“Abby was absolutely amazing! My dog loved her instantly and she was so attentive to his individual needs and anxiety. I was anxious to try out new dog sitters as I just moved to the area but she was always keeping me in the loop and was extra loving to my fur buddy. Will use again!”
“Lynn was amazing! She did a great job looking after our boys and the house while we were gone for a week. She went above and beyond to help with our lab who had unexpected complications from a surgery just prior to our trip. Would absolutely love for her to watch our boys again.”
“Our dog was very well cared for by Eva. She provided updates and photos several times a day, kept us informed of how well Daisy did with her normal daily routine and played with her both inside and outside. Daisy can be stubborn on walks when my husband isn’t present, but Eva followed Daisy’s routine, encouraging her to walk even though she didn’t go as far as she normally would. She kept a close eye on Daisy’s behavior and called us immediately when concerned about a chronic health issue. We talked it through over the phone and we appreciated Eva’s ability to notice the change in Daisy’s behavior and take necessary action. Her loving care helped us relax and enjoy our trip knowing our girl was well cared for at home. We came back to a calm and rested dog and we truly appreciate it!”
About: I was raised around cats and dogs my entire childhood, and as an adult I now own 2 rabbits. My rabbits will always be closed away in a separate room with a locked door while boarding pets in my home. Although I don't currently own any cats or dogs, I have extensive experience with them and treat all animals as if they were my own. I accept exotic animals as well, just book them as cats and send me a message! I own a house in the Chalco area with a fenced in backyard and have boarded dogs many times here. I have an XL dog crate, leashes, and food and water bowls on hand. I currently work Mon-Fri 8-5pm. I am available weekdays after 5pm and anytime on weekends. I can do drop in visits on my 1pm lunch break or any time after 5pm. I treat your pets as I would treat my own. I am able to pick up dog waste, scoop cat litter, and provide medications as well as food and water.
“I always know Theo is in great hands with Amy. She has sat for him several times and consistently takes excellent care of him and keeps an eye on things at the house. We’re very lucky to have her.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Laura watching our dog, Karma! We were gone for a week for our destination wedding and we were able to fully enjoy our time knowing she was well taken care of and in good hands! Laura was very diligent about taking lots of notes over all of Karma’s routines and needs when we initially met with her and kept us updated on her each day that we were gone!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and plants since I was 14 years old. I have been relied on to take care of animals of all ages, including a puppy who was less than a year old to a 16 year old dog! I have also taken care of furry friends that are post-operation and require very special care and attention. I have also cared for smaller animals such as rodents, fish, and reptiles! I have your back for whatever animal care you may need:) I currently have a full time job where I will be gone from 4:45 am - 4:00 pm Monday-Friday. I do overnight stays and weekends, and I am more than happy to spend any free time I have during the week taking care of you’r pet! I am more than thrilled to follow any directions you provide for house/pet care! I will match your pets energy to make this stressful time as easy as possible for them. I happy to walk your dog and play with them, or give them space depending on their social level!
“We were so thrilled to have Mark, take care of our babies. He was so nice, polite, and professional on what he does we highly recommend him and we definitely will be having him be our permanent sitter for our babies.”
“Keaton was amazing with our 5 month old ball of energy puppy! I love how she kept us updated, and sent pictures during her visit. She even made time a day prior to come meet our pup! Very appreciative of her!”
“Haile was absolutely amazing with our pups. This is the first time we used a sitter and we couldn't have had a better person. She went above and beyond what we expected. She gave us daily updates and pictures, which made us feel more at peace. She not only took care of the pups, but the house was in order when we got home. She even put our trash can out to the curb without us asking. 100% recommend her, we will be having her watch them again.”
