“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.”
About: I have struggled personally while trying to find reliable care for my kitties on rover once we moved to FL - I am happy to be able to help out other cat families in the area! I have three cats, from a 14 year old senior to a 7 month old kitten. I am familiar and comfortable administering medications (our 7 month old has twice daily oral medication) and treatments (our 14 year old girl has feline asthma). I know how to be patient with cats and respect their space, while still ensuring they are getting the care and attention they need while their pet parents are away. I can house sit or do drop ins and am happy to come by prior to booking to ensure it's a good fit for everyone! I can't wait to meet your cat! I am working at the moment but average about 20 days off a month or more that I would love to get to know you and your pets by caring for them! I have a very flexible schedule and am very reliable. I have a fenced in yard and will be able to give your pet all the attention and care they need! I am able to crate, walk, wash, feed, administer medications etc however you need.
“Courtney was really sweet. She took very good care of Luna. Luna got comfortable with her immediately. I highly recommended Courtney to take care of your fur friend. She was also flexible with the hours. We felt very comfortable and happy”
“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Kathleen (Kara) to us, was absolutely fabulous. Rosie adored her and is now.looming for her. She sent photos daily. Checked in often with updates. Left my home cleaner than I left it to her. She is reliable, respectful and more important great with my Rosie! Definitely would recommend her.k”
“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.”
“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: For the past year I’ve been helping look after my partner’s five very rambunctious Australian Shepherds, and honestly, getting to know all their little quirks has been one of my favorite things. Your pet’s happiness and safety always come first with me. I’m not working right now (starting college this fall!), so for the time being I’ve got plenty of time to give your pet real, focused attention walks, feeding, or just hanging out and keeping them company. This isn’t just a side gig to me, I actually love it. I treat every home and every pet like they’re special, whether I’m sitting for one night or a whole week. I’ll stick to your routines, keep things clean and calm, and pay close attention to whatever each animal needs. I pick things up quick, and at the end of the day I just want your pet (and you) to trust me.
“Celeste is always so great with my pup! I was very anxious about leaving town for several days but so relieved after finding out she was available. I didn’t worry at all knowing she was taking care of my pup. I appreciate her so much!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of pet ownership and hands-on animal care experience. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, and many other animals. In addition to my own pets, I've regularly helped care for my sister's farm, where I've gained experience and learned that each pet has different personalities and needs. This has given me confidence working with pets and animals of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, companionship, or just plenty of love and attention while you're away, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family member. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing dependable care and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! I keep my own work schedule so I’m available when you need me. Whether you need a slumber buddy or a walking buddy, I’ve got you covered My own fur babies have earned the right to have free range of my home when they graduated from their crates. I’m happy to follow your routine with your fur-baby no matter what stage they are in

About: I’ve been around all different kinds of animals my whole life! I’ve been taking care of my close friends and families animals for as long as I can remember! This includes experience in house sitting and caring for the animals needs! Animals can’t speak to us verbally so it is important to pay attention to their needs and wants.

I typically have my days open! My personal pets are very spoiled! I have two dogs and I take them on walks, to the park, on the boat, etc. I snuggle them any minute I can!

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.

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.

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.
