“Peggy was great with Maggie! We could tell Maggie felt comfortable the whole weekend. She was well taken care of and we received updates and pictures throughout the weekend as well. We will definitely rebook!”
“Nancy did a great job watching our dog Atticus! He normally gets very sad when we’re gone, but Nancy made sure he got enough love and attention and he was happy and relaxed. Atticus loved Nancy and even went into the room she stayed in a few times to check if she was still there. She sent frequent updates on his mood, whether he ate, and what they were up to, including sending pictures. We will definitely hire Nancy again!”
About: I love dogs. A few years ago our family’s dog, Lacy passed away at 13 years old. She was a beautiful black and white English springer spaniel. She was so fun, energetic, and sweet. She’s missed everyday. We’re not ready to get another dog yet but since I love being around dogs I thought that caring for dogs would be a fun thing to do. I’ve had experience taking care of my family’s dog for 10 years. Growing up with her, I took Lacy for walks, fed, played with, and cared for her. I’ve house sat my cousins 3 dogs a couple times, whenever they go on vacation for one to two weeks at a time. I’ve also done day visits for one of their neighbors dogs whenever they go on work trips for a few days. I’m looking forward to walking and spending time with your dog(s)! I currently am in between jobs and I’m looking for part time work. I thought dog walking/sitting would be a nice temporary job since I love dogs. I would follow my clients instructions for the care of their dog and the dogs needs. This would include their nutritional needs as well as exercise and play time.
“Caroline kept in touch at least once a day and sent pictures of my dogs. My dogs did have several accidents that I found in other rooms and on my rug a few times. When I got home my dogs had no water and both were extremely thirsty. I did ask her to get my mail daily and put it on the counter, however, that didn’t happen and my mail box was over filled. Overall she did a good job, my little dog seemed a lot lighter because he doesn’t eat when I’m gone, they are both back to themselves today.”
“I recommend Marisol and would give 6 stars if I could. She stayed in our home and watched our large anxious dog over July 4th when there were massive storms. I did not have to worry one bit about our dog's nerves, as she did everything possible to comfort him when he was scared (stormed for days!). She followed all of my instructions beautifully, gave detailed updates, and left my house clean and tidy. Marisol exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely use her again and refer her to my friends and family!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Knowing our dogs were able to stay in the comfort of home made our time away so much less stressful. They cared for our pups like he was their own and kept us updated with photos and messages that always made us smile. We came home to a happy, relaxed pups and a house that was just as we left it. We’d love to have them back anytime!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs before and I have two dogs of my own that I watch when my parents are out of town as well as our cat too. I have a way that animals always love em even if they aren’t big with other people. I am currently a full time college student with only one in person class. Classes end latter this month. I always work part time in retail and umpire baseball games on the weekends. I’m typically at my retail job for about 4 hours and I umpire weekends for about 6 hours I have a fenced in yard and my dogs love to run around out there. I also love to take my dogs on walks when i can. I also have a cat that I try to take out when the weather is nice and let him roam in the sun.
“Sarah took wonderful care of our 14 year old Lab, Wally, while we were away for a week. Leaving an older dog can be stressful, but Sarah gave us complete peace of mind from the start She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Wally like one of her own. She kept us updated with messages and photos, and it was obvious he was comfortable, well cared for, and getting lots of love and attention\. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything\. We are so grateful for the excellent care Sarah provided and would not hesitate to book with her again\. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter.”
About: As a dedicated cat owner, I know that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I have experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and more timid or anxious cats, and I’m comfortable with feeding, medications (if needed), litter box maintenance, enrichment, and giving pets the patience they deserve. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and cared for while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits throughout the week. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of updates while you’re away. Your cat’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. During each visit, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, make sure food and water are fresh, clean the litter box, and spend quality time playing or simply keeping your cat company (whatever they enjoy most.) I’ll also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health and send detailed updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Im currently working part time at a carwash which are normally 4 hour shifts. I can come before and after to play and walk your dogs! I will be able to execute the schedule you give me, whether it is feeding time, walking time, or playing time. I love spoiling dogs.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a fun, loving experience filled with plenty of attention and affection. As a high school teacher, I have a reliable schedule and enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. During the school year, I am available after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. This flexibility allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home while you're away. With years of experience caring for animals, you can trust that your furry family member will receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and close supervision.
“Charlotte was the perfect house sitter. My house was just as I left it when I got home. More importantly, my dog, Polly, received the best of care. Charlotte sent me pics several times during my absence and I returned to a happy, healthy pet.”
