“Skyler was wonderful! She was here for our Poppy girl every night and kept as close to her routine as possible. We will definitely be reaching out to Skyler again for future stays!”
“Kendall is an amazing dog sitter!! One of our dogs Siah is very protective and has lot of anxiety but she got along with Kendall very quickly. Kendall is also helpful and flexible. Koro seemed to get bit by a mosquito and she was ready to go get Benadryl and a cone as needed. She cares for your dogs like her own, follows any instructions you provide to the tee. Would definitely hire again!”
“Caroline did a great job for us with the overnight sitting while we were on vacation. She was consistent in providing updates since we were a little nervous as first timers with this process. She was very responsible, followed through with everything, and there were no issues at all. I will definitely be requesting her again in the future.”
“Ashley house sat for us for 5 days. She's easy to work with, communicates clearly and frequently, and took great care of both the pets and the house. Most importantly, my dog and cat both love her!”
“Casey is awesome! I would not hesitate to book her and her partner Hung again. They took great care of our 2 dogs and house while we were on vacation for 10 days. One of my dogs is fearful/anxious and it takes him a while to warm up to new people. Casey is so knowledgeable on how to handle him. They were best friends in no time. Casey is great with communication and I looked forward to her twice daily updates and pictures. Casey is so calm and gentle with my pups, I was happy to have my dogs cared for by such great people!”
“Philip was amazing with our German shepherd Milo, very communicative during our whole time away and went above and beyond to take great care of Milo. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a helpful hand with their furry friends while they are away.”
“Amanda is outstanding! This was my first time using Rover and I had Amanda house sit my dogs for a week. She responded immediately to every message, she was very respectful of my home and my dogs loved her. I will be asking her to house sit again in the near future!”
About: Are you looking for an experienced dog/cat/plant/fish/ sitter in the western suburbs? I have experience with dogs of all sizes and cats of many temperaments. I grew up with just about every animal you can think of and would love to meet your favorite furry/scaley/leafy friend! I’m available for drop in visits, dog walking, overnight sits, etc. I love spending time with animals and am happy to make time available when needed. I have a very active life and love being outdoors. Open availability evenings and weekends! I love to take lots of pictures and videos to send to owners! Typical activities of feeding, watering, petting, and spending time with your furry friends.
About: I’ve been I interested in pet care for some time. I’m a senior caregiver for 2 years. I reason why I wanted to start pet care is because I love animals! Other than that I am a reliable and supportive caregiver. I enjoy helping others and take pride in my work. I’m available Wednesday , Saturday, and Sunday. I’m really looking forward to helping out! Im Brianna! Im a college student! I’m available any day of the week and anytime. If needed i can do overnights as well. I’m also okay with any change in the schedule. I take them out for walks and potty breaks. Feed them and staying active I can help with medication. I can tidy and clean up any accidents.
About: Hi, I’m Warda! When you’re away from your pets, the little things matter. Did they eat? Did they come out to play? Are they acting like themselves? After each visit, you’ll get photos and a note so you know how everyone did. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to have someone gentle and patient caring for your fur babies while you’re away. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or both under one roof, you set the routine. Tell me who eats what, who needs to go out, and who likes to take their time warming up. You know what helps each of your fur babies feel comfortable and happy. Your instructions guide each visit, from meals and fresh water to potty breaks, litter boxes, walks, and any medications we’ve discussed. If one pet needs to eat separately or your cat only comes out when things are quiet, that’s part of the plan. Message me with your travel dates and a little about your pets. At your free meet and greet, you can show me how you’d like things done, ask questions, and give your pets a chance to get to know me before you decide to book. I run my own business from home, giving me flexible availability throughout the day. I can accommodate drop-in visits, daily feeding schedules, and extended sitting arrangements. My routine already includes dedicated pet care time morning and evening, so your cat will fit naturally into my day. My home is a cat-friendly environment where my two well-socialized cats live. I’m experienced with managing multi-cat introductions if boarding is needed. For in-home visits, I follow detailed care instructions and send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I’m also experienced with administering supplements and monitoring health needs.
“Sasha was a wonderful house sitter for our two cats. She provided frequent updates about how they were doing and worked with me and my schedule before her visit to meet the cats. We would definitely love to have Sasha take care of our cats again!”
“We can’t thank Ally enough for watching our sweet boy. Our dog had an upset stomach over the weekend & Ally went above and beyond to help clean up an accident he had. She was very communicative & thoughtful!”
