“Jessica did a fantastic job of caring for our cats while we were away! She was very caring, great at communicating, and reliable. She even had to deal with our escape artist and went above and beyond to make sure he was safe. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Agnes was very thorough and helpful with Hot Chocolate. She was patient with our crabby cat while we were away and gave me updates for every visit. Thank you Agnes!”
“She helped me out of a last minute jam! Spent time with my pup. Was prompt and took good care of my little guy. I would definitely rebook with her. She played with him and gave him lots of needed attention”
“Ann was amazing with Dwight this Summer. He's a very skiddish anxious boy but she did great with him and he looked forward to her visits. She wasn't intimidated because she also has a border collie mix so I thought this was the perfect match! She also gave my kitties some attention during her visits and even my most shy kitty warmed up to her! She watched my pets during a very stressful time in my life and didn't judge me for the disaster my house was in during the moving process and was always very supportive. She's genuinely a very nice and thoughtful person. I'm so lucky we found her!”
“Rebecca was wonderful, she showed up for all of my requested time slots, and gave detailed updates with pictures. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing watching my dogs for three days! From the moment we connected, she was professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved on the entire time. She followed all instructions perfectly and treated them like her own. When I returned, everything was clean, organized, and my pups were calm and content — which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your fur babies, but Lauren exceeded every expectation. I would 100% book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care. Thank you, Lauren! 🐾💛”
“Sam was so amazing with our dogs. We tried her for the first time on Rover and we will definitely use her again. She is knowledgeable, is prompt, on time and communicates very well. Sam took great care of our dogs and we are so happy we found her.”
“Maddie is very responsive, reliable, and accommodating with last-minute requests. She’s great with Ollie and always leaves thoughtful notes and pictures after her visits. We really appreciate her help!”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs since I was a child, along with many other types of animals. I’ve always loved caring for pets and my goal is to some day own an animal farm. You can trust your pet is in good hands, as I have 3 of my own that mean the world to me. My day revolves around pets care, it is definitely my first priority over anything else. Not only is there time to walk, but there is definitely time to play! Animals each need time dedicated to them individually and should feel special. We have a 3 story house, with a beautiful back yard. A cleaning crew keeps our house spotless and free from any pet dangers. You can trust your pet is in good hands when staying with us.
“We all (me and the dogs!) love Jayme so much. The dogs are always so happy to see her and we always know they’re in the best, most loving hands when they’re with her!”
“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.”
“Amanda is great! She is quick to respond to messages, on time for her visits, and overall easy to work with. She followed my instructions beautifully. My puppy really seemed to like her and so did my three cats! I will be hiring her again. Thanks Amanda!”
“Coretta was great in every aspect! She was quick and thorough in her communications. She consistently sent pictures of her visits. And my cat Lewis loved being in her care. I will definitely book with Coretta again!”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. My fountain unfortunately broke during the period she was pet sitting, but she managed a workaround and made sure my cats had everything they needed. Pleasant person to interact with. Highly recommend.”
“Erin is always so wonderful with our greyhound Happy. She is kind and professional. I appreciate that she responds quickly and is often willing to help with short notice. Happy loves having Erin visit and take her for walk, feed her, and give her love and attention. I can confidently recommend Erin.”
“I cannot recommend Zulema enough! They took incredible care of my cats while I was away, and I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such loving, capable hands. I got regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that truly went above and beyond—every message reassured me that my cats were not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. It’s such a gift to find someone who treats your pet like their own. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and all-around amazing cat sitter, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough!”
“Karina did a great job dropping in on our cats, and with short notice. She sent lots of pictures and updates. It was comforting to know our cats were in good hands.”
“Ashley was the first Rover sitter we used, and we are so happy with the service she provided. She gave us detailed notes about each visit. She sent pics of each cat every day, so I knew they were ok. She brought in the mail and took out the garbage. I would definitely hire her again.”

An incredible sitter overall! Checked in consistently and helped my anxious dog feel safe and comfortable even with stormy weather. She was very patient with my shy and nervous dog, sent tons of photos and updates, and went above and beyond to play with and comfort Addy. Would 100% re-book her services and recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and consistent care for their dog!
We hate to leave our Percy home when traveling, but Jayme took such great care of him. This was our first experience on Rover and I hope all caregivers are as kind and professional as Jayme! She guided us through the Rover process and, most importantly, made a real connection with our pup. Great communication and sent lots of pictures.
We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Western Springs on Rover is $16.65 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 12,867 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Western Springs. 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 Western Springs 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 Western Springs. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