“Glen did a great job .It was the first time our dog had someone stay over night and take care of feeding and walking through out the day. Very happy and would recommend Glen for overnight and daily walks”
“What a gift to have such a wonderful care for our guy Brody over the Christmas holiday. Given Brody’s reactivity with other dogs and separation anxiety, Lauren’s flexibility, communication, and care gave us great confidence and comfort. We will definitely be reaching out to Lauren again for any future house sitting needs.”
“Claire was amazing :) Super sweet and patient with my big boy, and I really appreciated her taking the time to come by for a meet and greet beforehand. She kept me updated with pictures and little check-ins throughout the night, which made me feel so at ease. Definitely grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have approximately 5 years of experience caring for dogs, both large and small breeds. During this time, I have learned to adapt to the needs and personalities of each dog.

I treat every dog as if they were at home, creating a safe, calm, and loving environment so they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I am available to provide attention, walks, feeding, and playtime according to each pet’s needs. I make sure to dedicate consistent time for each dog, whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or regular check-ins, so that they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am flexible with scheduling and can adjust to fit the specific routines of both the pets and their owners, ensuring peace of mind for the owners and comfort for the pets at all times. When caring for pets, whether in my home or the owner’s home, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. My home features a special space adapted for them, including a large, fully fenced yard, where they can play, rest, and move around freely without any risks. I also create a calm, loving, and attentive environment so that pets feel comfortable and confident. I am always attentive to their needs, respecting their habits and routines, and maintaining constant communication with the owners so they know their pets are in good hands.

Claudia made the whole process worry free. She sent me pictures of how my 2 fur babies were the whole time I was gone. She made it so I could enjoy my wedding weekend stress free. The animals just loved her. We would definitely recommend and rebook if ever needed with her.
Nicole did an amazing job staying with our 2 dogs in our home while we were away on vacation! Her flexibility and reliability on the days we requested was wonderful, as well as her professionalism from the get go. One of our dogs can be hesitant with strangers, but Nicole’s calming presence helped her to warm up to her right away, which was so reassuring to see. Her daily photos and videos made us feel extra comfortable! We came home to 2 very happy girls and would highly recommend Nicole to anyone!
Jessica was the absolute best!!! Our 2 cats did amazing with her and they were so so so well cared for and loved during our vacation. Jessica stayed 3 days and 3 nights at our place and did cat sitting and house sitting and made our vacation stress free knowing our babies were well taken care of! She was so respectful of our home and left everything as is and clean. She sent us daily photos and text updates as we requested. Our cats absolutely loved her and were so happy with her. We will definitely be rebooking and recommend Jessica to everyone!!!
Ella did a good job caring for our dog. She was communicative and kept me in the loop of what was happening. She didn’t send a lot of pictures but that’s not super important to us, I’m sure she would if requested. She left our house clean and picked up. I would recommend Ella for your pet sitting needs.
Danny has watched our dogs overnight several times the last couple of years and he always does a fantastic job! He is reliable, spends plenty of time at the house with them, and always keeps us updated with pictures of the dogs having fun with him. He will take great care of your pups!
Olivia is always very attentive, responsive and takes such good care of our pups!! We’re so happy we found her and that she was available to take care of them. If you’re looking for a good sitter that will give you peace of mind while your away, she’s your girl! She send updates and pictures throughout the day as well which we really appreciate. Thanks again Olivia!!
Sabrina has been the best Dog Sitter I have ever had and I have had a lot of Dog Sitter. She did two courtesy meet and greets and while I was on my trip, she kept me up-to-date multiple times a day with photos. She stayed in my home and took care of my two puppies and when I returned home, the house was immaculate. Everything was clean and almost better than what I left it before leaving on my trip. Both my puppies were very well taken care of. They almost seem sad that we are back and she is gone, lol. She even left me flowers and a handwritten note which was a very touching surprise. Also, I had a lot of instructions and she followed each and every one of them and I must say she was probably the most honest pet sitter I have ever had. I highly recommend Sabrina to take care of your babies, and will be using her multiple times myself.
Laina was amazing! She took such good care of both of my dogs, they were so comfortable which made it a lot easier to enjoy our vacation. She did everything we asked and more. I highly recommend having Laina pet sit your furry loved ones. We will definitely be rebooking with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bolingbrook on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,842 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bolingbrook. 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 Bolingbrook 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 Bolingbrook 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 Bolingbrook 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
