“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”
“Arie has been a great sitter for my dog Millie. She is very responsive and truly cares for your pets, sharing fun moments and asking questions when they come up. I’m very grateful for Arie’s help when I have to travel for work, and I know my girl Millie loves when she comes to visit and play! ☺️”
“Nicole was very attentive and super communicative while we were away. The pets (dog + 2 cats) were well cared for and the house was just as we left it. We got plenty of pictures and videos that the kids enjoyed. Would 100% book again.”
“Haley and Emphraim were incredible! We were nervous leaving for 3 weeks, but the daily updates of our happy dog gave us enormous peace of mind throughout. We (and our dog!) could not be happier working with them.”
“Dominique is easy to work with, communicative, and responsive! She stayed with our dog for a few days and took great care of her and our apartment. We will definitely work with Dominique again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jocelyn, a dependable and caring pet sitter based in Chicago. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, turtles, and guinea pigs, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of love and attention, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to learn their routine so they feel at ease. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and affection. I can easily accommodate their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel at home. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like family and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind.
“Katalina was great while watching our dog and cat! She was responsive and left our home spotless! Thank you for helping us get away for a few days… not easy to do with 3 kiddos these days. It was such a relief to not have to worry about the animals. I would def recommend her!”

“Vanessa was awesome. My other dog sitter cancelled two days before I was supposed to leave for out of town. Vanessa responded quickly to my request for last minute booking and came that night to meet me and lulu. While i waa gone, she freqiently sent me pictures and update on my dog which I loved! She also quickly responded when I asked questions. No issues or concerns and will definitely use her for sitting again in the future!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life, helped with training, and often would dog and house sit for friends and family. I've attended several dog training courses with some of my own dogs, as well as researching and practicing on my own. I've helped a close friend and my sister do basic training with their own dogs. I also have 2 cats, and am careful to adjust treatment of all my animals to their personality and needs! I am available Mon/Tues/Saturday. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday with advanced notice. I am only available Sundays and/or Fridays upon request and with at least 3 weeks notice. I currently work part time in the service industry and am getting ready to go back to school for a career change. My schedule is mostly flexible, but I do have a commitment to my other job as well. I'm happy to work with anyone who needs me during unavailable days, don't be afraid to ask and we can see if we can work it out! My dog is not dog friendly, so I do not do any care at my residence. However, it means I am experienced with dogs who need a bit more awareness in their care than others! I'm attentive and firm, and am willing to go for a 2 hour hike or rest in the house depending on their needs.
“Sharett was amazing to work with and my dog Roo absolutely adores her. She was professional and communicative while staying at my home looking after Roo. Her background expertise with dogs shows. She even went above and beyond and continued to help with Roo’s muzzle training as we work on her fear reactivity with other dogs in the big city. If you are in the South Loop Chicago area, I definitely recommend. Thank you Sharett!”

I would highly recommend Karen as a pet sitter. She stayed in our house and took care of our senior dogs for 4 days; she was very conscientious, and the dogs were in good shape when we got back. She was very neat and tidied up after herself! I would definitely book her again if needed.
Haley was amazing! She accommodated my last minute request and I was so thankful. She sent so many cute pictures and updates on my dogs. It was so nice to be on vacation and not worrying if my dogs are being taken care of. I came home to 3 very happy and well taken care of dogs and a spotless house which is always a good feeling after traveling all day! I will definitely be using Haley again in the future.

The average cost of House Sitting in Evergreen Park is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $77 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.

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 Evergreen Park 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 Evergreen Park 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 Evergreen Park 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.
