“Melanie was great with our dogs! She sent us lots of pictures of them having fun while we’re we’re away. They were so happy and had lots of energy when we got home. And our home was just as we left it! Thank you so much!”
“Kathryn went above and beyond taking care of ALL our animals. We received pictures and updates daily. Our pets always looked so relaxed and peaceful in all the pictures. We had a stress free vacation knowing all our babies were well taken care of. We highly recommend Kathryn and will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Stephanie was a joy to have taken care of my kitties. I asked for pictures to be sent from each feeding, as one of my cats is diabetic and needs insulin (and I can be a nervous mama around his health!) She sent lots of photos right on time and my cats warmed up to her right away. She was super communicative– asking questions and always responding right away. House was left nice and tidy, and she even offered to put new clean sheets back on the bed when stripping the ones off from her stay. I will definitely be calling Stephanie again!”
“Miguel was so good with our old girl! He even carried her down the stairs when she was having trouble. He was great with communication and made sure everything was in order so we could relax on our trip!”
“Holly is absolutely amazing! She was fantastic with our dogs, and gave us so much peace of mind when we were out of town. She sent daily pictures and updates and we couldn't have asked for a better person to watch them!”
“Thank you so much for caring for my fish, pups, and plants. I hope you were comfortable. I would definitely book again. I would even like to see your band play again. I really enjoyed the last time. I follow you on Facebook so maybe I’ll see one that’s close. Be well, Angelique”

“Nicole is a wonderful pet sitter. She is caring, diligent, and honest. She has sat for us 7 times this year, and each time she has gone above and beyond to care for our beloved 12-1/2 dog. You will have a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE if you hire her.”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who treats every animal like my own. Whether it’s a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or cozy cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work in education, so I am available in the late afternoons and evenings during the week. My weekend availability is generally very open. :) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat each animal like they’re my own: with love, patience, and respect. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means sticking to specific feeding times, giving medication, going for long walks, or offering extra cuddles and playtime. I also make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable, and I’m happy to send updates and photos to keep you at ease while you’re away. My goal is always to provide consistency and care so your pet feels safe and happy in their familiar surroundings.
About: Experience with all kinds of pets and reptiles. Will be treated with upmost care. I can provide a number of services including bathing, walking, feeding, cutting nails/grooming and any special requests from you. I do work a full time job between the hours of 6am and 3pm but any time after that I am free to tend to any needs you or your pet needs. I will have a designated play area for your fur babies if any needed. I will update with pictures and calls if needed. I will follow any schedule given.
“Jessica is very responsible, reliable, and compassionate. I know my senior pup is in excellent hands with Jessica. She takes wonderful care of my home and leaves it cleaner than when I left. Can’t say enough good about Jessica. I trust her explicitly with my dog and my home.”
“Laina was amazing. We have 2 pitbulls and they've only ever stayed with people they've known since they were puppies or see all of the time. We were apprehensive to leave them with someone they didn't know as well because they struggle with separation anxiety and take a bit to warm up to strangers. She was very accommodating and came over multiple times for 'meet and greets' so the dogs could get to know her. She's been very patient with them and sent us pictures anytime she's helped us. She's friendly, professional and great with our dogs. We're so grateful to have found her and plan to continue utilizing her services in the future.”
“Fiona was very professional. She responded quickly, checked in with instructions, showed up on time, and took great care of our dog. She also was a very nice person. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hello! My name is Beryl! I am a big animal lover, and have been fortunate to have owned 2 dogs in the past. I love being around animals because I feel that they teach me a lot about life, love, and patience. I have experience caring for mainly dogs, and select cats, therefore I am more than comfortable walking, feeding, playing with, lightly grooming, and overall caring for your pet. I have been pet sitting for several years now before discovering Rover, so I decided to make it official. I am a current law student at DePaul University, and I love being active, so I have a lot of energy! Please feel free to reach out to discuss in detail my services. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! Sincerely, Beryl I am working remotely at the moment and because of that, I have more time on my hands to look after your pet and make sure they receive ample attention. I live in a home that has a pretty big backyard so I’m sure I will be able to provide lots of physical activity for your pet!
“Maribel was amazing! She was very communicative, great with my pets, and left our home spotless. My dog and both our cats were well taken care of. One of our cats is very shy and typically hides from sitters, however she quickly became comfortable with Maribel. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
About: I have experience with 2 Boston terriers of my own, as well as dog sitting for puppies and senior dogs! I am comfortable with giving medication and am able to walk the dogs every day! I have been taking care of my dogs since I was 13! I am currently in limbo, waiting for a new job and wanted to hop on here to help with furry friends! I do plan to continue working on Rover part time! I have been pet sitting by word of mouth for friends and family for about 7 years! I think it’s important that every pet family knows that they can have a caring and trustworthy individual taking care of their pets! <3 I have two dogs at home who I love very much! Ella is almost 11 and rose is my baby from COVID who is 6. So I have also dog sat for plenty of friends and family who have dogs of all ages and sizes! So, have plenty of experience with dogs!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bridgeview
Isabell was a fantastic sitter for our two dogs and took great care of our home. I feel bad for putting Isabell in a tough spot, as we booked last minute after a cancelation, and she had to deal with unanticipated home construction and related challenges too! Not only was Isabell unfazed and prepared to step in at a moment's notice, but she took great care of the dogs, kept us informed, and kept the house in great condition. Her end of visit report card on the pups was incredibly sweet and thoughtful. Highly recommend, and we will make it a priority to rebook when possible!
Laura is wonderful! She stayed at our house with our 14 year old dog while we were on vacation for almost two weeks. She took amazing care of our special guy and kept us updated everyday. She was also incredibly respectful of our space. We will absolutely use her services in the future.
Leah was absolutely wonderful with Shelby, our dog. The first time she came over to meet Shelby, I knew she was great with dogs. Shelby is usually very apprehensive about meeting new people, but she warmed right away to Leah. Leah was sweet and attentive and treated Shelby as if she was her own family pet. She stayed at our house and left everything so spotless! She is an amazing dog sitter and I am so relieved to have found someone to watch Shelby when I can't be there. Five stars!

FAQs for House Sitting - Bridgeview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,716 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bridgeview. 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 Bridgeview 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 Bridgeview 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 Bridgeview 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.

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.
