“Lisa was fantastic both times she took care of our dog, Monty! She was very responsive, fed him and gave him his medicine on time, kept him company, and even cleaned up around the house and folded some towels I had left in the dryer! We will continue to use her every time we go out of town!!”

About: I have always had dogs growing up and have had cats the last 2 years. They are family and I love yours the way I love mine. I’m available 24/7 for ALL of your pet care needs. I know that every pet is different and requires special care. It is not a one size fits all. I prefer pet sitting at your home because it is more comfortable and convenient for your pet. They already have to get used to a new person I don’t like to add stress by putting them somewhere unfamiliar to them.
“Courtney was fantastic! She took great care of my dog, Max, followed all his care instructions, and provided photos and updates regularly. She also left my apartment spotless and was an extremely respectful house guest.”
“Christina is the sweetest and our pets love her. Our little dog gets visibly depressed when he can tell we’re leaving, Christina showed up and he didn’t even care anymore. He was just ready to play with her. She is great”
About: With 12 years of dog-sitting experience and 10 regular clients who trust me with their dogs, I’ve built long-term relationships based on love, consistency, and dependable care. I don’t just watch dogs—I truly get to know them. I work Monday thru Friday 8-4:30pm. Off weekends and I my schedule allows me to be very flexible to take care of fur babies ☺️ Each pup in my care is treated like family, with attention to their routines, personalities, and comfort, whether in my home or the owners home
“Ashley was great with our two elderly fur-babies! We could see that they both loved her through the pics and videos that she kept us supplied with throughout our time away from them. Looking forward to having her care for them again in the future!”
“Anna was awesome. She played with our dogs. She laid down and cuddled with them while watching tv with them. She hugged and kissed them before bed. She maintained our home and made it better than we left it. She’s a sweetheart and a special young lady. Our dogs will miss her. She definitely will be rebooked in the future. Highly recommended”
“Beth is so caring and conscientious! Our home and dog were cared for like her own. We were away several days for our son’s wedding We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We will definitely ask her again.”
“I hesitate to write a glowing review because I don't want everyone to know how amazing Kristin is and risk her being booked the next time we need a dog sitter. We were gone in a long trip and are always nervous about leaving the dogs with their medical and behavioral peculiarities. Kristin came over to meet them in advance, reviewed the information about daily schedule prior to our departure and sent back questions for clarification. She sent multiple updates every day and lots of pictures. She got them out on walks as requested and brought in a couple packages we got while away. Upon her departure she had washed the sheets, swept, mopped, and picked up dog poop in the yard (we actually mentioned this wasn't necessary and we would do it when we returned, so this was a huge treat for us). I honestly fear the dogs might be sad Kristin is gone now that we are home. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Marica was a wonderful sitter for our 2 dogs! The dogs loved her, she took great care of them and sent updates and pictures, and I was so glad our dogs clearly had fun times while she was there. Definitely would book her again!”

About: I respect all animals, and have a particular love for cats and kittens. I’ve taken care of puppies, cats, and reptiles for over five years. I can be relied on to look after your pet… feed them, play with them, do a little pet yoga, and keep an eye on them for you. I’ll have plenty of time to be with your pet and give them one on one attention. I work part time and work from home. I have a dedicated space for my pet guests, giving them leisure of my living room area and there is a large gated space in the back of my residence if your pet needs outside time.
About: I have always loved caring for animals and treat every pet like a member of the family. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own, that allows me to provide your dog with my full attention and a calm, comfortable environment during their stay. My home features a secure fenced-in patio with pet-friendly turf for outdoor time, and I’m fortunate to have a large dog park directly across the street as well as another dog-friendly area within my neighborhood. Whether your pup enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I can tailor their care to their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, and I have also volunteered with animal shelters, giving me a strong understanding of dog safety and behavior. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I would be honored to provide reliable, attentive care for your dog. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am currently a nursing student and stay at home mom. This allows me to give your fur babies my full attention and lots of love and interactive play! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. Before each booking, I take time to learn about your pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, medications, and any special instructions. In my home, pets receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a clean, safe environment. Dogs have access to a fenced-in patio with pet turf and can enjoy walks or trips to the nearby dog park if approved by their owner. Cats are provided with a quiet, comfortable space, fresh water, clean litter boxes, and enrichment activities tailored to their personality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all care instructions carefully, provide regular updates and photos, maintain feeding and medication schedules, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
“Allie is absolutely heaven sent! From the moment she started watching my pugs during our wedding weekend, she went so far above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Not only did she take incredible care of the dogs, giving them so much love and attention but she also helped in ways that went beyond pet sitting. She sent me detailed updates and made the sweetest video montage of the pugs that truly melted my heart. She cleaned up, took out the garbage, and made sure everything was spotless when we got home. Most importantly, she treated my boys like her own, and they absolutely adored her. Leaving my pugs for the first time during such a big weekend made me anxious, but Allie’s kindness, communication, and care completely put me at ease. Because of her, I was able to enjoy my wedding stress-free knowing they were safe, happy, and loved. Allie, thank you so much, you’re one of a kind, and I’m so grateful for you! 💛🐾”
“Autumn was great! I came home and the house looked like nobody had even been there. The dogs were relaxed and happy. Autumn was communicative and honest. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old. From large breeds like husky to small dogs like Pekingese, each one has been a part of the family. I love spending time with my own dogs (2 female pits) and love making new friends. I do have a full time job but I’m also available to provide care for your pet during the week, at nights, and on the weekends. I have a fenced in back yard and both of my pets are dog friendly. I also have a crate for puppies in potty training. My dogs are walked daily and bathed often.
“Reagan did a fantastic job taking care of Meeko and our house! She sent plenty of updates, and we returned to a spotless house, clean sheets, and a happy healthy dog! We will absolutely use her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - La Grange
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 154 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
