“Miranda took such good care of my home and my dog! I got daily photos and updates on how my little guy was doing. The house also looks untouched, as if someone didn’t stay there the week I was gone! I will definitely be a return customer!”
“Katrina did an amazing job with our pets! She sent plenty of check in photos and had great communication about questions, letting us know how the babies were doing, changes to her plans/check in time adjustments, and she kindly helped bring in packages! We would definitely recommend booking with her.”
“This was the first time that I had Isaac watch my dogs. I had him house/dog sit for me. I originally chose him because of his professionalism in our texting discussions and his promptness with returning messages. We had an initial meet and greet, which he was on time for, and the dogs seemed to like him right away. While I was gone, Isaac sent pictures and updates of how things were going. When I got home, I was amazed at how clean my house was. Typically when I get home from a trip there is dog fur everywhere because my dogs shed very badly. I usually tell my dog sitters where the vacuum is in case the hair starts to bother them, but I do not expect them to vacuum the house for me. However, I never mentioned any of this to Isaac, he just took it upon himself to vacuum the house. The blankets were folded nicely on the dog beds, and on the couch. He even got my mail out of the mailbox and left it sitting for me in the house. These were all extra things that I never asked of him, he just took the initiative to do these things on his own. It was nice coming home to a house I didn’t have to immediately vacuum! I can’t say enough good things about Isaac, I will definitely check with him first when I have to leave town again!”
“Samantha was nothing short of amazing! We received daily photos and videos of our baby. She followed all of our instructions. We are so happy with her! We would definitely recommend Samantha and we will be using her again the next time we go out of town!”

About: I’m a caring and dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I’ve cared for my friend’s dog while they were away on vacation, including making sure they were fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands while you’re away, and I’ll treat every dog I care for with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is currently very flexible, which gives me plenty of availability for walks and dog care during the week and on weekends. I’m typically available mornings and afternoons and can be flexible depending on your dog’s routine and needs. I’m happy to care for your dog in the comfort of their own home and follow their normal routine. I can take them on walks, play with them outside, give them plenty of attention and companionship, and keep them active throughout the day. With the owner’s permission, I’m also happy to take them on outings to places like Petco or the dog park. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Eloise did a wonderful job watching our two boys in our home. She provided messages and pictures at great intervals. It made us so relaxed knowing she was with our boys. I would recommend Eloise for your pet.”
“This is the second time we have used Sandra. She spent the whole day with Milo and Ollie and had a great day. She sent me a picture of them sunning on our deck. They love her! We will be seeing her again next week.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own baby. It is important to have someone you trust while you’re away so you don’t spend your trip worrying!! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and comfort level. Whether that means long walks, extra playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their favorite spot, I want their routine to feel as normal as possible while you’re gone. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always keep you updated with plenty of photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy :) Work fully remote, available anytime! I have weekends available as well just let me know what you and your let need and I’m there! My dog is crate trained as well to provide space for your dog as well if need be. I have 2 dog parks down stairs with a quiet neighborhood to go for walks in and plenty of room for your pet to play!
“We had an awesome experience with Kinery! From the moment she arrived, she was warm, friendly, and so respectful of our home. She sent us regular updates (which we loved), was perfectly on time for everything, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Our dogs were relaxed, happy, and acting like they’d just had their own little staycation when we got home. It’s such a relief to find someone we trust, and we’d absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Renee was awesome. She took care of our 2 dogs at our home while we were away. Our doggies loved her! She’ll be our first one to contact whenever the same situation occurs again. A million thanks to her!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for the last 1( years, all over 40lbs. I’m also familiar with dealing with reactive dogs, I was social distancing well before that was a thing 😃. I’ve taken care of my parent’s cat for the last 2 years and I’m comfortable with changing cat litter. I look forward to meeting you and your pups/kittens. I’m currently in school on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, after 5pm. The rest of my schedule is open to provide the service your pet needs. I will always keep safety first, follow all instructions prescribed by the customer, be on-time and provide the service your fur baby needs. In addition, I’m open to any communication that the pet owner requires, phone call, FaceTime or just text message to keep them updated on their pets well-being.
About: I own a GSD/Shar Pei Mix named Moose and have learned a lot since rescuing her in 2023. I've been volunteering at local shelters since then, where I care for dogs of varying ages. Earlier this year, I completed a three-month internship with the Penn Vet Working Dog Center where we trained dogs in obedience, agility, scent work, husbandry, and more. I'm currently working part-time and studying to become a dog trainer. So I'm looking for every opportunity to walk and care for dogs of any ages and size to get all the experience I can! I will generally be available after 2pm on weekdays and am flexible on the weekends. I am very laid back and will work with you on whatever works best for walks/letting them out to stretch their legs and have some fun.
“Fantastic job with our cat— took the time to play and spend time with him. Our cat got more comfortable more quickly than he does with most sitters. During our meet and greet, you could tell he loves animals. Would book again 100%.”
“Riley did a wonderful job with our puppy Leo while staying at our house for 4 nights and 5 days. She was excellent with her communication and sent lots of photos showing Leo was happy and comfortable. Thanks Riley!”
“Kylee is very knowledgeable and experienced with animals. She was flexible and accommodating with my pets' various needs (2 dogs and 2 cats, 2 of whom are senior with health conditions and special dietary and supplement needs). Everything was kept clean and she was communicative throughout. All of our pets were happy and relaxed upon our return. I highly recommend Kylee and her team!”

Yedi has been a great sitter for my two dogs and two cats! She stays at our home and takes great care of everyone! She sends updates and I can tell my animals gets lots of attention and love. She also loves to lay with them and get them exercise. Anytime we go out of town we call her!
We were so happy we chose Wendy for dogsitting our 12 year old Poodle. She spent so much time with her day and night. We received several pictures each day. She even got our fussy pill taker to take all her pills each day. We could not tell that anyone had been here all week. Our house was in the same condition as we left it. We highly recommend you give her a try, but please don't need her when we do!
Lydia sat for my 2 dogs for 8 days while I was visiting family. The dogs did just fine and seemed happy when I came home. The deal was to stay in my house where they felt safe and at home. They stayed at her house instead, not what I had planned. But they were safe and taken care of and that is what matters. I received a few photos and minimal communication. It is hard to leave our loved ones at home, but everything turned out fine.

The average cost of House Sitting in East Dundee is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $56 per night.

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 East Dundee 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 East Dundee 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 East Dundee 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
