About: My natural patience and lifelong love for dogs allow me to quickly build a bond of trust with any pet I watch. I’m not just there to provide snuggles and food and walks; I’m there to give them genuine companionship and ensure they feel secure and cherished in our home. I work from home and spend most days at home working. I love having a "desk buddy" and a dog walk is a great way to break up the day, Your pup will have constant supervision! I have a large yard that is fenced in. I love to take frequent walks to burn off that excess energy. I have multiple dog beds, cozy blankets, and plenty of toys!
“Megan was absolutely amazing with our very senior dog. It was such a relief to know Button was in such good hands while we were away. We will definitely be seeking to work with Megan again in the future!”
About: I have grown up around dogs since I was born. I have always loved caring for and interacting with dogs. I do not have my own dog currently, but would love to help care for others! I am currently substitute teaching at an elementary school, so there may be weekdays I am unavailable. I am currently not working full time, so I will be available to walk your dog(s) throughout the week! I am open to walking as far as needed for your pup. I have experience safely walking more energized dogs, so your dog will be in good hands! I have also walked up to 3 dogs at a time (various sizes) if you have more than one that needs to be walked a time.
“After having to have an emergency scheduling Stephanie was absolutely fantastic, she was quick to reply, communicative, respectful and very kind. She gave us constant updates on our cat Freyja along with photos. We would happily use her services again.”
About: I have been an avid animal lover as a child and have owned cats, bunnies and currently a 100 pound bernedoodle! I love taking care of animals and have experience administering medicine. I have previous dog walking experience aside from my own giant puppy. I currently live in Westmont IL with a lot of space and a quiet safe neighborhood for long walks. I work remote for 3 days out of the week so I am flexible with drop in visits and walks. My dog would love a playmate during the day as well, so if you need me to babysit at my place there's plenty of room. I have a friendly bernedoodle who loved to play and has moved with us 3 times to different states! He gets daily long walks, plays with us, and gets treats. We like to take him to explore different parks and trails in the area.
“Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.”
“I would love to say that Ethel is the only sitter I have tried, and I am honestly never going to try another person. My cat is always well taken care of when I am gone. Ethel communicated with me everyday and always has. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with animals and currently don’t have any of my own. I’m hoping to fill this gap by pet-sitting for others and taking care of your four-legged family members as my own! I am a full-time therapist at a private practice so my schedule is not typical. I primarily work late afternoons to evenings for short shifts so I am home during the day. I even have Mondays completely off. I will ensure that your pet is able to get their energy out early in the day, so by the evening they are ready to rest, relax, and be loved on. I have a large fenced in yard and already go on daily 1 mile walks, having a pet to join me would be great for myself and your pet’s energy!
About: Hi, I’m Jhadira! 👋 I recently experienced a layoff from my corporate HR career, so I’m taking this opportunity to spend my time doing something I truly love, caring for dogs! I’m located in the La Grange area and have a large, fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised playtime. I share my home with my two spoiled pups, Charlie and August, and I also help care for my family’s senior dog, Tony. Caring for dogs through every stage of life has taught me that each one has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My experience includes potty training puppies, working with high-maintenance dogs, caring for puppies undergoing treatment for intestinal worms and other temporary medical needs, administering oral medications, basic obedience training for both puppies and older dogs, walking and running with active dogs, and providing extra patience and specialized care for senior dogs. Whether your dog is full of energy, needs a little extra attention, or enjoys a slower pace, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m also training for a half-marathon myself so if your dog needs that outdoor exercise I would gladly love the company on my runs! As a dog mom myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else. That’s why I treat every dog as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, provide regular photo and video updates, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve also built relationships with wonderful local pet professionals. If you ever need recommendations, I’m happy to share trusted groomers and veterinarians that I’ve had great experiences with. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard zoomies, playing fetch, learning new tricks, or curling up for a nap, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Open schedule, I have my own two dogs I look after but have all day to drop in for a walk or to check in on yours! I have a tight schedule with my own dogs and will make sure to make your fur baby feel as safe and loved as if they were home.
