“Avery did great with our Pup! She was very respectful of property and took him on a few extra walls around the neighborhood. We appreciate her taking good care of Decker and will definitely ask her to sit again!”
“Gabrielle did such an amazing job with our anxious attachment kitty! Our cat tends to not eat when we are not there, but Gabrielle's visits made our cat feel calm and supported. All her food was eaten! Our cat showed no signs of sadness or anxiety upon our return. Thank you, Gabrielle!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I enjoy spending quality time with each pet I meet, and I plan to provide the best service for your loved pets. I am currently in nursing school and I have classes at night so I can spend my mornings/afternoons caring for your animals! I am looking forward to seeing your lovely pets! I have experience crating dogs as well as feeding them if necessary. I am ready to learn how ever you care for your dog! I have experience giving medication, crating, and making them feel comfortable!
About: As a devoted dog owner who raised my pup from birth, I understand the love and attention every animal deserves. I know the anxiety that can come with leaving your pet in the care of a stranger, as I experienced my first time using Rover, but I can guarantee my Rover services offer a nurturing and safe environment where your furry friend will receive personalized care, exercise, and plenty of playtime. I have experience with potty training and obedience training as well. I am a part time college student, so I have plenty of free time in my schedule. In my free time, I love taking my dog to the dog park and long strolls around campus. I am available for house sitting, drop ins, walks, and more. I have a very sweet dog who would love to keep yours company if wanted! I also have a spacious house with plenty of room for play. If going to a client’s house, I would love to help feed, walk, and play with your pet. I can also crate your pet if needed. I have plenty experience with accidents and potty training so there’s no need to stress if your pet is not potty trained.
About: Let me meet your pup! I’m a huge human and pet lover. I help people by day working as a CT Tech at Loyola University Medical Center. Now I am looking to help animals by night (and get my dog fix in of course). My boyfriend and I recently moved to Elmhurst and do not have any kids or pets of our own, so I am very flexible and open to walks, drop ins, or extended dog sitting. I’m a very responsible and educated dog owner. My family dog, Baylor, is actually diabetic and requires lots of special care so I have learned a lot! :) I am currently a full time Lead CT Technologist working Monday-Friday 7am-3:30pm. However, I am home by 4pm every day. I am free in the evenings and all day on Saturday and Sunday. I recently moved to Elmhurst and do not have any pets or children of my own, but someday I hope to have many. For now, I would love to meet and care for someone else’s pets and make some extra money to save up for house of my own. :) I live in a condo, but we have plenty of grass and trees our front. I plan to never have someone else’s dog outside without a leash on. I am a big worrier myself and anything can happen in a blink of an eye. In my home, pets can roam wherever and can go on furniture as they please. I treat others pets as I would want mine treated. As for clients home, I tend to follow any rules they might have and leave the place the same I found it.
About: "Dogs chew shoes because it is the last thing they see you put on before you leave." I want to be there so your best friend doesn't have to feel lonely the whole time you are gone. They won't have to think they need to destroy your shoes in order for you to stay home because I can be that person who your dog looks forward to seeing when they can't see you. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, every single one was my best friend. I loved them so much I wanted to have my own. My Nessa has shown me happiness, love, and responsibility. It all has came so naturally to me, I don't want to stop with Nessa. I will treat any dog I meet as my own. I have the energy to keep up with active dogs, and the patience to slow down with calm dogs. All dogs have their own individual needs and desires. I have experience with all big, small, young, and old. I am also experienced in giving oral medication as well as injections. I would love an opportunity to hangout with your dog. If you need a friend get a dog, if your dog needs a friend get me! I work full time 7:30-4:30 M-F. I can take appointments after work and I am also available on the weekends pretty much at any time. I provide safe and reliable care for dogs in their own homes and on walks. I follow each pet’s normal routine, use a secure leash, clean up after them, and send photo updates. In your home I’m careful, respectful, and focused on keeping your dog comfortable and safe. Clear communication and safety are always my priorities.
“Anne did a great job with my cat. I loved the pictures and message on how he was doing!!! Very prompt on her two visits daily as kitty needed medication. Will use Anne again and I highly recommend her!!!”
