“Dawn was absolutely amazing. She did drop in visits for my 2 cats when we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and made sure to play with the cats as well. Will definitely be using Dawn again”
“We had an amazing experience with Amberley. She took great care of our cat and went beyond the basics to ensure he got some exercise and felt loved while we were out of town for a few days. I highly recommend her!”
About: **For the house sitting part of the profile I cannot sleepover at the clients house due to health reasons but I can take the dog(s) out for breaks at anytime.** We have a rescue dog, who was untrained and very high anxiety when we rescued him. Now, he is a fun loving, good listening boy! I probably baby him too much, so if you are looking for someone to be uber strict, that's probably not us. We just want to give love when you're not able to. I am in school part time and I am only looking to take care of a few dogs, so I can work the schedules that they need. I have two dogs that I feed, bathe and train. I like to play with them and I can tell when she's about to get the "zoomies'" , so I play extra hard with her then. Of course I like to snuggle and pet any puppy!
“Janet was awesome. My dogs loved her. This is the first time leaving them with someone other than myself and my adult daughter. She was so patient with them as they had many accidents and were very out of sorts. She was dependable and kind. Highly recommended!”
“Thank you for taking great care of Mac! I really appreciated the detailed pictures and notes that you left, I could tell that he was happy and relaxed from his walk when I got home from work. Amazing service!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, enjoys relaxing and cuddling, or needs a little extra time to feel comfortable around someone new, I will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet isn’t just another booking to me — they’re family, and I’ll treat them that way. ❤️ I currently work part-time on weekends, which allows me to have a flexible schedule throughout the rest of the week. I’m available most weekdays and do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and their owner’s needs. I understand how important is for cats and dogs, so I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure I can commit to the care your cat and pups needs before accepting a booking.

Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers cuddles and a quiet space, I’ll respect their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your beloved companion is in caring hands while you’re away.

About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.
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 !

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Villa Park
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!
Bethany took great care of our cat while we were on vacation and was sure to send us multiple cute photos each day. We also appreciated that Bethany had clear communication when she had any questions or her schedule needed to change. Overall we felt like our cat was well cared for and would not hesitate to work with Bethany again in the future.
We had just gotten a new puppy and I had to be gone a large part of the day due to work. Alex responded right away and spent an hour with the dog playing and trying to get him to go for a walk. I got a progress report and details on everything that happened within the hour, along with some great pictures too. So grateful for the help!
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 ☺️
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!

- 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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
