“Amber was fantastic with my pup, Kimber!!! Definitely would recommend! She sent pics and video and i knew my baby was being well taken care of. Thank you again so much!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! 🐾 She stayed at our house while we were away and took absolutely amazing care of our dogs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were comfortable in their own home and getting so much attention. She sent tons of photos and updates, which we loved seeing while we were gone. Our dogs got plenty of playtime every day, especially their favorite game of chuckit multiple times a day! You could tell they were happy, exercised, and well cared for the whole time. Our house was also in great shape when we got back, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! 🐶”
“Brooklyn has been amazing in caring for our dogs, cats and guinea pig. We have used her for many walks And now a multi day/night trip. She kept us updates and stayed at our house which was a big relief to know our dogs were taken care of even during the night.”
“Joshua was hands down one of the best sitters we’ve ever had. My fiancée and I left on a 17-day trip to Europe, and we usually get anxious leaving our two boys for that long, but Joshua as a house sitter was truly exceptional. He sent us frequent photos and videos, and when a really bad winter storm came through out of nowhere, he went above and beyond to move our dogs to his own home to keep a closer eye on them. We couldn’t have possibly asked for a more attentive, caring sitter. He will absolutely be our main sitter moving forward. :)”
About: I professionally worked with dogs for 3 years and have experience working with all types of dogs large and small, high energy and mellow, social and shy. I’m well acquainted with administering medication orally and topically. High quality photos during our time will also be provided :) It’s a priority of mine to respect your home and leave your home just as it was when you left and with a happy dog when you return! NOTE: I do not accept 90+ lb dogs that are known to pull/get riled up by environmental factors. I am pretty small myself so I cannot safely handle such dogs. This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here. I will always treat your home and your pet with utmost care and respect. ❤️ I’m in tune with reading dog behavior and language and can adjust my manner to whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable and happy.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have a dog of my own that I was taking care of when not in school. I also take care of family friends pets while on vacation and at work. I love to give dogs baths and play with them! Pet care fits into my schedule since I am a college student. Pet care can be molded into the ideal schedule and I am flexible with coming up with set schedules and routines to properly care for animals before, between, and after classes! I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and a comfortable and safe place to sleep. I love knowing that animals are well taken care of. I love being able to play with animals and generally spend time ensuring that they feel the love they all need and want.

About: $20 off my first visit with your fur baby https://www.rover.com/sit/kristg21142 I am so excited to meet your fur babies!!! I had a large Rover clientele in NC because I treat every pet as they are my own. I worked hard to gain knowledge about animals so I could give the best possible care to my clients. I started my work with dogs at a doggy daycare in North Carolina as a kennel tech and worked my way up to assistant manager. There, I prepared the food and medication for the dogs that were staying at the facility. I also was out by myself in the big dog yard with 20+ dogs at a time. That thought me crowd control and how to watch for behavior issues in order to keep the yard playful, happy, and safe. Always followed safety procedures for the safety of the employees and the dogs. I then went to Jackson Springs, North Carolina, where I worked at K2 solutions as a kennel tech and quickly worked my way up to the USM team with my previous knowledge of dog handling and behavior skills. There I handled all dog personality types, and had to be aware at all times for safety of the dogs and team members due to the dogs previous situations. I handled personalities from friendly to dog and/or people aggressive. I will always try to make myself available to care for your Pets when you need it. Right now I’m going to do Monday-Friday and as needed on weekends I will always leave your home the way it was when I walked in. I never mind cleaning messes as directed by pet parents. I come with a positive kind attitude to ensure no stress is transferred to your pet while you’re away.

About: Hi there!! My name is Jillian, but you can call me Jill for short. I’ve had animals all my life, from horses, dogs, and cats all the way down to guinea pigs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have two cats of my own, one of whom is special needs, so I understand that every pet has unique personalities and needs. I am equally a dog person as I am a cat person, and everything in between! Thank you for considering me as your pet’s step-in mom, and I hope to meet you and your furry friend(s) soon!! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which I know many people aren’t fortunate to have. Whether you need someone to stop by and let your pup out while you’re at work or care for your kitties while you’re away, I’m your go-to gal! I have 2 cats that live in my apartment, and at this time I am not available for boarding in my home, just drop in visits.
“Katy is an absolute delight! I could tell from the adorable pics and videos that my diva pup was in great hands and VERY happy. 10/10 will use her again and again. Can't wait for her to come stay with us again in May.”
“Kayley is a super star, very flexible and attentive to our needs as owners as well as the pets. She was kind enough to check in again on our dog when our flight was delayed, and gave them lots of good attention which my anxious Husky needs:)”
“Dillon was amazing with my 4 beasts. He was able to help me out last minute and went above and beyond taking the dogs on individual walks. They were very happy when I got home. His dog Bucky was so sweet and patient with my dogs, they can be a little overwhelming. I was so happy my dogs were in safe hands.”
About: I’m a certified dog trainer (CDTK) who uses fear free, positive reinforcement methods! I specialize with fear/aggression displays, reactivity and rescue dogs! I’m passionate about all animal behavior and creating an enriching life for our companions! ❤️ Check out my Facebook at AD Behavior and Training LLC! I am a full time online student (pursuing my bachelors degree in animal care and behavior), so I have great flexibility for all pet care Safety is my number one priority, I value treating each animal as an individual and cater to each of their unique needs or preferences! 🐾
About: Pets are not just animals, they’re part of the family! Whenever I take care of an animal, I like to see myself in their… paws. I think to myself how I’d want to be treated, and make sure they get the best treatment possible. All through my life I have taken care of all of my pets from fish, to cats and dogs, and even moths and butterflies! Back home in Minnesota, I used to take care of two cats, Lucky and Gnocchi, which Gnocchi is now in the loving care of my grandparents, and Lucky has been watching from above for more than a few years now. I later took care of my cat, Foxy, who has since joined Lucky and both are watching my progress from above. Now, my dog Bailey is at home with two kittens, Ava and Johnny, who are currently being cared for by my mom. I miss my fluffy friends back home, and would love to make some new ones around the area! I currently have a part-time job at Raising Cane’s in Loveland, and I’m trying my best to keep my Rover schedule updated with my work schedule. I’m free for care all week, save for the hours I am at work, but I am always willing to drop in or stay over should the situation call for it. I’m willing to house-sit full-time, but I will need at least two weeks of notice in order to take the correct days off of work. Safety has always been my number one priority no matter what job I have been given. Risks and shortcuts are something I barely even know how to do, and instructions on what the owners want the sitter to do with their pets are the only thing that will be followed (along with basic common sense of course). I am readily available to read your pet’s emotions and figure out their needs from only a few little body language changes, and I will always give them the love and care that they deserve.
The median cost per night for house sitting in La Salle is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Salle
Shanda was an absolutely amazing sitter. Our dog is very shy and timid and I explained to Shanda she would have to go slow and do relationship building. Shanda exceeded my expectations. She was so patient and understanding of my dog and followed my directions to a T. My dog quickly warmed up to her and we would definitely use Shanda’s services again.
Jacob looked after our dog and our cat. He was prompt and communicative, followed our instructions and sent us updates and photos. He was upfront with his schedule and any flexibility he required. Our girls were well looked after, and he was respectful of our home, we returned to a clean house and happy pets.
Hayley did an amazing job watching my two dogs. She communicated really well, especially when giving one of my dogs his medicine. She sent me daily pictures and made sure they got their walks every day. She also took great care of my home while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - La Salle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Salle on Rover is $52.5 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 1,840 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Salle. 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 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 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.
