“Ann is an excellent cat sitter. She kept my cat calm and loved while I was away. Ann is kind, responsive, and dependable, and I’m confident she’ll take great care of your cat too. Thank you, Ann!”
“Charlotte was a wonderful sitter and made me feel so comfortable throughout my trip away from my babies (w cats)! Will be booking again the next time I’m away.”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She sent photos of Cricket’s food and water bowls each visit and kept her litter box clean. Although Cricket hid the entire time, I felt extremely comfortable trusting Stephanie with her. I will definitely book with Stephanie again :)”
About: I had the same dog since I was 9 years old, who passed away a year ago due to cancer. Now that I don’t have him with me, I’d love to show your dog the same attention as I wish I could give mine! Whether that be walks, cuddles, or some extra attention, I’d be more than willing to help! Trust me when I say I’d be just as happy to see your dog, as they will be to see me! I work an 8 am to 4 pm job during the week. On a weekday I’d be willing to see your dog before work, after work, or evenings! And have open availability on the weekends for any time! I will always pay attention to what your dog needs while you’re not there. This includes fill water bowls, food if needed, clean their paws after walks, and change pee pads if needed! I have experience with cleaning up pet waste accidents inside the home and I will always clean up their toys before I go so it’s tidy when you come back!
“I can't say enough good things about Amanda! We always know our fur babies are in the best care. Amanda gives special attention to detail, like making sure the house was tidy and following specific instructions I had for my pets' routine. I highly recommend Amanda’s services to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Juliana did an excellent job taking care of our cat, Auri, while we were on vacation. She was flexible when we decided to increase the number of drop-in visits, pilled and applied ointment when Auri's allergies were acting up, and overall was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely consistent in the time of day that she visited our kitty over both weekdays and the weekend. She gave us great peace of mind that our cat was in good hands while we were away. We will certainly book Juliana again when we travel in the future.”
“Heather took such great care of our pups while we were gone for the day! Adorable photos and a very detailed report. We feel wet comfortable leaving our pups with Heather.”
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!!
“So glad we found Sarah on Rover! She is a delightful young lady who is meticulous in her care of our pups. She is responsive and caring. Keeps us informed via texts and pics, and we are totally at ease when she cares for them. Highly recommend💕”
“Sam took great care of our pups during a drop in visit and gave a detailed update with plenty of pictures. She’s understanding of and attentive to the different needs of each dog in her care. Couldn’t ask for anything more!”
“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.”
“If you’re looking for someone to make your pet feel like they’re part of the family, look no further than Amy. She was incredibly kind, super informative, and kept us in the loop every day about our boy. We trust her completely with our pup and will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone we know.”
“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!”
“Carlen was great! She helped ease our minds by doing meet and greets prior to the booking and was very flexible when we needed to modify plans the day before. Happy our girls were in good hands with her!”
“Becky (Rebecca) is my cat whisperer. My cats are 15 and one needs a pill twice a day. I’ve had other sitters who said my cat was cranky or running from the pill, which is why I chose Rebecca. All of her reviews said how patient and caring she was, and that she truly understand animals. And she does! My cats loved her. Her attention to them was amazing. She made sure to not stress my cat out and gain his trust before giving him in pill. Honestly, for the first time in 15 years I won't have anxiety leaving my cats because I know she can take good care of them. Hell - the day I was back the front door opened and my cats ran to it all excited, thinking their new friend was over to visit. I will 100% be using Rebecca again, and I highly suggest her for anyone.”

Meredith was fantastic! My cat can be very shy, but from all the pictures she took, it’s clear Meredith was able to quickly get her out of her shell and enjoying herself during her visits. Meredith was very reliable and adaptable as well, helping me deal with a prolonged power outage due to heavy storms. I can’t recommend her enough!
Sophia did an outstanding job, the communication was timely and professional, and my 3 cats really appreciated her. She was able to handle medications with ease and followed all instructions. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family and would book again 100%!!!!
Amanda did a wonderful job caring for our 2 senior cats while we were on vacation! One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin shots, so we were happy that Amanda was able to accommodate our cat’s feeding and injection schedule. Amanda is very kind and communicative, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a local 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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Woodridge on Rover is $20.33 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 12,912 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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
