“Robin kept my fur babies happy and safe over my four-day trip. I have two senior pets on special medication and she was able to keep them on their routine in our own home so they didn’t have to be stressed out going to the kennel. She’s really nice and laid-back. she’s also very communicative, and sent lots of photos so we would know how they were doing. Our pets were happy to see us, but not stressed out when we got home. She is really great. We will use her again!”
“Kiri watched out 2 dogs over the weekend and our German Shepherd and Beagle both were happy and not stressed at all when we got home. We attribute this to how well Kiri treats them. We will be asking Kiri back 100%. She is great!”
About: With over a decade of experience in animal husbandry, I care for pets of all ages and species. I’ve provided reliable pet sitting through college and now as a biology professor, handling everything from daily routines to medications and special needs. My goal is to keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for just as if you were home. Flexible for mornings, nights, and extended stays. I teach from morning to midday on weekdays. I usually wake up early to spend time with client’s pets or my own and have plenty of time to work in enrichment time and meals in the evening. It’s very important to me to provide a sense of normalcy to your pet. I may start out as a stranger but your pet and I will soon become best buds. I keep a strict schedule for check ins and they very quickly pick up that I’m keeping with the program and this eliminates a lot of their stress. I prefer to stay in your home and stick to your walk schedule (unless you’d like a field trip to a walking trail) so that the only change they have to deal with is missing you!
“Allison took great care of our 4 dogs, cat and bird over the weekend. She sent us some great photos of the dogs and all of them looked quite comfortable and relaxed with her, we wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Haley did a GREAT job watching my furbaby! I booked her for a weekend stay at my house and she took great care of my dog, Peanut...feeding her, giving her medication, walking her etc. She sent pictures every day and made me feel at ease. Will definitely book again :) Thank you, Haley!”

About: i love animals of all kind, kitties and doggies have a special place in my heart, i grew up and live around caring for them so i know a think or two!! 🐶🐱 I’m currently working at my mothers shop and will be doing rover on the side, I can and will work 7 days a week 24 hours a day. Safety is a huge concern in my rule book, I will always prioritize the animals. I understand when meeting new pets you must be patient and understanding as it takes time. This field is required.
“Nikki was amazing! We used Nikki for 3 days and 2 overnights and we have 3 dogs, 3 Cats, and a rabbit. As I’m sure if you are reading this your animals your animals are your fur “babies”. Nikki made sure to give use updates and pictures throughout each day and not once did we have to ask about our fur babies because how well she updated us. She kept the same routines that we have with all our animals. She went above and beyond with changing cat litter, picking up dog poop and etc. when we got home the house was cleaner than how we left it for her. We could tell how happy our fur babies were with her and could tell they missed her when she was gone. Anyways it was truly a wonderful experience with Nikki”

I have always trained my own from potty training, crate training, to shaking hands, and have always done amazing with them. I’ve rescued several animals and strays. I absolutely love all fur babies and enjoy taking them on hikes and would love to take your fur baby on a hike or to play fetch.

My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.
“Garrison was amazing! Our dog got hurt before we left and he was so caring and patient with her. He played so much with our cat that I think he will find us boring now that we’re home. He kept the house so clean and updated us so much. I will definitely use him in the future and so should YOU!”
“Ciara was excellent with our dogs. She was easy to communicate with and the dogs seemed to get along well with her. She sent several photos while watching them. We don’t usually travel without our dogs, but we would definitely rebook with Ciara if we were not able to take them with us.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 77 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glencoe. 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 Glencoe 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 Glencoe 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 Glencoe 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
