“Amanda was friendly, respectful of our home, took great care of our pets and was very communicative. She was also very flexible with our schedule. I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone.”
About: Growing up I was always surrounded by animals; dogs, cats, farm animals, birds, and fish. In my adult life, I raised my Jack Russell Terrier, Edy, from 2 months til 17 years old; she was quite literally my best friend. During that time, I also petsitted for my family and friends; from puppies/kittens of to elder dogs/cats across all breeds. I have also taken care of pets who need special care in the form of regular medication in the form of oral or injection. I’m currently raising my second fur-baby, a mini dachshund named Porcini. He is currently 1 year and 4 months old. I love animals of all kinds and sizes and I would be thrilled and honored to care for yours. I am a project manager who works fully from home. I currently live with roommates who have 1 dog and 3 cats and I have a dog of my own. I’m naturally an early riser so I start my day around 6 am with walks and feeding. My work day is pretty flexible and I am the person at work who schedules most of the meetings. I typically only have 1-3 meetings a day which makes it easy for me to step away to do pet care. With my current living situation, I will not be able to watch a pet in my home. I am a very tidy person who follows instructions really well. I wrote instructions for a living for 11 years 😂 I follow the golden rule and am deeply respectful. So I am happy to follow your instructions to the T and I will make sure it was like I was never in your home (except that the pets will be taken care of.)
“Hannah was amazing with both are twin puppies. Very prompt In responding and the pictures were amazing! I was able to enjoy vacation knowing my dogs were taking care of so well by Hannah! I will be using Hannah every time we need someone to take care of my dogs!”
“Michelle took such wonderful care of our dog and cat while we were away on Christmas week. She took our high energy dog to the dog park to play, communicate regularly and was kind to our pets. We would gladly book Michelle again in the future.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own
“I can not say enough wonderful things about Briana! She sent me daily photos of my pets which I appreciated so much! We even had a meet-and-greet prior for her to meet my pets and she asked so many important questions so that she could provide the best possible care. If I could recommend her to everyone, I would! Thank you Briana!”
“Amy was awesome with our dogs and cats while we were out of town! She kept us updated and sent photos every day, so I could tell they were being well taken care of. One of my dogs has a lot of medications and is a picky eater, and Amy was so on top of it, which put me at ease knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely book with Amy again!”
“Sounds like our dog SugarBear and Mark had a nice time while we were away. Playtime, walks and hanging out. Mark did some brushing out of SugarBear’s coat, which was a big help! Everything went smoothly and house was in perfect order when we returned.”
“Zoey was great! My clingy dogs were happy and got walked every day during our 8 day trip. One of my dogs can be a little over-reactive, and he was like putty in her hands. And when our plane was late getting in, Zoey kindly went back to our house to feed them one last time. I highly recommend Zoey.”
About: I bring years of hands-on animal care experience from veterinary clinics, kennels, and long-term pet sitting, including special-needs care for a senior dog who requires diapers, hourly potty breaks, medication management, and a strict diet. My background in veterinary support and my 5-year commitment to caring for three dogs from one family means I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and fully comfortable supporting pets with complex routines. I treat every animal with patience, confidence, and genuine love, giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because, with school wrapping up, I have plenty of time to focus on consistent, reliable visits. I plan my days around each pet’s needs, keeping feeding, walks, and medications on schedule while balancing a few prior commitments on set days. For the most part, I’m available daily, which allows me to offer flexible booking, dependable check-ins, and attentive pet-focused care that never feels rushed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly, keeping feeding, meds, and potty schedules consistent while maintaining a calm, clean environment. I provide gentle companionship, monitor behavior and health closely, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. My goal is to respect the home, reduce stress, and ensure every pet feels safe and understood.
“Rebecca stayed with our pug Cookie for a couple of days while we were out of town. She was very communicative and kept us informed of things while we were away. She does an excellent job with her care and I will happily have her back for future stays. Thank you Rebecca!”
About: I grew up in Singapore and had the good fortune of being surrounded by family pets, be it either my grandparents' 5 German Shepherds or my other grandparents' English Pointer and German Shepherd. In 2005, I was blessed with Charlie, our Golden Labrador, who we got as a 3-month old puppy from New Zealand and he is my brother from another mother. After High School, I was enlisted in the Singapore Armed Forces as a Platoon Commander under Special Operations Task Force from 2011 to 2013 and got the opportunity to train and work with canine units as well. Following that, I moved to the US to do my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (2017) and Master's in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering (2022), here at UIUC. Since 2019, I have been the Head of Mechanical and Product Development associated with the Cancer Center at Illinois, located at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. I normally work 9:30 AM-6 PM M-F and come home from 1-2 pm to take dogs out for a walk and playtime, but am able to easily accommodate your loved ones anytime during the week. I live in an apartment complex that has a huge middle courtyard. I am more than happy to take the puppers out for walks/runs as well.
“Breonna was fantastic! She is polite and understanding of pets/owner needs. I really appreciated her level of communication throughout her stay. Will definitely request next time.”
“Ben did a great job House sitting with our two pups for a long weekend. He sent lots of photos to let us see how they were doing and they were happy and healthy upon our return. And the house was exactly as we left it. We’ll definitely use Ben again when we travel!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 188 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bondville. 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 Bondville 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 Bondville 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Bondville 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.
