“Grace was AMAZING and is so knowledgeable about dogs and their unique needs. She was so patient and knew exactly how to get our dog with bad anxiety more comfortable. We really appreciate her help and the updates during the drop- in visit.”
“Ashley did a fantastic job sitting for my two cats over almost a full two-week timeframe. I have never felt this at ease with a sitter and was really able to relax on my vacation. Timely, respectful, and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I'll never hesitate to rebook!”
“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!”
“Excellent pet sitter. I really appreciate that Ashley takes such care with them and by now really knows their personalities and quirks. She is very reliable and caring.”
“Sarah was amazing with our cat! She did an amazing job caring for him and following his preferred schedule. She is a great communicator and will be watching him again soon!”
“We have booked with Sarah several times and she’s always amazing with my two cats. Litter boxes were clean, plenty of water and food. And lots of play time and cuddle time!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Maru and following all my instructions. Vivian was very communicative before the visit and sent me adorable photos and a report about her visit. I would definitely book her again!”
“Cherri is fantastic! She is reliable, friendly, and clearly love dogs. I could tell my dogs really liked her. Her communication was excellent, and I felt great knowing that my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”
“Awesome sitter!! Michael watched my cat Conan for 10 days with little notice given beforehand and did an amazing job! Conan loved spending time with Michael and looked happy and well cared for when I returned. Michael followed all my instructions to a tea and cleaned up all the cat bowls and dishes. He sent me photos while I was away and made me feel like Conan was well cared for. Thanks Michael and I will book him again!”
About: I've grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have been around everything from a Miniature Poodle to a Great Dane and I pride myself on knowing how to care for all dogs. I do have a full time job, currently. I am in office Monday, Tuesday, and Friday and work from home on Wednesday and Thursday. I can care for furry friends around my 9-5! I will work to ensure all pets are properly leashed, crates, and/or supervised during my time with them. I am excited to work with your pets and their safety is my priority.
About: My family has rescued and loved many dogs (mainly senior poodle ladies) with several health issues. As a result, I am very experienced with specialty diets and dispensing medicines. We have also raised several cats over the years and I enjoy being around and playing with them. Our dog is the primary focus of the house. Her walks are essential to her mental health and we even drive her to the mall on days when walking outside is not possible. She’s on a strict diet with meds which I follow precisely. Abby even travels with us when possible. I will always respect the rules of your home and follow directions to provide the best care possible for your fur babies at all times
“Paula was great with our 2 pups. She did a meet and greet beforehand which was so nice! She was fantastic with them and brought over games to help engage them during her visits. The picture and notes after each visit were detailed and made us feel better about leaving our pups home knowing they were well taken care of.”
About: TLDR; I treat every pet like the main character. I lost my furbaby to kidney disease in July 2025 and it was absolutely life-shattering. I was so connected to her that she meant the world to me. While I'm not ready for another dog to fulfill my life, I'm ready to open my heart and home to care for your pet. I currently have 2 senior cats in my home. I’ve cared for family members’ dogs and cats over the years, from energetic puppies to calm senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, enrichment activities, and giving an abundance of affection. Your furbaby gets my full attention and a warm, peaceful home environment. I’m patient, safety-focused, and great at picking up on a pet’s personality—whether they want playtime, snuggles, or a little space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. If you think we'd be a good fit, let's chat! I have an open and flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets attention, regular outdoor time, and consistent routines throughout the day. In my home, I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and safe space. I stick closely to your furbaby's usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel at ease during their stay. I keep a tidy environment with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I make sure they always have fresh water, cozy spots to relax, and plenty of attention.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my cats! Very easy to communicate with, reliable, trustworthy, and so thoughtful! It was a relief to leave my babies in such good hands. During my trip each day I looked forward to the daily reports and pictures, and this put my mind at ease! I will absolutely book again with Sarah!
Kathryn was on time and very communicative before and after her stay! It was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Kathryn was incredibly reassuring and made the whole experience so easy. Would definitely recommend her!
Vivian did such a great job taking care of our very elderly dog and 2 cats. Our elderly dog can be very high maintenance but Vivian made sure she did everything she could to keep our pup comfortable and us comfortable throughout each visit. Thank you so much Vivian!
Joan has a gift! My cats can be sneaky and standoffish with new people, but they warmed up to Joan immediately. You can tell that she truly loves and cares deeply about your pets - excellent communication, photos, and very happy animals when you return. Highly recommend and will be asking her to watch the cats again. Thank you, Joan!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wheaton on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 13,304 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wheaton. 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 Wheaton 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 Wheaton. 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.
