“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.”
“Keeley was an amazing sitter. Sent so many pictures and updates and truly just loved on our pet with cuddles, car rides and great walks and playtime. Left the house clean and tidy and was just a pleasure to work with. Will be rebooking her soon!”
“Kevin was wonderful. We could not have been more confident in his ability to care for our pup during our trip. He asked all the right questions and truly paid attention to detail. During the stay, he sent plenty of updates and pictures which made us so happy to see! He was prompt, professional, and friendly! Our normally nervous pup warmed up to him almost immediately which just shows how lovely he is. Ollie loved him! He drew us a custom picture of Ollie and it truly is the coolest thing ever. We’ll be hanging it up! If you’re looking for a sitter who is attentive and will love on your animals the way you would, Kevin is your guy! Thank you Kevin for taking great care of Ollie!”
“Great experience with Alex! Communicative and flexible when booking, thoughtful and accommodating to my pup’s needs, and her warm and caring spirit quickly put both my anxious dog and I at ease ☺️”
“Kat did such a great job caring for my two senior dogs. It was such a relief to know that they were being looked after by someone I could trust. She was responsive and send plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. I came back to two happy and healthy girls and thats all someone can ask for. I will definitely be booking with Kat again.”
“Gabrielle is always fast to respond & great with communication. She spends quality time with my dog while I am away which is great for my older, anxious pup!”
“Valentyna was terrific with my anxious dog, comforting him during a thunderstorm. She was thorough in caring for our dog and asked questions when she needed clarification. We will definitely use Valentyna in the future.”
“Donna and Stephen were amazing with our special pups. We even wrote a 3 page care guide and they followed every step! Even with our pups both being leash reactive and one having seizures/anxiety, they truly cared for them as if they were their own. During our first getaway after the pandemic, we were very nervous to leave them, but it could not have gone better. We will 100% request their services again for our next trip. I highly recommend them!”
“Shailyn is super patient and super skilled at reading pets! We are so grateful it has been Shailyn who has answered our requests to care for our loud, well-meaning and stubborn little guy in the wake of his sister’s passing. Shailyn is committed! ♥️😊”
“Michael did a great job taking care of our dog Scout and staying at our home while we were away. He took excellent care of our pup, he was very responsive, and he kept us updated throughout his stay which gave us peace of mind. He also sent pictures of Scout who looked happy as can be. The house was in great shape when we returned. I highly recommend Michael and we will definitely look into having him stay again in the future.”
“Jiyai is amazing !! So thoughtful and lovely with my cats. I have always been hesitant to leave my furbabies with anyone but Jiyai is so kind and warm. My cats loved spending time with her and I would highly suggest utilizing Jiyai’s care for your furbabies. Jiyai was always on time, sent me pictures, and updated me twice a day while I was on my trip. Thank you Jiyai for the love and support you extended.”
“I was terrified about finding someone to watch my little Velcro baby. But Rebeca put me at ease. Her communication with me and love she gave my baby is beyond what I could have expected. I am so happy to have book with Rebeca and next time I am in Chicagoland I will definitely book with her again! Thank you Rebeca!!!”
“Iwona took great care of my senior Mellie, who is a high anxiety dog dealing with appetite and digestive issues. Iwona was super responsive, caring, and helpful, and Mellie warmed up to her quickly. I will be booking with her again!”
“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!”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!
“Karina stayed at our house for two weeks, watching our dogs and cats while we were away on vacation. During our entire time away she was very communicative and shared plenty of photos! She made sure we knew our animals were well taken care of the entire time sharing details of walks and feedings. When we came back all the animals were happy and the house was spotless and in an even better condition than when we had left it. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your animals, Karina is an excellent choice.”
About: Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted dogs to be a big part of my life. I begged my parents for one, but instead they had me start dog sitting to prove I was responsible enough. After many dog sleepovers, we finally welcomed Kirby into our family for my 12th birthday! Caring for Kirby taught me that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and loved. When I'm caring for your pet, I'll treat them like they're my own. I'll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they need, and I'll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm working part time 2-3 nights per week, and have some weekend obligations. Other than that, pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I am committed to provide reliable care! I'll be paying close attention of surroundings to keep your dog safe! To assure peace of mind, I'll make it an intention to send updates after each adventure! And of course I will respect any route preferences :) When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of attention--my goal is to follow all care instructions as closely as possible. I also treat every client's home with the same respect I would my own. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
“We recently used Ella for the first time. During her stay our dog needed immediate care due to a bladder stone blocking his urinary tract. Ella did a great job recognizing the signs, communicating with me, and taking our dog to the ER. We are lucky she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure he received the care he needed.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Glencoe is $50
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 7,885 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.
