“Vanya is incredible!! Our dogs fell absolutely in love with her. She sent many pictures and videos and we could tell the dogs were having a blast playing with her each day. She went above and beyond by cleaning the house and giving one of our dogs a bath (it's so nice coming from vacation to a clean house!). Honestly the best dog sitter experience ever - we plan to be a repeat customer. Don't think twice about booking Vanya, you will not be disappointed! I can't say enough good things about our experience!”
About: I had several dogs when i was in high school. I worked in a dog daycare so I'm used to watching 8 to 17 dogs at once. I also learned about dog behavior so I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs. I'm doing Rover full-time so I will have lots of time to spend giving your best friend all the belly rubs and pets they desire! I have 2 bunnies and a corgi at home and I always make sure they have lots of love and attention and that's what I'll do for your fur baby!
About: Welcome pet parents my name is Leandra Hanner. I bring a fun approach to pet care. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with cats! I’m comfortable with high energy dogs along with gentle care for seniors. When you book with us your pet becomes part of the family. I know leaving your pet can be hard so I try to make the transition as stress free as possible. My approach to pet care is simple patience, love and reliability. I’m happy to offer dog boarding in our home, and cats are in home services only. I’ve worked with many different dogs and happy to accommodate based on their routine and personality . Book with me! Hi I’m Leandra and together with my husband we offer a loving and reliable pet care service through rover. I’m currently a SMC student and work as in home care aid for elderly, who has a soft spot for animals. We bring a compassionate and attentive approach to every pet we look after. My husband doesn’t work weekends at all and together we’re pretty much always available to ensure your furry friend feels at home and gets the attention they deserve. We’re excited to welcome your pet into our home and treat them like family. Welcome! My name is Leandra and Mark ,dedicated animal lovers providing a safe welcoming home for your dog! I live in a quiet solo apartment ( no shared walls). With plenty of room for dogs to roam and feel cozy and secure.

Leash safety- We will bring every dog out on a leash during outings for safety.

My pets- I have 3 dog friendly cats who can retreat to their own space and even be separated if needed. Trust- I am happy to provide frequent updates and photo updates to give you peace of mind while you are away. Environment- We keep our apartment clean and tidy and pet friendly. We always have water out and will make sure the cat’s food is up high so the dog can’t eat it. Your dog will get tons of attention and affection while staying with us along with a stress free environment and home like setting. Happy to provide walks and lots of playtime.
“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“Troy did a fantastic job sitting for our Golden Retriever, Dory, while we were away for the weekend. He also took care of feeding the fish in our aquarium and attending to a few household items that went above and beyond what we expected him to do. So glad to have Troy on call through Rover to help with our pet sitting needs.”
“Mallory was so wonderful to our Izze and Maggie. I appreciated the daily communication and photo updates. This was the first time we went away and didn’t have the worries of them being taken care of to our standards, she certainly exceeded those.”
“Bethanie took great care of my 4 year old cavapoo Lucy on a 4 day housesit! She sent updates and pictures each day (including of my girl snuggled up in bed with her), reassuring me that Lucy was doing well. She was flexible with my schedule and asks and my home looked just like it did when I left! Thanks Bethanie 🖤”
About: I've always had a passion for animals even since when I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always some sort of animal in the house, but the animals that really impacted my life was a German Shepherd Corgi and Husky mix named Noah and I had a cat named Meow Meow.They were both my best friends and were so protective and sweet. They are reason why I care about animals and am interested in working with animals. I can do anything such as feeding, changing water, administering medication, letting them go potty/ cleaning litter boxes, and of course providing all the cuddles. I would love to chat and to meet your animals and give them the best care that they deserve! I work at a vet clinic for 12. And possibly will be taking classes online. All I need is WIFI. On the weekends I am completely free. I will not be able to take in pets into my home. I will provide a safe, secure and loving environment for all breeds I pet sit. My care will leave pet parents confident in my ability to care for their pet in positive ways that meet the pet needs and more some.
“Because of a family emergency that took us out state, Jeremiah stepped up and took care of our fur babies with very little notice. He stayed at our house overnight with our pets. He sent daily photos of both our pets and answered any questions we had. When we got home, our babies were happy and the house was clean. We would absolutely hire Jeremiah again!”
“Emily is a SuperHero! She accepted our last minute booking to care for our highly anxious rescue pup overnight. Chloe bonded with her quickly (a miracle in itself) and spent the next full day on great walks and much back yard play time with a ball. We are literally amazed as Emily is the first non family member that Chloe allowed into her trust circle.”
“Took care of our two dogs (young hound and elderly rat terrier) for several days while my family and I were out of town. Kept constant updates which is important as our elderly dog does need sone extra care and attention. On top of caring for our dogs Gina took care of our weekly trash/recycling and daily mail. Sydney (her dog) also got along well with our younger dog and kept each other company by playing all day. I would definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”
About: I have experience taking care of senior dogs, large breed dogs, breeds that have been “deemed aggressive,” small dogs and so on! I currently am mom to a 4 year old boxer pit mix who I rescued from the shelter 2 years ago when he was going to be euthanized for “being too large and taking up space.” It’s safe to say that your large dogs will be safe with me, as they have a special place in my heart! I enjoy the time I spend with every dog I take care of, and I promise to take your furry friend on adventures and I promise to keep them enriched during their time with me! I understand how hard it is to be away from your pet, and knowing they are in good hands and adventuring makes the time away easier. I also have experience with dogs that are more active than others and who need more enrichment than other dogs. I’m a pro at making a frozen Kong, frozen lick mat, or a treat puzzle! I work full-time but maintain a highly structured daily routine centered around my two dogs. I am fully available for walks and drop-in visits during early mornings, evenings, and all day on weekends, ensuring your pet gets dedicated, reliable care. I do not care for pets in my home but I am willing to do drop in visits, walks or even extended stays with my clients pets. I care for every dog as I do my own, and I will strictly follow the rules that the client has laid out for me (for example, if your pet needs to be crated at a certain time, I will ensure that they are crated at that time!)
“Morgan was very friendly and receptive of all the house sitting instructions I provided. She took great care of my anxious dog Athea and my three cats, even on last-minute booking. I will definitely be rebooking and would recommend her to others :)”
“Amie is phenomenal!! She really stepped up for us this past week when we were on vacation, she went above and beyond. Our house was badly hit with storms and she kept the pets and home safe. She’s not just your standard sitter, she’s so much more than that. We’re beyond blessed that she came into our lives and was able to take care of our fur babies for us. Took great care of our home, even cleaned out the fridge from losing power, ended up injuring her own knee on Mudd but didn’t skip a beat. Our puppy hadn’t been through storms yet and come to find out he absolutely hates them, she made him feel so comfortable. The communication was outstanding!! We will be using her without a doubt for all future trips. Thank you Amie from the bottom of our hearts!”

FAQs for House Sitting - La Grange
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Grange. 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 La Grange 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 La Grange 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 La Grange 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 La Grange. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
