“Greg did an excellent job taking care of the boys and the house. The boys loved him. I am not sure they missed us at all. We would definitely have him watch our boys again.”
“Haeli is the best! My girls loved her. I won’t hesitate to use her again. She communicates so well and was so responsive.

“Mark was an amazing house sitter for us and we even quickly rebooked to use him again in December. He sent us a ton of pictures daily and regularly. This is something I very much appreciated getting constant updates/pics throughout the day, every day. This brings so much peace of mind while we are away. Would highly recommend Mark!”
“Highly recommend Kodi! She was able to accommodate my two bostons, one of which was recovering from a back injury and required special care and medications. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the weekend I was gone which was such a relief. I would definitely use Kodi again.”
“I can’t say enough about what an amazing job Kristi did. I would highly highly recommend her services. She communicated on a regular basis. I’ve used sitters before where they were just “there”. Kristi actually spent time interacting with my three dogs. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities. She asked questions about what they liked and didn’t like and even took time to brush them. Five stars!!’”
About: I have taken care of many animals from a young age, my love for animals and dogs has always been a big thing for me. I previously worked at a ranch and dog boarding facility where I worked with all breeds and many many animals at once. I’ve always watched family/friends dogs while they are out of town. I would love to spend some time with your animals as well🥰 I am available at just about anytime with a short heads up, I am currently taking time to look for a new job so I will have pleanty of time to look after and tend to your pups!

“Justin was a great and trusted sitter for our boy while we were gone overnight. Took wonderful care of him and was an excellent communicator. Sent us photos and took great care of the house. Cleaned up after himself which was very thoughtful! Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an in home sitter.”
About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: My experience caring for dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. As a rescue dog mom, I have a special place in my heart for shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs dogs. I understand that building trust takes time, and I always use a gentle, positive, non-violent approach. I’m comfortable following specific routines, administering care as instructed, and giving pets the extra reassurance they need to feel safe. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. 🐾 I work Sundays through Wednesdays, with long shifts on Sundays, so I’m unavailable that day. Monday through Wednesday, I’m happy to care for pets as long as they’re comfortable being home alone while I’m at work. My home is dog-proofed, and I’m comfortable with dogs who are not kennel-trained or who have free roam of the house. I want every dog to feel safe and comfortable in an environment that suits their needs! My home has a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and a walking trail right out back for walks and good sniffs! I have one shy but friendly small pup who loves people and typically lets other dogs make the first move. She is very gentle and respectful of other dogs’ space, making her a great companion for dogs who enjoy having a calm canine friend around. I want every dog in my home to feel safe, comfortable, and free to settle in at their own pace.
“My dogs love her and I can tell she treats them like her own fur babies. There was an incidence and she notified me promptly. Fortunately everything was okay but I am very appreciative of her open communication and attentiveness. She’s so sweet and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Claire was an absolutely wonderful house sitter and took excellent care of our home and our four pets — Murphy, Jack, Milo, and Sophie. It was clear from the start how much she genuinely loved and cared for animals. Our two dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and our cats received just as much attention and affection. Claire kept us updated during her stay, with pictures and comments, and treated our home with respect, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. We would gladly welcome Claire back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible house sitter.”
“Always punctual, communicative, clean and flexible! One of our pups was being finicky on this trip and Kat kept us up to date and was very committed to making the weekend a good experience for everyone! The photos and videos she sends are always the best as well!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chalco
Sydney did a great job sitting our two small dogs while we were out of town for a week. She kept us informed with regular updates and photos. She was also conscientious about keeping our house clean and safe. We hope she's available next time we travel; we would gladly have her back.
Shaylee was fantastic with my cat! She took the time to understand his special diet and handled his twice-daily feesings with complete care and attention. He quickly warmed up to her, and the frequent updates and photos she sent gave me complete peace of mind. She is completely trustworthy, attentive, and clearly loves what she does I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Chalco is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 649 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Chalco. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
