About: My name is Ashley, I’m 30 years old, and currently a third-year medical student on track to graduate and become a doctor in two years. Outside of school and studying, I enjoy caring for animals—especially dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs since I was 8 years old and have had three of my own, who now live with my parents. To me, dogs are family, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of health and responsibility—skills I’ve developed both through my medical training and my lifelong experience with dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including seniors, and I’m always attentive to their behavior, comfort, and safety. I treat every dog as if they were my own—with patience, love, and care. As a current medical student, my schedule can be demanding, but I make time for the things that bring me joy—and caring for animals is one of them. I’m available part-time and can walk dogs or provide pet care on a daily basis, especially with some notice in advance. My study schedule is flexible, so I can plan around appointments or daily routines. Pet care is a great way for me to take a break, get outside, and do something meaningful—so I’m always happy to make it part of my week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure to follow all instructions provided—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, or playtime. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and ensure the pet has fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of affection and attention. I also send updates and photos if requested, so clients can feel reassured that their pet is happy and well-cared for in their absence.

“Dana went above and beyond for our kitties! One of ours is medically needy, plus needed a last minute vet visit. She remained flexible and communicated promptly and made it all so much less stressful for us. She certainly loved on both of the kitties while she did her drop-ins, and we’d use her again!”

“Jessemy has walked my 2 high-energy dogs several times now and does a consistently great job! Both dogs are strong leash-pullers and it’s definitely not the easiest of jobs but he’s been willing to help out and takes the time to discuss their equipment, behaviors, and ways to improve the safety and success of walking them. He’s also been available with short notice which was a lifesaver! We are so happy to have found him!”

About: Hi i’m Trinity! I’m 26 currently working as a full time Executive Assistant running a professional haunted house. 🦇 I’m a lover of all things Halloween and when i’m not occupied with work, I love spending time with pets! I don’t have any of my own at the moment, but it’s something I’m trying to save up for! I have become a local favorite for neighbors and friends! I have years of experience with high energy, elderly, and special needs dogs. I’ve had family pets my whole life so I have plenty of experience with basic care as well. Aside from the usual errand runs, I am normally home during the day - so the pets will have minimal alone time! As long as you approve, your pup can be attached to my hip 🖤 My booking calendar is updated frequently, so the current availability should be accurate. Let’s connect and see if it works! To ensure the safety of the pets, I only host one family at a time. At my home, pups are more than welcome to lounge on the furniture. I provide clean bowls, toys, along with sniff pads and frozen treats! We have a back patio that is not fenced in, but there is a lead we can attach to the collar so they can stay within sight. Walks through the neighborhood are always an option as well! ✨Can provide multiple references ✨

About: Dedicated pet caretaker with volunteer experience at animal shelters. My focus is to be patient and offer specialized care for sensitive, shy, senior, and reactive animals. Retirement gives me the wonderful opportunity to focus entirely on my passion for animal care. Daily walking is already a core part of my routine, and I would love to have a furry companion join me for the exercise. In addition to dog care, I am experienced in supporting cats and understanding their unique needs. Because my schedule is highly flexible across both weekdays and weekends, I can easily adapt to whatever specific timing and routine your pet requires. I deeply understand that a pet's environment is their safe space, which is why I strictly respect and follow the specific routines provided by each owner. When entering a pet's home, my priority is to patiently build trust so they naturally view me as a safe, comforting presence in their daily life.

About: I’ve been around and caring for animals for most of my life. Growing up with pets and continuing to have them today has given me a lot of hands-on experience understanding their needs, routines, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, providing fresh water, giving treats, walks and exercise, playtime, litter box and potty breaks, and keeping their spaces clean and comfortable. I’m also comfortable giving pets plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I know some pets need lots of activity and play, while others are happier with a quiet environment, cuddles, and someone nearby. I’m attentive to changes in their behavior and routine and take their individual needs seriously. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. When I care for someone’s pet, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. I’m a part-time nanny with a flexible schedule, so I’m looking to fill my available time by caring for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship. I love animals and enjoy giving them the attention and care they deserve! Although I am unable to watch pets in my home I would be happy to come to you. If you have a safe yard to play in we could hang out there and throw the ball around or just bask in the sun with lots of pets and belly rubs. I love nature as much as I do animals so I would also love to take them on different adventures around the neighborhood as well

About: Being a bunny owner, I take a very patient approach towards each animal I am caring for. I prefer to know their habits and quirks before I begin our journey of knowing each other. I pay very close attention to each animals body language and move forwards based on that. Growing up I was extremely obsessed with my families dogs and cats. My first pet was a grey cockatiel bird that I rescued, shortly after I got my first yellow lab. Ever since, I have been very involved in taking care of many of my family or friends pets while they are away. I have taken care of extremely small puppies, fish, birds, bunnies, and cats, to nervous, and anxious big labs ! I heavily enjoy spending time next to a furry creature and I even have a bunny of my own named Diva. She has been a very long lesson in attention to attitude when it comes to handling an animal. I am more than available during the day or night to take care of any animal, I do not have a current job so I am free during awkward hours. I make sure to follow the directions my clients have left for me, I often ask more information on the personality of the animal so I understand our boundaries !

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Villa Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Villa Park is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $29 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 13,028 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% 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.

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.
