“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).”
“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!”
“Chris and Liz were absolutely amazing caring for our dogs during our 10 day vacation. We really appreciated the service of them staying at our home. On the very first day, one of our older dogs was accidentally injured, and Chris went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout her recovery. He kept us updated with frequent messages and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared for our dogs as if they were their own. We came home to two happy, well loved pups and couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Chris and Liz to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, professional pet sitters!”

“Danielle was very responsive in making arrangements for her to house sit my dog, Loki. While staying with Loki, she kept me up to date with pictures, videos and comments. Loki received lots of attention, affection and playtime/exercise from Danielle. I don’t think Loki missed me at all! I definitely want to have Danielle house sit again.”
“Katherine’s attention and amazing care for our two dogs was above beyond any expectations! Immediately both of our boys were very comfortable and excited to see her. While we were away, she get several updates, photos and videos. All of which were very comforting and very much appreciated. Not to mention her quick response for our last minute need. We will absolutely be a recurring clients!!”
“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!”
“Abby stayed in our home and cared for our two Doodles… she was amazing. Communication and response time was great. Sent pics of the pups, that was fun. Followed all our instructions, very responsible. Looking forward to her sitting for us again.”
“Zoe was an exceptional dog sitter in my home for my 2 pups and I would absolutely recommend her and hire her again. The dogs seemed to immediately trust her when they first met and that tells me a lot about their comfort level and her energy with them. Zoe was consistent with communication, reliable, took care of all the pups needs and was extra helpful doing a few minor house management items (like bringing trash cans back in from three curb and watering some flowers) while I was away. Zoe is personable, kind, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend her for your animal care needs.”
“Courtney is an excellent pet sitter! She gives daily updates and responds quickly. She was also able to give our senior dog medication easily. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I have a GSD husky myself so I know how to deal with any pets with alot of energy. So whether it's multiple animals or one I'm your guy! Weekends are pretty open and I work 8-5 during the week but I am able to drop by if during that time period on weekdays during my break. I will feed and play with your dogs until they won't play anymore. I will feed them and make sure they feel comfortable with me while I'm with them
“Nicole is very patient and sweet. Even though my dog is anxious with new people, he was comfortable with her from the start. She took him on several walks and gave him lots of love. I highly recommend Nicole!”
“Kyan did such a good job taking care of our dog and cats while we were out of town. They were very respectful of the house, and made sure to let us know that Wynnie was itching a lot too. Definitely helped us identify that there needed to be a change in her shampoo to help with some dry skin. We will definitely use Kyan again.”
About: Hi, I’m Anisha! I’m a respected and responsible healthcare professional who has dedicated my career to caring for others—and that same compassion extends to pets. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’m a proud and beloved “doggie auntie” to many pups in my life. From snuggles to walks to playtime, I treat every dog like family. You can count on me to be reliable, attentive, and loving with your pet, whether it’s keeping up with their daily routine, making sure they get plenty of exercise, or giving them extra TLC while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priority. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work full-time Tuesday through Friday from 8am–4pm, which means I’m available in the evenings on those days as well as mornings before work. I also have full availability on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets outside of my work hours. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s mealtime, walks, playtime, or medication—so they feel secure and cared for just like they would with you. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also keeping their environment tidy and stress-free. My priority is to treat every pet as if they were my own, with a balance of responsibility and lots of love.

“Aliyah was very professional and Tiger was happy when we got home. She was helpful with all that I asked. I am not sure if she took Tiger on any walks, but that might have been because of the weather.”
“Hi Christopher, Thank you so much! This was our first time using your services since our regular pet sitter was unavailable, and we could not be happier. You treated our three Miniature Schnauzers as if they were your own, communicated daily with updates, and sent wonderful pictures. Your professionalism is top-notch. When you came for the meet-and-greet the week prior to our trip, we knew we were in good hands by how our boys reacted to you. We were also so pleased to see how wonderful the house looked when we arrived home; it was in better shape than how we left it. Leaving a nice thank you card was such a thoughtful added touch. We will definitely use your services again and will highly recommend you to our friends. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism. Regards, Patrick and Rich”
About: My friends and family have trusted me with their dogs for years, and I grew up with a dog of my own, so I know how to keep pups happy, safe and on their routine. With no pets of my own right now, your dog gets 100% of my attention, plus regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I work fully remote, so I'm home most of the day and can keep your pet right on their normal schedule. I also love being outdoors, so walks are already part of my daily routine. Your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and company, never long hours alone. Safety comes first. My home is smoke-free and quiet, with no children and no other pets, so your dog gets a calm space and my full attention. I don't have a fenced yard, so dogs are always leashed outside, which means no escapes and no unsupervised yard time. I have crates, toys and backup food on hand. In your home, I'll follow your routine, keep doors and gates secure, and send regular updates.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Jolietville is $48
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jolietville
Anne took excellent care of my elderly dog who requires multiple medications and a lot of attention. At the same time she cared for my grumpy cat and was a wonderful custodian of my home. I would have her house sit and care for my pets again without hesitation. Plus she’s a really pleasant person!
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.
I had an amazing experience with Eva! She went above and beyond while caring for my dogs. Not only did she make sure they were active, happy, and well cared for, but she also took the time to pick up special medication and food, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos that made it clear my pups were in great hands. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like their own. I came home to two happy, healthy pups, and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Eva and will absolutely be booking with her again!
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 of House Sitting in Jolietville is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $61 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 November 2026, there are 1,442 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jolietville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
