“Being super new to Rover, I was so ecstatic to see the summary after Juliana’s visit. Juliana has been super awesome with me because even though I say Quigley has anxiety, I think I have more than him when I leave him. I, like most people went from office to home so being that I’m 24/7 with him I feel guilty leaving him.”
“We don’t have any family in the area and were very nervous to leave our dog for a few days while we went to another country. Amanda was so good with our boy and put us totally at ease! Will definitely be hiring her again. Wonderful!”
“Julie was very professional and sent us pictures as well as detailed information about how her drop in with our dog went! We would definitely reach out to Julie should we need help with our dog in the future!”
“Caraline is amazing, we were so happy with how she took care of my two cats and are so excited to have her watch them again later this month. She is so patient, always sends photos and updates, follows every care instruction and brings so much peace of mind while traveling or being anxiously away from your pets. Her calm energy and love for animals has even made my extremely timid cat open up and initiate contact and play with her. She left areas cleaner than they were found and was eager to help outside of what was initially asked, including cleaning up cat litter/waste my cats dragged outside of their litter boxes without asking. I definitely recommend her and will be using her as a regular cat sitter!”
“Heather watched our two ragdoll cats for the first time recently. Naturally, I was a little nervous because our cats have never been left alone overnight. Heather did an amazing job of keeping me updated about the kitties, which gave me great peace of mind. When we came back, the kitties looked great and everything had been taken care of wonderfully. We will definitely use Heather again!”
“We are so thankful for the great care Amy gave to our dog Brody while we are were away. She was so great about giving us updates and took extra care to help solve small things that came up. We look forward to having Amy help us again in the near future!”
“I know Millie is in good hands when Jessica comes over. Jessica will always leave me a note and pictures of Millie which I am grateful for. She is reliable and prompt and takes great care of our fur baby.”
“Stephanie is great! She’s goes above and beyond for your pets and their safety. Our remote garage closer wasn’t working so she drove back to manually close it. Extremely grateful for her professionalism and kindness.”
About: I started taking care and training dogs when I was 13. My parents rescued my dog Luna when I was 14 and I took care of her every day and trained her, she even understands Spanish! She is the sweetest dog ever but I currently don’t live with her anymore. I also enjoy taking care of kids and I am very patient and confident in my ability to handle anything. I love to teach and I am very passionate about what I do. Once I start something I work hard to become better everyday. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time. I am fully committed to working Monday-Saturday mostly from 8am-9pm. My current schedule is simple. I go to the gym from 9-11:30am and pretty much free the rest of the day. I have a part time job and I work every other week Sat-Sun from 4-10. I have a really flexible schedule so feel free to ask any questions! I would usually take my dog out for her first walk at 8 in the morning. I would take her out for at least 15min and repeat this every 3/4 hours. After her first walk I fed her breakfast, sometimes I’d crack an egg on top or drizzle honey which is great for dogs, and I fed her twice a day. If it was muddy outside I would clean her paws and fur after. I would play with her and teach her new tricks every now and then. If her breath was bad I would brush her teeth at night. I loved cuddling and sleeping with her and I would do everything to make sure she was happy.
“John was wonderful with our energetic boxer puppy! I highly recommend him. When we came home, she greeted us with excitement and love as usual. Then she ran around our house looking for her new friend, John!”