“Jo’Ell is amazing with our puppy! First and foremost, she is always on time and always communicates with us about our puppy. She provides several photos and engages with our puppy. The best is that she brings over different toys and puzzles to help our puppy learn and stimulate their brain. I could not ask for a better person to help us with our dog. Thank you so much.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life from big dogs to fluffy cats. I currently have two kitties who are my world, but always grew up with dogs! I have a ton of experience caring for my own pets- dog walking, feeding, cleaning, etc. Animals have my heart and I will love your babies like my own! I work a typical M-F 8-4 job, but am more than happy to make visits before and after work. Weekends are wide open! I am detail oriented when it comes to pet care. I will provide quality time with your pet in addition to ensuring a clean and safe environment!
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pups while Sarah checked in on them. She did a great job! I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent. Zuni and Millie are looking forward to the next visit!”
About: I was a veterinary technician for 3.5 years. I’ve had pets all my life. I’ve raised 3 puppies on my own. I have experience with medicated dogs and cats senior dogs and cats. I have wound care experience as well. I am able to care for all types of animals no problem! I have open availability. I have plenty of time during the day and night to play with your fur babies! I also have a big fenced yard and can take care of them over night as well! We will go for plenty of walks, have outside time, if the client is comfortable we can always go to parks too! I love to hike so forest preserves would be awesome too!
“After having to have an emergency scheduling Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, she was quick to reply, communicative, respectful and very kind. She gave us constant updates on our cat Freyja along with photos. We would happily use her services again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have two long haired miniature dachshunds that I’ve raised since they were puppies. If you know dachshunds, you know how stubborn they can be… which means I’ve mastered patience, consistency, and lots of love for all pups. I’m trusted by friends and family to walk, feed, and care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every pup like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella are required vaccinations. Please provide proof of current vaccinations and/or the contact information and authorization to speak to your vet if needed. I work full time at a school and typically finish my day around 3pm, which allows me to offer dog walks and drop in visits after work during the week. For house sitting, my availability is primarily during holidays and school breaks when I’m off work and have more flexibility to spend time with your pets! While my availability is more limited during the school year, I’m always happy to chat about your needs and see if we can find something that works with my schedule. In your home: I love getting to know pets before caring for them, so I always welcome a meet and greet beforehand! This gives us a chance to get comfortable with one another and allows me to learn about their daily routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions. My goal is to keep your pets as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away, all while maintaining the routines they’re used to. For walks and drop ins: I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for during our time together. Whether that’s a nice walk, potty break, playtime, feeding, or some extra cuddles, I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality and needs. As a dog mom of two myself, I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give my own! In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my apartment. All outdoor time is done on a secure leash, and we also have access to a nearby dog park if your pup is comfortable going for extra exercise and playtime. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer to schedule a meet and greet before boarding so our pets can be properly introduced and feel comfortable with one another. In your home, I love to meet pets beforehand so they can become comfortable with me prior to care. I take time to learn their routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent and reliable care while you’re away. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure your pet feels safe and happy during our time together. Whether that’s a structured walk, potty break, playtime, or extra cuddles, I tailor each visit to your pet’s personality and routine.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
I have a 6 month old puppy and older pup who I was nervous about leaving alone. Amberley put me at ease from our meet and greet and she’s been so great with our dogs! She sends several pictures and sweet notes about how their drop ins are and I know they are in great hands!
Claudia has been great with Ramsey, our senior Tamaskan with hind leg arthritis. She was patient and gentle, and has done a wonderful job getting him to warm up to her. She's a great communicator, very thorough, and prompt! I highly recommend Claudia's services!
I would highly recommend Jamie! She recently completed a drop in visit for our dog and cat- during the meet and greet my dog was completely OBSESSED with her and based on the updates I received, his love for Jamie was still strong! Jamie followed instructions and left our home in excellent condition. I would gladly use her services again ☺️
Jennifer is such a kind soul! She goes above and beyond for your pup and will do everything she can to make sure they are comfortable. My pup is pretty scared of storms and Jennifer carried him down to the basement to make him feel comfortable in his safe space. She’d also let me know of any behavioral concerns like increased anxiety or if my pup was having an off day. I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer. 🙂 I would 110% recommend her to folks looking for peace of mind that your pet will be well cared for and in good hands. Thank you for everything that you do Jennifer!!
Macey was amazing! She took very good care of my new puppy goose and followed all instructions! She send great overviews and photos of their time together that made me feel comfortable leaving him with her. Before the drop ins even took place, Macey made sure to make time to meet goose and us which I greatly appreciated!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Villa Park is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $34 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 November 2026, there are 12,414 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Villa Park. 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 Villa Park 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 Villa Park 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 Villa Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
