“We recently had Sarah house sit our dog for a few days and she was terrific! She provided updates each day on how our pup was doing and had thoughtful questions prior to our departure so we felt all was in good hands before we left. She even put our garbage cans out for us on garbage day and cleaned our dog’s food bowls before we came home. We would definitely use Sarah’s services again in the future!”
About: We love dogs, and have small loving family. I work from home and we are around on weekends, so are perfect for when you need a weekend or week of dog sitting. Our lives have always included dogs, and love spending time with them! We both have experience with puppies and older dogs, and we love going for walks. We have two boys (Archie 6 and Eddie 3) and a lab/vizsla coco (9) and we are all dog lovers! I take coco for two walks a day, which are about 1 mile. I would love to have another dog to take on our walks! We cannot wait to meet your dog and spend quality time with them. I work from home so I will have a lot of time to spend with your dog! I can take the dogs out as much as needed. I work from home and will spend most of the day with the dogs. We have an unfenced yard, but I don't mind taking dogs out on a leash!

“Katalina gave us great peace of mind watching our dog Avery. She gave regular updates and pictures of our pup, and she was clear and friendly in her communication. Such a professional who wants to make sure your fur baby is taken care ofb”
“Margaret is wonderful. Very punctual, responsive and sends lots of pictures of the pets with updates the entire time. She really put my mind at ease as this was my first time leaving my pets without family. I would highly recommend her”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I tailor walks, playtime, and care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventures, belly rubs, or a quiet companion, I provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a fun, loving experience filled with plenty of attention and affection. *** Available after 3:30 pm during the week/open on weekends and holidays *** 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.
“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”
“From the first time I met with Lisa for our meet and greet, we knew our dog would be in good hands. She was so sweet with our dog. She has great communication skills and we were not worried. She took him on walks and cuddled with him. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“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!”
“Dylan was amazing with our Dobermans Storm and Damen!!! He stayed with them in our home and not only was he great with them and they loved him. Thank you and we will definitely be reaching out to Dylan again!!!”
“Heidi, was very polite and took care of my dog very well. She even waited up late one night when I came home late the other night. I would recommend her to anyone interested in someone that is reliable. Thanks again Heidi!”
“Ann took wonderful care of our older dog and all his specific needs while we were away — which gave us great peace of mind! We all look forward to having Ann come and stay again!♥️🐾”
“Tara is outstanding! She goes above & beyond. Tara is very kind to my dogs & treats them like her own babies. I can tell they were so happy and well taken care of. My dogs love her & we appreciate the comfort & walks she provided to them.”
“Diane is a gem! We have 2 Little Havanese pups and When she comes over, she sits on the floor so the dogs get comfy. She obviously loves dogs. We were traveling for 4 days and She sent us photos everyday with a short text of what they did. Also-when we got home -the condo was pristine. We will be happy to contract her again!”
“Chelsea is the absolute BEST! She house sat for us while we were gone for a week and we arrived back to a clean home and happy,happy pets:) I would book her a thousand times over again and you should too!”
“Oh goodness, I don't know where to begin! Miguel is wonderful! He kept in touch with me and if he had questions on Zona's care he reached out to me for clarity. Photos were sent to me daily with days activities! My home was secure and Zona cared for with Miguel. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Miguel!!”
“Kat is honestly the only person we trust with our pup. She’s caring, considerate, and very respectful. She always finds a way to leave our house cleaner than when we left it. Whenever we leave our dog with Kat, it’s immediate peace of mind. She’s the best!”
“Charlotte did a wonderful job caring for our babies while we were away. She sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us great peace of mind during our trip. It was clear from the pictures and her communication that the dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We experienced severe storms while we were gone, and Charlotte was attentive to our girls anxiety needs and followed our instructions regarding medication. We really appreciated knowing our pets were in capable and caring hands.”
“Joanna was great with our dogs Carter and Kismet. She has a lot of knowledge about dog behavior. I'm especially happy with how she handled Carter, who was rescued from a puppy mill. Because of his time in the puppy mill, he is very anxious around strangers. But Joanna took her time building trust with him. By the end of her stay, Carter looked much more at ease around her in the pictures and videos she sent us.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burr Ridge
Riya stayed with our pup Kenai while we were out of town & she took AMAZING care of him. She was so attentive and was so consistent in keeping with his daily routine. Another highlight was that her communication was incredible-we got tons of text and photo updates that made being away a little easier. Cannot wait to book her again!! 🥰
Katelyn was AMAZING!! 😄 she was super communicative, extremely caring and attentive to taking care of my girls, and made every effort to ensure I was comfortable throughout the experience. Sent lots of adorable photos of my pups having the best time. Overall just a fantastic person and sitter! Looking forward to our next trip knowing that my fur kiddos are in wonderful hands! 10/10
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Jana kept me updated with messages and photos, so I never had to worry or wonder how things were going. It was such a relief knowing my dog was not just being “watched,” but truly cared for, played with, and treated like family. My puppy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. It’s obvious Jana pays attention to details, follow instructions, and genuinely care about each pet’s personality and needs. I trust her completely and will 100% be booking again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible to care for your dog, this is the person you want. Absolute gem!

FAQs for House Sitting - Burr Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Burr Ridge on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,077 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burr Ridge. 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 Burr Ridge 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 Burr Ridge 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 Burr Ridge 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.

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.
