“Kendra did a great job, even though there was a winter storm she still went thru all the trouble to make sure my dogs were taken care of, she’s very attentive, kind to our dogs and great communication with us, throughout the stay.”
“Sarah did a fantastic job watching my two pups. She has a special way with animals. One of mine dogs is a troubled eater and somehow she got him to eat his food after every meal. She sent updates and asked good questions. I will definitely use her again when needed!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Cassie’s care of our home and dogs while we were away! We have two middle-aged dogs and a puppy, and each of them was clearly well loved and cared for—happy, relaxed, and full of energy when we returned. Cassie went above and beyond in keeping our house spotless; in fact, it was cleaner than when we left, which is saying a lot given all the rain during our trip. It gave us such peace of mind knowing both our pets and our home were in such capable hands. Cassie is responsible, attentive, and truly wonderful—we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Ty did a fantastic job taking care of our anxious pups! He provided photos/video updates daily and we could see how happy our dogs were. Not only did he provide loving care with walks, playtime, and cuddles; but he also did personal training sessions with our dogs as well to help improve their behavior. He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. We will definitely book with Ty again!”
“Lisa was so patient and kind with my senior dog and cat! He was slow to warm up but she put in the time and effort to make him feel comfortable and happy. She sent lots of photos and was very thorough in communicating how koopers day went. She also cleaned my place before I got home from vacation so I could relax as soon as I got in. Best sitter ever!!”
“Emely watched my four dogs while me and my family traveled to Hawaii for ten days. I have never been able to leave my dogs or felt comfortable doing it til Emely came along. She’s a God send. She was patient with coming over to get to know them before the trip. My dogs had five star care and I will be a repeat customer. She followed my instructions and even asked me questions if I left something out. She sent plenty of pictures and videos for updates. It was a pleasure and my dogs love you so much and you are now family. Great Job we appreciate you !”
“Chaka was amazing with my girl! She has a special temperament at times and they seemed to get on just fine without me. As long as she is willing I will have Chaka back time and again.”
About: Experienced in caring for a wide range of pets and providing attentive support for elderly clients. Known for strong attention to detail, patience, and a consistently compassionate approach to every animal’s needs. My schedule is very flexible since I work from home. I’m able to adjust my day around pet care, with only a couple of short breaks to drive my grandfather to his appointments. Otherwise, I’m home and available to give pets consistent attention and care. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I’ve taken care of family and friends’ pets for several days at a time, making sure they’re fed on schedule, bathed when needed, and walked with care. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the home exactly as I found it.
“Eboni handled my pets very well! I have a mini pig who is constantly testing and needs lots of attention and firm instruction and Eboni handled it very well and I came home to a very happy pig. She also cared for my chickens well. Eboni is a quick learner and respects the rules you have for your pets and your home and gives them lots of love and attention. She is also someone I was very comfortable leaving alone in my home and left things neat and clean after a few days pet sitting. I highly recommend her.”
About: I will always love your fur baby like my own and I can assure you I will make sure they get the care they need while in my care. I’m currently a stay at home mom to two teenage girls who are home schooled. It is always someone at home to supervise your fur baby. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, with secure doors and windows, safe storage for cleaning products and medications, and constant supervision whenever pets are in my care. I also follow each pet’s routine, monitor their behavior closely, and provide a calm, stress-free environment so they can feel safe and at home.
“Averille is simply the best!! I have two dogs (one big and dumb, one small and old) and one cat (the cat). None of them have any manners and all of them are used to me being around almost always. I travel for work more and more now so a dependable person to take care of them and more importantly distract them from my absence makes everything better. Averille fit that need perfectly!! Upon my return my animals were happy and warn out and my house safe and sound. That peace of mind is not something I take for granted. Averille’s friendly, proactive approach was next level! I can’t thank her enough!!”
About: I’ve watched peoples houses and lovely pets for years, and this is my first dip into Rover! I have experience with big dogs including American Akitas and Huskies, and I love watching cats, too! I have two of my own. I would love to get to know your pet! I’m currently in between jobs, which just means I can dedicate all my time into caring for your pet! We can work out a schedule that makes everyone happy. I know that a pets environment is so important. I always check all their water and food bowls or litter boxes. Even if it’s automatic, I make a point to check and/or clean it every time! And as the owner of a bolter, I know being careful when opening the door is big! You can trust that your pet will be safe with me.
“Regina is great! My puppies just love her and I highly recommend her! One of my pups is very skittish and he warmed right up to Regina and even ate his dinner for her. Thank you so much Regina for watching my pups! Sherry Seale”
“It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need a sitter.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Hutchins
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hutchins on Rover is $55.5 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 4,163 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hutchins. 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 Hutchins 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 Hutchins 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 Hutchins 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.
