“Our dog is nervous around new people and this was our first time using a pet sitter. Samantha provided daily updates with photos of Sage. It was great seeing that he felt comfortable with Samantha. He was happy and healthy when we returned. I will definitely use her again for future trips.”
“Sara is wonderful! Easy to communicate with, sent me plenty of pictures that showed not only that my baby was doing well, but that she was being her normal self and doing her normal routines. If your pet is your family you can trust Sara will treat them that way!”

“Michael was the perfect pet and house sitter for my weeklong trip out of the country. Lots of communication and he treated my two dogs and my house as his own. They liked him from their very first meeting and I could tell from the many pics and videos he sent that they were in good hands. Will definitely use him again.”
About: Your pet will be like one of my children we will run , play and watch tv together and most importantly snuggle time is my favorite we have plenty of dog/cat toys and treats for your furry family member there will be no worries while I have your pet with me I have a huge yard ! Where they can get plenty of exercise . I have a big home also where they can also run around and play all day we love pets here at the Lewis house so no worries while i provide care for your pet and I will take and send you plenty of picture while we have our time together. Since I work from home on my own schedule I have nothing but time ! Your pet will have a great time with me ! Our whole house is partially fenced so it’s plenty of space for your fur baby to run and play with our fur baby and have fun.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly care about getting to know each pet as an individual. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to give your pets the extra attention they deserve. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I also love keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. My goal is simple: for your pets to have a fun, comfortable experience and for you to feel completely confident knowing they’re being cared for. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m dependable, organized, and enjoy making time to give pets the attention and care they need. I’m happy to work walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and cuddles into my schedule while following each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I plan ahead so I can be consistent and present during each visit, rather than rushing through care. I also make time to send pet parents updates and photos, helping you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I like to think of pet sitting as stepping into a pet’s world without disrupting it. I pay attention to the small details—their favorite spot to nap, the sound they make when they want attention, the toys they ignore, and the routines that help them feel at ease. My goal is to make your absence feel as uneventful as possible for them. During each visit, I’ll follow your instructions carefully while adding plenty of patience, playtime, affection, walks, meals, fresh water, litter box care, and whatever else your pet needs. I won’t treat the visit like a quick checklist; I’ll take the time to notice how your pet is doing and respond to their personality and mood. I’ll also leave your home even better than I found it and keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos—not just proof that I stopped by, but little glimpses of how your pet is spending their day.
“Amaya was great with my dog Maddie, who is a very strong pit bull. I also appreciated her willingness to accommodate my schedule even though it meant arriving early one morning and staying late one night.”
“From the very first day Jessica displayed an exemplary level of trust, care and individual attention with our two cats. My husband and I have done some traveling over the past year. The most stressful aspects by far have been finding a pet sitter for our two cats and being able to trust the sitter to carry out the somewhat nuanced aspects of care they require. If you are anything like us, you view your furry loved ones as nuanced snowflakes which can lead to constant worrying about whether the individual watching them really cares for them the way that you do. Jessica’s adherence to instructions and open communication allowed us to relax and know our cats were in good hands from the very first day. She provided great pictures and updates in a timely matter. It was clear that Jessica’s energy was nurturing and attentive as every single picture showed our two cats looking beyond content. They even seemed to be getting along in a way that surprised us! This was surely due to her calming demeanor and loving attention which we felt from the moment we met her. When we returned home after about 10 days it was like our cats didn’t even realize we were gone, which while somewhat annoying to us(🤭), was such an incredible sign! They were loved and cared for in our absence and that is all we could want. Our home was left clean and organized with nothing out of place. Awesome. With Jessica, we feel like we can travel with peace of mind knowing that our precious pets are in the best of hands as well as our home which is truly special. We could not recommend her more highly. Thank you Jessica!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I've helped with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm attentive to each dog's personal routine and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and clear communications with pet owners! Pets care fits naturally into my routine. As a collage student, I have a flexible schedule, with classes only three days out of the week for a very short time. This allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and quality time with pets. When caring for pets in a clients home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications (if needed), exercise, and special care requirements. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while respecting their individual boundaries. I also treat every home with the utmost respect by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I'll provide regular photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while your away!
“We’ve used Genna a couple of times for housesitting our dogs and she has been great. Good communication and photos/updates which help make us feel more at ease while we are away knowing that the dogs are in good hands. Our dogs can be a handful around strangers, but both took to her quickly and she was very good with them. We would definitely use Genna’s services again.”

“Great with my dogs, cats, and lizards!! Yes, lizards! Alicia sent photos and videos every day several times a day while we took our kids to Chicago for the long weekend.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Yorkville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Yorkville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Yorkville 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yorkville. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
