“Joan is the absolute best I would highly recommend her to anyone. We have massive Maine coon cats that don’t always take well to new people and she did amazing with them. Thank you!”
“Jennifer has been such a great find on Rover. She was so invested in the care with my cat even before the cat sitting started, taking notes , preparing ahead of time . She has such a warm, friendly and kind approach when you meet her , even in our messages prior to the meet and greet . She sent thorough daily reports and 4-5 pictures a day which was so fun to see . I’m very confident in using Jennifer again for Rishi and feel so lucky to have found her !!”
About: Hello! My name is a Rochelle and I am a 30 year old high school social studies teacher! Although I’ve grown up with pets l, my pet sitting experience didn’t start until about 6 years ago, when I first dog sat for a family friend. I stayed in their home and cared for their sweet dog, Pedro and loved it so much! After that I started marketing myself to my families that I babysit for as also being able to care for their pets! Since then I have continued to dog sit for that family friend, for my part time jobs boss, and for a family that I usually babysit for...when they go out of town I watch their sweet dog coco! I am quite the animal lover and when I am trusted to care for someone’s pet I take care of them like they are my own! I know how I would want someone to take care of my pet so I put that energy plus more when I am caring for other people’s animals! They are apart of our families and it’s just as serious to me as when I babysit for families! I am quite flexible and able to retain information so whatever routine you have for your pet or information I need to know we can work together to ensure your pet has the best care while you are away! If you would like to know more about me please don’t hesitate to ask! I work full time as a teacher. So currently I am available after school, overnight, or on weekends! Occasionally I can be available in the morning depending on location and time! When I am pet sitting I have always stayed at the persons home. Your home I realize is a safe space and so I will of course be respectful of it, I have found that generally staying in people's homes has been the best scenario for me because everything of your dogs is right there and they get to stay in their own comfortable environment with their same schedule!
“Mei Li is a great pet sitter! She loves taking care of our dogs & is on time, responsible & trustworthy. We will continue to use her services whenever possible. Highly recommended!”
“I have a very shy kitty. I was shocked when she warmed up to Jessica so immediately. When I returned home, I found the litter box clean and a very happy cat. I would be happy for her to stay with my cat any time.”
“Vanessa was wonderful. Timely, responsive, and dependable. Loved our little report cards and seeing that our pet was being loved on! Highly recommend her and will be using again!”
About: I’ve taken care of various animals and pets including, hamsters, dogs, and cats. I’ve worked in a pet hotel working with every type, size, and breed of dog. I’ve taken care of and loved cats my entire life! I’m working other gig shifts so I my hours are very open! I love meeting new pets and working with parents to provide the best care! I care for pets in the clients home by first letting the pet approach me and become comfortable with me before further interacting. I feed and give the medicines needed and of course , providing a lot of care and exercise!
About: I am newer to the pet care game but I have had experience taking care of my friends pets while they are out of town. I will always make sure they have been fed, walked, and whatever special requests the owner has. I work full time so I’m mostly looking for stuff do on weekends or evenings right now. I’m looking forward to meeting your pets and helping give them the care they need! I will not be able to keep pets in my apartment, but I will try to be as consistent with your schedule as possible so your pets can feel more stable as long as you’re gone.
About: I have had a dog for most of my life. I would love to care for your dog like I care for my own dog ❤️ Currently, I work part time so I can be flexible for your dog needs. I have the summer off from work so can be available for you. I treat dogs with respect and want them to feel comfortable when I am around. I like to keep dogs active when they need it.
About: I will love your pets the same way you do! I have years of experience of caring for dogs over multiple weeks. I also watched a friend's husky for over a year while she was out of the country.