About: Hi, I'm Greg. I am a lifelong dog lover with extensive experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. From high-energy Huskies and Golden Retrievers to spirited Boston Terriers and patient giant breeds, I understand that every dog has unique physical and emotional needs.In 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved Newfoundland, Baloo. He left a massive hole in my heart, and caring for your four-legged family members is my favorite way to keep his loving spirit alive. I treat every guest with the same deep devotion, patience, and exceptional care that I gave m I am retired and have flexibility to manage 24/7 house sitting, extended day care, long adventures or a drop in for walks. I'm perfect for high-energy pups needing a lunch-break burnout walk or puppies requiring a mid-day potty relief. I follow your exact feeding, medication, and crating schedules to minimize your dog's anxiety. Your home security is important to me. I keep doors locked, bring in mail, turn on lights, and maintain a lived-in look for your safety. My Cleanliness Guarantee is that I will leave your home exactly as I found it (maybe cleaner), keeping paws wiped and messes completely cleaned. You will receive Real-Time Updates if requested. You will receive photo, video, and text updates during every single visit or overnight stay. I bring my own food and necessities, respecting your privacy and personal boundaries completely.
“If I had to describe the perfect dog/house sitter, I would just say that it's Alison! Alison & her fur baby "Lucy" stayed at my house for 11 days while I was out of town. She was the only person that I interviewed because I was so impressed with her. Not only did I like/trust her immediately but so did my very territorial Chihuahua, "Baby". I was especially surprised that Baby got along so well with her sweet dog Lucy. While I was gone, I was delighted to see photos/videos of Baby, and her new friend Lucy, every day. I came back to a clean house and a happy dog. I can tell that Baby is missing Lucy, so I have set up a play date(and will continue to do so). I am thrilled to have found Alison and take such comfort that I have her to take care of my house (and Baby) next time I leave town.”
“This is the second year Kristi has stayed with our dogs and cats. They were excited to see her again, her communication is excellent, she sends fabulous pictures, and everyone was in great spirits when we returned. I highly recommend Kristi!”
“Was very communicative throughout the whole duration sending pictures and videos daily of our dog. He even has some issues with is ears that flared up while she was there and she did great letting us know about that and treating him with the stuff we left in case it happened.”
About: I have cared for my family's two dogs for many years whenever my family travels, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, administering routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I also volunteered with the Nebraska Humane Society for four years, where I worked with different animals and gained useful knowledge and skills. I genuinely love spending time with animals and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and comfortable while you're away. I am currently working part time (8-5 Tuesdays-Thursdays) so I am available Thursday-Monday full time for your pet! Even when I do have work, I have an hour break where I am able to stop by and take your doggo for a walk! I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines in a familiar environment. I follow each pet owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care requirements. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting the client's home by keeping it clean and secure. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so both pets and their owners have peace of mind while they're away. I will also be sure to send pictures as often as you want!
“Skylar did an amazing job with Wrigley. It was so nice to come home to a happy dog that got to stay in his comfort zone while we were away. Skylar left the house spotless and was a great houseguest! Would highly recommend!”
“Charlie watched our older dog while we were out of the country visiting family. I was incredibly anxious to leave him but Charlie put all my fears to rest. Her daily updates and photos helped us relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dog was in the best of hands. We returned to a happy and relaxed dog and will definitely be booking Charlie for our future trips.”
“I highly recommend Ann! She took amazing care of my two dogs while I was on vacation and she truly went above and beyond. She played with them, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. She is incredibly kind and professional. She gave several updates every day with the best pictures of the dogs. She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great hands. I appreciate her genuine care and will definitely be booking with her again!”

Hannah took wonderful care of our dogs, Sadie and Duke, over the holiday weekend. She kept us updated, made sure they were well cared for, and gave us real peace of mind while we were away! It was clear that Sadie and Duke were happy, comfortable, and in great hands! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable. Thank you, Hannah!
Rebecca was great! She stayed out our house for 7 days while we were on a cruise. She sent updates and lots of fun pictures. On the day we were supposed to arrive home, our flight was cancelled. She agreed to stay an extra day to help us out! Our pups were in great hands. Will definitely use her services again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Chalco on Rover is $42.18 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 632 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Chalco. 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 Chalco 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 Chalco 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 Chalco 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.

- 95% 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.
