“Roisin did a wonderful job. My two dogs and my cat absolutely loved her. I will definitely be using her again in the future. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a loving, extremely competent pet sitter.”

“Kelly was great with our dogs! She sent enough updates & pictures so I wasn’t left wondering how they were doing. The house was spotless when we got home & she brought our mail in as well. We will definitely book Kelly again!”


About: I’ve had two dogs and currently have one cat. All of my pets are seniors and incredibly well loved. My best friends in the entire world! I’m currently unemployed as I am waiting for government clearance to start my job as a research assistant! I’m located in the Chicago suburbs so I’m able to provide care to suburbs and Chicago! I’ll provide full attention to your pet and treat them as my own! I love spending time with pets in any setting such as outside or indoors. Pets are a member of a family and should be treated as such!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for family, friends, and neighbors since i was 12. Ive had experience with puppies as well as older dogs that need more help with things daily. I will always play or run around with dogs if i’m not petting them. I am currently working a part time job which leaves Thursday’s to Sunday’s open! Starting mid September I will be going to a school to get my CDL license, this will take up Monday-Friday mid day, but weekends and afternoons I will be available! I’ve learned how to deal with crating dogs if needed, as well as worrying about a dog jumping on me or barking. If an older dog ever needs any assistance and requires me to pick them up for help with stairs or a porch I’m willing to do so.
“Jason did a great job watching our German shepherd and our Lab He came out to meet them before and stayed 2 days and nights. Jason is reliable and a great sitter we will definitely use him again”

About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for them for about 14 years. I have experience feeding, walking, playing with, bathing, and giving pets lots of attention and love. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re my own. “Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, and I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. “I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any instructions provided by their owner. I’ll give them plenty of attention and make sure their environment stays clean and safe.
“Jennifer was very patient with my three dogs, and took care of them as of they were her own. She managed their medications and even gave shots every other day. I would have appreciated more updates from her, but if she needed anything, she did reach out.”


About: As a pet-mom to two high-effort dogs and a very attached cat, I know how important it is to have a reliable plan in place when you inevitably need to leave your babies. I’ve professionally cared for animals since I was 16, starting at PAWS Tinley Park as Jr. Volunteer. When I moved downtown for college, I transitioned to the PAWS in Lincoln Park and Chicago Anit-Cruelty Society. From these opportunities, I learned the immense patient, hard work and empathy it requires to care for pets of all kinds and at all life stages. From abandoned new born kittens to senior dogs awaiting a home to live out their golden years, I was touched by every single animal who trusted me with their care. There is no better feeling than watching an animal grow to trust you and feel safe when you’re around. My goal when caring for your pet is to give them the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, especially when they’re such an important part of your family. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, cleaning a litter box, or an extended sleepover, I’ll take the time to learn their routines, understand their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pets deserve to feel at home even when you’re not there, and I’d be honored to give them that care. I currently have a full-time job, but work from home and make my own hours. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, and can be available for short check ins throughout the day, or move my “office” to your home to keep your pets company through the workday. I have a fully-fenced backyard with tons of grass. I have multiple areas in my house where your pet can interact with my two dogs only, with my cat only, or be completely separated with their own space. I can accommodate whichever situation works best for you and your pet!

Having lived with dogs and cats for many years, I’m reliable, honest, trustworthy, and always punctual when it comes to their care. I currently live in Mokena with my own beloved dog, and I’m happy to assist nearby areas, including Tinley Park, Frankfort, New Lenox, Orland Park, Lockport, Homer Glen, and Manhattan, IL. I work full time, but my schedule varies, so I’m looking for someone who values flexibility just as much as I do. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding or companionship, I’m dedicated to ensuring pets feel happy and care for. If you’re looking for a dependable, kind and experienced pet caregiver, I’d love to help!

If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter, I’d love to help!

About: If you’re wondering why I have such a formal photo as my profile pic (haha), it’s because it was taken at PAWS Chicago’s annual Fur Ball event. I’ve been a volunteer for years and even started fostering cats about 4 years ago. :) As a dedicated cat lover, I’m here to make sure your furry friends feel loved and cared for while you're away! ? I'll provide plenty of playtime to keep them entertained, feed them their favorite meals, and shower them with all the attention they crave. Whether it’s engaging in their favorite games or simply cuddling up for some quality time, I’m committed to ensuring your cats are happy, healthy, and feeling right at home. Your kitty will be in great hands! I’m working from home right now so my schedule is very flexible. I can also be available for last minute bookings if you need it .

“Sarah did an amazing job with my two kitties. She was super communicative and clear on when she'd be arriving at the house and what her schedule was like. She sent tons of pictures of the cats and was super responsive when I'd text. It really helped us be less nervous on a week long vacation that we had someone responsible and nice at the house to look after the cats. I could tell by the pictures she sent that they were relaxed and happy. We will be using her again for sure! The peace of mind helped us enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies.”
“Jaclynn and Nala seemed to have loved their stay with Michelle! She is very responsive and sends pictures to let you know your pups are doing okay. Will definitely book with her again”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. When I was a kid, my mom worked for a pet store and was constantly coming home with new animals, much to my father’s chagrin. I currently have a lab named Stanley, he is 8. Prior to him, I had a HUGE lab named Bear who lived to 11. I work from home full-time so I have some flexibility. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are preferred for walks and drops ins, but if you’re close to me I can make exceptions We have a half acre, so lots of room to run around. Alternatively, I am looking for excuses to sneak in some extra steps via dog walking!
“Lisa was great!!! This was our first dog/house sitting with Rover. We were hesitant having a stranger in our home but Lisa made me feel at ease during our initial meeting. She seemed genuine and extremely kind. She respected our home as it was her own. She took the initiative to gather used items and left our home very clean. She kept the dogs routines, did everything we asked and followed our home request. Our dogs were spoiled that’s for sure!!! So grateful to have met her.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gilletts
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gilletts on Rover is $61.05 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 4,750 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gilletts. 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 Gilletts 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 Gilletts 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 Gilletts 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.
