About: I have my own bull mastiff, trained him myself. Sit, stay, pray, paw, lay down, and he doesn’t pull on the leash and taught him how to “go home”. I’ve been around dogs my entire life as I have had a few and my mom has been on rover for 10 years dog sitting. I am a College student with primarily online classes so my schedule is flexible. I am not on campus, and am currently at home in Rolling Meadows. I care for pets in my own home as if they were my own. Very responsible college athlete, just finished my 3rd year of basketball and will graduate with my bachelors in May. Mindful of other peoples property and environments.

About: I have had dogs since I was a young child. Does your dog (or other pet) need TLC when your out or care while you are away? With years of experience I offer in and out of home care for pets of neighbors, family and friends. This includes daily walks, special feedings, medications and extra TLC to keep your pet well cared for. We love them all...the mature but timid rescue to those learning puppies with lots of energy! I work at home so I am available for daily drop ins, week day and weekend care and flexibility. For out-of-home care I offer walking and valuable enrichment time with your pet. My in-home care provides full service including feedings, walks, play and lots of 1 to 1 time. I have a fenced in back yard and lots of indoor play space as well. Since I walk 3+ miles daily your pet can get as short or long outdoor time that fits their needs. We have no pets of our own. Additional love and attention are given to our ‘extended family’ from my adult kids. My son is 19 and greatly appreciates having “the best animals in the world” around to borrow and love on until he finishes.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old! Currently I have a 85 lb lab/pit mix, and a 65 lb mut! I love to play with your dogs by playing with their toys with them, talking them on long walks, giving all the cuddles the want, loading them up with love and pets, and staying on their routine like they would if you were there! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible! Willing to work with all routines and schedules. Also willing to bring them to the dog park! Your fur babies are in great hands with me! I almost always have open availability, just let me know what you need! Available as early as 8 am and as late as you need for the rest of the day. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies of my own to keep them company. I also don’t mind animals being in my vehicle so I can take your fur baby to the dog park. I also love exercise so long walks are perfectly fine with me. Since my schedule is open I can keep up with your fur babies routine.

About: I have had pets my whole life! I have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, frogs, turtles, and small furry critters such as hamsters and rabbits. I Have cared for new born puppies and kittens when the mother was not able and elderly pets that need a little extra love. Pets that are very energetic or relaxed. Pets that are having a hard time medically and need fluids or pain medications. I have cared for wounded animals and healthy ones. I'm available most days during work hours. When your fur baby needs love and care during the day while you are away. I can be there for pets, walks, snacks, medications, a simple check in and more. Every animal is it's own self and all need different care. When pet sitting while friends or family are at work or on trips I always make sure the pet has a good long session of play, affection, walk or forms of exercise, clean and full water and food dishes. Check for any accidents that need cleaned up or litter boxes that need tending. Then always be sure to double check the yard and home locks are secure before leaving.

About: I have grown up around all kinds of animals and had very many of my own, gaining much experience with pet care. In the last few years I have helped my mom with boarding and walking back home in particular. I also helped raise and train a puppy for 2 years so I am familiar with training and safety procedures for dogs of all ages. I also love cats—currently have one of my own—and can navigate other pets in the home if required! I am currently work 3-11:30p so I am available during the mornings and early afternoons to do any care tasks during the week and weekend! I like to be shown the home/property by the pet owner prior to first individual experience with the pet. This enables pet parents to ask any questions and provide any important information about the home or the pet. This will also reduce accidents on the property if I can be made aware of possible exits to watch for pets. These all help to familiarize the animals with me so we all feel safe and can work effectively. I also try to take the pets lead when I’m in their space, more so than when sharing a walk, for everyone’s peace of mind.

About: 🐾 Labor Day bookings are still available! 🐾 We’ve been hugging dogs since we were kids, and we’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and our family enjoy hosting furry friends - we take care of them and our pups play hard with them! Please note: *We cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *We host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - small pups and those who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and we will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is our full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! We spend our days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. Our 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes us a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! We accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; we will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. Our availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but we aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! Our entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! We can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. We don’t require pups to use crates while we’re gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, we’re happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but we can supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. We have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to us! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

About: I’ve had pets most of the time myself. At one point I was the proud owner of two dogs and two cats. Three pets traveled internationally with us when we moved ( can’t leave fam behind). I could check on pets before going to work; during lunch hour, or after work and throughout the evenings. During the weekends as well! I love walking the doggies! I have a fenced in yard. I have reliable transportation to and from your home as well. I have a dog at home who loves to play.

About: Moved from California to Illinois recently! I have 3 dogs back home (my parent’s dogs technically but still my babies 🤣). And with me right now I have 6 cats! (2 are mine, 3 are my boyfriends’, & new kitten addition we rescued!) Back in California, I had one person give me a chance on Rover before I moved & that was so much fun! He was a hyperactive and reactive dog, but was able to take him on a beach trip and go out to lunch in public with zero problem behaviors occurring! Besides Rover, I had many experiences caring for my dogs & cats, my family’s pets, and friends furrbabies! I use to take dogs out to beaches, hikes, and on chill days, just walks around the neighborhoods. I have experience with fear based dogs, hyperactive dogs, puppies, & elders! Currently, I’ve been going to shelters every weekend, spoiling the animals there and learning more about caring for disabled pets! Looking forward to care for lots of furrbabies! *Bonus* I have some experience in farm animal care! I’ve cared for horses, goats, ducks, chickens, and geese. I’m very flexible and open to different needs. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Weekdays I’m unavailable 8:30am to 1:30pm due to work. I’m very flexible on weekdays, as long as it doesn’t interfere with my work schedule. Weekends I’m free all day long! I share the care of my cats at home with my partner, which allows me to be more flexible with caregiving other pets. I like to either have a fun outing or a chill day at home. I love to go on long walks and trials with dogs! For animals that need to be let out for potty, I will take them out as many times requested by parents. I very much love to spoil pets with play, affection, treats, & toys. Any accommodations please reach out (allergies, diet restrictions, behavioral issues, etc.) I’m very flexible & can adjust to any physical and behavioral needs.

About: I have been a proud dog owner my entire life, which has given me a deep, natural understanding of canine behavior and needs. Over the past 5 years, I have channeled that lifelong passion into dedicated pet care, managing everything from structured daily routines to specialized behavioral and medical needs. Raising my own dogs has taught me how to handle multi-dog dynamics, maintain precise feeding schedules, and provide a safe, loving environment. I pride myself on treating every guest pup with the exact same protective care and attention I give my own, ensuring you have total peace of mind. I work a consistent part-time schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until 4:00 PM. This leaves my Tuesdays, Thursdays, and entire weekends completely wide open for dedicated, full-time pet care! On my workdays, I am fully available for evening check-ins, walks, and overnight boarding. Because my routine is highly predictable, I can easily adapt to your dog's specific feeding, walking, and potty schedules to ensure they never miss a beat. Safety and total peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, visiting pups receive active supervision and slow, controlled introductions with my two friendly German Shepherd mixes. In your home, I strictly honor your established routines, keeping feeding times, exercise habits, and home security checks precise so your pet feels completely safe, secure, and comfortable.

About: I’ve had dogs for my entire life. I have been volunteering at a local humane society since the age of seven. I take care of all of my family and friends’ dogs while they are away on vacation. Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.

There's a reason I've trusted Karah time and again with my shy kitty: she's dependable, sends updates and pictures, and is really skilled at matching her care to the needs of my kitty so much so that my shy cat is now very comfortable with her and always in good spirits when I return!

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 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 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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
