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.
“They were incredible in giving our rascally cat medication and helping to clean up after all of the cat hijinks during the stay! Happily rebook every time knowing how well they care for our cats.”
“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!”
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 around dogs my whole life and have spent the last 10+ years caring for family and friends’ pets, from feeding, walking, playing, and just keeping them happy and comfortable. I treat every dog like my own, paying close attention to their routines, quirks, and needs so owners can relax knowing their pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention it deserves. Whether it’s a walk during the day, an overnight stay, or regular visits throughout the week, I can work around your needs. I’m happy to discuss a routine that fits your pet’s specific requirements. I’m comfortable caring for pets in either my home or yours, whatever makes your pet most comfortable. My home has a fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of safe space to run and play outside. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, medication, and routines, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort in either setting.
“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!”
“Wen was extremely caring and conscientious with my cat. She went the extra mile to do make sure all the details for cat sitting were in place beforehand. She made sure my cat got everything he needed, including quality time. Plenty of photos and videos were taken along with diligently using the in-app features to track how my cat was doing. I highly recommend Wen!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends and family still regularly trust me to take care and look after their favorite family members. I have only had big dogs but also am requested to care for a friend's corgi when they are away. I have experience in training my own dogs and working with dogs of all sizes and stages of life. I currently work full-time but work a fairly flexible schedule. I am available early mornings to take your favorite family member on a walk, or in the afternoons if your pup prefers. When I first meet you and your pup I always tend to take extensive notes and ask questions as needed. Ensuring your favorite family members' safety is my utmost priority. It is my goal to ensure that your pup is cared for and spoiled always. Each pup is unique and has their own set of needs and I am willing and able to listen and abide by all of them to ensure that they are healthy and safe for many years to come.
“McKenzie was great in taking care of our 8 month old puppy. She showed up on time and gave thoughtful care and love to our little dog. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Vivian took amazing care of our cat while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing our furry friend was in such capable hands. Vivian followed all of our instructions perfectly, sent daily updates and photos (which we really appreciated!), and it was clear our cat was relaxed and happy in her care. We would 100% book with Vivian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.”
About: Hey! My name is Alyson and I’m ready to get your dog snoozing and waiting for your arrival. Been pet sitting for years!! I grew up around dogs, I had a black lab and after his passing I got two dogs, a Pyrenees and a Chihuahua mix… I’ve worked with it all.😅 I’ll have your dog tired out and snoozing in no time! I am free ALL SUMMER LONG! Anytime, anywhere, I’ll take good care of your fur baby. I can do morning, afternoons, evening, everything! Like I said I’m very open. It’s all your call! Need them to go for a walk? Wanna play ball? Just want to cuddle up? I’m here for it.
About: For the past fifteen years I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve been available to family and friends to walk, feed, and house their pets while they travel. I work full time, but I’m home in the evenings and weekends which leaves plenty of time for play time and long walks with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard with a locked gate and two friendly cats who get along well with dogs. If needed, I can crate your dog and keep the cats in a separate room.
“Our family had to do a quick turnaround trip & needed someone to look after our 2 little dogs. Lisa responded promptly to our request when I reached out to her. Scheduling through the app was so easy & convenient & as a very busy mom I really needed that. Lisa came at the times we requested & made us feel secure in knowing that our dogs were looked after. She sent lots of pics & made sure they went potty. We will definitely have Lisa come again! Highly recommend Rover too. As someone with a super busy schedule this app was a lifesaver.”

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.
Aurora is the best! I recently moved to the area and needed someone to care for my guy and she quickly established herself as someone I can count on and that my cat loves. I’ve already booked her again. I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond with visit reports and cleaning.
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!
Faith took excellent care of Raiken when he needed to be checked on while I was at work for the day. She was a great communicator and paid extra attention to ask about any specific needs for the day. I feel super comfortable leaving my pets in Faith’s care and will definitely have her come again! It’s clear Faith is a huge animal lover and very responsible which is exactly what you want when leaving your animals in someone else’s care. Thank you Faith!
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!
Vivian is the absolute best! She’s been caring for our kitties, Jules and Vinnie, since they were little, and they absolutely adore her. Knowing they get so much love and attention when we’re away gives us complete peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Villa Park on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 12,973 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.
