Cheyenne took amazing care of our pup! He was sick right before we left for almost 2 weeks and she administered all his medications, sent us lots of photo/video updates and was super responsive. Highly recommend!

Dolly had a fun, relaxing time in Khalia’s care. We’re so grateful Khalia was available to play and keep Dolly company while we visited family.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

We would highly recommend Katie as a dog sitter! Our two dogs, Toby and Boo, tend to be very nervous with strangers, but they instantly felt comfortable with Katie. She has a welcoming presence that animals find calming, comforting, and safe. We will definitely use Katie in the future to sit with our dogs.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a beloved Cocker Spaniel to two Giant Schnauzers and later a Pit Bull. Each one helped shape my love and understanding of animals and taught me how unique every pet’s personality can be. Today, I’m the proud owner of a French Bulldog who keeps me on my toes and a pet snake, giving me experience caring for both traditional and exotic pets. I’ve also spent time around cats through friends and family and am comfortable caring for feline companions as well. While attending Ball State University, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping care for animals and supporting their daily needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or senior, I understand the importance of providing patience, attention, and loving care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for my own pets and understand the importance of consistency, attention, and reliability. I work as a State Farm agent in Chicago’s West Loop, and because it is a family-owned business that my family manages and operates daily, I have some flexibility within my schedule when needed. During the week, I am available for pet care before work, after work, and during my lunch break. Depending on the day and my workload, I may also have additional flexibility to accommodate specific care needs. On weekends, I typically have more availability and can provide extra time and attention for walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and companionship. I am careful not to overbook myself because I believe every pet deserves quality care and attention. When I accept a booking, you can trust that I have the time and availability to provide dependable, attentive care and ensure your pet remains safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding services in my home due to my own pets. However, I am happy to provide a variety of other services, including drop-in visits, dog walking, overnight stays, and personalized in-home pet care. My goal is to ensure your pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment while receiving the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs playtime, feeding, medication administration, exercise, or simply a reassuring presence while you’re away, I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

Karen is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She took care of our cats while we were away for about 2 weeks. Our cats are elderly and are not the easiest to deal with, Karen was attentive to their special needs and just went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We travel often and will use her again and again

About: Ive always had a love for animals, there was never a time my house didn’t have at least one. I have taken in strays, fosters and cared for friends and families dogs when in need and they always bring them back. I currently work Tuesday and Thursday evening and go to church on Saturdays. I am usually home otherwise so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets, play and take them out. I am very flexible and can fit the needs depending on your pet. I am always attentive when caring for any animal and am good at following plans and schedules that they have. I am able to take dogs out and or walk them. I have an enthusiastic cane corso myself so I am very use to larger animals and can handle many behaviors even if needing to work on them.

About: I have two dogs of my own, both American Bullies, and I’ve grown up around dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I have experience with all stages of a dog’s life and understand how important it is to keep them happy, active, and engaged. I make sure every fur baby gets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime so they’re never bored or feeling neglected. Most importantly, I want both the pups and their parents to feel comfortable, happy, and completely satisfied with their care! 🐾❤️ I currently work at Silver Stallion Ranch, where I help with pony parties and petting zoos. While my schedule can vary depending on scheduled events, I’m flexible and will always make time to give your furry friends the attention, care, and exercise they need. I’ll work with your schedule to make sure your pets are well cared for, happy, and never feel neglected! I let my two dogs out every morning and throughout the day, and I feed them in the morning and evening to help maintain a healthy weight. I also make sure to spend plenty of quality time with my fur babies whenever I can. Whatever routine and schedule you have established for your dogs, I’m happy to follow it! I understand that consistency is important, and I’ll make sure your pups’ normal routine is maintained while they’re in my care.

About: I'm a lifelong beneficiary of the Cat Distribution System, a proud failed foster and a registered cat colony caretaker. I've cared for newborn kittens to 24-year-old seniors and everything in between. Dogs and I are also friends. I'm self-employed and make my own schedule, so I'm happy to work around your pet's needs. I'm flexible in terms of days, nights and weekends. My goal is to be the kind of sitter I appreciate for my own pets: reliable, responsive and open to animal shenanigans. I'll take care of your pets and your home as if they're mine.

Camryn was truly AMAZING! She is super friendly, my dogs love her, she is thorough, follows instructions, asked important questions when needed, and was 100% trustworthy while staying in our home to watch our fur babies. One of our senior dogs is iffy meeting new people and takes a while to warm up. Camryn followed the instructions I left her regarding keeping him separate from her other than during potty break times. She was able to provide immaculate care for him, even in a more challenging situation than typical. My other two dogs loved the attention she provided them while we were away, and they were cared for equally as well! We definitely will book with her again in the future! Thanks again, Camryn!

Grace was everything we needed and everything our dogs and cats needed! Two of my dogs need meds and they got those without any problem. They all ate for her (one is pretty timid but Grace found a way!). They even snuggled on the couch with her and slept next to her overnight! The house was spotless when we came home - she even took out the trash and brought the trashcans in from the curb! Her communication was great - gave me updates, photos, and even a couple of videos :-) If you have read this far, please do not hesitate to hire her!

FAQs for House Sitting - East Hazel Crest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in East Hazel Crest on Rover is $27.75 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 7,185 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Hazel Crest. 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 East Hazel Crest 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 Hazel Crest 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 Hazel Crest 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Hazel Crest. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.