About: What truly sets my care apart is a balanced focus on both physical well-being and emotional happiness. I tailor every visit to your pet’s energy levels and needs—from high-energy play sessions and enriching walks to quiet cuddle time for senior pets. I listen closely to what makes your pet thrive, ensuring they receive thoughtful, individualized care that keeps their stress low and their tails wagging. One of the biggest advantages I offer as a pet caregiver is the flexibility of my career in real estate. I map out my appointments and client meetings a week ahead, which allows me to reserve dedicated blocks of time for walks, check-ins, and companionship. This blend of complete schedule control and advanced planning means I can accommodate midday drop-ins, sudden schedule adjustments, and focused, quality time with your pet when they need it most. Your home is your pet’s safe haven, and I take the responsibility of stepping into that space very seriously. I combine professional reliability with gentle, attentive care, strictly adhering to your house rules and pet care instructions. From maintaining meal schedules and administering medications to providing active companionship and house security, I ensure your home is treated with respect and your pet receives full, unhurried attention in the comfort of their own environment.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was 8, my family runs an animal rescue shelter where I have done volunteer work for free and have been helping with all kinds of activities such as dog walking, cleaning, promotion, etc. We have a large park area right outside our house where we always walk our dog, other dogs being walked may be around and the dogs love the huge open park area. Plenty of areas to walk and everyone is very friendly! I have a very safe environment and neighborhood for your pup, everyone in the house is an animal lover with experience and love in caring for fur babies, we have all kinds of dog toys and can set up crates if needed!
About: As a lifelong dog owner, I’m always told I have a calm demeanor that keeps people and dogs feeling comfortable and stress free. Go enjoy your plans and feel confident that I am capable and experienced. As an experienced mom and a teacher, I’m ready to resolve problems and make logical decisions to keep your home and your beloved pets safe. I’m taking the leap to retire early from teaching, and my children are adults now so I am open and free to help you in anyway you need! Every dog and every home has different expectations to keep their pets comfortable and stress-free. I would stay at your house to care for your pets for as long as your dog needs, and fulfill any care requirements that your dog is used to when you yourself are home. I will play with and cuddle with your dog as much as they like and need!
“Oliwia was a true life saver for us! We had an unfortunate event while we were gone on vacation with our current dog sitter and she was able to step in last minute and take such great care of our pups. We are so grateful!!!”
About: Have a dog who needs walk training? Maybe a cat who doesn’t like strangers but still needs their meds? An exotic pet with strange food? Look no further, I adore them all. Pet Care and craftsmanship are my entire life so I have plenty of time and energy to give your pet top tier care! I am available in the daylight hours, currently 9AM to 5PM. I offer out of home walks and visits. I have a car set up for pet transport if you ever need daycare pickup/drop off. I am happy to walk nervous dogs as long as we set up a meet and greet beforehand.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomingdale
Ashley is fantastic. We have asked her several times to watch our 3 cats over the years and she is always on it. the cat areas are always clean, she send photos, grabbed a package for us and even rescued a baby bunny that fell down into a window well! As long as she is up for it we will be contacting her again :)
Gianna was reliable, considerate, caring towards our puppy! She left our house as clean as we left it. Everything went smoothly. She really spent quality time with our dog, playing and getting his exercise in. He's been sleeping a lot since we got home. She really tired him out! We feel so much more comfortable getting a weekend away knowing Gianna cared for our dog and house as her own. Highly recommend!! Hoping to book her for future trips!
I was away for 4 days and Kimberly looked after my two dogs, Jake and Daisy. From the very first message her communication was perfect – she replied quickly, asked all the right questions before I left, and sent me daily updates with photos and little notes that made being away so much easier. Seeing Jake and Daisy lounging around the yard with her honestly made my day every time. When I got home, both dogs were calm, happy, and clearly thrilled with their time with Kimberly (Daisy even gave me the cold shoulder for a few minutes because she missed her new best friend!). The house was spotless, their routines were followed to a T, and it was obvious they’d been spoiled with love the entire time.
We had the absolute best experience with Michaela and truly can’t recommend her enough. We were out of town for our wedding, and knowing our two dogs were in such caring, capable hands gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in every way—taking our dogs on runs to keep them active and happy, sending us frequent pictures and videos so we could stay connected, and even taking the time to vacuum and keep our home clean while we were away. It was such a thoughtful and unexpected touch, especially during such a busy and meaningful time in our lives. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares, not just about pets but about the people they’re helping, too. We came home to two very happy, well-exercised dogs and a spotless house. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again without hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bloomingdale is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $56 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.
As of November 2026, there are 8,002 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bloomingdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Bloomingdale 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 Bloomingdale 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 Bloomingdale 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomingdale. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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.
