“We will definitely book with Jasmine again! She was super communicative, thorough, and flexible. We appreciated the pictures and detailed notes. Our shy cat warmed up quickly to her. Highly recommend!”
“Very communicative and took great care of my cats! I needed a sitter last minute and it was super easy to make a plan and get instructions to her. She made sure they were comfortable and got some love and attention while i was out of town.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own
About: I’ve had dogs (boxers) my entire life, and I have always loved them. I have cared for others’ dogs on multiple occasions, including walking and feeding. I spent a summer between college semesters working at a pet hotel where I took care of dogs of all sizes including cleaning up after them, feeding them and giving them water, playing with them, etc. I’m currently a full time graduate student looking to take care of pets during the open spaces of my week between, after, and before classes. I think pets respond best to patience and love, rather than aggressive behavior. Everyone has their own rules and routines for their dog, which I’m willing to follow.
“I am so jealous of everyone in Bourbonnais who will get to have Kenzie as their pet sitter! She was a lifesaver during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season and I would leave 6 stars if possible! She is great with my anxious kitty and I know she’d be great with yours too!”
About: I have cared for cats most of my life! I grew up in the country and had about 8 outdoor cats that I cared for growing up. Fast forward to today and my home has 2 wonderful cats that I care for! Both are special needs. PopTart has cerebellar hypoplasia and Lady comes from a former abusive home. I am very well versed in taking on any complex situations that may arise due to my experience with my special needs cats. I have loved cats for my whole life. Many cats I have met left a lasting impression on me. I remember all of their names. PopTart, Lady, Kellogg, Waffles, Buttercup, Lucy, Tigger, and the list goes on. I hope to add your cat to the list of cats that have changed my life! I work from home currently so I will be home 24/7. I am almost always able to pause what I am doing and immediately jump to action. I am a homebody so I will be home to care for your cat almost constantly! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. It is quite spacious. Both bedrooms are carpeted! I have two cats. Poptart and Lady. Both are as friendly as can be and were instant companions. Neither have ever shown any signs of aggression. Lady actually has taken on a caretaker role for PopTart and I am sure she would be delighted to care for more. You will be given the option during booking for your cat to stay in my second bedroom or if you would like to allow them to freeroam at night. The second bedroom is my current cats bedroom and it is decked out for your cats comfort. Multiple large cat beds, a couch to sleep on, multiple toys, and I even have a TV set up to play bird videos for your cats playtime! I obviously will be keeping the cats separate at night when I cannot monitor them. If you would prefer your cat to freeroam at night then I will put them in their bedroom at night as usual. If you would prefer your cat to stay in my guest cat room then I will allow the cats to freeroam and close the bedroom door. Your cat will be a constant priority.
“Kylie is amazing!! This is our second time booking with her and we will definitely use her again! She even went an extra visit cause we have some naughty cats which we were so so grateful for!”
“We love that we can count on Grace to take such great care of our dog Bucky. She is responsible, reliable, great with communication, and goes above and beyond to make sure Bucky is taken care of before leaving. Thanks again Grace!”
“Ryan was thorough and attentive to detail! He even wished me a happy Mother’s Day and watered my house plants! We were very pleased to get a handful of photos each day and knew our kitties were in great hands. I’ll book Ryan again for sure.”
About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs from a young age. I also have previously worked at a boarding and grooming facility, and have volunteered at local humane societies. I am currently part-time and have extensive availability. Just make sure to check with me about extended house visits or reoccurring appointments, and I will let you know my schedule ahead of time! I have experience with many different temperaments of pets and can accommodate to whatever the needs of the pet or the owner, just let me know in advance!
“Katie came to our home for the first time today to let our dogs out to potty, get treats and play for a bit. She arrived on time, communicated well with me while she was with them and sent me pics of each of our fur babies. I will definitely call on her again!”
“Kortney is our go to. Always goes well and we even added an extra cat this time who is still separated from the other cat. The other cat has only warmed up to Kortney!! Such a relief to be able to book her!!!”
“China did a great job with our kids while we were gone! They got lots of love and attention, and the dogs got plenty of exercise from walks and playtime. She was also very detailed in her report cards and kept us updated on how they were each day. We would definitely recommend her!”
About: I trained my rescue dog during quarantine. I also have rescued 4 cats. I love animals and go out of my way to meet a dog. I have time after work and on weekends to help care for your furry or not so furry family members. I love animals and this is a joy to do! I have a clean background, I am great with animals. I am reliable and honest and will love your animals the way you love them.
About: I used to take care of my dog Toby years ago before he passed away, and I loved every second of taking care of him by feeding him, walking him, and giving him a bath. I work a part time job and am taking summer classes right now, but I have more than enough time to take care of your furry friends. I’ll give them a lot of pets and cuddles if they want. If not, then I’m fine with just keeping them company and feeding them.
About: Hi! My name is Marissa. I’ve been caring for dogs for 11 years—starting with puppies at age 14. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs needing extra patience, comfort, and medications. I’m reliable, gentle, and treat every dog like family. Whether it’s playful walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, your pup will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me! I also have experience in feeding, handling and caring for bearded dragons. I’m a part-time hairstylist with a flexible schedule! I’m available for overnight care after 4 PM Tuesday–Saturday, and fully open on Sundays and Mondays (my weekend). I can also occasionally fit in midday walks, drop-ins, or medication visits between appointments during the week—just reach out to check! Your pet’s care always comes first. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with no other animals in the home—perfect for pets who need one-on-one attention. I understand how much your furry family member means to you, especially after recently losing my own beloved dog. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and care I gave my own, ensuring they feel safe, secure, and right at home. I also have a pet car seat and stroller holding up to 30lbs to ensure the most comfortably and safety for your fur baby.
“I needed care for my pets while we went out of town. I found Makinzee on Rover, and she took our older dog in for more attentive care, and visited the house once a day to check on our more self reliant animals. She did a great job, and Id definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was 19. I have experience giving medication with my own dogs and worked at a dog boarding place in the past. I promise to love on your dog like they are my own. I work full time Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm. I’m free most weekends. I’m able to come check on a dog before work and after work. I could possibly go on my lunch break around 1 pm if not too far from my house. Right now I’m not offering services in my house because I have an older dog with vision and health issues. She is more of a people loving dog! At the clients house I will make sure your dog gets plenty of affection and play time. I will try my best to keep them on their normal schedule with potty breaks and meal times. Please make sure to tell me all your dogs favorite things!

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.
