“I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire childhood and in my adult life that I love but I couldn’t wait to have a dog of my own to take care of and train. I have a rotating 48/96 schedule at work that allows me to have multiple different days off throughout the week. Jason works from home so he is always available to your pets for boarding and doggy day care. We have one very friendly and loving Goldendoodle that would love for other dogs to play with him. He loves going to the dog park so that would be available throughout the day as well. We are also able to crate your dog if necessary.

“Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!”

About: I am a responsible college graduate in the northern suburbs of Chicago that loves spending time with all animals. I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. I have been around various types of pets, ranging from hamsters & guinea pigs to chihuahuas & Great Danes. I grew up with dogs of my own and I have watched family & friends dogs to make some extra side money. I have experience being around dogs of all sizes. I am kind & loving, but firm when required. Dogs generally take to me quite well. I am a responsible adult who takes the obligation to care for your pet very seriously. I will provide your cat(s), dog(s), and other pets you may have the care they will require while you're away right in their own home! I enjoy spending time outside for exercise so your dog will get plenty of walking time with me. I will give your pet plenty of attention & take meticulous care of its needs. I will treat him or her as if it were my own. ❤️ With my service, you will be stress free with being assured of a reliable and responsible service. As a pet owner you are often faced with that dilemma of what to do with your pet(s) when you need to travel away from home or even just the daily things that come with owning a pet. My main goal is to provide that loving & personal care for your pet(s). My service is here to see that your pets are happy campers meaning, they are happy in their own home where they feel safe & secure! I understand that it can be inconvenient to take your pet(s) to a daycare, kennel and or having to leave them with family or friends. This is why I am in this field of business and will provide you with that reliable, responsible and secure pet sitting service; which in turn will not only have your pet(s) feeling safe and secure but also you as well while you are away. All you have to do is let me know what will need to be done in order to make your pet(s) happy and don't worry as I will take care of the rest! To learn more about my services, just contact me. Currently I am looking for a part-time job working with animals. Therefore, I have plenty of time to love on, & play with your pups! Snuggling up together on the couch & watching some classic throwbacks on a rainy day are my favorite go-to. When the sun is shining bright, time outdoors is a must!!! 😊

About: I have experience in cat sitting with clients, some of them had anxious cats that were more on the spicy side. I gained their trust and surprised their owners when they found out how close and cuddly they got with me, that's my quality. I don't expect every cat to open all of their boundaries and I respect doing what they want. 😸 I am known to socialize with the cats outside of just feeding them and cleaning their litterbox. I have had 3 cats of my own, 2 which have been elderly cats who needed medicine and careful care. 💊 I am very good at administering meds and staying consistent. I have had two dogs which both crossed the rainbow bridge from elderly age (a malamute and a newfoundland). I am an equal cat and dog lover! I would love to have a dog again one day. I walk with a cane so I am comfortable walking small dogs. 🐶 I have a very flexible schedule since I work from home. I can stop by any time in the mornings, afternoons, and also early evenings. When going to a client's home, I am very careful when entering and exiting the home when the door opens. I also do a head count of any cats including my own before leaving a house. I know from my own pet that they like to get curious and can suddenly go into a bathroom or closet and can get closed in. Just like my teaching days - taking head counts is important! I also watch the pets as they eat especially if there are multiple in a house so that they don't overeat by sneaking snacks from their pet buddies food.

About: I've grown up with dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had Dalmatians, which probably began my love for large dogs. I currently have two rescue, pitty-mixes. I love the playful energy and am understanding that different dogs have different needs. My dog, Bear, is always getting into something, so I've become pretty good with first-aid! I am a very organized person and have dealt with medications given at particular times. I'd rather be overly cautious than not cautious enough! I have a senior cat that I rescued in 2010. She runs the house and that's ok by me! I love snuggling with dogs and cats alike and giving them all the attention. My education background is a Masters in Secondary Education, with a concentration in Biology, and a bachelor's degree in psychology. I'm totally OK with spending the night with your pets if needed. My husband can watch our crazy boys and cat :) I used to teach middle school science when I lived in Maryland but now I'm a stay-at-home mom in Illinois! Just let me know when you are needed and I'll make it work! I am a very organized, clean and tidy person. I totally understand how much we love our fur babies and will treat them like I'd treat my own. Again, I'd rather be overly cautious than not enough! Our babies can't voice for themselves so it is important to always advocate for them and do what is in their best interest!

About: I love all animals, if you need someone to help I’d be gladly to help out. I have Been pet sitting and walked dogs for almost 9 years now. I have 5 animals of my own, 3 dogs, 2 cats. I am also a kennel attendant to all animals. I do some basic training for dogs, I can do it on walks so they learn basic skills even when there are people out or when dogs are out. I could help with that if needed. If the dog has a higher level of energy we will go for longer walks or runs. We will play with toys for a long period of time to tire him/her out. I work well with any kind of breed. Small, medium or large dogs. If you need the help I’ll be there to assist I’m currently working full time at a daycare but I normally have an hour to hour an half before having to go back to work to let out the dog(s). I will let the family know what time I have let them out and fed them. And normally completely free after work and will stay late to make sure the fur baby has had lots of love and cuddles If needed I will crate the dog, I will send photos of their fur baby to ensure their trust not only with me but to see that their animal is taken care of.

About: For some reason, every dog I've ever met loves me. I absolutely adore dogs. I've been dog sitting for 17 years for friends and family. I've taken care of shy, skittish, hyper, calm, anxious, and every other type of dog personality. I have a calming way about me that dogs love. I'm incredibly trustworthy, detail oriented, careful, loving, and protective. I am willing to help out in any way needed to make your dog as happy as possible. The dog in my profile is my former dog Roxy. I rescued her from a shelter. She was my best friend. No one would choose her for a forever home because she had a lot of social needs. I was able to work with her on these needs and did a lot of training and she became an amazing dog. I can't wait to meet your dog or dogs and give them the care that they need.

About: Hi, I'm Macy! My family and I just recently moved to the Fox Lake area, and it sure is beautiful. I am a dog lover and dog mom of a handsome young beagle named Tom and a high energy Cattle Dog mix named Titan. I'm excited to be a part of a fun adventure in your pups life! I am always thinking about my pup when I'm away, as I'm sure you are when you're at work as well. I'd love to put your mind at ease that they are being cared for when you are away. We love to go on small walks around the neighborhood, but even more we love to explore new trails where there are lots of new smells!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Twin Lakes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Twin Lakes on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $22 per visit. 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 2,050 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Twin Lakes. 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.

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 Twin Lakes 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 .

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.

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 .

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 Twin Lakes with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Twin Lakes. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
