“Sarah did a fantastic job with my two cats. We did 30 minute drop in visits and she was on-time and made sure to take the time to not just check food and water but to give the cats some playtime and attention. One of my cats required extra care and she handled that no problem. Would absolutely book with Sarah again!”
“Melissa is wonderful! She’s so good with our dogs and is very conscientious. One of our dogs takes a while to warm up to new people, but Melissa helped her feel more comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Melissa!”
“Joan has watched my cat for a few years now and she’s absolutely wonderful. She puts so much care into not just feeding and scooping litter but also playing with Tessa. I highly, highly recommend her services for any anxious pet owners! 😊”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and have had dogs of my own since I was 4. I have experience with dog socialization including working with local humane societies and volunteering for 4 Paws 4 Ability, where I trained service dogs in training. I have experience with many breeds of all ages and am comfortable handling medication if needed. I will have plenty of time to take care of pups this summer as I just graduated college and am waiting to find employment! I am available to stop in to let your pup out or take them for a walk when you need if I’m in town! My top priority is making sure your dog or cat gets the love and care they need. As a pet owner, I know you expect someone who is qualified, reliable, and will put your babies first!
“Joseph was an amazing dog sitter! He was kind, reliable, and took great care of my dog during the visit. Communication was excellent, and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Ashley was attentive and followed all of my instructions. She went above and beyond trying to befriend my shy guy cat lol. I'm definitely using her in the future for Gary!”
“Rachel was amazing. She stayed with our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She gave them lots of attention and care and also sent us lots of updates and pictures - which is greatly appreciated! She is quick to respond to questions and chats. We will absolutely rebook in the future. Thank you Rachel!”

“Beth was great! She made sure our cat was attended to. She even went above and beyond on some of the fringe requirements for our cat. I look forward to booking her again on our next trip.”
About: We lost our cocker spaniel of 13 years about 2 years ago so I love to take care of dogs now that we don’t have a dog to pamper. We care for one dog at a time unless two dogs are siblings or good friends then that’s OK. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park nearby or just snuggle on the couch and chill with them. I realize how important your baby is to you and will give them love, companionship and special care. We love having a dog around. I’m retired and an empty nester so I am flexible and around all the time. I love to walk around Lake Ellyn Park and Glenbard West HS just down my street. We also like to sit on the front porch in the shade (gated) and watch the world go by. It’s a dead end street; so it’s very relaxed & chill. We are a few blocks from Main Street and town. We love hanging out in the back yard or the porch with our dog guests and take frequent walks.
“We had fantastic experience with Rachel and would highly recommend her! Our cat Mia was very comfortable and happy thanks to the loving attention she received . Rachel provided very detailed notes with photos and videos every day and went above and beyond to make sure our kitty was a very happy girl while we were away. We felt so much better knowing she was in such a good hands and returned to a very content cat. THANK YOU SO MUCH !”
“Aga was really wonderful with my cat. He is shy and doesn't like to come out when strangers are there. Aga sent pictures and every time he was "out and about." Everything was perfectly in order when I came home. Aga is great and I highly recommend.”
“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”
“We were so thankful to Kristen for scheduling a drop-in visit on very short notice. She checked in with us and sent great photos letting us know our doggies were well cared for. We will definitely reach out to Kristen in the future for pet sitting needs.”
“Jennifer was punctual, communicative, thoughtful and thorough in her check in for our rescue Doberman, Maverick. He can be a handful, and she was clearly up to the task. We came home to a happy puppy!”
“Jordan gives us so much peace of mind when we're out of town! Her attentive care for our kitties always comes through in her detailed and enthusiastic updates :) Definitely our preferred pet sitter when she has the availability for our kitties!”
About: Not only have I had pets of my own my whole life, but I have done pet- and house-sitting for friends and family for years. I love caring for others' pets like they are my own, with diligent walks, feeding, and lots of play! I have experience with many types of animals too, including dogs, cats, and rodents. I have a full-time job, so I'm available during my lunch break to walk your pet, and my weekends and evenings are free to care for them! It's a joy for me to care for pets well, and I am happy to follow any guidelines you have to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible with me in your home.
“Mollie is wonderful! I got a chance to meet her and I would highly recommend her to watch anyone’s pet. She clearly loves animals, is punctual and very nice too. I will definitely use her again. Thanks Mollie!!”
Wheaton dog parents share their Rover experiences
Joseph was an amazing dog sitter! He was kind, reliable, and took great care of my dog during the visit. Communication was excellent, and I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
I needed someone on very short notice to let my dogs out for two days while I was out of town visiting grandkids and my husband was working. Dayna jumped in right away and was an absolute lifesaver! She was prompt both days, arriving right on time. What really stood out was how thoughtful and communicative she was—she sent adorable photos of my pups having a good time and sweet, reassuring text updates that kept me completely at ease. It was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone new, but she made the whole experience stress-free and positive. From our phone conversation prior to her visits it was clear how much she loves dogs and she treated mine with such care and attention. I came home feeling confident that they were happy and well looked after. Thank you so much, Dayna! You went above and beyond and made my first Rover experience fantastic. I will definitely be booking with you again!
Leila was a big help. I booked her for last minute for multiple hours, and she didn’t bat an eye. She just asked where, when and what do you need from me? (In a good way). She completely exceeded expectations and I hope she is available to watch him again in the future!
Thantita did an amazing job with Toby. I feel like because he’s dark and big he can scare people but he’s really just all looks. She was on the floor playing with him during the meet & greet and you could see he was relaxed around her. She also tended to my one cat that has tummy issues by feeding her canned food. She even added a little water to it to keep her hydrated. She sent really great pics every day too. We got stuck in a snow storm & had to come home a day later and she was there for us kindly continuing to watch our pets. 10/10 she’s fantastic!
Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!
