“Simply the best! Donna (and Stephen) are hands down the most friendly, professional, and kind sitters you'll find. They took great care of our dog, cat, and house while we were away with great communication throughout. 5+ stars!”
“We would highly recommend Mae! She was amazing with our sweet pup while we were away. Mae sent daily updates, responded quickly, and was so attentive and caring with our dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pup was in wonderful hands! Mae also went above and beyond and took care of our home as well.”
“Jason did a great job watching our dogs. He sent frequent, high quality photos throughout the stay, which we very much appreciated. He gave our pups lots of outside time and dealt well with administering their meds. We’d book with Jason again and recommend him to others.”
“Rebeca is an amazing dog walker! She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated throughout the entire time with plenty of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that Ripp was being so well cared for and was in such great hands. We could tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Rebeca again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!”
About: I grew up in a dog home and have always loved dogs. I worked at a daycare/boarding facility for 3 years, and finished my work there as a supervisor. There, i gained experience in caring for dogs from 3 months old to 18 years old, as well as dogs with health complications and mobility difficulties. I also volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years as a handler for behaviorally challenged dogs. I currently work at another dog daycare boarding/training facility. I work Sunday and Friday afternoons, as well as Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I am available and looking forward to filling my time with more pups! Body language is a very important part of communication and safety with dogs. When i'm with dogs, i'm extra careful to pay attention to what they are telling me with their body! When im meeting a new dog, I make sure to avoid eye contact, turn sideways, and get lower to the ground, all things that show your pup im a friend, not a threat. All in all, every dog is different, has their own personality, likes, and dislikes. I make sure I learn and respect them so I can build trust, and keep everyone safe and happy.
“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious dog Churro! My house was spotless when I got home and she sent regular photos and updates, and handled his medication schedule too. He was happy and well cared for all week. Churro and I look forward to working with Tiffany again!”
“Andrew did a great job with my pooches. I think they didn’t even miss me after three days being gone. He was very quick to respond and was great with the communication. The dogs instantly took to him when they met him. Would definitely use his services again.”
About: Why should I be your sitter?? Great question! I have been an animal lover and pet owner my whole life. I have sitter experience for family, friends and neighbors spanning over 20 plus years. I aim to be very responsive and typically get back to interested clients in under 10 mins. I will provide multiple pictures and videos of any visit! I genuinely love spending time with animals and feel like it is not work to give pets a better life and great care. I specialize in: 1. Senior pets! I love our older furry friends and have many years of experience with medications, dietary needs and comfort for older dogs and cats. 2. Anxious pets! Animals that have separation anxiety, need boundaries when on walks ie. No petting, or triggers like thunderstorms. I have owned pets that have all of the above and sit for them as well. 3. Puppies and kittens! I know many are working on training plans that need a strict adherence. I am happy to work with goals you have for your young learners :) I believe that pets are members of our family and want to give every animal the support they need! If you need references, please reach out! I look forward to caring for your family :) I currently make my own hours so I am flexible to any schedule! I can be available for drop ins or any variety of sitting needs! I have experience with crate training and medication administration. I have watched animals with a variety of behavioral support as well. I am open to meeting your pet where they are at.
“Phenomenal experience while he house sat and dog sat for us. My dog loves him and he was so communicative and easy to work with! We unfortunately had a gas leak issue during our trip and he was not only quick in identifying it, but worked with our maintenance crew and updated us every step of the way. Would hire again easily!”
“We booked Michael at the last minute for 5 days. He came over for a meet and greet and Billie seemed to like him right away. Michael sent daily updates with pictures. Billie seemed to be great! Michael also agreed to feed our frog (he eats live crickets). We were very happy with our first Rover experience!”
“I’m very happy with the care my pitbull received. We had to leave town, and Valentina stayed with my dog in my home. She was punctual, responsible, and very attentive. My dog felt comfortable and relaxed in his familiar environment. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you!”
