About: Over 25 years experience with animals. Especially when your pet is high maintenance or challenging in terms of care. I will take care of your pet as one of my own and never use physical punishment or force. I am very flexible and can accommodate most requests. I work from home and am available most of the time especially with notice. Just let me know and we can make arrangements. Located on over 13 acres, with plenty of room to run and play and family members to offer extra love and pats. Our dogs Cooper and Eleanor are the perfect playmates and welcomes new friends. 🥰 Pretty flexible 24/7, I work from home so it is easy for me to accommodate most requests. Just shoot me a message and I will do my best to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule and needs. I recognize that play and socialization are so important to your dog’s happiness, so I ensure they get plenty of both during doggie day care.

Michael took great care of our dogs, walking and and feeding them. They had a better time with him than with us! Great with instructions, would fully recommend Michael for any dog sitting situations.

About: Hello, & thank you for checking out Angel Sitters, named after my first Heart Dog. First off, I'm glad you decided to stop by my page & see what I have to offer. I know what a big worry it is when you have a busy life or have to go out of town but you're not sure who you can trust to take care of your babies. With Angel Sitters, you can know that they are always safe, happy & being well taken care of. When you make your first booking with me, regardless of services, I will have you fill out a form so I can keep track of your info for future visits & will already have it all on file. *TO FURBABIES!* Hey guys, I'm super excited at the possibility of getting to know all of you, I know we're gonna have a great time together. You being happy & healthy is my #1 TOP PRIORITY! When I come to visit, make sure you tell Mom or Dad to let me know where the GOOD TREATS are, leash & collar for walks, your favorite napping spot so we can have a good cuddle, & most importantly, where your most favorite toy is so we can play! I can't wait to meet you! So, now is where I tell you about myself, my experiences & why (hopefully) you will be choosing me as your sitter. NOW MOM & DAD, LET'S GET STARTED! I grew up around all kinds of animals but dogs & cats were the one constant. I have had experience with puppies & kittens, adults & seniors. I have basic knowledge about giving oral medicine, injections, first aid & general behavior. I learned a lot about animals from watching my mother, she might as well be Ellie Mae Clampet! I didn't fall very far from her tree, Lol. I know I'm just like her & I believe that's a good thing. I remember how all the strays & injured wildlife in our neighborhood would find our house because they knew we would take care of them. I also learned from watching our dogs & cats over the years & those we fostered when I was a teenager & the way they would interact with each other, what they were saying with their body language. I currently live on my parents farm while I am helping them with my grandparents & helping take care of the farm, so I am unable to sit anybody at their house or watch anyone overnight, unless it is at your residence. We have horses, some inside cats, outside barn cats, & a few very spoiled dogs. Animals are loving, gentle creatures & should always be trated with respect, care & love. My dog is always there to comfort me & make my day better. My dog is my heart & I will treat yours like they were my own. Animals are a gift & I love being around all these different amazing creatures all the time. Upon request, I can take last minute bookings, I understand that things come up in life. Thanks for stopping by Angel Sitters, I hope to meet your four legged babies soon! Since I am located in Wilmer, I can stop in for dogs, cats, horses, & various other farm animals. Rates vary. This is most of my schedule. I do some online work but that can be done at any time. You set the schedule. If you ask me to be there at a certain time then that is when I will be there. I will freely admit that very early mornings are difficult for me at this present time due to a few circumstances, but I will always do my very best for your fur kids, big & small, no matter the breed or species! I can only watch animals in your home at this time. But if they need fed, they will eat. If they need to go on a walk & not just run around the back yard, we'll go on a walk. We'll play with their favorite toy, snuggle on the sofa, make sure they have a good day. Then before I leave I will make sure any mess is cleaned up & that the house is the way it was before I got there.

