“Allison was amazing!! She provided daily updates and photos of my pets and took great care of my house while I was away! I would recommend her to anyone and trust her to watch my pets again!”

“Hayley did a great job with our girls. I can always tell when they are well cared for because when we come home they barely notice we are gone. And they let us know if they are not! :) Hayley kept me well informed and sent pictures. Definitely recommend!”

“Zackary was so awesome! We was super communicative and seemed to spend a lot of time at home with our two kitties boys. He asked questions when needed, checked in often and sent cute pictures! Our kitties were definitely happy when we got home and he was respectful of our space. Thank you so much Zack, the boys will be happy to see you in the future 😊”


“Phillip did an amazing job with Otso and left the house spotless after the house sitting. Thank you for watching, Otso-man who may be pining at the moment. I hope it is him pouting that I left or I may need to get jealous, haha”

“Ian was an absolute life saver! After another person backed out less than 48 hours before my husband and I were scheduled to leave town for several days, Ian answered my last minute request, and saved the day! He came to meet us and our dog the same evening as the request, and immediately established a rapport with our dog. While we were gone, he kept us updated on how things were going, and was very responsive to requests. I would love to have Ian stay with our dog again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”

“Dayna was amazing! She sent us updates through our trip, including photos. She made our trip so much more relaxing knowing our pups and kitty were in good hands! You won’t be disappointed if you hire her!”

About: Hello! My name is Ashley, I am fun, outgoing, and very talkative! I have had animals all my life and I would love to take care of yours. I have taken care of my two black labs at home for the past 20 years and was always willing to pet sit for family friends when needed. I now have a cat of my own, Erma, and she is the best! I make sure to follow all directions given and will ensure you that I will take great care of your animal. I am very active and will make sure your pet needs a good nap after I hang out with them! I am a teacher in the area, so I have lots of availability during the summertime and throughout the day! I can stop by anytime, just let me know. Personally, I have always grown up with animals in my house, so I know how to properly provide and take care of an animal. I will feed, walk, and play with all animals and will give them attention to make them happy (:
“Jessica has stayed with our 2 girls Nala and Frida twice now . They warmed up to her quickly . Jessica sends photos and updates a couple times a day. She even brought them little gifts the 2nd time coming . Jessica is very kind and has been”

About: Animals have always been apart of my life in both big & small ways. Being able to care for other pets, is just an extension of me caring for my own. My goal is to make your pet(s) as comfortable, loved, and cared for as if you had never left. I pride myself in the small details & going above and beyond what is expected. ~ Experience with young puppies to senior dog, and diabetic dogs. Including giving insulin. ~ Extensive experience with cats including specialized medical needs. ~ Comfortable giving oral, topical, or injectable medications. MY BACKGROUND: At an early age while growing up on five acres in the country, I was often taking care of a variety of animals, including our dogs and many barn cats. I was a bit of a cat Momma, often times assisting with extra care like bottle feeding or treating illnesses as they came. Eventually I started taking care of our neighbors animals when they were away. Throughout childhood I had several special cats that became my indoor pets & my first adopted dog at the age of 13. After high school I worked at a stable. My ‘Cat Whisper’ abilities came in handy while here- tending to the cats & ensuring the kittens grew up & had a chance to be healthy, loved barn cats. As a young adult, I cared for my two indoor cats & my Boxer puppy - a dream come true. ADDITIONALLY: I have almost 10 years of experience as a CNA and have completed 1 year of nursing school. You can feel confident knowing that your pet is in capable hands. I’m currently working from home & homeschool my daughter, allowing my weekdays to be flexible. I’m also home most weekends. I’m available for house sitting, drop-in care, walks, and extended care. FOR THOSE LOOKING TO PLAN AHEAD… I have my Spring/ Summer 2027 currently unavailable as I don’t have enough information yet to determine my exact availability. If you have an upcoming trip you are planing and in need of care, or looking for reoccurring care during these dates, please message me directly to get priority booking as my availability opens. My goal is to make your pet(s) as comfortable, loved, and cared for as if you had never left, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I know that every family has a different way of caring for their pets. Therefore, I will work with you to find out how best to care for your animal by asking questions up front before I even step foot in your home. Communication is key. At the end of my visit, I will give you an overview of your pets time with me including sending pictures. If there’s anything else you’re looking for, just ask.
“Mallory was wonderful with our high-anxiety dog, Scotty and our Holly. She was exactly what they needed and made us feel relaxed while we were away visiting family. Will definitely hire again.”

