“Riku loves his walks with Aaliyah and I loved the regular updates I got throughout the weekend. She handled him well when he got nippy and followed all the instructions I gave. She’s wonderful!”
“Julianne became our fur babies' best friend from the moment she arrived. She took great care to maintain both Harley's and Blue's daily routines. Her regular updates throughout our trip brought us comfort while we were away. We really appreciated how attentive she was with both our dog and cat, and we would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Monica was absolutely wonderful with Luna! She kept us updated throughout with photos and check-ins, so we never had to worry. We’ll definitely be booking with Monica again.”
“Maura, thank you for taking care of Murphy overnight. We knew he was in great hands with your care. We appreciate the photo updated so much! We will be in touch again!”
“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”
“I was out of town for 10 days I believe she did a great job with my dog except I came home my brand new coach bag was chewed up by the dog my dog cage was messed up the hinges are bent and twisted my furniture was scratched she put my plant outside and fried it 😢 I am not sure why she put my plant there its a house plant. I was very clear that the puppy should be caged and watched if not bc she is a chewer. I came back disappointed and now not only I have to replace a brand new bag and the dog cage and my planr. Im not sure what to say i don't understand happened she didnt let me know i just got home to discover it. I dont know what to do about the damaged stuff. She wasn't terrible but with these things I think id look for someone else.”
“Izzy was a complete delight to work with! I booked her to house sit and care for our 3 dogs for a long weekend and she was extremely reliable, professional, and responsible. She went above and beyond her duty to care for our dogs and we returned to 3 happy pups and an immaculate house! We will certainly be requesting her services again and again!”
“Karachi took fantastic care of our two dogs and cat over the weekend. She sent great updates while we away, and left the house totally spotless when we got back. Considering this was a bit of a last minute request, I'm really thankful that she was able to come out within a couple of days for a meet and greet and come the next weekend.”
“We were delighted with the care Gabby provided for our 12year old dog and the care she took of our home. Responsive, communicative and reliable. Responded to our messages promptly and sent daily updates as we had requested. Will call on her again if needed.”
“Veronica stayed at our house and took amazing care of our 3 large and boisterous labs!! Each one has a totally different personality and she handled them beautifully! We came gone after several days being away and they were so happy and calm!! We will definitely ask Veronica to help us again!”
“Azucena is incredible and we highly recommend her services!!! Our dog is on the shyer side. But, Azucena went above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable. Now, our dog loves being with her!! She is very communicative and always provides updates. We are so happy to have found her!”
“Alexander did a great job of taking care of our dog Pink. I could tell because I came home to a very calm dog. Also, he kept the house clean and was a great communicator. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.”
“Eileen has been doing drop-in visits with our puppy for a few months now and the care she has shown him has been wonderful! We rest assured knowing that she is dropping in to look after him and he absolutely loves her visits. Recently we had to go out of town and Eileen house sat our dog for about a week. Not only did she provide excellent care, she left the house cleaner than it's ever been! Whether it's for drop-in visits or house sitting with your pups, we highly recommend Eileen.”
“Rounida was great! She sat our two kittens for the holiday weekend, including administering medication and keeping to their more frequent feeding schedule. She sent us lots of updates and pictures during the sitting. We came home to two happy cats! Would highly recommend Rounida.”
About: * 11 years experience caring for small breed dogs * Prioritize their unique safety needs * Experienced loving care for senior dogs * Puppies are especially exciting and loved * Can administer medication * Frequent photo and video updates I work from home and have a flexible daily schedule including breaks and lunch. I’m available for multiple walks per day and drop-in’s. I take public transportation so your place should be nearby a bus stop. House sitting: I ask pet owners to give me a tour of the areas of the house that the dog has access to. I look for hazards: unattended trash cans; poisonous food on floors and counters; mouse traps and bug sticky tape; cords and wires that can be chewed; miscellaneous objects like small kid’s toys; hard floors that won’t protect from jumping or falling. I ask for a list of activities that your dog enjoys. Walking: I need a list of your dog’s behaviors: 1. triggers ie., large dogs, loud noises, bikes and scooters 2. fun tendencies i.e., likes to smell flowers, chases birds, says hi to neighbors 3. challenges i.e, pulls the leash, attacks large dogs or specific breeds, eats random objects on the ground.
“Jennifer is fantastic! Our pup had an emergency and she handled everything as if Bindi was her own and kept us updated throughout the process. She will be our first call to watch Bindi in the future. 10/10 recommend!”

Rachel is amazing! We had a last minute change of plans and needed a dog sitter on short notice. Rachel was extremely communicative and kind. Our dog Barney loved her and had a wonderful time and we got such sweet pictures from her. We strongly recommend her to others and would love to have her dog sit again!!
Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs! One of our dogs can be a little skeptical of new people, but she managed to earn his trust on the very first day! She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring, and truly treated our dogs as if they were her own. She even offered to stay very late until we were on our way home from the airport, just to make sure they were well taken care of. She genuinely goes above and beyond, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend Christina more highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!!
Scott was amazing. He took great care of our 2 dogs and 5 cats!! When we got home they were happy and content. We knew he gave them love and attention throughout the week. Scott was a great communicator, sending lots of photos and videos. I would highly recommend him!
Julianne did everything we asked during a two-day overnight for our big boy. She visited beforehand to provide reassurance that this was a job she was up to. And she sure was up to it. She communicated very effectively throughout. She instantly bonded with Zeka and was there for him throughout the difficult nights of his needing to pee frequently. We could see that Julianne is very good with animals of all shapes, sizes and kinds. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Julianne for your pet support needs. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.
Savina took excellent care of our pup over a multi-day trip. They followed our instructions to a "t", took Ursa on long walks and sent regular updates and photos. They also left the house in perfect condition - even laundered the sheets without being asked to. We would absolutely book Savina again and recommend them for your dog-sitting needs.
This was my dogs first experience with Zach. My dog cried when he realized Zach had left! Zach was on time, very attentive to all he was asked to do for a needy greyhound and a lively macaw. I received regular updates and pictures. Zach was great and I will have him again! Thank you Zach!
I cannot say enough good things about Angela. Not only did she provide such loving care of my dog, but she acted heroically to save him from a vicious attack by an unleashed dog that appeared out of nowhere. Her heroic actions may have saved his life! She also took such good care of him after he was attacked and helped nurse him back from his injury. She is fantastic!
Tamara has stayed with our cat a number of times and is so understanding and patient. After we lost our dog the cat went into a depression for several months and Tamara displayed nothing but love for her. She’s faithful at adhering to a very specific feeding plan since the cat recently had thyroid radiation treatment. We’re very happy to use Tamara for pet care.
Azucena is incredible and we highly recommend her services!!! Our dog is on the shyer side. But, Azucena went above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable. Now, our dog loves being with her!! She is very communicative and always provides updates. We are so happy to have found her!
Veronica was a fantastic sitter for my 2 year old Redbone Coonhound River! She kept me updated from the second she stepped through the door until she left. She sent multiple pictures and updates everyday and answered and questions I had promptly and without delay. She is a life saver! I couldn't have asked for a better person to house sit for River. She's beyond great!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glenview is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $85 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,931 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenview. 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 Glenview 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 Glenview 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 Glenview 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
