“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Donna stayed overnight with our cats and dogs and took absolutely amazing care of all of them. She was reliable, kind, attentive, and connected so easily with each of our pets. We have a lot to manage, and we know caring for all of them is no small task, but she handled everything so wonderfully. It was such a comfort knowing they were in such loving and capable hands while we were away. When we came home, the house looked great, and our pets were happy and well cared for. She is truly thoughtful, responsible, and loving, and we would absolutely trust her with our pets again. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 15 years old! I have had many dogs myself but I also helped my friends care for their animal! I have a small dog myself and I know how important it is to provide a healthy and fun lifestyle for your furry friend! I am free most weekends and weekdays, 11am-3pm, 3pm-10 pm to walk your dog and drop in on your furry friend! I love going on nice walks especially with a furry baby to keep me company! I also love dropping in to make sure your dog is safe and well! I currently am not offering boarding. With dog walking, drop in visits and house sitting, I will make sure to be gentle and abide by how your dogs behaviors are! I would never push them more than what they can walk and I would spend time to get to know your furry friend and have your furry friend get to know me! If you ever need me to drop in on your pet just to make sure they are okay I would love to! I will play with them alot especially outside for fresh air and to go to the bathroom and make sure they are fed :) We will do a meet and greet before any official bookings are made to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me!

I treat every pet like family—whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive, personalized care for your pet—whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or last-minute requests. I’m committed to keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their own home, always following your instructions and routines closely. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their routines and surroundings to keep them relaxed and happy. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, give them lots of affection and attention, and ensure their space stays clean and safe. I also provide regular updates to pet parents, so they feel confident and connected while away.
“We couldn’t have left our pup Dolores in better hands. Melanie was all things kind, compassionate, patient, and understanding with our picky eating/separation anxious girl! Not only did she bring her an adorable toy she loved, but she gave her endless snuggles and connection during her stay at our home. We were relieved to know even though our pup was watching the door for our return, that she was nurtured and cared for by such an attentive sitter. I’m way less stressed about traveling in the future knowing I can call Melanie to be with our girl ☺️”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs almost my entire life. I’ve taking care of family and neighbors dogs and it’s the best part of my day! Im currently working part time and I have plenty of extra time to take care of someone dog(s) for them. I want to help others out and this is something I would really enjoy doing! I have a dog and I walk him on nice days in my neighborhood after work and I play with him out in my back yard with a few of his favorite toys so he gets exercise.
“Michele was fabulous!! Jasper was in great hands! She sent plenty of photos and I appreciated this! She also drove Jasper to his doggie daycare, Central Bark! This kept Jasper occupied and offered Michele a break! Although I know she would have kept him busy at home too.”
“Allie was great! She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of all my dogs. She truly went above and beyond in every sense to make sure my dogs were well cared for and was attentive to every little detail. I would absolutely recommend Allie to anyone. I really felt good that my dogs were in good hands all day.”
“We were so happy to find Aliza on the Rover app. We have a new rescue dog, Cobalt, and we were concerned about leaving him for the first time, while we went on a week long cruise that we booked last year. Aliza took great care of Cobalt and sent us frequent photos and updates to let us know how well he was doing. We will certainly hire Aliza again when we need a dog sitter.”
About: I have raised and trained my own dog since he was a puppy, 5 years now! Patient, reliable, and I treat every pup like family. My schedule is very flexible. I know what it is like to need a reliable and trustworthy sitter to take care of your pets needs. I know how stressful finding a sitter is, so I treat your space with care, follow your routine, keep things safe and calm, and send photo and video updates!
“Macy is a fantastic dog sitter! She listens well to direction and is confident around dogs. I would highly recommend her to other pup parents, she is trustworthy and responsible. Would love to work with her again!”
“Angie did a great job watching our two dogs. She updated us often and sent lots of great photos. She was a great house guest and we look forward to having her watch our pups again.”
About: I enjoy working with all types of animals, Small, Medium and Large types. Places like parrots, fish, non venomous snakes and of all types critters. My schedule is very open and flexible do to my availability as a disabled veteran. My day starts at 4 am and ends as needed bases. At home, I usually free range my dog on a 50ft tether when he isnt snuggled on the couch corner, my cats usually get a vertical climb and horizontal run time. #Zoomies, multiple litter boxes with weekly care. Bird feeder outside for there viewing and chatting pleasure. Ive taken the pleasure of not wearing smells that disrupt respiratory systems to exotics and other animals like reptiles.
“Karla is a gentle and kind animal whisperer. Our pup was immediately calmed by her energy. From his daily med routine, to even feeding him by hand when he put up a “my humans are traveling fight” she cared for him with grace and love. AND we got daily pics.”
About: Aside from growing up caring for animals, I’ve worked at a dog daycare for about a year. During my time there I learned a lot about dog behavior and how to read their body language. Now, I am currently studying canine training and management at SUNY Cobleskill where I work with a variety of canine’s daily. So I am currently on summer break from school, so I can assure you I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I start my day off by making sure my babies are fed and have fresh water, followed by going out for a walk and playing outside for a little! I have a dog and a cat who is very shy. If needed I have a crate that can be used.
About: I have decades of experience around cats and dogs - in the home and with extended family pets, and then started pet care for others as a teen. Through my teens and 20s I consistently dog sat, did scheduled walks out of others’ homes, or cat play/feed visits. I’ve loved each and every pet: from Great Dane siblings to cats that rule the house and play it cool. I grew up with cats and have long term cared for a Vizsla dog beloved to me, as my own. I have experience with animals that do not get along with other animals, or take a while to get used to humans (I’ve always had an affinity for these guys and allowed them the space and time to grow comfortable with me). I live in Portland, OR but am from the Hudson Valley and back in the area to be closer to my father who is on hospice with a terminal illness. I am reactivating my Rover profile because I am working from my laptop some hours a week here and there (I choose the hours) and spending some time with my father each week. All of my days are flexible and I’d be open to arrangements based on need. An animal to hang with and care for would be really lovely at this time. My days are all flexible. I make my own hours at work and am only working 8-16 hours a week due to being on intermittent FMLA. Several days a week I would be out of the house for portions during the day to spend time with my father in Fishkill, NY. Based on directive and to minimally disrupt their routines and comforts. I adapt easily and I find I have a good energy for animals to adapt to being around me—not forcing anything and just letting them lead the way in terms of their comfort level.

Donna is absolutely fantastic! She took amazing care of our menagerie of pets for 6 days and stayed at our home and kept our skittish dog feeling safe and loved. She went above and beyond for all of our pets during the holiday for 6 days and was highly communicative, kind and flexible. Already booking her again in 3 weeks! You can't get a better pet sitter than Donna. Recommend her without any hesitation! Thank you for everything!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in La Grange is $83 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $94 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 870 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 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 La Grange. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
