About: Hi, I’m Halley! I’ve always been around dogs growing up and I also have my own. I have many years of experience taking care of dogs while family or friends have been out of town. I have been around small dogs and big dogs, so I am comfortable with any size. I’m always accepting new clients! As I do have a part time job, I’m usually only available on the weekends. If my schedule changes or I am available, I will always update my calendar. I currently live in a house but do not have a fence. I do have a patio that goes outside though. I will gladly send you pictures or video updates of your pup!
“Ashley and Ashley go since and beyond to care for our babies! They even brought packages in, took trash out that we had forgotten, and food an extra visit when Benny’s separation anxiety was bad.❤️”
“This is the second time Melissa has watched our bunnies and she was always on time, communicated well, and took excellent care of our babies. We couldn’t ask for more!”
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to birds and horses since I was a young girl. My neighbors have trusted me with pet care for years. I most recently have been working for a pet sitting company in North Carolina before moving to Virginia and received multiple five star reviews. I can assure you your pets will be well taken care of as I treat them as they are my own. I currently have a full time job with two to three full days off and lots of flexibility during the mornings and late evenings to stop in and do visits. I care for pets in my client’s home and I treat them as my own by making sure they get plenty of attention and playtime. I will take care of the animal’s needs like they are my pets keeping their health and safety my priority.
“She was an amazing sitter. Went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of. Always sent me pictures after every visit and responded very fast to any messages I had. Would definitely book again”
About: I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, so I know how much they mean to your family — and how much peace of mind you need when you're away. I'm new to pet sitting professionally, but I've spent years caring for my own pets and helping friends and neighbors with theirs, from daily walks to overnight stays. I'm patient and attentive, and I treat every dog like my own — sticking to their routine, giving plenty of exercise, and sending photo updates so you always know how they're doing. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a walk, or staying overnight, I'll make sure your pet feels safe and loved the whole time you're gone. Happy to do a meet-and-greet first so we can all get comfortable before booking! I work full-time on a set schedule, so pet care fits neatly around it. I'm available for walks and drop-ins before 8am, over lunch, and after 5pm on weekdays. Evenings and overnights are wide open for house sitting, so your dog always has company when it matters most. Safety and routine come first, always in your pet's own home. During walks and drop-ins, I stick closely to their schedule, keep a close eye on leashes, gates, and doors, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same care as your pet — keeping things tidy and secure, sticking to their feeding and routine, and sending regular updates and photos so you're never left wondering how things are going.
About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!
About: Hi! My name is Ramona. I grew up in Clinton, Oklahoma, and my first job was on an alpaca farm while I was in high school, where I fed them three times a week. I graduated from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, in May 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and a minor in foreign languages. Feel free to ask me anything! I ran two half marathons in 2025: the Taylor Swift Fun Run and the Spooky Sprint in Lee’s Summit. I love going on long walks, and unfortunately, because of my lifestyle, I can’t have a dog right now. I’d love the opportunity to watch your fur baby’s though! I would be consistently responsible, highly respectful, and proactively communicative with your space. I truly appreciate very clear communication when it comes to understanding and meeting my clients’ preferences.
About: I have had a passion and love for animals since I was a child. So much so, that I went on to earn my bachelors degree in animal behavior. My home is a pet friendly clean household with a very large fenced in backyard ready for your pets to enjoy. When you are away on vacation or for work, it can be tough for pets to be away from their owners, so it’s my job to make it the best experience for them! This is more than just a Rover booking, your pet will have the experience of a lifetime when you book with me 🩷🩵 Am Fear Free Certified ✅ I work from home! So I will have plently of time to watch and care for your pets. My work is very laid back so barking and normal pet noises are not an issue. I have a protected large fenced in backyard for your pet/s to enjoy! I love playing with the pups and cuddling with the cats, if they allow! I also provide pets with their own personal space should they need that, after all every pet is different however they will be loved and protected all the same. 💕I am also Fear-Free Certified !
