“Michelle is fantastic! She communicates well, always lets me know when she arrives and sends the cutest pictures. She is super dependable and trustworthy. We also have an escape artist cat, and she’s always super careful to not let him get out. She truly goes above and beyond. I’m so glad that we’ve been able to book her on multiple occasions!! Maverick is happy too!”
“Megan is great, her updates are very thorough and I know Potter is in good hands with her! Megan is accommodating and responsive and it is obvious she not only enjoys working with animals but is also quite knowledgeable regarding their care. Thank you, Megan!”
About: I've been pet sitting since I was a kid! I know first hand how stressful it can be to leave your pet- l'm here to ease your mind that they will be treated with care and love and their safety and comfort is my number one priority! I have experience will all sizes and ages, and from pets that are super friendly and high energy, to pets that are anxious and shy. I am patient and have an energy that animals safe around. I am currently living at home working towards a masters degree in school social work from ISU. I attend my internship three days a week and nanny for the other two so I have lots of weekend availability! I will follow all rules and guidelines you provide me to ensure safety and comfort at every visit. I'm familiar with all harness types, and follow instructions very well. If it makes you feel more comfortable to leave a long list, I will follow every bullet exactly!
“This is my second time booking Stephanie while going on vacation! She is so amazing! She even goes out of her way to help me communicate with my grandma when I can’t get a hold of her. I know Thor loved her so much and can’t wait to see her again in the future! I highly recommend Stephanie”
About: Growing up surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes, I have always loved our pets! I have been caring for mainly dogs 10+ years, and have cared for dogs of all ages. Typically when caring for dogs I will maintain they're regular feeding schedule while walking them on longer walks at least twice daily. I can get out and exercise with high energy dogs, or I can keep older dogs or smaller dogs company. I have cared for puppies still needing to be house broken and older dogs requiring medication. Over quarantine my family started fostering a cat as well who we fell in love with and now rules our household. Cat sitting is also a newer part time for me but I enjoy every second of it. I have cared for households containing 1 or up to 7 cats. Maintaining a dogs/cats schedule is important so if necessary I can follow specific instructions to make your furry friend as happy as can be! I am currently a work from home employee who has a very flexible schedule and can be of assistance at just about any time of day. I care for pets by meeting and following your fur baby’s needs and your instructions. I always lead with love and attention, if the pet is interested in such!
About: Pets are family too, they deserve just as much love, care, and attention. I welcome and love all dog breeds, cats, and other fur babies. I work remotely, with a flexible schedule and usually free on the weekends - so I can be pretty accomdating to fit your fur babies needs and make sure they get plently of attention and care. I will respect the needs of the pet owners and their homes and do my best to make sure the pets feel comofrtable and safe, while also putting the owners mind at ease. I can host cats, but not dogs as I live in a smaller space but I am more than open to dog walking, dog sitting and overnights at the clients home. I understand leaving your pet can be stressful, so I want to provide the best experience possible!
“Melanie was a lifesaver. She sent pictures and updates and was very communicative, leaving me feeling completely comfortable and knowing that my pups were well taken care of.”
“Mindi is phenomenal. She's conscientious, timely, and updates frequently through rover. If anything in her schedule changes she communicates it early so you aren't taken by surprise. Reliable, friendly, and genuinely enjoys dogs. We will absolutely use her againif the need arises.”
About: Animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember, but English Bulldogs hold a special place in my heart. I trained and raised my own English Bulldog for 9 years, who grew into a special needs senior: blind in his later years and on multiple daily medications. Loving him through every stage taught me what bulldog parents already know: these dogs are one of a kind, and they need a sitter who understands them. Bulldogs aren't just low-maintenance couch potatoes, and I know the details that make the difference. I understand their stubbornness, heat sensitivities, and breathing issues. I stay on top of daily wrinkle cleaning and regular ear checks to prevent irritation and infections, and I'm happy to apply nose butter and follow your dog's grooming routine if needed. I also have the patience to work with a stubborn bulldog mood. Managing multiple daily medications and caring for a blind senior dog taught me to be organized, gentle, and attentive to any changes in routine, appetite, or behavior. My experience goes well beyond loving animals. I've worked at both a pet store and a local animal hospital, where I cared for a variety of animals, cleaned enclosures and kennels, maintained a sanitary environment, tracked food intake and behavior, and administered medications. Working alongside veterinary teams taught me to notice small changes and flag concerns early, so every animal in my care is safe, comfortable, and closely monitored. Don't have a bulldog? Don't worry! I've had years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds, plus cats, small animals, aquatic pets, and more, and I've provided trusted in-home pet care for neighbors and family members. Whether your pup is a personable bulldog like mine, or any other beloved companion, under my care they won't just be looked after. They'll be understood, loved, and treated like family. A recent Elmhurst University graduate, I currently have a flexible, full-time availability to dedicate to pet care, meaning your pets get my full attention and availability any day of the week. When I visit your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and as stress-free as possible in their own environment. I know that unfamiliar faces can be an adjustment for some animals, so I always take a calm, patient approach and let your pet set the pace when it comes to warming up. During drop-ins, I'll follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, medications, behavioral notes, and any specific preferences you've set for your pet. I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want shown in my own. Everything will be left exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I keep a close eye on body language and surroundings at all times, keeping walks safe and enjoyable. I'm experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, and I'll always make sure your pup is secure before heading out. I'm also happy to provide updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing, because peace of mind for you is just as important as good care for them!
“Morgan is reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond to ensure Peanut is happy and well-exercised. She always provides detailed updates, which gives me such peace of mind when I’m busy with work or away. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and her professionalism and warmth make her a standout. Thanks Morgan!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Westmont
Destiny was amazing and my pup absolutely loves her. It takes a lot for me to trust someone with my dog, let alone coming in my home but she is absolutely wonderful. Constant updates when she is coming and sending me pictures while she is walking him are the best. Don’t hesitate to trust her with your loved ones!
I think my dog, Toby, likes Michelle more than me these days! But seriously. Michelle has been an outstanding caregiver to my German Shepherd. Toby is 10, stubborn, and disabled, so finding someone I can trust is key. Having to be in the office a few days a week has added a lot of new stress lately. At least I know Toby's in good hands when I'm not home. Thank Michelle for all that you do!
Ana has always done an amazing job caring for my fur baby, Dakota. I’ve worked with her locally many times and was so excited to see her join Rover to continue growing her dog‑sitting career. Ana truly cares about the animals she works with and always takes the time to listen and understand what each pet needs. Dakota is not an easy dog to care for, between her cancer‑related medical needs and her reactive fear of other dogs and children, she can be complicated to leave in someone else’s care. Ana has always risen to these challenges and made us feel completely at ease trusting Dakota with her. This year, we went on a two‑week vacation to Italy, and Ana stayed in our home to care for Dakota the entire time. Not a single walk or medication was missed, and Dakota was loved and cared for as if she were Ana's own pet. I will always trust Ana with Dakota’s care and would confidently trust her with any pets we have in the future. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Westmont. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Westmont after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
