“Mel did an excellent job with our boys. She was always on time and I know the dogs appreciated the attention she gave them. She was also very flexible with a few last minute changes that really helped us out. I would gladly have her watch our dogs anytime!”
About: What sets me apart is my real-life, long-term experience caring for dogs of different breeds and life stages. I currently have a Shiba Inu and previously raised a Bichon Frise who lived to 16, so I understand both high-energy dogs and the extra patience and attention needed for senior pets. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and timely care. I follow routines closely, pay attention to small changes in behavior, and always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I also have experience pet sitting for friends during holidays and am comfortable with walks, overnight stays, and boarding. I’m reliable with communication and will send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. Hi! I’m a caring and responsible pet lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a Shiba Inu and previously raised a Bichon Frise who lived to 16, which gave me experience with both energetic dogs and senior pet care. I also have experience caring for cats and understand the importance of patience, routine, and creating a calm environment that helps pets feel safe and comfortable. Because I’m home most of the day while taking care of my family, I’m able to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet as if they were my own. I have also helped friends with pet sitting during holidays, and I’m comfortable with boarding, overnight stays, and dog walking. I always follow instructions carefully and provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My house has a fully fenced yard and a small grassy area, so pets can safely enjoy outdoor time without any risk of running off. During the day, pets are welcome to relax and spend time outside in the yard, where they can enjoy fresh air and sunshine in a calm and peaceful setting. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety and comfort. Inside the home, pets have a clean and quiet space where they can rest and feel secure. I maintain a calm environment and follow each pet’s routine to help them feel at home while staying with me.
“McKenzie followed directions on taking care of our Golden. She was prompt and very loving. So loving when we got home, we think he was dissapointed it was'nt her :). Thank you for such good care of our furry family.”
“Yerim took great care of our cat during a long trip we had and precisely followed all the notes we left her. She even took care of a few plants we had as well. We are glad to be back home, but we are also looking forward to the next time she can provide wonderful care for our cat again!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for over 40 years. I've cared for my own dogs from playful puppies to their senior years, giving them love, structure and companionship every day. Although I'm new to offering pet care professionally, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family member. I'll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness and attention I'd expect for my own, providing a safe, comfortable and loving home while you're away. As a stay-at-home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day to supervise, provide companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. I'll follow your dog's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away, and I'll treat your dog like a member of our own family.
About: I’ve been caring for my neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats for over 15 years. I’ve also provided house and pet-sitting services, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care for your pets. I keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and other care needs. I also make sure they have a clean, comfortable environment and plenty of attention. Most importantly, I respect each pet’s personality and boundaries, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable in their own home.
About: I’v been around dogs my whole life and have dog sat for many different families for the last 4 years! I love being around dogs and have a lot of experience with many different types of dogs! I’m currently a student at Cal State Fullerton getting my teaching credential. My weekdays are pretty full but I have flexible schedule to work around. I have dog sat some dogs at my house! I have a huge backyard that’s gated! I am available to play and care for dogs at their own homes also.
About: A lot of experience with cats, but also have dog sat for my friends and family many times, some of which are older dogs who need more attention and care. Currently working full time but have a fairly flexible schedule, especially on weekdays, travel is no issue for me and my own cats are pretty independent with a daily routine of food in the morning and 2nd meal in the evening with some extra meds as needed for them. I have an apartment with my 2 cats, both have sensitive stomaches and one has a pancreas issue. I give them both beds as needed, lots of cuddles, pets and playtime everyday both on work days and off days.

“So far so good! We had a very nice meet and greet and I feel so comfortable with Amy taking care of our cat while we are away on vacation. Amy is so pleasant, friendly, and I look forward to seeing her soon! Thank you!”
“I will keep rebooking w Tammy because she’s amazing and my dogs love her. Today’s visits were very last minute, but she was very accommodating and I never have to worry about my pups. Thanks again.”
“We recently had the pleasure of hiring Chloe to take care of our beloved dog, Buttons, during our absence. Chloe was absolutely amazing! During her drop-in visits, she took Buttons for walks and spent quality time with her. Buttons, who can be a bit shy around strangers, immediately took a liking to her. She was gentle, patient, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Chloe was also very communicative, sending us regular updates and photos of Buttons enjoying her walks and playtime. Overall, we would highly recommend Chloe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring individual to look after their pet. She provided excellent service and made us feel confident that Buttons was in good hands. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Wen was fantastic watching Oscar our Westie for a few hours. She was punctual and kept us updated on how our puppy was doing with great pics and video. Highly recommend Wen to take care of your pet.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Vivian provided for our kitties while we were away! She was attentive, loving, and kept us updated with photos and messages that really gave us peace of mind. It was clear our cats were comfortable and happy in her care. Vivian is truly a wonderful pet sitter — reliable, thoughtful, and clearly an animal lover. Highly recommend!”
“Cabe helped us feel reassured the minute he met our cats. He was very sweet with them and exhibited a lot of knowledge around cats’ body language and boundaries. One of our cats can be slow to trust and he completely won her over. He sent regular updates and cute pictures which helped put our minds at ease. We were very happy to have had Cabe watch our cats.”
About: I have been taking care of my family and friends dogs for a couple years now ranging from small energetic pups to large relaxed seniors. I am a full time student, currently looking for a new part-time job, but this just gives me more opportunities to hang with your pups ;) I would be more comfortable to take care of your pup in your home to make sure that they are comfortable in their surroundings and not throw off their routine.
“Katerina was awesome. She was very intelligent with all the great questions she brought on day one of the meet and greet. She was prompt, she understands instructions easily like enter my complex and inputting a code to enter my apartment. She gave me amazing updates on my kitties and sent me some really cute photos. She’s AWESOME!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
We were nervous about leaving our two cats, Smokey and Everest, alone for a month while we traveled, but Brian put our minds at ease from the very first visit. He followed all of our instructions perfectly and always responded quickly to messages. He sent photos every day, and it was so nice watching our cats go from shy to clearly comfortable with him, you could tell they really liked him. Thanks to Brian, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing the cats were in great hands. He was also incredibly flexible, accommodating changes to dates and times on short notice, even mid-trip, and always responded fast. We’re so glad we found someone who was the right fit for our cats, and we’ll definitely be booking him again for future trips.
I had a last minute request for drop-in kitty feeding - with a complicated entry into the house - Shannan accepted the responsibility and went above expectations, she was exceptionally caring to Bella and had zero issues figuring out how to provide service. I have been a Rover sitter myself for 5 years, I can honestly say now I understand the value of asking for help and receiving peace of mind and the effort a sitter gives to care for pets. I HIGHLY recommend Shannan🌸 she is top notch as a Rover sitter!
Went on a river trip with limited internet service and didn't worry about my 2 cats at all while I was gone knowing they were in Andreas care. She fed them, pet them, scooped their litter and sent photos the whole time I was gone. Highly recommend! Thank you Andrea!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Villa Park on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 13,002 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Villa Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Villa Park 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.
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 with handling special pet needs in Villa Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 pet, 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.
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.
