About: I grew up with pets my entire life and have always loved having a furry companion around! I am excited to take care of your best friend while you are away! I currently have two dogs of my own, and have been working on training my new puppy, so I would be happy to continue a training program with your dog while you are away. I enjoy taking the dogs for walks and hikes near Denver, especially around red rocks! I am self employed and have a very flexible schedule to fit all of your pets needs! I can be available days nights and weekends. I have a large fenced yard and a doggy door for my two fur babies. We kennel our puppy when we are away but our senior dog is allowed to do as he wishes. I feel that it is important to always follow all instructions given by the owner as all pets are unique.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! New to rover but have done multiple overnights with dogs & love walks! I have two doggies of my own, and I babysit frequently so I am very comfortable being around different dogs. I’m currently a graduate school student! I attend classes Mondays & Wednesdays until 2pm and have online courses Thursdays 8-10am. Aside from that I babysit which is very flexible so I have lots of time to walk any pups in need :) I love going for walks and being active! I have a large golden doodle and a small shih tzu and have cared for dogs of sizes in between, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes!
About: Hello! I have been very lucky to grow up and still currently be surrounded by animals of all kinds.Dogs and cats have always had a special place in my heart. Not only do I live with animals, I have also worked with cats, dogs, and small animals at 2 local shelters. I’m excited to work together! :) I currently am available 6 days a week, excluding Tuesdays. Any other day of the week, I can be there for you and your furry friends needs. I have the knowledge to safely crate, walk, feed, and medicate your cat/dog friend. And promise to give them the care, time, and love requested.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was about 10 years old. I have good experience with giving oral medications and giving support to dogs with anxiety or anxiousness. Great with walking dogs with all different sizes and energy levels. I also have great knowledge when it comes to cleaning care for puppies or seniors rather that be in cages or any where within the house. I support rescue services for pets as I have adopted a dog from Tails myself. Lastly I am great at managing multiple dogs at once as I currently have three dogs with my family. I am currently take a CNA (Certified Nurse Assistant) class as I am looking to become a nurse in my future. I starting college this year so I’m looking to find a job during this summer. With having CNA class I am available most weekdays and for sure weekends. I have class Tuesdays and Wednesdays being available after 12:30 and have Friday Clinicals at a Nursing home in DeKalb leaving that day majority full. While in my own home or a clients home I always make sure the pet feels like their in a comfortable and safe environment with surroundings and with me. A pets health mentally and physically is really important to me as I make sure they get the right exercise, rest, attention and love they of course deserve. Keeping them with their daily routines and schedule is also very necessary to me when it comes to feedings and water, play inside and outside, rest and walks which are my favorite. Keeping my clients home clean and protected is also something very important to me as it helps the dog be familiar in their safe and comfortable space and also help the owner gain trust and rely on me as much as possible! Updates are a really big thing I offer service to, I am a really great communicator and responsible person so letting them know how their pet is doing and being cared for is very critical.

“Cora took an amazing care of our cat. From start to finish, she was professional and incredibly attentive. We received regular updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind since it was the first time we left our cat for five days. Our cat was well cared and comfortable. We highly recommend Cora to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. We’ll be booking with her again!”
“Haley was great with all my cats for their drop in visits. She took care of their litter boxes, gave them wet food and attention. She did need a reminder on the night of the last drop in visit booked, but was responsive and apologetic for not stopping by yet that day. She immediately headed over too.”

“Jill did such a fantastic job watching our two kitties and really went above and beyond. She put up with a lot of chaos on our end in the days leading up to the first sitting service (Sadly our dog passed away unexpectedly, then the impending bad weather forced us to delay travel and change dates). She was flexible and understanding. We also came home to a cleaner house. Seriously...Jill tidied up and took out the kitchen garbage! And took our bins to the curb. That was so kind of her, especially since things were tough before our travel with the passing of our dog. We will definitely work with Jill again in the future.”

Throughout my life I have gotten two more dogs and many more animals that I have loved taking care of.

Kamron was great! My husband and I were away overnight for a friend's wedding and so we had her do check-ins every few hours. She sent pictures and was great with communicating. She was also great during the meet-n-greet with our dog, which is usually when he goes the most berzerk with meeting a new person! I would definitely book her again.
We’ve used Mikayla before and were happy to book her again for drop-in visits — and she did a wonderful job, once again. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with our dogs. Mikayla is easy to work with and consistently follows instructions, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We truly appreciate her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
Thank you so much Jetta! I enjoyed all the pics and the check in details for the visits! The pups really enjoyed having you and I’m grateful to have had someone I could trust stop in to take care of my pups while I was away during the day!!!! I would definitely book you again in the future!

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 Sycamore 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.
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 Sycamore 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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sycamore with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