About: I have had dogs since I was little growing up until now, we currently have a boxer we love like our children. I have trained puppies and worked with dogs of all ages. We also have several farm animals (chickens, horses, goats and birds). Looking forward to getting to know you and your pet(s). Our animals are good with other animals but we will want to get them together to make sure it's a good fit if in our home. I am happy to discuss whatever your needs may be and work with you the best I can. No task is too big or small. I have enjoyed working with animals since I was young and hope to continue to do so until I am much older. Thank you for your consideration and looking forward to connecting. I currently work from home and so I am here most of the time to ensure they are watched after regularly. We already have a regular routine for all of our other animals. We will care for your pet as if they are our own. Happy to take whatever considerations are needed to make your pet so welcome. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I set aside dedicated time each day for feeding, playtime, and maintenance, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention and care. Whether it's a quick drop-in or a longer stay, I make sure to fit visits into my schedule at times that align with your pet's usual routine, keeping them comfortable and stress-free. My flexible availability, including mornings, evenings, and weekends, allows me to provide reliable care that fits seamlessly into your and your pet's lifestyle. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. In your home, I follow any specific instructions you provide to maintain your cat’s routine and comfort, ensuring their environment feels familiar and secure. I lock all doors and windows after visits, and keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being, sending regular updates and photos for peace of mind. If I’m hosting in my home, it’s a safe, cat-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spots for lounging, secure spaces to explore, and toys for mental stimulation. I ensure a calm atmosphere with no other pets, so your cat feels safe and at ease. Whether at your place or mine, I provide personalized care and attention, ensuring your pet's stays safe, happy, and loved.

About: I have had dogs, sometimes multiple ones, all my life. I am an animal lover, and advocate, of all kinds of animals. I just lost my Maltese of 13 years old which traveled the world with me literally. I was only away from him for two nights his whole life, and that was bc he spent the night at the vets one night, and I spent the night at the hospital one night. He went everywhere with me. From restaurants to Walmart. If I went he went. I have no children, so he was my child. I will treat your baby with the same love, and care. I have a newly build house with an acre that is fenced in. So, if your dog is large and likes to run outside, it can. I also have a screened in back porch. You baby will be safe and loved in my home. I am retired and spend most of my time at home. So your dog will be supervised, as per hour request. I am flexible and will listen to the owners request, as much as possible. I have a fenced in acre of land. I also have a screen in back porch. If you have small dogs, they can run freely, and I would stay outside to watch them. If you have large dogs they can stay out all they want. Dogs love me! They know if you are of good character, or not.

About: Hi there! I’m Charlie — the heart behind Delta Dog Co., here in Mobile, Alabama. Dogs have been one of my greatest passions for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just a job for me — it’s a calling. I’ve worked in both kennel and veterinary environments, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, training, and communication — especially with working, sporting, and gun dog breeds. I’m trained in canine CPR, experienced in medication administration, and comfortable handling everything from high-energy pups to senior dogs needing gentle care. Whether it’s playtime, structure, or comfort, I tailor each dog’s experience to their unique personality and needs. I currently operate Delta Dog Co. and work as a delivery driver on the side, so I have a flexible schedule built around pet care. I’m available for boarding, daycare, walks, drop-ins, and training throughout the week. Dogs in my care are never left unattended for more than 2-4 hours. Your dog will always have reliable, consistent care and a routine that keeps them happy, safe, and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, clean, and relaxed home environment where every dog is treated like family. I have experience working in kennel and veterinary settings, so I know how to handle dogs of all temperaments and ensure their wellbeing at all times. Dogs in my care are always supervised during playtime and outdoor activities, and they’re never left unattended for long periods. I’m trained in canine CPR and skilled at reading body language, managing group dynamics, and preventing stress or conflict before it happens. Whether your dog is here for boarding, daycare, or training, they’ll enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment that feels like a second home.

Jordan recently house sat for us and took care of our greyhound. She did a great job! Our poor dog had just broken her toe and was in a splint, so she required extra care and medication. We could not have asked for better care. She is highly recommended and we are looking forward to using her services again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Evanston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Evanston 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 105 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Evanston. 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 Evanston 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 Evanston 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 Evanston 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 Evanston. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