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two cats of my own & previously owned a medium sized dog. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! I work mornings and am typically off by noon, so I have plenty of availability for pet care in the afternoons and evenings. I occasionally have afternoon appointments, but my schedule is flexible and I’ll always communicate my availability in advance. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m attentive, patient, and respectful of your home, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, attention, and love while you’re away.
About: •Experienced with small and medium-sized dogs •Comfortable administering basic medications (oral/topical) •Great with high-energy dogs who need structured walks •Patient with shy or anxious pups •Used to keeping consistent feeding schedules Since I work remotely, your pup won’t be left alone all day. I’m home and present, which means more supervision, more potty breaks, and more attention. You can expect: •Flexible scheduling •Plenty of playtime and structured walks •Consistent feeding and medication routines (if needed) •Frequent photo and video updates 📸 •A calm, safe, and loving environment
“Laura was great with our cat. Laura’s communication was great during the drop-ins checks we need for our cat. The pictures she sent really made me happy. My husband and I felt safe with Laura in our home and came back home to a happy cat☺️ I hope we can book her again.”
About: I've taken care of pets from dogs to lizards since I was 12, and have been doing drop-ins and house-sitting for family, friends, and my community for as long as I've been able to drive. I'm able to give meds for older dogs with more needs, and have trained my own dogs well in obedience training, so I have plenty of experience with a firm voice for more unruly dogs that need a little extra attention. I'm good with all animals (even the wild ones), and have experience caring for animals that need to stay separated, and am willing and able to adapt to any family I need. I currently am between jobs, the only duty I have is taking care of my own pets (amd occasionally younger siblings) so I have plenty of time to look after and care for pets I have a gentle hand and a firm voice, and have experience with obedience-training dogs particularly, and have faith in my ability to care for even the more unruly of pets. I am comfortable with crate-training and crate-trained dogs, as well as shutting them in their own room when no one is present in the home. I also have good leash experience, so walks would be easy and comfortable for me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yorkville
Aley totally saved me today. When my (existing) sitter had a medical emergency and couldn’t get to my pups for a number of hours, Aley responded on a moments notice to check on them. I’m so grateful for her help. Aley is remarkable. There’s no one I trust more to care for Khaleesi and Ajax.
Katherine did a great job taking care of Zeus while I was away. She was very caring and sent pictures at every drop-in visit, which I really appreciated and gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. She was reliable, communicated well, and I could tell Zeus was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her.
We love Ashley so much and so do our cats! The peace of mind that comes with a trustworthy pet sitter like Ashley is nearly priceless. We were recently on a cruise with extremely limited WiFi when we got a direct text from Ashley instead of the usual message in the Rover app. There was a minor issue with one of the cats getting into the cabinet where the cat food is kept, and the cats made a huge mess. Everyone was fine and Ashley cleaned up the mess. We really appreciated that she tried every method available to reach out to us to let us know about the incident. And she even went back over to our house to make sure all the cat food was in a better hiding spot!! TL;DR don’t hesitate to book with Ashley!
Miesha was wonderful with my big babies. They loved her immediately from the start of our meet and greet. She made sure to play with my hyper active baby and get a wonderful photo of the lazy one in one of her favorite spots lol. She was definitely a great choice to watch my babies.
Emily is dependable and trustworthy. We are very pleased with how she cared for our dog while we were away. She arrived on time and followed instructions we gave her, ensuring our dog getting her medicine, food and outdoor time. Our dog experienced separation anxiety that she won’t eat meals, Emily communicated honestly what is exactly happening at home, instead of just reporting good news. This allowed us to give the right kind of feedback/tip to her so that our dog started eating. Emily truly care for the wellbeing of dogs under her supervision. I would highly recommend Emily to care for your dogs.
This was my first time utilizing ROVER! I had a last minute trip come up. I came across Samantha, and I can’t say enough positive things about her. She is responsive, patient, sweet, kind and loving.. I have four dogs she took care of, and she always kept me updated. I highly recommend Samantha 🤗🐕🐾🦴🐶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Yorkville is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 November 2026, there are 2,227 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Yorkville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
