About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and love the companionship they bring to our family. Very experienced in grooming and feeding and all types of care that dogs can require. Have also had senior pets that needed lots of special care that I am always happy to provide. I work from home, so here all day with my Goldendoodle. Also have a flexible work schedule for walks during the day and in the evenings. Weekends we like to take longer walks to explore the neighborhood around us. I have a fenced in yard, a Goldendoodle that loves to play with other dogs, and three 20ish year old sons who love to care for pets.
“My 15 month old husky/German shepherd mix got along well with Aury. Aury took her for a couple of walks and kept her company while I was gone...my dog has severe separation anxiety but Aury handled her well. Would use her service again.”
“Karina stayed at our house for two weeks, watching our dogs and cats while we were away on vacation. During our entire time away she was very communicative and shared plenty of photos! She made sure we knew our animals were well taken care of the entire time sharing details of walks and feedings. When we came back all the animals were happy and the house was spotless and in an even better condition than when we had left it. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your animals, Karina is an excellent choice.”
“Gabi was great with our dog. He is anxious and does not being left alone and Gabi made sure that he was comfortable and he had a great time with her when we were gone. We got daily updates and pictures of Clarence making us feeling better that he was in good hands. Will definitely use her again!!”
“We had Kaylee watch our two dogs while we were on vacation for a week. The communication, pictures, and constant updates put our minds at ease. You could tell that our dogs were loved and cared for. Whether you are out for multiple days, or just a drop in visit, Kaylee is your girl!”
About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.
“Lauren did a great job. The dogs were happy and she sent regular pictures to let us know how they were doing. She is easy to communicate with and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I have had pets (dogs, cats, horses, fish) since I was a baby. Caring for them feels like a natural task! I have pet sat for many neighbors and friends, and I would love to share some love with your pets as well :) I work as a nurse 3 days a week, so I have 4 days off that I would love to spend with your pets! My schedule changes weekly but I am very flexible with my off days. I love pet parents who know what their pets need. Leave me with simple instructions and I will follow your lead! I love to clean as well, so you won’t have to worry about returning home to a mess.
“Becca was wonderful! She was able to watch Tazer on short notice over a holiday weekend. She sent updates and photos letting me know how he was doing. I have never had someone new watch him before and she said he adjusted well. It was such a relief knowing I could get away and he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her to sit again.”
“Makayla was SO great! She recently completed a house sitting visit. She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures (which we loved), and took great care of not only our dog Kygo, but our home as well. You’d never even know she stayed here for a few days - that’s how well she cleaned up. Our dog can sometimes be unsure of new people coming into the house but Makayla was patient with him and they are now good buddies :) We plan to book more drop-ins, walks, and overnights with her. I recommend you book her ASAP, you will not regret it. Having peace of mind about our dog is too priority when we travel and Makayla exceeded all expectations. 5/5”
About: I offer over a decade of pet care experience ranging from medical-needs seniors to high-energy puppies. My background includes: Specialized Care: Administering medications and senior pet monitoring. Cats: Experience with newborn foster kittens and adult cats. Dogs: Skilled in walking, feeding, and active play for all breeds and ages. I pride myself on being a highly attentive and trustworthy sitter. I’ve cared for everything from tiny kittens to energetic mutts like Ethel and Pickle, and I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work a flexible part-time schedule, which leaves me with plenty of open availability to dedicate to your pets.

“Great experience with Allegra. She took excellent care of my pups and kept the house spotless. The dogs were in such a good mood when I returned, which tells me everything I need to know. Will definitely book again!”
“Judy was fantastic taking care of our dachshund. Dachshunds require specific care to protect their spine, and lots of patience as they can be very stubborn. Judy was excellent proving Rocky the exact care he needed. She was a pleasure to work with. We are so lucky to have had her care for our fur-baby.”
“Stacey put a lot of love and care into watching our animals, and sent us lots of updates and videos of how they were doing. I think they were better behaved for her than they are for us. I would absolutely recommend her if anyone needs a petsitter.”
“Jennifer stayed in my home and took care of my Shar-pei Chuffy. This is the first time I've used a service to take care of my dog. She was totally reliable and kept me updated with texts and photos. She won over my standoffish boy and he fell completely in love with her. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Scott was terrific and we felt so comfortable being away for so long with Alma in his care. He is reliable, calm and loving in his care. Highly recommend Scott!”

Rebecca was a wonderful sitter! She was reliable, dependable, and so sweet to our pup! We had home renovations going on at the time of her sitting for us and she was so accommodating, which we greatly appreciated!! She provided us with wonderful updates about our dog. It was so nice to know our pup was in good hands while we were away! We would highly recommend Rebecca to anyone! Overall, such an amazing experience with her!!
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.
Jane was great with Riley- understood her special needs and took great care of Riley. She provided updates during her visit. She also responded promptly to our initial questions and meet and greet request. I would recommend Jane to others and will use her again for any future needed dog sitting.
Brenda was absolutely fantastic, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter while we were out of town for over a week. From the very beginning, she gave us complete peace of mind. She sent daily updates with photos and videos, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our dogs were in such great hands. She truly went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she take excellent care of our dogs, but she also handled our senior dog’s twice-daily oral medication flawlessly, which was incredibly important to us. It’s clear she is both attentive and experienced. On top of that, we came home to a house that was in even better condition than when we left. She vacuumed, sanitized the countertops, and even emptied the dishwasher—none of which we asked for. It was such a thoughtful touch and made coming home that much easier. Brenda is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We feel so lucky to have found her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!
I couldn’t be happier with Tetiana’s services. I felt at ease knowing my pets were well taken care of. She kept me informed of anything out of the ordinary with my pets and she shared pictures and videos which reassured me that all my little ones were enjoying her company. I was really surprised to see my two most timid kittens warm up to her and be out of hiding while she was here. Normally those same two kittens hide until strangers leave my house even with me around. So that just made me feel at ease, all the pets loved her and felt comfortable enough to be out and spend time with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Kildeer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Kildeer on Rover is $38.85 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 7,648 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kildeer. 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 Kildeer 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 Kildeer 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 Kildeer 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.

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.
