“Maegan was fantastic! She showed up on time, everytime which is far different than sitters we have had previously. She was great with our dogs and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her visits! Strongly recommend her!”
“Valerie is the only rover sitter I've ever worked with and honestly I never want to switch to a new person. She is FANTASTIC! So patient with my very nervous pup and gives her love like she is her own. I wish I could give 10 stars!”
“Very happy with Sophia’s care of Leo! We were away for a long time, and it was reassuring to know he was being well looked after. Will definitely book Sophia again. Thank you!”
“Always so thankful for Hillary taking such good care of our pet when away. She is dependable and responsive and always makes me feel at ease when having to leave our pet.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care Justine provided while we were away! She went above and beyond to ensure our kitties felt safe, loved, and comfortable in our absence. From thoughtful updates and adorable photos to her genuine affection and attention to detail, it was clear our kitties were in the best hands. We came home to relaxed, happy cats—and a perfectly maintained home. Truly exceptional service—we wholeheartedly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life and worked as a professional pet sitter for over 3 years. I can’t wait to meet your sweet animals! At the moment, I am currently only available on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) but can be available some evenings as well upon request (6pm-9pm). My dog is leashed or on a lead while outdoors as my property is not currently fenced. She requires lots of exercise so we live a very active lifestyle.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, including my current doodle. I especially enjoy doodles and other low-shedding breeds, and I know their curly coats need a little extra attention. What sets me apart: • Coat care on every walk. I check for burrs, tangles, and mats, and I’ll wipe muddy paws and legs before your pup comes back inside. • Flexible daytime availability. I’m home during the day, so midday walks and last-minute requests are easy for me. • Updates you’ll love. Photos and a quick note after every walk so you know how your dog did. • Personal attention. I keep a small client list so every dog gets my full focus, never rushed group walks. • Reliable and local. I’m part of the community, and I treat your dog the way I’d want mine treated. I also understand the Doodle quirks! I’m home most days, which makes it easy to fit your dog into my routine. My schedule is flexible and I can usually accommodate last-minute requests. A typical week: • Weekday mornings: Available 7:00 a.m.-11 a.m. for early walks or potty breaks • Midday: My most open time, perfect for lunchtime walks while you’re at work • Afternoons: Available until 3 p.m. • Weekends: Available by request / limited availability On every walk: • Leash on at all times, and I double-check collars and harnesses before heading out • I stick to safe, familiar routes and avoid busy roads, unknown dogs, and hot pavement or icy patches • I watch for signs your dog is tired, overheated, or uncomfortable and adjust the pace • I carry waste bags, and unless there’s an emergency, I never walk on my phone, I’m paying attention to your dog! Peace of mind for you: • I’ll follow your instructions exactly (no matter how silly they may seem!), including feeding, treats, and any no-go areas • I keep your home secure: doors locked, keys and codes kept private • You’ll get a photo and update after every visit, including as much detail as you would like. • I’m happy to do a free Meet & Greet first so you and your pup can get to know me I treat every dog the way I’d want my own family treated, and I’ll always reach out right away if anything seems off.
“We had a great experience with our new dog sitter, Sonya! She did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, making sure he was fed, walked and given plenty of attention and playtime. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She was reliable, caring and went above and beyond. Thank you, Sonya!”
About: Throughout my life I have always had either a cat or dog as pets and have always enjoyed taking care of them. As a dog owner myself, I have a deep appreciation and respect for all breeds which allows me to really bond with them. My patient manner allows them to become comfortable with me very quickly and really provides for a better experience for both myself and the pet being looked after. I have taken care of many different types of breeds and sizes which allows me the knowledge of taking great care of them so you have the peace of mind that your baby is well loved and cared for while away. From puppies to seniors, I am able to handle them all. I am also not shy to dietary restrictions and specific instructions you may have. Hi, I'm Hannah I'm a Frederick local and lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they're my own. A little about me: · Proud Frederick local — I know and love this community. · Pet parent to a Boxer-Border Collie mix, so I'm no stranger to energy, smarts, and big personalities · Animal lover through and through — I've never met a pet I didn't adore. Why book with me: · Trustworthy — you can count on me to be reliable and honest · Responsible — I take your pet's routine, safety, and happiness seriously · Friendly — I'll make sure you and your pet both feel comfortable and cared for · Respectful — of your home, your pet's needs, and your instructions My promise: Your animals will be treated like my own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine, so your pets get consistent, reliable attention. I'm up early every morning — no sleeping in around here. My own dog is usually the reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way. That early start means morning walks, feedings, and drop-in visits are easy for me to work into my day. I'm currently in between jobs and heading back to school, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of open time during the day. Pet care is a great fit for this season of my life — it works around my classes, and it gives me something I genuinely enjoy doing with my time. I'm married, and together we share our home with our own dog — a Boxer-Border Collie mix. We're also hoping to add another dog to the family soon, so I understand the excitement and the responsibility that comes with a full house of animals. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I have the time, the flexibility, and the heart for it. Your pets will get the same care, attention, and routine I give my own. I have a fenced in backyard, walking trails, and plenty of space in my home to host your furry friends. Security system is also active and I am home throughout the day.
