“Margaret is seriously the best! From the second she walked in, Max and Romeo were obsessed with her. Max can be a little anxious at times, but she knew exactly how to approach him, calm and gently. She handled both of them with so much love and confidence. She kept me updated and made everything so easy and stress-free. Dogs love her, and it’s easy to see why. I’m definitely booking her again!”

About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.

About: Animals are a central part of my life and always have been. I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats and more, and I truly treat every animal like my own. I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your dog with someone else, so I focus on providing attentive, loving care you can fully trust. P.S. I have a soft spot for snuggly pups and love long walks. I am currently an online college student with a very light course-load! So I have lots of flexibly and time to care for your pup! I have a fully fenced( with the exception of the driveway entrance- which can be fenced off while your pup plays outside) two acre property with 8ft deer fencing. I have two 60ish pound dogs who are very friendly and low key. Our dogs free roam the house yours can as well or can be in a crate if your prefer. We are pretty active and love to go on long sniffari walks!

“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took exceptional care of my two dogs, Max and Romeo, and they both adored her from the moment she walked in. Her kindness and warmth were immediately evident, and I could see how comfortable my dogs felt around her. Hannah went above and beyond to ensure they were happy, and received plenty of attention and playtime. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals, and her gentle approach made such a positive impact. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and responsible pet sitter. Highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”

It was clear that Lacey felt at ease with him, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I’d absolutely recommend Lorenzo to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog sitter!”

“First time booking with Caleigh, great communication and experience all around. One of our cats is almost by rule very slow to warm up to new people, has spent days under the bed when we have some houseguests, so we were surprised to see Noel out and about getting treats on Caleigh's first visit. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover, professional treat-giver, and former dog mom to my sweet girl, Princess, for 13.5 amazing years. From daily walks to medication routines, I’ve handled it all with love and care. Whether your fur baby needs a snuggle buddy, a midday walk, or someone to keep an eye on them while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and have my own vehicle, so I’m reliable and flexible when it comes to pick-ups, drop-offs, or emergency needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite human! Pet care fits into my routine pretty seamlessly. Honestly, hanging out with animals is one of the best parts of my week! I have a flexible schedule, my own car, and I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk around the block, or a weekend stay, I make the time because I truly love being around animals. After 13.5 years with my own dog, it just feels natural to keep giving that kind of love and care to other pets. I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. I'm also more than happy to pet sit in your own home if that's what you prefer.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently have two big dogs of my own. I also have extensive experience dog sitting, both large and small dogs, for extended periods of time. I'm comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and understand the importance of maintaining their routines. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel loved, safe, and well cared for. As a medical student, I have developed excellent time management skills and maintain a structured schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make sure to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am reliable, organized, and committed to maintaining each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. My top priorities are safety, trust, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions from their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and favorite activities. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime and make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space, maintaining a clean, calm, and secure environment so pets feel safe and cared for while their family is away.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog owner with a sweet senior pup of my own. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pup I care for with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and energy levels, including senior dogs, and I can administer oral medications when needed. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, a potty break, or simply some company and cuddles, I’m happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I currently have flexible weekday and weekend availability for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m also big on communication, so you can expect updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is simple: a happy pup and a pet parent who can relax knowing their dog is in good hands. :) I currently have flexible availability throughout the week and on weekends, which allows me to accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household preferences. I’m attentive to each dog’s comfort level and behavior and always prioritize keeping them safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

You can count on me to give your pet lots of attention—and I’ll even send photo updates so you can see how great they’re doing Currently work a full time job weekdays to provide for my daughter and I. I’m available both Saturday and Sundays after 10:30am that way I can spend time with your fur baby and love/care for them as my own. When I care for pets, whether it’s in my home or a client’s, I can make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their normal routine for meals, walks, and playtime so everything feels familiar to them. I love giving them lots of attention, cuddles, and play!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old (but would have started earlier if I was allowed!). I am extremely experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments as I grew up volunteering to walk and babysit dogs in my neighborhood and for family and friends. I cared extensively for my family dog who faced many health struggles up until he passed away in 2021 at the age of 15. Just over a year ago, I got and trained a new puppy from the age of seven weeks who lives full time with my parents while I am at school. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time for pet care! My schedule varies week to week, but I am extremely flexible and available! I am extremely attentive and accommodating to all needs. Due to my passion for animals and experience caring for dogs specifically, I am more than capable of prioritizing safety and individual needs depending on the environment and service provided.

“From the moment we met Diana my dog and kitten both responded to her with no hesitation- my dog loved her from first meeting. Our trip was extended and she was flexible with all the back and forth changes . Which we really appreciate and was reassuring! Not only did she add on last minute service, she also was ready to adjust payment ( credit) for scheduling changes . I am thankful to have found her, and will happily ask for continued help with Diana!”

Jennifer saved our trip by accepting a last-minute booking to take care of our two rescues (a friendly dog and cat) - and took great care of both of them. We appreciate that she took the time to stay extra time with both of them during her visits. Would highly recommend.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Thornwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Thornwood is $39 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 24,534 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thornwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 with handling special pet needs in Thornwood. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