About: No two dogs are the same, and I adjust my care to match. I have experience with puppies — including reinforcing basic commands and helping build good habits early on — as well as senior dogs, where I adjust to a slower pace and give extra attention to comfort and mobility. I pay close attention to each dog's personality and energy level, adapting my approach whether that means more playtime and structure for a young pup or a calmer, gentler visit for an older dog. I communicate clearly throughout every visit with updates and photos, and I always leave things clean and tidy behind me. Available for house/pet sittings and drop-ins all week. Guaranteed evenings and flexible during the daytime. Let's chat and coordinate the best care for your pet! I come to your home so your cat can stay in their own comfy space, sticking to their normal routine for feeding, litter, and playtime. I handle litter care thoroughly no matter the setup, and if your cat needs medication, I make sure it's given on schedule and exactly as instructed. I pay close attention to how your cat's doing — energy, appetite, mood — and I'll send you updates and photos so you're never left wondering. And of course, I always tidy up before I go, so you come home to a happy cat and a clean space!
“Katelyn was great with our fur babies! She sent plenty of photo updates throughout the booking. She updated us about anything going on with the kids and asked questions along the way. We really appreciated her communication! The dogs loved her during meet and greet. I’m sure they wanted her to stay with all the doggy cuddle puddles! Would definitely book her again! It was so reassuring to have someone reliable, communicable, and compassionate. Made our vacation a breeze. We missed our doggos, but didn’t have to worry or stress with Katelyn!”
About: I've always had dogs my whole life. Friends and family can always rely on me to take care of their pets or check in on their pets whenever they are out of town or busy at work. I will feed, walk, and play for however much time is needed. I currently work early mornings but there is someone always at the house to feed, play and keep your furry friends company! My whole day after work is completely open so I can't wait to take care of them. Huge fenced yard as well as a my own pet to play with your furry friend if needed. Plenty of toys to keep them occupied as well as plenty of treats to spoil them.
“Melissa sent updates of the fun she had with my dogs, never hesitated to ask if she had a question, followed directions perfectly, and left my house cleaner than I left it!! I wanted a sitter who truly would spend time with my dogs as they are used to someone here mostly at home and Melissa did just that! She showed love and care for my dogs the week we were away. Thank you, Melissa!!”
About: I have had a 3 dogs over the course of my life and 1 in college with my housemates. I have also cared for my senior dog when she was terminal for a year which gave me a lot of different experiences than usual animal care. I treat every dog I see on the street like my own and always stop for pets! I am currently a nursing student looking to make extra money. The program is online so I am available often to help out with whatever you need. I understand how to do the feeding schedules, walking schedules, and daily updates for parents as I take care of my dog at home some days for my parents as well. I can easily crate your dog if needed or help with feeding. I am great at following instructions and will respect your animal and your home accordingly!
About: I have a dog of my own who is very spoiled, loving, and definitely a little needy, so I’m very comfortable giving pets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I’ve also cared for larger dogs, including Golden Retrievers, and I’m comfortable keeping up with their energy and needs. I’ve had experience staying overnight at clients’ homes to care for their pets, making sure they’re comfortable and following their normal routines while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, care, and love I give my own I currently work M, T, Th, F from 8 AM–6 PM. I’m fully available on Wednesdays and throughout the weekend, which gives me plenty of flexibility for overnight stays, longer visits, walks, and other pet care. For weekday bookings, I’m happy to discuss what works best around my work schedule. I’ll always communicate clearly ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs and routine are taken care of. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their surroundings, routines, and individual needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, which is why I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, communicate with you throughout the booking, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glencoe
Jennifer took such great care of Ref while we traveled for spring break. She took him on multiple walks a day, spent quality time playing with him, and even went above and beyond by helping with laundry. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was not only well cared for, but truly loved while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home, couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jennifer!
We cannot say enough good things about Ana! We hired her to house sit and pet sit during our vacation, and we were very nervous about leaving our five-month-old puppy for the first time. From day one, she made everything feel easy and completely worry-free. She kept us updated every morning and evening, sent lots of pictures, and clearly gave our puppy so much care and attention — plenty of walks, cuddles, and patient, expert handling of teething/nipping. It was also such a relief to have someone we trusted at the house to bring in packages and mail and let our cleaning crew in. We came home to a happy puppy and a house that was in the exact condition we left it (maybe even a bit cleaner!). Overall, an excellent experience — we’d hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her highly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glencoe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glencoe on Rover is $42.8 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 7,730 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
