“Kendall did a great job caring for my dogs. They loved her!! She took them on adventures and treated them to pup cups at Starbucks! Yes, my dogs are a little bougie 😊. I highly recommend Kendall to care for your pet(s).”
“Had Anne stay with our 9mo dachshund for 2 weeks while we were in Europe- cannot praise her enough!!! Our pup was so happy, healthy & safe :) lots of updates, communication & house was cleaner than we left it. Dude loves Anne so much! Thank you!!”
“Highly Recommend! Mica is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. Not only did she walk them regularly, but she also spent time playing, snuggling, and giving them all the love and attention they needed. We could tell they were so happy and comfortable with her! What really blew us away was the extra personal touch—Mica knitted each of them their own little handkerchief. Seriously, who does that?! It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after, and we felt 100% at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and thoughtful, Mica is your person. We can’t recommend her enough! Josh”
“Nicole was fantastic with my two senior dogs. She kept a consistent schedule, made sure they had their meds and supplements on time, and was an extremely respectful house guest. You can always tell your dogs felt safe and care for when they’re so calm greeting you after your trip. I would absolutely recommend her, she was amazing!”
“We’ve used Rover for years and never had such a positive experience as we did with Megan. She not only took diligent notes about all of my pups little quirks and preferences, but she really went the extra mile every opportunity she had. Our dogs loved her, too 😃. I will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending Megan to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.”
“Mari was great with our dogs and cats! He is super responsive, timely, and kept us informed throughout our trip. We came back to everyone happy and the house in the exact order as it was left. All of our pets were super happy - he even catered to our corgi that is afraid of rain and can have weird tendencies about going outside. Will continue to use Mari with our babies!!”
“Having Evelyn watch our dog was a great decision and one we’ll repeat in the future for sure. We were feeling guilty about leaving our nervous dude for almost two weeks but Evelyn put our minds at eases. She came over beforehand, met Otto and took lots of notes. Evelyn took care of our house (even keeping garden veggies alive in summer) and our dog and you should too. Great communication too! Thanks Evelyn!”
“Danielle did a great job watching our dog and two cats! She seems to really enjoy bonding with the animals. She was very communicative (which I like) and checked in with any questions throughout the week. She left the house clean and orderly. I would definitely use her again!”
“Absolutely was a life saver for me this past week. Incredible communication, went out of her way to be flexible for me, sent me updates as I needed them, and kept me up to date on every detail of her weekend with Bella. I would book her 100x over and have absolutely zero concerns she would be perfect for anybody in any situation! Cannot thank her enough!!!!”
“Ariel is great. Kallie is very spoiled and it is obvious that Kallie loves Ariel. Ariel obviously spent a lot of quality time with her. Ariel even offered to walk Kallie after we returned and Kallie went with her willingly. In addition, the house was clean and immaculate when we returned. I would definitely highly recommend Ariel.”
“My wife and I had a family vacation for 5 days and it was our first time leaving our new home and pets, so naturally we were a little nervous! However, Rachel made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend Rachel. She is very kind, respectful, and reliable! We love now feeling like we have someone we can trust when we need help with the pets and we are so grateful!!!! 10 stars!”
About: I have around 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I grew up with family dogs and helped with daily care, training, walks, bathing, feeding/medications for senior dogs and lots of love. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family and I’m very comfortable with all personalities and energy levels! I have a flexible work schedule and a couple of days off each week, which means I have plenty of time to take care of my pets. On workdays, I’m usually gone for 4–6 hours at most, and I work close enough to home that I can easily stop in for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and some extra attention. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. I follow all feeding and walking instructions (& anything else provided) keep them on-leash unless otherwise approved, and never put them in overwhelming situations. I take things at their pace, offer lots of reassurance, and make sure they feel loved and safe the entire time🛡️🤍
“Sammy was great! She came by to meet Leo prior to our vacation and asked all sorts of questions which really showed me she was paying attention to all of the details and that doing a good job was important to her. Sammy sent me a few messages while we were gone with updates about Leo and let me know when she arrived and left. I hope to use her services again this summer!”
“Stacy was wonderful! She stayed at our house for 5 days and took great care of our 2 dogs. She even washed the sheets and towels she used and remade the bed. Went above and beyond and the pups were happy and content when we got home.”
“Kendra was excellent with us and our dogs. From arranging a meet and greet to overall communication, I felt like she was very on top of absolutely everything and took great care of our two dogs, one still being fully puppy stage. She sent photos, left a clean house and helped us out with nail, trash cans, etc. very happy and will definitely use her again.”
“Clara is amazing. Both my dogs love her. She send pictures and sends updates during her stay. We will definitely be using her again! I would highly recommend if looking for someone to watch you pets.”
“Holli & Susan made us feel comfortable leaving our dogs and house with them while we took a vacation, and we normally have so much anxiety leaving our dogs! They were very responsive, communicative, and provided plenty of updates. Our house looked great too. They must be the best Rovers in the Indy area!”
“Olivia did an amazing job watching our dog! She was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of adorable pictures. Our little guy was very well taken care of. We would recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jolietville
Roman was a fabulous house and dog sitter. He always responded to us promptly. He came over for a meet and greet first and everything went well due to Roman's calm demeanor, and even my timid German shepherd got on with him very well after a few minutes. Highly recommend him.
Didi is always so amazing and coordinated with my mother in law since we were in such a drastically different time zone. We always appreciate her flexibility and are consistently blown away with how well she takes care of our dogs and our house while we are away. I truly cant recommend her enough!! She is incredible!!
When Ariel arrived, Kallie was wagging her tail. She clearly likes Ariel. Ariel spent quality time with Kallie. She was not just in and out. She also sent pictures and kept me informed. I feel very comfortable leaving Kallie with Ariel and having Ariel house sit. I would highly recommend Ariel S.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jolietville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jolietville on Rover is $55.5 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 1,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jolietville. 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 Jolietville 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 Jolietville 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 Jolietville 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 Jolietville. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
