“Kristina was wonderful at taking care of Saga. She was kind, caring and loving. She was great at following directions related to her medication and food. Also, she was prompted answering all my questions. I appreciate your help and support when I was away from home. Thank you.”
“Susan was our first ever Rover sitter, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Our Ted cat was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so it's comforting to know he's in good hands when we are gone.”

About: I may be newer to professional pet sitting, but I am very responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I take time to follow instructions closely, respect routines, and give each pet the attention they need. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care that builds trust with both pets and their owners. I work almost full-time on weekdays, but I make time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to ensure pets get reliable, consistent, and loving care. I care for pets in their own home by following routines closely and making safety my top priority. I ensure dogs are fed, walked, and given attention according to instructions, while keeping them calm, comfortable, and secure. I always respect the client’s home and aim to build trust through reliable, attentive care.
“This is our second time having Adriana take care of Caius and she has been so great. She always sends us pictures of him which makes us feel comfortable while we’re away. Caius is usually pretty reactive and needs some time warming up to people and it seems as though he really has with her. It speaks to how great she is with animals. Thanks Adriana! ❤️”
About: I've taken care of dogs of many different breeds for more than years, including my own. Your pup will feel loved and safe. I will treat them as if they are my own. I'm currently in between projects so I'm pretty open for the month of August. Starting September, I will be available in the early evening and night time. I am not going to offer boarding in my own as I have my own pet who is territorial. Furthermore, my home is not equipped to house more than one animal.
About: I've had a dog pretty much at all times since I was 6. My home is affectionately called The Pound, to some, it's called Club Bow Wow. As an adult I had a Jack Russell that crossed the rainbow when she was 17 years old. We had so much fun together, even in her senior years when her lifestyle changed. My current dog Bailey Rose was a rescue that truly found me at a time I thought I was not going to get a dog again. The moment I saw her, I knew she was going to be mine! Since adopting Bailey I have fostered 6 pups and she has been the best foster sister. My home has had up to 6 family dogs at the same time, hence the name The Pound. Whether it be for a visit or for sitting dogs love to be here because the feel the love and energy from me! I've boarded dogs for weeks at a time, although I prefer to board for shorter time. We take daily walks and play in my large yard multiple times a day. Your dog will be in safe loving hands with me and they will definitely have a fun time with Team Maggie and Bailey at The Pound. I work from home Monday thru Friday. My work time is pretty flexible so I can take breaks as needed for walks/check-in/playtime. I am also available on weekends as needed. I have a large fenced in yard. My home has space for your dog to freely roam and I have the space to crate if that is your preference. I have dog beds in my office while I work if your pup likes to be near their human friends.
“Maggy is great! Good communication, takes good care of Sky even when cat was hiding due to storms. I really appreciate how she accommodated our last minute change in plans. 5 stars ++”
“Jonie is a true cat whisperer! She immediately connected with my shy girl—had her eating out of the palm of her hand in no time. Punctual, communicative, and caring. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!"”
“Did a great job caring for my cat. Didn't require a prior meeting and greet and followed my texted care instructions with no problems. Also brought in packages that were delivered without being asked, very appreciated.”
“Jenny was wonderful when taking care of our pet. She was responsive, followed meds and food instructions well and most importantly she was nice, kind and loving with our dog. I will reach out back for future pet sitting support. Thank you 🙂”

About: From my childhood being with dogs have been my best friends. I adore their loyalty. I love spending time with them and see them happy. Dogs are a huge part of my life, I can't imagine not having them around me. To be with them and take care of dogs is what I prefer and have fun doing. I can so relate to every dog owners wish for the best care of their dog, just how I do with mine. I'm trustworthy and reliable. I would tend to your dog as much as I do to my own. I love and respect them so much. Dogs enlighten my life. I'm very easy going and flexible person. Tending to dogs comes natural to me because I appreciate them so much.

Mariela was amazing! Total life saver, we needed a last minute booking for a holiday weekend, and we were able to setup a meet n greet and home visit in less than 1 week. She was a total natural, pit bull instantly took to her. Very responsive to messages and sent pictures everyday!!
Meghan was very friendly and professional. They are knowledgeable and experienced and my dog felt comfortable with them right away. It was a comfort knowing they could administer oral meds confidently. I would definitely recommend Meghan’s services and book again.

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 Wood Dale 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.
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 Wood Dale 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 .
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.
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 Wood Dale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