About: Howdy! I'm Nicole, a certified professional dog trainer and lifelong dog enthusiast. My world has always been filled with canines and a love for understanding behavior. This fueled my passion for learning about dog training, and obtaining a degree in Psychology. With 10+ years of professional experience, you can rest assured that when your pup is with me — it’s receiving the best care available. I have thousands of hours under my belt from volunteering at shelters with dogs since the 6th grade, graduating from a Canine Behavior Apprentice Program, earning my CPDT-KA, and specializing as a Master in Aggression. This has allowed me to become highly skilled with handling a variety of breeds and behaviors; from leash-reactive walkers to cuddly couch potatoes. I’m a fan of them all ♥️ I'm not just a trainer; I'm also a dedicated caregiver. I’m trained in Red Cross Pet First Aid, and my own dog has glaucoma. I've cared for deaf dogs, and dogs recovering after leg injuries. This taught me the ins and outs of special care. So administering meds or eye drops? No problem! Your furry family member's time with me means fun, safety, and lots of learning. Whether it's reinforcing good habits or just enjoying playtime, I've got it covered. Let's make your dog's next walk - or drop-in visit, a tail-wagging adventure! I’ll be walking dogs in between my hours as the assistant manager of America’s VetDogs Service Dog Prison Puppy Program. I love walking and am happy to help others get their dogs out and exercised. Safety is a top priority for me. I always make sure that I am present, and focused on the current moment, to ensure that a dog is safe in my hands. As well as double checking gear to make sure everything is secure before use. Due to my experience with aggressive dogs, I understand the importance of situational awareness with any pet — and keep an eye to make sure the environment we’re walking in is safe as well.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising a dog from 9 weeks old to his current 13 years. I’ve been there every step of the way, from puppyhood to adulthood and senior years. Plus, my dog tore his ACL, so I know firsthand the challenges of keeping your pet safe and out of harm’s way, along with the need for special care and instructions. I am currently a senior student athlete in college with a flexible schedule. I wanted to find a part-time job that I would actually enjoy, and I have always loved being near animals. Coming back home to my dog is always the highlight of my trip, so being near dogs and getting to see the joy on their faces has always made me smile. I think pets are happiest when they’re in their own space, so I’d rather work at someone else’s home. Plus, getting to know the dog and the pet owners will really help everyone feel more comfortable.
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs in my home and have taken care of them since I can remember. I also frequently pet sit for my neighbors and have been for just about 5 years now! I have a couple families I regularly pet sit for now, so if you need someone to take care of your pups or kitties while your away, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’m currently a student and working part time. I work Mondays and Wednesdays 3-8pm, and babysit from 8am-2pm on Tuesday and Thursday. My weekends are totally free!! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. In my clients home, I strive to provide the best possible care for your Fur Babies. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s diet, medication, or house rules, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands!
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for many years and currently have two senior dogs of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and consistency pets need to feel comfortable and safe. I have experience with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and the extra care that comes with older dogs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and respect their boundaries, especially with senior, shy, or anxious pets. When staying in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, keep the home secure, and provide regular updates so owners can feel comfortable while they’re away.
About: Hello, I’m so excited to become a dog sitter & walker on rover! I have always been a huge dog fan. I have had a small yorkie ever sense I was young. My sister has a big dog who I also enjoy being around! I am currently college student training to become a nurse! I’m looking for a seasonal job for over the summer!

“She did an excellent job. Our dog (Remy) loved her, and when we left he didn't even understand fetch really but when we got back he was happy to play fetch with us. If you want quality care Aaliyah is a good pick! We're really grateful she came through for us!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodridge
We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,748 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
