“I was very nervous to leave my cats at home for 2 weeks while on vacation, but Teffni made me feel so much better with how well she took care of them! She played with them every day, sent pictures, gave medicine, and even vacuumed the litter. She was great!”
“Khadija was very communicative, flexible, and followed all care instructions. She provided daily pictures and videos during the check-in, so I never felt nervous about being away from my cat for an extended period. My cat absolutely adored spending time with her!”
“Liza was AMAZING! It was our first time using Rover. We have two dogs and a cat and we’re feeling nervous about leaving them. Liza was so good with them, cuddled them, and always left us with the best visit details with really cute pictures! I know we can’t wait to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sharon was great! She made us feel like we were in really good hands and our pet was happy the whole time we were away! Would definitely book with her again.”
“Drew is just downright amazing! Braved the winter storm to take care of our boys and went above and beyond as a sitter. Extremely responsive and friendly to us and the cats. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.”
About: I've been dog walking ever since 2020, starting with my sister's retriever mix, my neighbor's dogs of similar size (85 lbs), and a family friend’s corgi. I'm used to taking care of dogs with a lot of energy! I've been entrusted to take of care my sister's dog on my own for extended periods of time since then, spanning anywhere from a week to over two months. I am available mostly from 10 am - 4 pm on weekdays, barring any special circumstances. On weekends I am less flexible in the afternoons. I have a fenced in yard that is decently spacious with lots of slopes for dogs to run across. It's perfect for a game of fetch or just a case of the zoomies! While I do spend most of the day on my own, I can give enough attention to any dog that needs it because of my flexible schedule.
“Natalia has been great with our cats, making sure that they are happy and cared for while we are away. It's been touching to see one of our timid cats open up to her. We love the text and picture updates.”
“Anton was great with my two kitties. Hey played with them everyday and sent lots of pictures. It was really easy to communicate with him all week. I would definitely use him again. One of our cats is usually shy, but after the first day we saw pictures of the cat hanging out with Anton.”
“Joe was so wonderful with my very playful, attention seeking young cat and kept him engaged and happy while I was away. I was grateful to leave my kitty with someone so caring (and good at innovating new ways to keep a cat entertained!) and will definitely be asking him to look after my cat again.”
“Ashley was fantastic with our cat! She was very responsive and communicative with us, flexible when our plans changed, and did everything we could possibly ask. Our cat was in great hands while we were away and was happy as ever after Ashley's visits. We will definitely book her again!”
“As always, Michael took great care of our dog! He takes the time to send us detailed updates and he always puts in the effort to play with our dog (but takes our pups lead if he’d rather cuddle on the couch for a bit!)”
“Always happy to have Melissa watch our cats while we're away. She's incredibly responsive and shares great detailed updates. She clearly cares about our cats, and it makes us feel so much better about being away for a few days. Can't recommend Melissa enough!”
“Samuel was a wonderful sitter! He was very attentive and responsible, he sent great summaries and pictures, and was flexible when fitting me in last minute. My rambunctious kitty had a great with him!”
“Julianna is amazing. Reliable, Trustworthy, Communicative and Kind. Couldn't recommend her more. It was a relief to know that our precious kitties were in great hands.”
“Sarah did an outstanding job caring for our two Boston Terriers! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs, and our girls absolutely adore her. She kept us updated, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely continue using Sarah in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”
“Rebecca did great with our cats! She was so patient and kind with our shy kitty who also needs medicine, and was able to troubleshoot administration when things didn't go exactly to plan. Our girls will be excited to see her again in the future ❤️”
“Meredith is highly responsible, and has successfully taken care of my cat who has become quite sassy (and hissy) toward pet sitters. I am so grateful that she has been able to work with us, even though I know her visits to see Luna are not easy. You're my hero Meredith!”
About: I've cared for three pets since 2018, all hyper Boston Terriers, and I understand dogs with temperament and behavior issues. I love all animals (but dogs are my favorite). Current and future availability is extensive. I'm taking a year off from school and working to earn money. I have no plans to travel and will be available 7 days a week. I regularly walk, feed and play with my Boston Terrier. And, of course, his safety is the upmost importance to me. He's my companion and greatest friend.

Edgar was fantastic! He took great care of Bagel and Badger while we were away and kept us updated with photos and notes after each visit. He clearly spent quality time with them and provided lots of attention and enrichment rather than simply stopping by to take care of the basics. The cats really enjoyed him and were clearly comfortable and happy in his care. Edgar was reliable, communicative, and attentive, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!
We booked Quantairra pretty last minute before a trip. She came the next day to meet us and our cat, Cash. She was attentive and we felt good about leaving Cash in her hands! Quantairra sent us photos and a helpful report in each Rover report, which we really appreciated, and Cash was doing great when we got back. She also cleaned up a couple messes for us which we really appreciate. Thanks Quantairra!
Chedda was amazing with my dogs! She was reliable, followed all of my instructions, kept them entertained, and went above and beyond during her visits. My dogs took to her right away, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again!
I've only ever used friends and family to watch my pets so was a little nervous about the idea of booking a stranger but Jana was so wonderful, put me right at ease, and set the bar so high for pet sitters! Right away I knew she was going to be a fantastic sitter. She was quick with her responses, prompt with her check ins and photos and clearly loves animals. My cat was so well taken care of while I was gone and I'm looking forward to continuing using Jana's services!
Tenzin was excellent, very conscientious and communicative. She did everything I asked of her, and my pets (a dog and 2 cats) seemed to love her. She wasn't fazed at all by my 120 lb dog or my 6.5 lb cat; she handled both extremes with skill, confidence and care. I'll be looking to rebook her regularly from now on if possible!
I have probably never written a review but Vidya deserves our recognition and appreciation. She takes her job with the outmost seriousness and I think she should open a franchise of outfits trained to her standards of care, kindness, transparency and integrity. We were away for two months and had complete peace of mind that our cat and house were in excellent hands. Thank you Vidya. You are a star.

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 17,752 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