About: I’ve grown up always around animals. Whether they were mine, my grandparents, or a friends. I have a lot of experience taking care of cats and dogs emotionally and physically. I also volunteered to a few animal shelters to learn how to properly take care of both cats and dogs. I normally work mornings until around 2-4 pm. So I’m available the rest of the day to take care of your pets. I’m on a rotating shift so essentially I’m available everyday all day for anyone in need for pet care. There’s also times of the month I’m available all week for anyone who plans to take a vacation out of state for a week. I’ll be available to make sure your pets can also relax until you guys come back. In both my home and the client's, I will make sure all of the pets needs are taken care of. Whether that be: entertainment, training, or food.
About: I've had pets my whole life and grew up caring for all kinds of animals, my family even keeps chickens, so I'm no stranger to that either. My experience has given me a real love for animal care, especially dogs. My family has four dogs at home, and they're truly part of the family. Their care and happiness mean a lot to me. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. With four dogs of my own, I'm used to a routine of morning walks, feeding times, and playtime built right into my day. I make sure there's always time set aside for exercise, attention, and just being present with them, whether that's a walk around the neighborhood, some backyard playtime, or simply relaxing together at home. Caring for animals isn't an extra task for me, it's just part of how my day naturally flows. In my home, my four dogs have a regular routine of feeding, walks, and playtime, with plenty of individual attention along the way. In a client's home, I stick closely to their usual routine and keep owners updated with photos so they know their pet is well cared for.
About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up with anywhere from one to six dogs at a time—often larger dogs weighing 50–100 pounds—along with cats and other pets. In my family, caring for animals meant taking responsibility for their daily needs, and that lesson stayed with me. I worked at a veterinary clinic for three years during high school, primarily in reception, with additional experience helping with kennel feeding, cleaning, and bathing. I also volunteered with the Humane Society of Aurora, mainly walking dogs and giving them time to play and enjoy attention outside their kennels. My own dog, Taylor Mae—Tay—is a senior mixed breed who has taught me so much about patient, attentive care. Managing her pancreatitis, dietary restrictions, medications, and surgical recovery has made me especially mindful of following care instructions and noticing changes. I’ve also worked with a behaviorist on her leash reactivity. My strongest qualities are patience and dependability. I give animals time to get comfortable, pay attention to their body language, and take their individual routines seriously. Whether your pet needs a good walk, a quiet visit, or a little extra patience, I want them to feel safe and cared for—and you to feel informed and at ease. I’m focusing on local dog walks and drop-in visits in and around Four Lakes. Please check my calendar for current availability. We’ll confirm the timing and care your pet needs before booking, especially for recurring visits or time-sensitive medications. I start by learning your pet’s routine, temperament, triggers, dietary restrictions, and care instructions. I never give food or treats without owner approval. On walks, I pay close attention to body language and our surroundings, creating distance or changing direction when a dog needs more space. My experience with my own reactive dog has taught me the value of anticipation, patience, and avoiding unnecessary pressure. For pets with reactivity or additional care needs, we’ll discuss their history and meet before confirming that we’re a good fit. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, water, medications, litter care, and securing doors and gates. You can expect updates and photos, along with communication about anything unusual I notice.
About: My family has always had pets in our home. From a young age I've been interested in the emotions and health of our furry friends. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups all evening! Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available all day but Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays I am available after 4:00 PM. Aside from daily walks, I will ensure they're eating a balanced meal based on a specific schedule as well as plenty of playtime to prevent boredom.
About: As someone who has always grown up around dogs, I understand that your pup is a part of the family and I take pride in taking care of your furry loved ones while you’re away! I currently have a German shepherd/Boxer mix (lives with my family) and a Rottweiler (lives with me). I have previously volunteered at a humane society and have also been employed at a dog boarding facility. I enjoy watching Dog Impossible in my free time and would love to spend time with your 4-legged family member in my free time too! I’m also an animal and nature photographer, so I’d be happy to take high quality photos while you’re away! I’m currently working full time from home (Monday-Friday) so I’d be more than happy to welcome your pup into my home and have a new coworker, taking them out as needed, or pack up my gear and work with them in the comfort of their own home! Please check out my calendar for my most updated availability ☺️ I have a friendly dog to keep your pup company and I have a fenced in yard for all of your pups squirrel chasing and potty needs! I will always be cautious and careful to any and all of your pets needs while on leash too!
About: I grew up with two dogs and two cats and was one of their main caregivers. From feeding and walking to supervising and giving them plenty of love and attention, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. My boyfriend and I now have our two-year-old boy, Whalon, who is truly family. We include him in everything — hikes, vacations, and everyday adventures. He’s our best friend and a huge part of our lives. I believe caring for an animal is a privilege. I take that responsibility seriously, and I do it with pride, patience, and genuine love. When your companion is with me, they’ll be treated with the same care, respect, and affection I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work for a school, so I’m up early and home at a reasonable time each day. This allows me to keep a consistent schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with family and my own dog, which means I have plenty of availability and flexibility. I truly enjoy incorporating animals into my everyday life — it never feels like a task, it’s something I love. I’m also big on communication and will always keep you updated so you feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. Whether caring for animals in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort always come first. Whalon is our top priority — he’s our pride and joy — and we’re constantly making sure he feels secure, happy, and well cared for. That same level of attention and love is exactly what I provide for your companion. We have a fenced yard where Whalon enjoys plenty of exercise and playtime when we’re not out on walks or hikes. I’m very mindful of routines, supervision, and creating a calm, positive environment so every animal feels at ease.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Woodridge
Jo’Ell is amazing with our puppy! First and foremost, she is always on time and always communicates with us about our puppy. She provides several photos and engages with our puppy. The best is that she brings over different toys and puzzles to help our puppy learn and stimulate their brain. I could not ask for a better person to help us with our dog. Thank you so much.
My scheduled dog sitter canceled on me pretty last minute and Kaitlyn really was a life saver. She showed up on time and was so sweet to Caesar from the get go. Incredibly professional and incredibly communicative without being overkill. Sent me plenty of pictures of my boy and I could tell she gave him all the attention he deserves. 10/10 would recommend and would book again
Audrey is the best. If you’re reading this in hopes of finding your new dog sitter - look no further. She is communicative, detail oriented, thoughtful, and caring. She has been our weekly dog walker for months and we have always felt very comfortable with our spoiled little girls being in her care! We had never opened our home to a stranger before to help care for our girls, and we are so thankful that Audrey was able to introduce us to Rover with such an amazing first experience. I cannot go on enough about how great she is!

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.
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 Woodridge 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 .

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 .
