About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have always had a huge heart for them! I’m a proud dog mom to two very spoiled girls, Milan and Mazie, who are truly treated like family. From everyday adventures to road trips, flights, and vacations, they go just about everywhere with me! Beyond caring for my own pups, I’m also passionate about animal rescue and have helped rescue, reunite, and rehome animals in my community. Most recently, I was involved in rescuing a lost dog who had been on her own for weeks. These experiences have taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and earning an animal’s trust. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. My goal is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for caring for animals! As a dog mom myself, pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m happy to work with owners to accommodate their pets’ schedules, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or extra attention while you’re away. I understand the importance of consistency and will always do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow their usual schedule, respect their environment, and provide plenty of love and attention. I’m attentive to behavior, surroundings, and any specific instructions you provide. I treat every pet with the same patience, compassion, and care I give my own two girls!
About: I am detail oriented and love schedules. I am punctual and will send updates and photos to your specifications. Whether your babies need crated or cuddled, I am the one for the job. I am currently not working so I am available most days and weekends. I have 2 friendly dogs that love to walk and play as well. I have a fenced in yard, lots of space for the animals to roam around freely. My dogs are both friendly and happy to meet new friends.
“Kelsey was excellent would definitely use her again. She did a wonderful job caring for my pets for an extended period of time. Received daily pictures that helped reassure quality of care. Many thanks Kelsey”
About: I have had pets of my own all of my life and currently have a cat of my own named Nala. I have years of experience with animals of all sizes and personalities and can provide references if desired. I am a manager at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and have been employed there for going on 5 years now, so I am well-trained and make sure to focus on key details in your pet care instructions. I also have experience conducting puppy classes where I work with them on basic commands, such as sit, stay, come, down. I am excited to meet your pet and give them the best and most trustworthy care around! I am a mother and part-time employee. My availability varies depending on schedules, however, I am happy to discuss your needs and work around schedules to fit you in! I provide a very safe and loving environment when I am with your pets! I am trained in medication administration for both cats and dogs and have 4+ years of experience in a high-volume setting handling anywhere from 15-50 dogs at once, so rowdy pets are no issue! I make sure to not only care for your pets, but insure the safety and security of your home as well!
About: I am extremely clean and organized and when it comes to animals I love taking care of them and keeping there things clean and neat I'm currently doing part time bookkeeping for certain clients as well as teaching guitar lessons also part time so I am very open in terms of scheduling I have a large back and front yard and I live on a culdesac that is extremely dog-friendly and would be very easy for me to take them on frequent walks

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wheeling is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wheeling. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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