“Zoe took great care of Libby during our seven day vacation. She was punctual, communicated and sent pictures with daily updates. She was sensitive to Libby's anxiety and was proactive in treating it. We would definitely recommend Zoe for your pet's needs.”
“Sarah was amazing!! She responded quickly to my request and was a great communicator! She sent pictures and gave updates during her stay with our two dogs. She was so sweet and flexible. We would highly recommend her!! We felt 100% at ease with her staying at our house with our Goldendoodle and Bernadoodle!! We will definitely be using her in the future! Thanks so much Sarah!!”
“Olivia was wonderful with our pups while we were out of town. She was prompt with responding to any questions I had leading up the day of our departure, and was communicative while we were gone. She also sent me pictures of our dogs which was nice to see. She meshed really well with our dogs during a meet and greet so I had no doubt they’d warm up to her. She was also very generous in tidying up things like dishes, folding up any blankets used on the couch, and watered the plants for me. I am looking forward to booking her again!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
“Aliyah was very professional and Tiger was happy when we got home. She was helpful with all that I asked. I am not sure if she took Tiger on any walks, but that might have been because of the weather.”
“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”
“Abby did a great job taking care of our dog Gunner and our house while we were on vacation for a week. She was always responsive and professional with communication, from the first outreach until the end of our trip. Abby also texted pictures of him a few times, and he looked happy and relaxed, which helped to reassure us of his well-being. We'd definitely have Abby come over again!”
About: I had take care of dogs my whole live and I also took a class in college called Animal Control which describes the behavior of dogs and cats and the proper care and hygene at shelters and hospitals. I took care of poodles and terriers since 2012. I had dogs as pets all my life but since 2012 I did not own because I move out from Peru to New York. I can walked dogs,feed,play and show some tricks. In 2019, I decided to move to Plainfield,Indiana.I really liked living here and I would like to help clients with their busy schedule and make their life easy. I'm currently living in Chicago with my husband. Let’s do a meet and greet! I want to make plenty of furry friends as possible in Chicago 😊 I have a flexible schedule for now. I’m free on the early mornings and late afternoons. Available on the weekends and holidays or for vacations. It all depends of the routine your pet has. I try my best to accommodate my clients to make them feel like they are home and have peace if mind is my priority.
About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth, and I’m a dedicated dog lover with over seven years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking! Growing up with dogs, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry family members while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. As a dog parent myself, I understand the value of personalized, attentive care—giving your pup the love, exercise, and attention they deserve rather than a kennel stay. I work flexible hours doing marketing/promotional jobs a few days a week, but I am home most of the time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and care. I am available mornings and evenings daily and around lunch time some days. Letting me know your pets normal routine will help me make sure I am available during those times. I have a friendly older English bulldog who loves playing with new dog friends. He doesn’t always come with me and doesn’t have to if I have any in home stays where the animals don’t like other dogs in the home.
About: I’ve have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I have taken care of animals as young as a puppy and senior dogs. I have also cared for small animals. I work from home on Mondays. I do work in office Tuesday through Friday but home on the weekends with full availability. I do have help at home so someone is always present to take dogs out to potty! My dogs do have a fenced in backyard and can run and play. I can walk dogs if needed. I also can take care of fish and small animals. I have two Guinea pigs at home!
“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”
“Ashlee was great with our 2 goldendoodles. She showed up early, gave our dogs plenty of loving and left our house as she found it. Our dogs were sad to see her go and would 100% recommend her!”
“Megan did an amazing job! Took notes and was flexible to every need and preference, pictures and updates regularly, and my minions clearly had a lot of fun! Highly recommend and will be requesting again for my future dog sitting! Thanks Megan!!!”
About: I’ve always had pets in my life, from dogs to cats, and they mean the world to me. With two pups of my own, I know how important it is to provide love, patience, and attentive care. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day to give pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll be there to keep them happy and cared for while you’re away.” When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them just as I would my own. I make sure to follow all routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I also give plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I keep the home environment tidy, respect the client’s space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure both the pets and their owners feel confident and cared for throughout the entire experience.
“Reliable, thorough and kind! Damica took care of Rocky and our house while we were away on vacation and sent multiple pictures everyday without prompting. It felt relieving to know our dog was in great hands.”
“Christopher was a great communicator. He sent us photos and updates. I was nervous Bailey would think we are second fiddle when we got back. Bailey is exhausted after his weekend of fun with Christopher.”
“Michaela did an amazing dog with our dog and cat. Our cat was just getting over a sickness and our dog was adopted one week before she came to sit for us. She eased this anxious pet parents mind and sent me updates daily on our sweet boys. We will definitely be booking again in the future ☺️”
“Heather was awesome with our lab, Matilda. We felt totally comfortable with her and this made our overnight more enjoyable. Heather was patient with Matilda and went the extra mile when Tilds was being stubborn. We will definitely book Heather again and recommend her highly.”

As always, Tammy took great care of Seraphina and Elsa and sent me the sweetest pictures of them while I was gone. I hate leaving my baby girls, but knowing Tammy is taking great care of them makes it so much easier knowing they’re in great hands and they both love Tammy so much
Tracy was absolutely fantastic! She cared so well for our fur baby and kept us up to date with texts and frequent photos / videos. Our pup doesn’t do well with fireworks, so we were a little nervous to leave him over the Fourth. Tracy let us know how he was doing and able to administer his anxiety meds when necessary. Louie was so well cared for and we were kept updated with the best videos. We will definitely be using Tracy again!
Kylie was great with our two dogs! She was flexible scheduling a meet and greet with us, and communicated promptly the whole time. We received photos while we were away, and came back to the house just as we had left it. I would absolutely recommend Kylie for anyone looking for a pet sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Alfont is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $82 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Alfont 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 Alfont 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 Alfont 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
