“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Susan. She is so incredibly kind and caring. Maggie absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives. She’s also been super flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciate. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing Maggie is in such good hands. We highly recommend Susan 😊”

About: I love interacting with pets and getting to know their personalities! I'm getting over the loss of my dog, and taking care of your fur baby will give me the love I'm missing from mine. I'm currently working in management full-time, I have flexibility to take half days and can be available M-F 3pm-8pm. I'm free almost every weekend 5am-7pm or overnight boarding in my home. I have a zip line to tether to if needed, my yard is not fenced in. I live in a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic; it's a dead end street. I'm happy to crate your pet if needed. I am willing to explore local dog parks if permitted. I also enjoy longer walks if your pup is up for it! I can let your pet out for potty breaks several times a day and provide play time, too. I'm happy to follow any specific training protocols you are working through for consistency!
“Rachel was excellent with our kitties. They were content, well fed and their litter box was spotless. They give a big thumbs up for Rachel and want her to come back!!! Thank you so much, Rachel!”
About: I have had dogs all my life. I’ve watched family and friends pets since I was a kid and have always wanted a house full of dogs! I currently have 2 dogs. A senior and a puppy so I have experience with all ages and breeds. I’m not working and currently walk my puppy 2-3 times per day. My pup loves other dogs and would love some company on walks and play! I walk my senior dog once a day and my puppy 2-3 times per day depending on the weather. I’m always looking for new games and activities to do with them and have lots of time to do so!
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!
“Kimberly was amazing. She did drop in visits for a week for my two dogs and took excellent care of them. She is professional, courteous and communicative. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Shannon for taking care of Milo and Chief this week! Your promptness and reliability really relieved worry for me on how long the dogs would be in the crates without a break. I appreciate the daily walks! Thanks again! You’re definitely recommend and I’ll reach out to you again when needed!”

About: I'm a country kid from Illinois, through and through! I've been around horses, cats, dogs, even fish – you name it! Used to work my tail off as a Kennel/Daycare Attendant at an animal hospital, and now I'm the go-to house and pet sitter for my fam and some church buddies! From German Shepherds to goofy mutts, I've had 'em all growing up. Honestly, animals? They're my passion! Sometimes I think I love 'em more than people, haha!

“Erin was the best person to choose for the job! She is a wonderful person who took excellent care of our cats while we were away for a week. She played with them, cleaned their boxes, and maintained their feeders/waters. She was even able to get our shy cat to come out. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Eliana was absolutely amazing with Duke. This was my first time using Rover and Duke had only been home for a few days, so I was honestly a little nervous — but she went above and beyond and made the entire experience stress-free. She was extremely attentive, followed all instructions, and kept me updated with messages, pictures, and videos which I really appreciated. What really stood out was her initiative — when she couldn’t reach me, she made sure Duke was still taken care of without hesitation, even going as far as getting him food. She also got Duke puppy training treats and a toy (a blue whale) that he now loves more than all his other toys — which really shows how much she paid attention to him and cared for him. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. Duke was happy, safe, and well taken care of the entire time. I would 100% book with Eliana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and truly dedicated.”

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 Yorkville 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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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 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.
