“Kiersten is absolutely phenomenal and did an unbelievable job with handling our family’s dogs and cat! She kept them well fed, gave picture updates, and did an immaculate job of keeping up our house. We returned to a very clean and orderly house with extremely happy pets. She is very friendly and gentle with pets and truly goes the extra mile. I will plan on contacting Kiersten for all of my housesitting and pet care needs in the future!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She housesat for our two pups who don’t do well being alone. She gave them lots of attention and treats. She sent many updates and was very communicative the entire time. She followed all of our instructions and made sure the dogs were taken care of. She was great to work with throughout the entire process of coordinating a meet and greet and confirming all of the details for sitting in advance. We would absolutely use Ashley again!”

“Renee was awesome. She took care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were away. Our doggies loved her! She’ll be our first one to contact whenever the same situation occurs again. A million thanks to her!”
“Sadie took great care of our pups! She was reliable, the dogs loved her, and we felt at ease that they were well taken care of while out of town. We would book with her again!”

About: Dog owner since 2nd grade. As well as multiple dog experiences with all different types of dogs. Love taking care and having fun with them! I am currently a student at University of Illinois Chicago studying Integrated Health Science, Pre-Nursing. Although I have classes every week day, all of my classes end before 4pm which gives me a lot of time to spend with pets! I am able to do all the required task that has been asked. As well as being able to entertain the pet! I do have a car with clean driving experiences.
“Skyler was awesome! She communicated well and responded quickly. Augie loved playing and spending time with her. We would definitely recommend Skyler and use her again. Thank you!!”
“Sean was an absolute treasure to our girl, Luna. He was very responsive from the get-go and made sure that all of our accommodations were met. I’m not sure that we will ever book with anybody else as Luna adored Sean when we returned. I would give Sean 100/10 stars if I could. I highly recommend entrusting him.”
“Daniella is AMAZING with my Rotties! I have two and she is wonderful with them. They absolutely love her, my home and my babies are always in shape and safe when I return. She sends updates when needed or just to ease my mind and communicates any changes she sees in my dogs behavior so that I am aware. Will continue to book with her!!”

“This was an amazing experience! Cameron took perfect care of our dogs while we were away. Constant updates kept us informed and we couldn't be more pleased. Would not only recommend Rover but Cameron as well!”
“This was the second time we have used Erica and once again she was excellent. I love that she communicates with us, sending updates and pictures and asking questions if needed. She left the house immaculate and our pups love her.”
“We left Elena with our two aging dogs. Bear has degenerative myelopathy - a nerve disease that leaves her with little use of her back legs. She's still a spirited dog, but demands A LOT of hands-on attention and care. it takes considerable sensitivity and patience to deal with her everyday needs. And a willingness to clean up an occasional indoor "accident" - also part of the disease. Elena did a fantastic job with both dogs - keeping them on a regular eating schedule (which is more difficult that it sounds), making sure they stayed hydrated, providing them with loving company, and giving them opportunities to get out and enjoy the day. When Bear developed an intestinal problem (not an uncommon symptom of her condition), Elena contacted us immediately, consulted with us on next steps, and then took care of everything. In less that 12 hours, all problems were resolved. I cannot say enough good things about Elena. She is sincerely passionate about taking care of dogs and has a wealth of experience to draw on. She's intelligent, grounded, and an excellent communicator. We returned to calm and content dogs - happy to see us, but I think a little disappointed that Elena was leaving. (I should also mention that Elena took excellent care of the house and our plants.). Elena is the best. Truly.”

“Dorota and Olivia did a fantastic job taking care of our little guy! They stayed over at our house and made sure our dog was well taken care of. They communicated promptly and sent lots of pictures during the stay. We can’t wait to book again!”
“We had Cheryl watch our senior dog, who had only ever been left overnight with family before, so I was definitely a bit nervous. Cheryl was absolutely wonderful and put my mind at ease right away. She took such great care of our dog and kept us consistently updated, which meant so much to us. We could not be happier with the experience and will definitely be using Cheryl again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bensenville is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $62 per night. 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.

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 Bensenville 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 Bensenville 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 Bensenville 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