“Karina was amazing with our pup! She sent frequent updates and pics and even bought her little treats. She was incredibly flexible with our dates and times, and went above and beyond any sitter we’ve ever had- both for our dog and kids. And super affordable. Highly recommended!!!”

About: I have been dog sitting/house sitting for 16 years. I love all animals and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve taken care of up to 3 dogs and 2 cats at once so I’m comfortable with many animals. I enjoy dog walking, great way to burn off their energy or taking them to the dog park if ok with owners. I don’t mind grooming or bathing dogs. I live in an apartment so I can take care of up to 2-3 dogs per day/night. I am very flexible to the type of training per owner, just let me know your preference. I have two cats myself so the dogs would have to be ok with them otherwise there is a separate room I can put them in for the day, nights would not work unfortunately. I’m in school currently for veterinarian and would love a small side job for extra cash. I currently work 1p-8:30p so I would be able to walk/drop in early and mid mornings and late evenings. I don’t work weekends so if you need a getaway I can watch over your babies so you can relax! I have a large yard, not fenced in but have a 200ft zip line leash. I have two extra bedrooms if your pet needs some alone time. My husband and I have one dog who is 7 months and loves to play. I am very comfortable with specific needs for your pets. My goal is to make them comfortable in my home or yours.

About: I've always grown up living around pets and animals of any kind, grew up with farm animals and household pets, lots of experience with both large and small dogs, and plenty of experience with cats. I currently have 3 cats at my home, and I love spending time with dogs as well. I've worked with both young and old cats and dogs as well! I also have experience with disabled pets (one of my dogs was a rescue that lost a leg in an accident). My partner works full time as a manager at a local pizza place in Stoughton, so they might come and go a bit for work, but I work from home and am able to stay in the home with your animals when and as needed. I work from home as a digital artist, so my schedule is completely open and flexible, and I can fit in pet care at any time that might be needed. I am very open to working around any specific care needs your fur family might need, and can work around your wants and needs for your pets care in and out of your home!
“Shatoria was a joy to have in our home, so much so that our dogs did not even care when we came back after nearly two weeks away, and ran right upstairs to her room to look for her. Excellent communication and attention to detail, and I am almost certain our home was cleaner when she left than when she arrived. Easily the best pet care experience we’ve had. Booking again ASAP.”

“Emma was absolutely fantastic with our large dogs! They are a bit high maintenance in their own ways but they were taken care of perfectly! Will absolutely be booking again in the future!”

About: I bring hands-on experience caring for dogs with a variety of needs, from energetic pups to seniors requiring extra attention. I’ve successfully cared for up to three dogs at a time, making sure each one gets individual love, exercise, and attention. I’m also comfortable providing medications—whether it’s oral medicine or ear treatments—so you can feel confident your pet’s health routines will be followed with care. My goal is always to make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in capable hands. As a full-time teacher, my weekdays are structured and reliable—which means your pets can count on a consistent routine with me, too! I’m available for drop-ins and walks before and after school hours, and I have every other weekend off, which allows me to dedicate extra time to longer visits, boarding, or overnight care. Teaching has given me patience, attentiveness, and strong multitasking skills—all qualities I bring into pet care. I also offer house sitting, which means your pets can stay in the comfort of their own home while I keep up with their routines and give them lots of love and attention. I make sure your pets feel safe, your home is cared for, and you have peace of mind while you’re away. Spending time with animals is truly one of the best parts of my week! When I’m caring for a dog in your home, I want them to feel completely loved and comfortable while you’re away. I do my best to stick to their normal routine—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or even just those quiet snuggle moments they look forward to. I pay close attention to the little things that make your dog happy, because I know how much they mean to you. While I’m there, I also treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. You can count on me to keep things tidy and follow your instructions so you can come back to both a happy pup and a peaceful home. My goal is always to make your dog feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend until you return.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 956 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Busseyville. 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 Busseyville 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 Busseyville 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 Busseyville 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.
