“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Cat Sitter – Punctual, Responsible, and Caring I cannot recommend Mariela enough! She is incredibly punctual, responsible, and attentive to my cat, Simba. From the moment I hired her, she was highly responsive and kept me updated, which made my vacation completely stress-free. Not only did she take excellent care of Simba—who absolutely adores her and thrives under her care—but she also went above and beyond by taking out trash. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly set her apart. Thanks to her, I could enjoy my trip knowing Simba was in the best hands. In fact, I’m already looking forward to my next vacation because I know she’ll take care of everything perfectly! If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy cat sitter, look no further. Simba and I are so grateful for her outstanding service, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Gabriela is wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, which I really appreciated. She is always on time or a few minutes early, which is nice, and is great with my pup.”
“Ashley was a wonderful sitter for our cat! She was very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure Poppy was well cared for. She even noticed when the automatic feeder was low on food and made sure to refill it, which I hadn’t thought to ask her to keep an eye on.”
“Maddie is very responsive, reliable, and accommodating with last-minute requests. She’s great with Ollie and always leaves thoughtful notes and pictures after her visits. We really appreciate her help!”
“Last minute request on our part. Super fast response and was available to see them within 3 hours of the booking. Great communication and lots of pictures. Thank you 😊”
“Maricela did drop in visits for us while we were on a cruise. It was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was super responsive to messages and always checking in. I have such a hard time leaving our pets for vacation but she made that part of the trip so easy for us. I would refer her to anyone who needed pet sitting services. I can’t thank her enough.”
“Klaudia is so great with our little Nugget! We are always appreciative to have a sitter like her when we need it and we look forward to having her house sit for us in the near future!”
About: My name is McKinzie and I have a 4 year old loving Golden Retriever. We love to go on long walks and play fetch! I have been watching dogs and involved in rescues for many years. I am a very big animal lover and I promise to love your pet just like my own! Due to working from home I am very flexible! Feel free to reach out if you are interested in me helping out with your pets! I currently have a flexible schedule as I work from home! I would love to fit your pups play time into my day so I can care for your pooch. I also have a cute golden retriever! I treat any dog just like my own. I am very nurturing with animals and I have created a very safe environment for them in my apartment! I also have a little gated yard area for them to go outside etc!
“Ellie was amazing! She truly cared about Luna's wellbeing while I was out of town. She took away my worries and gave me updates on her visits with Luna. Will definitely trust her with my fur baby again.”
“Maggy was wonderful - I can't wait to book her again! Our first time using Rover and she was patient in explaining what to expect during our meet and greet. Even responded quickly when I added a last minute additional visit on very short notice. She clearly loves cats and took excellent care of Skylar!”
“Jenny is so great with our dog and our puppy! We have loved using her the last few weeks and will continue to use her for as long as possible! We look forward to her pictures and detailed updates every time. Thanks Jenny!”
“Adriana was amazing and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. This was our first time having someone watch Caius and she kept us notified and sent photos the entire time. He is definitely more of a reactive dog and gets pretty territorial of our home, but he felt so comfortable with Adriana. She also watched him over the holidays which was much appreciated. We will absolutely be having her watch him again in the future. Thank you so much! ❤️”
“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.”
“Nathalia took wonderful care of my cat, SunTie! She was very responsible, kind, and attentive, and followed his care instructions carefully. I really appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing SunTie was in good hands while I was away. I would definitely recommend Nathalia and would be happy to book with her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wood Dale
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.
To put it simply Warda is amazing! She comes prepared when you do a meet and greet with her, prior to an official booking. She has a checklist of questions and gives you knowledge, since she is a cat mom herself. When she is taking care of your fur baby, she updates you with every visit and sends pictures, videos, and a very thorough summary of what happened during her visit. She offers to tidy up the house before you come back from your break as well. She is very observant (for example she got my cat Milo a water dispenser since she noticed I didn’t have one). Overall she is a very thoughtful, welcoming, and knowledgeable person and I know that Milo enjoyed having her around. Don’t hesitate booking with Warda, you won’t regret it!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wood Dale on Rover is $25.53 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 13,291 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wood Dale. 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 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.
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 Wood Dale. 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.
