Fully fenced in yard to play fetch in and run around I’m currently a stay at home dog dad so they will never be left alone, always ready to take outside and let play with toys.

About: Hi! I’m Lilly, a reliable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur child when going away, so let me reassure you that they are in great hands. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I’ll keep you updated and your pet comfortable. Let’s connect! I currently work from home, allowing me to take breaks when needed to walk and care for your pet. I am able to keep up with their normal routines of feeding, walk, play time or cuddles! With 3 pets of my own, I know that it is hard not to worry about them while you’re away. I try to ensure that the pet is as comfortable as possible. Caring for a pet in their homes ensures that they feel safe, secure while also being more open to an outside visitor. I want to make you and your pet feel at ease when I’m caring for them as I would my own!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Experienced all ages and kinds. I’m also experienced in cat care as well as kittens. I’ve raised livestock since age 10! I relish human connections, but I have a deep passion for connecting with animals. I am highly adaptable when it comes to caring for your furry companion. I have a cat who needs his own space. I live in a large house with multiple levels and rooms, and I’m more than willing to make adjustments to accommodate him. My cat takes medication daily, and I’m knowledgeable about animal behavior.
About: I have been around many different kinds of animals growing up. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other small rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working another job full time in the afternoons but I am happy and eager to accept any visits from the early morning until 12:30pm. Overnight visits are also available if I am able to have at least a weeks notice, thank you! Note: I cannot accept requests from clients that live on or near dirt roads in the winter as my car cannot make it through! As your pet sitter it’s my goal to make sure your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I would love to know their routines and personalities so I can care for them as best as possible! All animals in the home need to be included in the request! Cats bunnies and smaller animals in the home during overnight stays must be included in your request.
“Eden has walked my dog several times, and I couldn’t be happier with the care provided. Eden is reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I always appreciate the updates and photos from the walks, which give me peace of mind knowing my dog is happy and well cared for. Eden is also very flexible and accommodating with scheduling, making the entire experience easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Eden to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring dog walker.”

About: As a young female I have cared for many family pets, so I’ve experienced every stage from puppies to seniors. I provide reliable, structured care whether it’s keeping dogs active with frequent neighborhood walks, taking a nap with them, or just coming to check up on your furbaby if that’s all you need! I currently work about 15 hours a week so I should have plenty of time to give your dog the care he or she needs! I don’t mind sitting during the day or night whatever would make you know your pet is safe. Whether in your home or mine, I like to maintain constant supervision and ensure all dogs will be okay. I use sturdy leashes for every walk and stay highly alert to our surroundings to avoid any high stress interactions with other animals or people for those sensitive dogs. I also like to make sure your animal eats and feel comfortable enough to make sure they get the proper nutrition.

“Jackson was a terrific dog walker. He walked my high energy dog several times a week for an extended period while I recovered and could not. It ended up being longer than I originally thought it would be and he was very reliable, willing and punctual throughout. I would definitely use him again.”

About: Hi! I'm the type of dog lover that will roll down my window and say things like, "Awww look at that good, sweet pup. You're such a good dog." if I see a dog with its head out the window. 🤣 I see a dog out walking, I have to meet it. Go to a dog shelter? I'm no longer allowed there - I want to bring them all home! Anyways, I absolutely adore dogs and know that they are family members who deserve love, time and proper care! My husband and I have 4 dogs that we love to run around in the backyard with and take for walks! We have a Bichon named Buddy who is 13, a St Bernard Mix named Sadie who is 11, a mini aussie named Kali who is 10, and another mini Aussie mix named Nora who is 3. They are the best of friends and the greatest companions through the highs and lows of life. I've also pet sat for friends and family over the years, including caring for cows! I am an animal lover, but dogs hold the largest piece of my heart. I would absolutely love to come and walk/play with your fur baby! My schedule is completely flexible! I'm here to make sure everything runs on your schedule! I'm currently working part time from home and create my own schedule. I run my own business and will always put your schedule and your pups first! Monday-Friday are absolutely free from 9am-5pm with nights available occasionally during the school year. Nights available now, until Aug 31st. I do not offer in home boarding at this time unless it is a small puppy. With 4 dogs and 2 kids, we have a full house already! I will stay at your house overnight if needed! Within your home, I care for your pets exactly how you ask + lots of extra love and pets and cuddles. Showing up when you need me to and staying the length of time you need is very important to me as I know it is for you and your pets as well. Their well-being and happiness will always be at the forefront.
About: Hello! I am a second year veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I am home in MI with my parents for the summer, so I’d love to care for your pet(s) while you’re away. I have experience with dogs and cats of all temperaments and energy levels. I am also Fear Free certified, so I pride myself on providing comfortable visits. I will be in the Battle Creek area from June through August. Come August, I will be in the Champaign, IL area. My daily/weekly schedule is fairly open as I do not have a current job. My pets are allowed on furniture. However, I will respect whatever rules you have in place with your pet. I tend to do an outside break every 2-4 hours depending on weather, but in the summer most days are spent outside. I feed my dog on a 2 meal schedule, but can accommodate the pet(s) normal meal routines.
“Gabrielle was wonderful and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their dogs! She was even willing to go out of her way to come over on her lunch break one of the days to let my dogs go potty! I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Yorkville. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Yorkville. On Rover:
- 98% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
