“Celeste was fabulous. She was very patient with my anxious puppy and was able to win him over eventually. We had a stress free trip knowing Buster was in good hands”
“Tracy was a great dog and house sitter. She kept me updated on a regular basis, and I felt like our pup was in good hands. Really appreciate the peace of mind while we had to be away.”
“Brianne was amazing with our chaotic, nutty furry bunch! We left her with our trio of cats and the dynamic duo of dogs, for a total of five. The first thing we noticed was how all of our furry ones were drawn to her. Animals just know if a person is good. Being away is hard, but it feels better when you have someone you can trust to love you while you're gone. My wife and I had complete peace of mind with her caring for our babies. Brianne is the BEST!”
“Brian has been the best sitter we've found so far. He house sat for us while we were out of town. He was very honest and communicative. We're hoping to book him again for our next trip out of town.”
“Courtney was the perfect sitter for our 5 month old husky puppy. We knew our pup would need a lot of work and care (including medication) while we were gone for the weekend, and Courtney exceeded our expectations in every way. She was extremely communicative and constantly sent updates. Our pup absolutely loved her and was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using Courtney again!”
“Sophia was the best dog sitter ever! I loved receiving pictures of Rocket out on walks, her giving him love and just taking care of him like it was us at home! Rocket fell in love with her also! I can’t wait to use her again!! She really did a wonderful job!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets! I’m flexible! And you can count on me to - notice small behavior changes - follow routines carefully - not overwhelm anxious or sensitive dogs - stay steady if something unexpected happens We have no dogs of our own at the moment so your pet will be the only one in the house which is great for any dogs who don’t play well with others (: and, our guests enjoy having a fenced in yard and space to run! I work a standard 8–5 during the week, so I intentionally schedule pet care around that. I’m available for morning and evening visits, weekends, and I plan ahead to make sure every pet’s routine is followed carefully and never rushed. I don’t have pets of my own, so I’m able to give my full attention to the pets I’m caring for. I also have a fenced-in yard at my home for safe outdoor play and exercise. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on exercising pets appropriately, then helping them relax and settle in — often with some quiet time or just hanging out together. I aim to keep routines consistent and stress-free.
“Another stress free vacation, because we knew Oreo was in the best hands with Maria! She was amazing communicating with us and sharing photo & video updates. Oreo is spoiled rotten when she’s there.💕 I think he makes her his personal masseuse 🤣, but she also plays his toys with him and did enriching activities to keep our boy’s mind engaged. We totally trust Maria and highly recommend her!”
“Savannah did a great job with my two large dogs. I was out of the state for a week and didn’t have to worry about the girls at all. I will be using her again in the near future and would recommend her to anybody for housesitting and pet sitting.”
“Shannon was great, she came thru in a pinch when two prior pet sitters canceled on me! She was able to squeeze in a meet & greet with such short notice. Was prompt on sitting day. Provided photos and feedback. Will use again.”
“Alyssah was great! She came by to meet Ranger and he seemed to be comfortable right away. She showed up on time, asked additional questions about Ranger's care and we were off for our weekend getaway! She sent us regular updates and lots of pictures. We could tell Ranger was taken with her as she sent a pic of him with his head on her lap! Ranger has a lot of anxiety and Alyssah seemed to be the perfect fit for him. She was able to easily give him his daily medication and she took him for his walks. When we got home Ranger was happy, and our home was in the same order as we left it. However, I do believe he was a bit sad that she left. Alyssah will definitely be our first choice on our next trip. She is clearly an animal lover and Ranger loved her back! Thank you so much, Alyssah!”
About: I love all animals, but dogs truly have my heart ❤️. My beloved miniature pinscher, my “Hopper Dog,” was my world. I raised him from a tiny puppy, and we shared 16 amazing years together filled with walks, talks, dancing, cuddles, and unconditional love. I miss him every day, and he is the reason I have such a deep appreciation for the special bond we share with our furry companions. I have years of experience caring for dogs with all types of needs, including special dietary requirements, medications, shots, treats, while giving lots of love, hugs, and attention. I enjoy being a trusted part of a dog’s life and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Over the years, I have cared for many friends’ furry babies through drop-in visits, potty breaks, walks, boarding, and in-home sitting. I am grateful to have wonderful clients who trust me with their furry loves! I truly enjoy spending time with each and every one of them and care for them as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and health challenges. I am dependable, honest, trustworthy, and committed to providing compassionate care and plenty of love. I would love the opportunity to welcome more furry clients into my life. I have so much love to give, and I can’t wait to meet your special companion! 💗🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I love providing walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. I am dependable and able to create a routine that fits each pet’s needs, whether that includes medications, special care, or extra cuddles. Caring for animals brings joy to my day, and I love making each furry friend feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️ Whether your fur baby is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, my goal is to make them feel completely pampered, safe, and loved. All the Snuggles: Expect endless cuddles, belly rubs, and kisses. If they love sleeping in bed at night, they are more than welcome to snuggle up with me! Playtime & Fun: I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy with their favorite games and toys. Peace of Mind: You can travel stress-free knowing your pet is receiving dedicated, highly attentive care.
“This was the first time we have used a service like this. We were a bit nervous as our pets are our babies. But Aubrey was wonderful and really put us at ease. We were gone for 9 days and she took great care of our pets (dog and cat). They were well fed, and were very happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Aubrey and will definitely use her again the next time we take a trip!”
“Ashland is amazing!, Very sweet & kind and our Yorkie missed her when she left. ( He sat at the door after she left and waited for her to come back) Have already re-booked.”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, especially dogs. Some as small as my mom‘s Chihuahua, to dogs as big as my sister‘s great mastiffs. Ive cared for all types of pets and would love to meet many more! Recently I’ve started working part time but I’m open to work around that! I try to be as flexible as I can. If you’d like me to drop in to feed, walk, or watch your pet, I’ll be available. Whatever type of routine your pets have I’m down to follow it. Lots of pets I’ve worked with have specific eating routines, as well as walking routines, I’m here to learn what works best for you.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glencoe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glencoe on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 845 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