About: I have worked for two zoos, 2 emergency clinics and hospitals that focused on cat, dog and exotics from rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos, tarantulas, ferrets, beardies, chinchillas, fennecs, prairie dogs, birds, axolotls, ect. I have training in senior cat and dog care and animal behavior training as well as vaccine and injection experience. I graduated from Joliet Junior College as a Veterinary Technician and I have petsat many dogs, cats, herps and small mammals. I'm strict with lists and rules and I love playing and giving treats. All animals are my friends including your tarantula! I love working with animals and I love working with pet parents. I have a large reference sheet with people who swear by me and know that their furry (or scalie) family member is in caring, professional, loving hands. If you're looking for a trusted, well rounded, experienced vet tech, then I'm your sitter!! If you don't like leaving your baby home alone, ask me about boarding!! I board ***most*** exotics and cats! (I don't board dogs, birds, aquatics, or larger exotics, please ask me for details) I will talk to you first to make sure my schedule fits into your animals' needs. If my schedule does not match your pets' needs, then I will kindly decline your offer as your pets' needs come before me. I want to see you matched with the best sitter you can find. I will sit for your furry (or scalie) baby at your own home, so your rules are law! If your doggy needs to be crated, I will do that! If your kitty needs insulin shots, I have experience in that! Does your baby need 500 mLs of fluid? You're in the right hands! Does your flowers need to be watered? Tell me what a hydrangea looks like and I will water it!!
“Sara was an excellent sitter for our two cats! She gave thorough updates with plenty of pictures each time. We felt very satisfied knowing our kittens were in good hands during our trip.”
About: I've loved dogs since I can first remember. my dad got a yellow lab Scottie who i was responsible for training and taking care of. In college after a close friend passed, enter Porter my very own yellow lab. For Porters 3rd birthday me and diana decided to get him a dog friend , enter Oliver our Daschund :) growing up I have cared for my family and neighbors dogs. Diana, my partner of 6 years, has had several dogs growing up and has also raised several litters of puppies. Porter has gone through advanced training and both Oliver and Porter are on the halo system. We see our dogs as family, not just pets. Dogs sleep on the bed and are allowed on the couch. We change the sheets and vacuum daily, meticulously clean. We both work from home (WFH). From the minute we wake up we take the dogs out to play and/or walk for at least 20 minutes along with some training before eating breakfast. We have a fully fenced yard and fairly flexible, constantly take breaks and meetings outside and walks around the neighborhood and park. We care for our pets in our home with the highest form of respect, love and understanding. We really see them as more than family or friends and take them with us everywhere. We bake Porter and Oliver a yearly birthday and holiday dog cake, and have traveled across the US from CA to as far as my hometown of Chicago by both plane and car, and have had dozens of hotel stays - our pack is polite, well mannered and good vibes

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodridge
Audrey was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our cats while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We have an elderly, sick cat who can be quite challenging and tends to make a mess, so we fully expected to come home to some cleanup. Instead, the house looked fantastic! Even more impressive, Audrey was able to give him his medication successfully—a huge win that we honestly weren’t counting on. She also sent us a wonderful video update, which was such a thoughtful touch. Seeing our cats relaxed and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Audrey truly went above and beyond. She is kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We would happily trust her with our pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter!
All was in order when I returned home around 4:30. The dogs were let out around 9:30 a.m. and early afternoon. Jess texted just after 5 that she was preparing for the final check in of the day, but I replied that I’d returned home on schedule and the visit wouldn’t be necessary.
Gabriella is fantastic with our young dog! We've had Gabriella over a few times for our energetic German Shepherd who can be quite a handful, and she is so kind and patient with him. Allowing someone into your home and allowing someone to take care of your pet is a big step, and we'd never used Rover before. Gabriella made me feel much more comfortable with the process and it has worked out so well. Thank you Gabriella!
We recently moved to Northern Illinois from downstate and were nervous about leaving our older cat overnight. As soon as we met Nicole, those fears vanished. Nicole clearly has a natural gift in working with animals. Our female cat trusted her immediately. Nicole communicated with us appropriately, followed our instructions, and made a new friend in Grace. We had a wonderful weekend away. Thank you, Nicole!
Jeff have been a fantastic part of our lives for the past year and a half. Jeff took such great care of Nuri, and he was a true professional. He was incredibly flexible and understanding whenever we had a last-minute change to our work schedules, which we appreciated so much. We’re so grateful for everything he's done and will miss him! Any dog would be lucky to have him.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Woodridge on Rover is $20.33 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 13,188 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodridge. 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 Woodridge 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 Woodridge. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
