“She did a great job taking care of my Fur baby. I appreciate her picking up the dog poop in my yard too! (I didn’t ask her to). Neighbors reported that Finn looked like he enjoyed playing with her! She came when she was supposed to and gave reports. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have taken care of pups of all ages my whole life, as I have had my own as well as done overnights with multiples! I am in college, and have a part time job on weekdays, but I have no commitments after 5:30 and on weekends, and I can take care of your fur babies! I can easily crate dogs, and I have cats that love to run out so I am equipped to find the sneaky cats that want to run free
“Madison, Thank you for taking good care of Maggie for us. We appreciate your prompt service and attention to detail. And Maggie appreciated the attention and time spent with her. Best Regards, Kevin and Teresa”
“This is our second time having Katie watch our cats. I am a nervous wreck about leaving them but both times we have used Katie she has made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I have one cat who has been through cancer treatment so I particularly worry about him but Katie made me feel confident that she would be able to recognize if he needed anything and sent me pictures and updates every day. We will absolutely be calling Katie for our next trip.”
About: Asst in training service dogs, have had dogs for the past 25 years. I have also had cats but do not have one currently. I watch my neighbors' animals, to include a bunny and other small animals as well. I currently work from home most days and am able to work from anywhere with my laptop if I am needed to stay at your home. This also gives me the availability to leave for breaks to take your animal out for small walks or potty breaks during the day. I have always had 3 dogs at a time, but I just lost my last fur baby in January 2026 so we just got a puppy in April as I just can’t be without a fur baby. I care for my animals as family, not pets, they sleep with me and my husband and go with us when we are able to take them.I provide more of a motherly service and will care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own. This includes playing and snuggling.
“Kaylyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and ensured Chloe was enjoying her stay while getting in a good mix of cuddles and exercise. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your fur babies!”
“Ashely came by to do a meet and greet a few days before taking care of Kali which was so helpful for me to show her around the house. She followed all of my instructions and Kali was very happy with her! Will definitely be going back to her as needed☺️🥰”
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was a child, I grew up around them. I always make sure they're fed and have enough water throughout the day, walking them, playing with them and overall spending time with them. I love all animals and just want them to feel happy in my care. I’m currently enrolled at UIC, and my first semester has a lighter class schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide pet care. I’m available on weekends and Friday afternoons, with some additional weekday afternoon availability depending on my class schedule. I’m flexible and will work with you to find a time that works best for you and your pet. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions from their owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and care.
“Jillian was absolutely incredible when watching my 2 cats. They were both extremely comfortable around her, and she made my boys feel safe. When one of them puked a few times during visits, she cleaned it up and was very communicative. For my first experience letting someone besides friends watch my cats, 10/10, highly recommend Jillian!!”
“Sarah was great to my 2 dogs. One dog is very senior, and the other has health conditions. Sarah made sure she understood each dog’s needs, and asked questions when needed. I would highly recommend Sarah, and will be using her services again in the future.”

“I will definitely be using Sylvie for my future needs! Everything went smooth from meet and greet up until the final day. In my past there he always been some issue with dog sitters. Sylvie was quick to respond to request. The next day she came for a meet and greet which my dogs took well to her! I always get nervous with my 150+ lb mastiff but she had no fear of her! Sylvie sent many pictures during each visit to show me they were in good hands! She also went above and beyond for my older dog who sometimes can't hold her potty on the blanket! I HIGHLY recommend Sylvie for your pet needs!!!!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have a 7 year old German Shepherd and 4 year old black lab mix. I love all animals and spending time with them. I have experience with taking care of diabetic cats who received insulin twice a day. I work full time from home so I have flexibility throughout the day. I am about to become an empty nester now that my youngest will be heading off to college in August. I’ve found that I have a lot of free time. I am available to come to your house as often as needed to care for your fur babies. I can take your dog for walks or just snuggle with your cat, whatever is needed.
About: I will love your pets like they were my own! I have always had animals from multiple sized dogs, to cats, to hamsters and birds. My friends regularly reach out to have their pets stay with me while they are on vacation. I have always had animals and actually purchased my home for the fenced in yard so they could be free and play! I catch up with all the dogs in the neighborhood as they walk by. I know all the dogs names, it’s the peoples names I struggle with. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your fur baby to run & play. I have always had multiple dogs and a cat and miss them every day.
“Kisha was very attentive and caring for my teenage cat and actively updated me while I was out which was appreciated! She was kind enough to care for my cat on very short notice and was very easy to work with! My cat is usually very jumpy around people, but upon meeting Kisha he was instantly drawn to her. She also gave great advice when I asked about recommendations to make him more comfortable.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and I’ve also fostered dogs in the past. Family and friends have relied on me to care for all kinds of dogs, including senior dogs with medication needs and larger, high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m attentive, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently home from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and playtime they need! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions their owners provide. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m respectful of each client’s home and always make sure doors are securely closed, pets are supervised, and everything is left clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.

Kaylyn took wonderful care of our two Yorkies, Sasha and Malia, while we were away on a short vacation. She was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. The girls absolutely loved her, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We will definitely be booking Kaylyn again!
Katie was wonderful. She took great care of our cat Kali! She spent time making sure she felt loved. She provided her with food, water, treats, grooming and even her twice a day asthma inhaler treatments. I highly recommend Katie and will use her again without hesitation.
Angela is the most awesome pet sitter. She was absolutely amazing. Made me feel so comfortable that my pets were taken care of. I will hire her again in a minute. I'm hooked. I can't even describe how wonderful she's been. Angela went above and beyond to help take care of my pets. Love, love, love her.
Johanna was excellent in providing care for our dog over the weekend. She made all appointments on time, followed all instructions and gave us appropriate updates throughout our time away. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for proper pet care.
Lexi did a great job checking on my dog. She was prompt to both the meet and greet and the doggy check-in. She was very friendly, and I could tell she loved animals. The “Rover Card” was a nice perk. It was great seeing my dog having fun and also receiving a summary of the visit. Lexi was great, and I would definitely book her again.
Jordan was wonderful! I felt very comfortable leaving our pup Leia in her care. She was very flexible and easy going, even working with me when we had to delay our trip by a day. We received regular updates and pictures while away and we came home to Leia very content. Thank you Jordan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Shorewood on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,913 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shorewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shorewood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Shorewood. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
