“First time leaving my two Labs and the cat. They are very precious to me, so having someone come in and care for them, was huge. First meeting Brooke I knew she was going to be awesome, they loved her. If your looking for someone to give you a peace knowing your precious pets will be well taken care of, Brooke is your go to. I definitely will be calling her again.”
“Rover Review We had a great experience with our sitter! She took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away, and when we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. The house was also left clean and in great shape, which we really appreciated. She was very attentive to the dogs while she was there and gave us updates without overwhelming us with constant messages, which made being away much less stressful. We really appreciated being able to enjoy our trip knowing the dogs were in good hands. We would definitely have her stay with them again!”
“We were in a last-minute bind with an unexpected puppy and nowhere to board her and our other dog for a week (our puppy hadn’t had all of her shots yet). Dillon scheduled an impromptu Meet and Greet the day before we left. And was able to come to our house and watch all of our animals. I was very nervous to have a stranger in our home but I read all of the reviews on Rover and took a chance. Dillon is very mellow - as is his pup. We were grateful Dillon (and Bucky) were a good fit in our situation.”
“We had such peace of mind with Jessica staying w/ our pups while we were out of town. She sent videos/pictures every day and let us know how things were going. We will definitely have her back!!!”
About: I am just getting started here but my sister has found a lot of work on this app and I’m jealous of all the time she is spending with adorable fur babies! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, dogs and cats, so I’m happy to feed, walk, cuddle, and watch over your pets as needed! Just moved into my first apartment and have a (teenage) kitten. I am mainly free in the evenings with more open flexibility on weekends! Until then, it’s just my 6 month old kitten I’m looking out for! I’m very flexible and willing to take on whatever the normal routine is in the client’s home! On top of providing plenty of attention and love, I will feed, walk, and take your pets for potty breaks as needed. Any other specific needs you have, just let me know!
“Coral took very good care of Cookie. Coral gave us daily updates and even gave us an overall update. Coral was communicative and paid close attention to detailed requests. She took care of our place like it was her own and when we got back it was the same as when we left.”
“Mckinnley did a great job watching Zeke and Charlie! It was so nice to come home to them and not having them all stressed out from being in the kennel! She sent photos of them and they looked so happy! I know she spoiled them just like we do!”

“This was a 1st time experience for me, leaving a puppy, in a new environment. Matt exceeded my expectations! It was comforting to know my Quin was being so well taken care of. From the get go they connected and it was heartwarming to see how adaptable she was. I couldn’t be more pleased!”

“Erika took care of our dog Izzy and cat Leo in our home while we were on vacation for 10 days. Her communication was great! She consistently gave us updates. Izzy needed some lite physical therapy, and she took care of that too. I felt comfortable having her in our home taking care of our pets. She really seemed to bond with them and they took to her as well. She also kept the house neat which was a plus.”

I have a lot of time on the weekends and later in the day to be able to take care of your dogs. I will do whatever it is I'm allowed to do with your dog in your house.

“Nayla was professional, kind, and thoughtful about how we wanted our sweet older cat’s experience to go while she stayed at our house for this past long weekend. Our cat was so happy and not stressed when we got home, which was such peace of mind for us and him! We will definitely book her for our next trip.”

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 Salle 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 Salle 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 Salle 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
