexible and accommodating whenever our schedule changes. Diane is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about Bruce. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their dog!
Hannah was great! She took excellent care of our cats while we were out of town. She was always quick to respond to messages and checked in regularly which really went the extra mile. My wife and I appreciate her taking time out of her days to make sure our boys were fed and well taken care of. We will absolutely be rebooking Hannah and would highly recommend her!
Courtney was very punctual and was flexible to get us care last minute. She was very thoughtful in meeting us and Coco beforehand which made us feel very comfortable that Coco was in good hands. She sent pictures and notes and all went very well. We would have her again for sure. Thx Courtney
Stella is an instant friend with a very caring heart. Took care of my cat like he was her own family member. Stella went above and beyond by playing with him, letting him in the back yard, setting up fun snacks for him, and even bringing a delivery in the house. I highly recommend Stella to give pets the care they need!
Valerie was absolutely amazing with our dog during a very chaotic time for our family. We were in the middle of moving, and with all the stress and changes in the house, our dog had a couple of unexpected issues come up. Valerie handled everything calmly, confidently, and with so much care. She kept us updated, reassured us, and truly went above and beyond. We honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for her!!

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 .

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.
