About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, with over 35 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and fish. I currently have a 6 year old furry dog baby of my own, Violet, a Basenji/Terrier mix, so I fully understand the daily needs, routines, and personalities that come with pet ownership. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly cared for neighbors and family members’ dogs and cats - providing feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and always aim to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I work full-time from home, which allows me the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and check-ins. This means your pet will receive consistent, reliable care without long gaps in attention. I’m available during weekdays with flexible daytime scheduling, as well as weekends. I do my best to accommodate routines so your pet’s schedule stays as normal and stress-free as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with respect and follow all instructions closely to ensure your pet stays in a familiar, secure environment. I’m attentive to details like feeding routines, leash safety, and making sure doors and gates are secure at all times. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, adjusting my approach to match their personality. You can expect dependable care, clear communication, and regular updates with photos so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. :)

About: I've spent the last 10 years around puppies and big high energy dogs. I've handled pretty much everything a dog can possibly throw at me. Whatever quirks your dog has, I'm ready for it!!

I'll do my best to be there when you need me! 👍 I'm unable to petsit at my own home, but I'm great at keeping things clean and respecting any boundaries clients may want to set with their home and/or pet!

“Carol is truly the best. She takes wonderful care of my mom’s dog, but what sets her apart is the kindness and patience she shows my elderly mother. Knowing she’s there gives our whole family such peace of mind. We’re grateful to have her.”
“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”
About: I've been caring for animals for over 12 years, starting with my own dog, Lola. Since both of my parents worked, I was often responsible for feeding her, taking her on walks, playing with her, and making sure she was well cared for. That experience taught me responsibility from a young age and helped me develop a genuine love for animals. Since then, I've cared for pets for friends, family, and neighbors, including dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently home for the summer, which means my availability is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Once summer ends, I will be continuing my pilot training and taking online courses through Lewis University. Even then, my schedule will remain flexible, allowing me to continue providing reliable and attentive care for your pets. I have a fenced yard and one dog of my own, Phoebe, who is incredibly friendly and loves being around other dogs. She can play all day long and does a great job helping other dogs feel comfortable in a new environment! If your pet will be staying in my home, I would be more than happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand so they can get to know Phoebe and make sure everyone is a good fit. Your pet's safety and well being are always my top priorities, and I will follow any routines or instructions you provide to help them feel right at home!
About: I've been taking care of neighbors' pets since before I remember. I'm patient and also love to play. Whatever your pets need I'm here to serve! I am currently part time at my farm job. My schedule is relatively flexible. No blackout days or dates in my schedule. Moved to Aurora suburbs but still available for sitting jobs in Chicago I will ask for their typical schedule for walks and eating. I only pet sit in your home to try and keep the dog/ cats better adjusted to your absence. We don't want to have them feeling too anxious!
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Growing up, we mainly had cats and dogs, but in recent years we have expanded to fish, birds, and frogs! At the moment, my family has 2 cats, 2 parakeets, and about a million fish. I started pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors as a kid, and now I try to pet sit whenever I am home from college. I am also the primary care taker of my little home zoo. I’m currently home for the summer, and I have really flexible hours! I have several vacations planned for the summer, so I do not currently have a job lined up, which means more time to play with your pets! I am currently not able to care for your pets in my home as my cats are not very accepting of new animals. At your home, I will work with you to learn what is best for your pets! If you have a fenced in yard, that’s great! If not, no worries.
About: After traveling thousands of miles and leaving my home country, I also had to leave my little pet in the care of the most important person in my life, my mom. My dog has always been my greatest emotional support, and being apart from him inspired me to stay connected to the love, energy, and purity that pets bring into our lives. I want to care for your pets as if they were my own, giving them all the affection, attention, and respect they deserve. I am currently dedicating myself full-time to pet care. This allows me to be 100% available to take care of your pets throughout the week. For now, I’m available 24/7 and fully committed to giving them the attention and care they need. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while in your home. I ensure they’re in a familiar environment, maintaining their routine to reduce any stress. During walks, I always use secure leashes, stay alert to surroundings, and avoid potential hazards. I respect your home, following any specific guidelines you provide, and ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. My goal is to create a trustworthy and safe experience for both you and your furry friend!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Sugar Grove. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Sugar Grove.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sugar Grove. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
