“I give Sarah my highest recommendation! We have a young puppy full of energy with separation anxiety, and our pup was at ease and happy to be with Sarah! She is very warm and knowledgeable on dogs and will care for your pup as her own! Thank you so much for your help Sarah! ❤”
“I recommend Marisol and would give 6 stars if I could. She stayed in our home and watched our large anxious dog over July 4th when there were massive storms. I did not have to worry one bit about our dog's nerves, as she did everything possible to comfort him when he was scared (stormed for days!). She followed all of my instructions beautifully, gave detailed updates, and left my house clean and tidy. Marisol exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely use her again and refer her to my friends and family!”
“This was Grace's first time watching Maisy at my apartment while I had an out-of-town trip for a night. Maisy took to Grace immediately at the meet-and-greet and was excited to see her again when it came time for my night away. Grace was understanding about my one-key situation and was accommodating for meeting to exchange the keys at the beginning and end of her time with Maisy. Grace was gentle on my apartment and sent me a few updates while I was away. Everything seemed to go smoothly! I'm a nervous dog-mom, so it takes quite a bit to win my assurances.”
“Very happy with Jayme watching our 1-yr old golden retriever for 2 nights. She sent us lots of updates and pics, which made us feel so comfortable! She followed our guidance perfectly, and I think Frankie behaved better for Jayme than she does us! :) The house was in perfect condition when we got home. It’s so clear what a dog lover she is!”
“Ashley was great!! I had no worries about leaving my dog with her and she did such a good job at updating me throughout the day and responding quickly! Will 100% use her again if I need to!”
“Ann stayed overnight for over a week to take care of my 17 year old puppy. Ann was very patient, attentive and caring towards my senior dog who can be a bit high maintenance! Ann seemed to be dependable and experienced in caring for animals, including older dogs. She followed my instructions and kept me informed as to how my dog was doing and even sent me some photos. She was flexible and agreed to stay another night when I had problems with my flight being changed and stayed an extra night. I would definitely recommend Ann to care for your animals.”
“Destiny did such a wonderful job watching our two dogs at our house while my husband and I were gone for 5 days. We loved seeing all of the pictures and updates. We also came home to a house that was so clean and in better shape than when we left! We are so happy to have booked Destiny.”
“Katalina gave us great peace of mind watching our dog Avery. She gave regular updates and pictures of our pup, and she was clear and friendly in her communication. Such a professional who wants to make sure your fur baby is taken care ofb”
“Maddie was just what our family needed. She is responsible and a good communicator- our two Goldens really felt relaxed around her and she gave them really good care. Maddie even got our one storm-phobic dog through two Thunderstorms and they had all their needs met. We felt completely at ease being out of town and leaving Maddie in charge.”
About: My name is Lauren and currently reside in Elmhurst. I am looking for pet walking jobs (or jogging) or pet sitting jobs to help supplement my income, but I also genuinely just love being around dogs. My family has had pets my entire life and I have lots of experience walking and providing care for animals. Big dogs, little dogs, rabbits, cats and even guinea pigs. I have experience raising Guide Dogs through the New Zealand Blind Foundation as well as Leader Dogs for the Blind in Michigan. I was a volunteer at the Boulder Humane Society in Colorado in my undergraduate days so I am used to all breeds/types of dogs. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or the occasional dog walk - I’d love to meet you and your pup.
“Destiny was just the kindest and most easy going person! I have a 6 month old puppy which can be a handful but I came back to a clearly well loved pup. Most importantly rues training hadn’t slipped while in her care. Also Destiny went above and beyond keeping my house tidy and clean while here.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, bearded dragons and ball pythons. I have a lot of experience and can easily take care of your pet or pets. I currently work full time in Burr Ridge from 8 AM to 4 PM. I’m available after work and on the weekends to care for your fur babies. I can easily adjust to your pet or pets schedule. I can take them for walks or hangout with them in a fenced yard. I can stick to your feeding schedule and I can also give medicine if needed.
“Alison was thoughtful and patient with our Lucy, who has separation anxiety. Alison tried several calming methods including soothing music, and we were impressed. Thank you Alison!”
“Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Everything worked out perfectly with Heidi! She is great with dogs and very trustworthy. Her communication was great from our first meeting with our dog through her pet sitting visit. She asked great questions before we left and we felt in touch with pictures and updates during our vacation. She stayed with our dog, walked her, played with her and loved her while we were away. She was a very tidy house guest, cleaned before she left and our house was just as we left it. I would absolutely recommend Heidi for someone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Katelyn was AMAZING!! 😄 she was super communicative, extremely caring and attentive to taking care of my girls, and made every effort to ensure I was comfortable throughout the experience. Sent lots of adorable photos of my pups having the best time. Overall just a fantastic person and sitter! Looking forward to our next trip knowing that my fur kiddos are in wonderful hands! 10/10”
“Quandra took excellent care of Yoshi while we were on vacation! She is friendly and communicative and took lots of pictures which is always appreciated. We would love to have her sit again—would highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hinsdale
We are SO thankful for Loraine. She has watched our dogs a couple of times now and this particular time, our one dog had an accident the night before our trip. I called Loraine and explained how she would have to now administer medication and keep a cone on my dog while we were gone. It felt like a big ask and we almost considered canceling our trip. But Loraine came through and took care of our pup just as good as we would have! She is so kind, calm, and thoughtful with them. She sends us updates and pictures and I am so thankful for her. Our pups were in good hands. Would book again!
Hannah was absolutely incredible! She watched my dog for me for 3 days/nights after my planned dog sitter fell through. She saved the day! Hannah is responsive, responsible, and reliable! She was great about working with my reactive dog and made us all feel super comfortable about it. Hannah even dealt with some maintenance folks who came into the apartment! She gave my dog so much love and attention and sent lots of pictures and messages through the weekend, which put me at ease. My dog absolutely adores her and we will certainly book Hannah again. Hannah rocks!!!
Madeline was an amazing sitter! This was a last minute booking, and she took wonderful care of my Pomeranian while she recovered from hip surgery. She was sweet, attentive, and kept me updated with plenty of photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Katelyn was AMAZING!! 😄 she was super communicative, extremely caring and attentive to taking care of my girls, and made every effort to ensure I was comfortable throughout the experience.

So thankful for Jocelyn! She stayed at our house for a weekend with our dog and two cats for a last-minute booking. She kept us updated the whole time and our pets and home were perfect when we got back. Kind, thoughtful and responsible. 100% would book again.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Jana kept me updated with messages and photos, so I never had to worry or wonder how things were going. It was such a relief knowing my dog was not just being “watched,” but truly cared for, played with, and treated like family. My puppy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. It’s obvious Jana pays attention to details, follow instructions, and genuinely care about each pet’s personality and needs. I trust her completely and will 100% be booking again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, loving, and responsible to care for your dog, this is the person you want. Absolute gem!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hinsdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hinsdale on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,135 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hinsdale. 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 Hinsdale 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 Hinsdale 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 Hinsdale 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 Hinsdale. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
