“I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, especially going so far away. Maricela was amazing! She was reliable and prompt and went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby was loved and cared for. I will definitely use her again knowing I won’t have to worry”
“Victoria kept an eye on my cat while I was out of town - everything went great. She was super communicative and friendly, and we came home to a happy cat. I would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
About: I love the quote by Mark Twain: “Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” That’s exactly how I feel about pet sitting. I grew up with animals and currently have two cats, Loki and Oreo. I also have experience working with dogs, cats and volunteer with local animal welfare organizations as well as worked with companies in the past. If you’d like to learn more, feel free to reach out! 🐾
“My number 1 and only cat sitter! Always reliable and even won over the heart of my very regal and not quick to accept anyone cat, elbows! Thanks for always being there to watch my babies while I’m out of town!”
“Liz took such amazing care of our kitties while we were away for a week. This was our first time using a sitter and Liz’s detailed (often hilarious) notes and pictures put our minds at ease. She was prompt to the specified window and she stayed with them for a full hour each visit. She made sure both cats got maximum love and care, even adapted her strategies to cater to our more skittish cat and some quirky feeding rituals! We couldn’t be more grateful to Liz and hope we'll be able to book with her again in the future!”
“Ashley is very detail oriented and provides a clear summary of each visit both written and in pictures. She says in constant communication if any unforeseen events arises. Highly recommend!”
“Crystal was great! She was so good with our dogs - got right down on the floor when she met them and they loved her. She had great communication and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I bring a lifetime of hands‑on experience with animals, both personally and professionally. I have cared for my own pets and entrusted animals for decades, and I have built my entire career around responsible, observant and compassionate animal care. Available both weekdays and weekends, can do morning, mid-day and evening appointments. Open to multi-day engagements for clients who need some vacation support, as well as consistent daily appointments. I have two cats and two birds, as well as a plethora of fish at home. I give off “chill vibes” and will care for your pet as if they were my own!
“I have two orange tabbies who are set up on an automatic feeder and automatic litter box, so the hardest part about being away from them is finding someone who can play with them and give them food as a treat. I hired Hannah as a cat sitter and she pleasantly exceeded my expectations. Hannah is beyond amazing. She got both of my cats to play with her by figuring out the weird things they each like to do — one is driven by random sounds and the other is a fetcher. Best part was when I walked in, they both appeared to be in a good mood, whereas normally they look stressed after I’ve been away. That’s my measure of how well they were played with. Highly recommend Hannah for cats who need more than just a check-in.”
About: I’ve cared for my two French bulldogs for the past 7 years, giving me years to really connect with dogs. I truly love dogs and always seek out their company. I’m caring, trustworthy, and thoughtful, making me a reliable and passionate dog sitter who connects well with pets. I’m a senior in high school and get out of school around 4 PM on weekdays. After that, I’m free and can easily make arrangements. On weekends, I’m very flexible and just need to be contacted to work around any schedule. This way, I can provide reliable care whenever needed. I’m happy to visit clients’ homes! to walk, feed, check in, or day sit any dogs. I want to make sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their own environment while I’m still able to help out clients get through their day!
“You will not go wrong if you choose Warda. I left my young, shy kitten & came home to her being outgoing, talkative & more playful. Warda is a cat mom & treated my cat as her own. She also found ways to capitalize on the drop-in time for entertainment as it was my cat's time to be left alone without me being there. I know my cat missed me as she hasn't let me out of her sight since my coming home and that warms my heart.”

“This is my second time booking with Giselle and she was, again, amazing with my two cats. They are quite active and mischievous, and got into some trouble while I was away. Giselle seemed patient with them and cared for them well.”
“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”

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!

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.

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.