About: I will run with your dog if you want, and I will show them love like they are my own while you are gone.. we will play walk rest and have lots of fun. I will watch them every min give them potty breaks and feed the dogs only on the schedule you would like m too. I have own a dog my whole life I am 30 years old! I will watch you dog like I am single mother but he will be at school durning the day. I will send pic and let u check in any time you would like. Dogs love me my friends have called me the dog whisper before. Dog for the win let’s have fun! Im available while my son is at school from 820 to 320 I can also help out with nights if needed I have always had a pet I treat dogs and cat like they are my child I have a fenced in yard they can come here, but I also have two dogs. I always can drive to your house and take them walks or dog house sit
“Phyllis and Greg were great. They responded right away to my request for a cat-sitter and arrived like clockwork at the appointed time every day. They took great care of our elderly cat and kept in touch throughout our time away. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I was never allowed to have a dog growing up so I would help out my neighbors wherever i was living at the time when they were at work. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for a couple years and went through proper training on how to take care of and make both dogs and cats feel as comfortable as possible. I was finally able to convince my parents to let me have a dog and I have been the main caretaker of my golden doodle smudge for about three years now I have recently switched jobs so I have a lot more free time on my hands and am finally able to get started with Rover after wanting to job for years. This way I can take care of and love on all of the animals and I can take some of the responsibilities off of another animal parent because I know it can be hard sometimes. My dog gets two meals a day and a snack around lunch time. We go on a short morning walk and a longer evening walk after dinner. For overnight house sitting my goal is to make sure to follow the routines that clients already have in place for their pets as not to change their schedules. My boyfriend Cameron and I love taking care of the dogs and giving them a special staycation
About: I have taken care of my family dog and cat for 13 years. We had a yorkie and bengal cat growing up and recently got a lab. My family cat had epilepsy and I helped administer a pill he takes twice a day. I am currently working full time and would love to spend my extra time watching your pet. I absolutely love dogs and cats and would have a great time caring for your furry friends! I will utilize all tools needed in caring for your pet. I will play with, feed, and care for your pet. During house visits, I will make sure all doors and windows are locked when leaving. I am currently working full time with some flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend my free time looking after your furry best friend! I enjoy playing and having fun. I will feed your pet, provide regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of time to get out their energy and run around.
About: I am a happy owner of 3 large dogs- goldendoodles and a labradoodle, along with a cat and a rabbit! I love animals and love being around them and playing with them. I used to co-own an in-your-home pet care business called Mollycoddles. I make trips daily to people's houses to take care of their pets while they're at work or on vacation. I have experience with dogs off all sizes, ages, and conditions. I took a break during 2025 to focus on a new career and just moved to the Darien area from Lisle- so I’m ready to meet some Darien/Willowbrook/DG pups and cats! I work from home most days and care for pets in the mornings or during your lunch breaks! Late night visits can also be arranged with repeat clients! During the summer. Hours can be flexible for visits, especially on weekends. All services will be done in your home- I will travel to you and your pup or cat and take care of them there! No worries of having to pack bags or overnight items. Potty breaks and walks are the best for working paw-rents!
“Julie is fantastic! She takes great care of my dogs, while I’m gone- making sure they’re well fed and have enough time outside, as well as playing games and boosting their moods. Julie is also a great communicator and leaves a thorough explanation of her visit and the dogs’ moods as well as several pictures, which is truly appreciated when missing my fur babies!”

Michelle is absolutely amazing and does a great job. She has been taken care of Tyson for a very long time. I feel completely comfortable with her in and out of my home when I am not there. Tyson loves her and that is the main thing. She’s respectable of your home and she’s very on-time and professional. Out of all the Rovers I’ve used Michelle is absolutely hands-down my favorite.
We hate to leave our Percy home when traveling, but Jayme took such great care of him. This was our first experience on Rover and I hope all caregivers are as kind and professional as Jayme! She guided us through the Rover process and, most importantly, made a real connection with our pup. Great communication and sent lots of pictures.
We booked with Estefanía for her to visit our dog three times a day during our week-long trip. She was always super professional- quick responses when I texted her any last-minute requests or instructions. She also brought in our trash bins and kept our plants alive:) Bruno was happy when we got home, but definitely no stress when we were away!
Evan – A Truly Exceptional Pet Sitter Evan is the best pet sitter I’ve ever worked with. I’ve had many pet sitters and boarding places. She’s been the best & feel the safest leaving my fur babies in her care! Her type of attentiveness and care is rare. She’s taken care of my elderly dog who had medical issues and cat twice now while I was away on vacation, and every time they see her, they get excited. They don’t trust just anyone and neither do I but Evan has earned that trust completely. My dog has a history of abuse and he trusts her completely because she is so gentle with him. Every visit is thoughtful and thorough. She sends multiple pictures and detailed updates about everything: meals, water breaks, potty time, and cuddles. I always looked forward reading the drop-ins. She’s always early, stays the full time, and brings a warm, friendly energy that both pets and me. Before initially hiring her, I virtually interviewed three other Pet Sitter’s and I felt like she was the best out of all of them in the area. I’m thankful I found her. Evan is kind, and reliable! She’s helped with clean up with my cat, when my dog had missed his puppy pad, and did trash removal. I feel completely at ease leaving my pets in her care, and I’ll absolutely continue to use her services. Highly recommend Evan to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy pets! I do admit I have high standards and she naturally meets them.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Willowbrook stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Willowbrook choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Willowbrook with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
