“Katelyn was wonderful! She took excellent care of my pup, sent me regular updates and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was left in great condition. She was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“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 ☺️”
“Alyssa was great! She was super flexible with our schedule, she showed up in a timely manner, and she really cared for Lucy. She played with her, gave her treats, let her outside and have her lots of company! She was great and we are definitely rebooking!”
About: I have absolutely loved all animals from an extremely young age. I grew up with two large dogs (newfoundlands), and I also had a number of small animals growing up. I have had two guinea pigs, a hamster, and now, a cat! I love caring for all types of animals, but my passion especially lies with cats and dogs. I have experience caring overnight for my family friends' dogs, who are both wild and fun golden doodles. I also have cared for my friends 2 cats for two months while he did rotations! I currently own my own cat named Pepe, and I have 2 family dogs back home in Indiana. Both of my dogs at home have medical issues, and both take medications and have special needs. I have watched these dogs while my family was away for two weeks, and on numerous other occasions. I also have experience working with elderly dogs, as my late Newfoundland Lucy was 15 years old when she passed away. I am excited to work with you, and I can't to meet your furry friends! I am a full time PA student that lives in the Skokie area, so I am at school a fair amount- usually from around 9am-3pm Monday-Friday (this varies quite a bit depending on faculty schedules). Often we have gaps in scheduling, and when I am not at school, I am studying, working out, or hanging out with my cat. I carve time to play and enrich my own cat each day, and I certainly have time to enrich your pets as well! My two dogs are crate trained at home, but they normally have free reign over the house when no one is home. I am completely comfortable crating your pets, if that is what you need, by the time I leave your house.
“Ana was great with all of our fur babies in our home. She was very communicative, sent pictures throughout her stay with them, and left our place exactly how we left it (honestly maybe a little cleaner!). We'd love to have her back with our kitties again.”
“Joanna was great. She obviously loves cats and knows a ton about them, which made me very comfortable leaving her in charge of my 2 guys. She sent me updates including video clips of her engaging and playing with the boys every day. Would definitely rebook”
“Our Emie has been well cared for by Chris! Chris provides good walks for Emie, regular updates for us, and the house is spotless on our return. We will be contacting Chris again!”
“Jai pet sat for my two cats and went above and beyond! She left the house cleaner than she found it, and accommodated their early feeding times/ medications, and sent detailed updates that were very much appreciated”
“Tiffany was a fantastic house sitter for our 9-month-old puppy! She was responsive, professional, and made sure our dog felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away - which gave us great peace of mind. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Donna and Stephen dog sat/ house sat for us for an 3 day weekend. They are great! This was our first time meeting them and they bonded with our beagle, Babka, as soon as they walked into the house. They are clearly very experienced which put us very much at ease. The daily reports and photos made it clear that Babka was having a good time and was well cared for. And the house was spotless when we got home. We will definitely be booking them again!”
“Gail is the best!! She took time to meet up with me beforehand to confirm all details and meet my kitty and she was very responsive, sweet and kind, and she gave my kitty a lot of love and company. My kitty is just as happy and active when I returned home. She is super responsible and even took care of my apartment for me.”
“Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.”
“The experience with Diane was great! We will not hesitate to book with her again. She recently stayed for 4 nights with our 90-lb German Shepherd Dog. Being so comfortable with Diane made being away so much more enjoyable and relaxing. Diane sent multiple videos throughout each day to reassure us that our boy was getting exercise and having a good time. In addition, she took great care in the house. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. 5 Stars!!”
“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!”

We had a great experience with Jiayi! She was incredibly communicative, respectful, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She kept us updated and was very easy to coordinate with. We really appreciated how responsive and responsible she was, and we’d be happy to have her sit for us again!
Emily is terrific! She is a true animal lover and pays close attention to my dog, making her feel comfortable and happy. Emily also took great care of our plants and house while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her. She will be your pet’s next best friend!
Abby was great with Cubby when we were away for the weekend. We have a distinct dog and home routine, and she followed the routine very well. She was great in updating us with feeding and potty updates. She communicated with us in a timely manner and showed up on time. Her genuine care for Cubby showed through her work. We appreciated Abby's patience when there was an unexpected change in schedule and she managed the change with grace. We came home to a happy dog, and although I'm sure he missed us, it also showed he was well taken care of when we were away. We highly recommend Abby to care for your pets and look forward to having her care for Cubby when the opportunity comes again.
Christina did a great job taking care of Cubby while we were away for a weekend. She kept us updated with photos and updates of feeding and bathroom breaks. She has also been doing excellent work with drop-ins during the week. We highly recommend Christina and we’ll continue our partnership with her as long as we can!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Golf on Rover is $44.4 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 7,939 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Golf. 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 Golf 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 Golf 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 Golf 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golf. On Rover:
- 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.
