“Trinity was a life saver. Our house-sitter left early and locked one of our cats in the room and trinity was able to come over for a drop in last minute. She cared for our cats, sent lots of pictures and gave them all the love that we weren't able to while away. We weren't able to meet and greet before hand but during the conversation she just made us feel like she had our home and cats in our best interest! Definitely booking her for regular drop ins.”

About: Full-time dog walker & house sitter in Joliet, IL, focused on reliable, structured care. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy dogs that need more than a quick bathroom walk, as well as senior pets who benefit from patience, consistency, and calm handling. My goal is simple: keep your pet’s routine stable and send clear updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I currently have full-time flexibility. I’m available mornings, midday, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I structure my day around your pet’s needs to ensure consistent attention and reliable service. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions carefully and maintain your pet’s normal routine for feeding, exercise, and medications. I prioritize safety, secure leashing, proper entry and exit protocols, and close supervision at all times. Your home is treated with respect, and your pet’s well-being is my first priority.

About: What sets me apart for other sitters is that I have them enjoy their walks at their own pace. In my years of experience, I have not only taken care of dogs but also cats just to name a few. Every animal is unique in their own way so being kind goes a long way. I like to have the owners as well as the dogs comfortable with me so I obtain as much information from the owners regarding their furry friends as I can. I am currently free to play, drop-in or bring your furry baby home with me. Whatever your pets needs are, I am here to help. I have a big backyard where I normally allow the dogs to run and play. But it does not have a fence in one area where the driveway begins. My home has two floors which the downstairs I use for the dogs to lay down, play or sleep. I do own a dog myself but she isn't allowed to interact with guests dogs unless previously approved by the guests parents first. I also have cameras, where I can capture video and photos to send to the pet parents.

About: Dogs are a gift from heaven. I have a gift of love for dogs. My dogs mean the world to me. They are everything. When ever I see someone walking their dog I say hi to the dog! I am patient and caring. I believe dogs need that because just like us they have feelings and triggers. I understand each dog is different and I will most certainly adapt to your dogs needs. And of course give plenty of snoot kisses. I am the type of dog lover to lay on the ground with your dog, have conversations and send plenty of pictures and updates to you 🧡 I work a part time job from 5am to 10am. And the rest of the day is for the dogs and whatever they need! Frequent potty breaks and long walks I have unfenced 3 acres and quiet streets and walking trails for exercise and a 7 year old boxer Shepard mix who loves to play. My dog and any dog are allowed on furniture unless you suggest otherwise. I love to walk or wven run long distance. My doggo baylee and I love to 8 miles most days.

About: Hi, I’m Mia! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years through dog walking, pet sitting, and daily care. I truly believe every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m located in the South Suburbs of Chicago and proudly serve dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and administering medications when needed. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide reliable walks, drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and personalized care based on your pet’s routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, learning new skills, or simply relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them happiest. Safety, patience, and communication are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets active and engaged, and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and my goal is simple: to make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, loved, and stress free in their own environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walks, drop in visits, feeding times, and playtime so each pet receives consistent attention and care throughout the day or week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their normal routine. This includes feeding schedules, walks, medication if needed, cleaning up after pets, refreshing water, and keeping their environment safe, clean, and comfortable. I also make sure doors and leashes are secured and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to ensure they are safe and relaxed while their owner is away.

Cynthia definitely helped us out in a pinch!! Our flight was quite delayed and she was able to help us out! The peace of mind knowing that we didn't have to worry about the dogs was so very appreciated!! We've used Cynthia more than once for overnight stays, and this was the first drop-in. We will definitely use her again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Yorkville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Yorkville is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $24 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,387 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Yorkville. 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.

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!

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.

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Yorkville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yorkville. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
