About: Not only have I grown up taking care of and loving animals since I was a child, I have also made it my full-time job. I am currently a student at Penn State University majoring in Animal Science, and I have hands on experience with all sorts of animals, including domestic and exotic. I have worked at both a wildlife rehabilitation center and an accredited zoo so I can ensure you that your loved one will be in the best hands when they are in my care. I'm currently a full-time student who is home most days by 4 and some days sooner, so I'm available for whenever you need a night out on the town and want a diligent guardian to watch over your pets. I'd love to swing by and make sure they have everything they need, whether that's someone to play with and get their energy out or a quiet companion to keep them calm. My current residence doesn't allow for pets but I have had dogs and cats since before I could walk. If you allow me to watch over your pet at your residence, I promise to be respectful to you and your property always.
About: Growing up, I've helped train and take care of 2 cats, 5 dogs, and at one point 9 puppies. I can speak Spanish at a conversational level. And I probably will enjoy playing and going on walks just as much as the pet will. I am currently in college as a full time student. This year I have a large break Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays in the middle of my day. When at home I help with feeding, training, and teaching my families 4 dogs In my home I am ok with pets sleeping in the same bed with me and I try to train them without loud commands, but rather visual and quick quite commands. I can allow as much or as little as someone wants as far as rules with a pet.
“We are so thankful to have found Mackenzie! She took care of our dog in our home while we were away and kept us updated throughout the trip with how he was doing to ease our minds while away! We feel so fortunate to have found her and will definitely be using her again!!”

About: I understand how nerve-wracking it can feel to leave your beloved pets with someone new. That’s why I’ll make it my priority to maintain their usual routine and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also send daily updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in good hands! I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a young kid! I have always loved animals and was always eager to take care of neighbors pets. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own which I adore. I currently live at home with my 2 dogs as my sister is taking care of the cats. I am a new graduate physician assistant currently applying to jobs and have time off at the moment! Have tons of availability to take care of your lovely pets:) Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any special needs. I keep a clean, secure environment and always supervise pets appropriately.
About: Hi! I’m a college student at Penn state university with 4–5 years of experience caring for pets. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, bathe, walk, and love their animals like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of pets. Thank you for considering me to care for your amazing companion! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my days around my availability and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention, care, and playtime they need. Whether it's feeding, grooming, or just keeping a cat company, I treat it like a priority not a side task. I also stay flexible so I can adjust to each pet’s unique routine and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize creating a calm and familiar environment by following the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I pay close attention to body language and other cues to understand how the pet is feeling, and I give them the space or affection they need based on their comfort level. I know that trust takes time, especially with animals, and I’m always patient, gentle, and respectful of their boundaries. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, seen, and cared for while their family is away.
About: I feel very comfortable around animals. I will Also give cuddles. Giving them a moment of joy gives me happiness. I Love the tag wagging I do not have a full time job and I thought this would be a wonderful experience until I figure out what’s next. Life is good. I have 2 indoor Siamese cats that are actual sisters. Before that we had two dogs. They lived until Their teen years. It was devastating when we lost them.

“Leoni was a great sitter for our Goldendoodle! We could see her love for animals as soon as she walked in and made friends with our little guy in no time. She was on time and had good communication through the day. She even sent pictures with her updates! Would highly recommend her!!!”

“Irene was awesome. We had an initial meeting to review all details, and she sent updates and pictures of our furbabies. We will be reaching out to Irene again and highly recommend her services.”


About: The go-to pet sitter of my friends and family since 2016 Experience caring for both dogs and cats Trained in dog walking safety best practices with Centre County PAWS I'm able to decide my own work schedule, so I'm effectively available for pet care 24/7. I look forward to helping out whenever best suits you and your pet! To ensure your pets feel safe and cared for, I will work with you to keep their routines and environment as familiar as possible. For those interested in boarding, my apartment complex is in a quiet neighborhood with a dog park and lots of beautiful, safe places to dog walk. I keep a dog- and cat-safe home as well.
About: I’ve always had family animals that I’ve adored and that got my foot into working in rescue! I’ve work with extra small to extra large dogs, a lot of cats and some other species. I feel very comfortable with behavioral differences in different animals. I’ve worked along side very talented vets and techs that have taught me a lot about medical care, as well. I work part time at home with a dog and two cats. I take physical and mental enrichment very seriously for all animals. Any animal I’m caring for comes first everyday. A tired dog is a happy dog. I have friendly animals at home, a large crate if needed and a separate room set up for shy animals to warm up to the other animals. We have a large (not fenced) yard but we take many long walks a day to keep up with physical needs!
About: I have been caring for small to large-sized dogs since 2018, providing reliable pet care for roommates, neighbors, and co-workers. My experience includes walking dogs for exercise and bathroom breaks, ensuring they receive proper feeding and fresh water, and administering oral medication as needed. I am also experienced in caring for cats, including feeding and oral medication administration. I prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being while ensuring they receive the attention they need. Whether it's daily care or special instructions, I am committed to providing responsible and loving pet care. As a graduate student with a research schedule from 9 AM to 5 PM, I offer flexible pet care to accommodate your needs. I can make morning visits to check in on your pet(s) and provide extra attention after my workday. On weekends, I have significantly more availability and can dedicate most or even the entire day to ensuring your pet(s) receive the care, companionship, and attention they deserve. Whether it's walks, feeding, or playtime, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels comfortable and cared for while you're away! I can provide additional walks if they have extra energy to burn, engage in playtime to keep them active and entertained, and brush their fur to keep them feeling their best. Of course, plenty of petting and attention are always included to ensure they feel safe and loved while you're away!
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or the occasional bunny, I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need a reliable sitter. I have hands-on experience walking energetic pups, keeping older dogs comfy and calm, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I’m patient, nurturing, and take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet needs slow walks, playful fetch sessions, or just a cuddle buddy, I’m here for it all. I’m also super dependable, quick to communicate, and will always treat your pets (and your home!) with respect and care. I’m currently home from college and have tons of free time, which means your pet will get my full attention! My schedule is super flexible, whether you need morning check-ins, afternoon playtime, or evening cuddles, I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet. Since I’m not juggling classes or a packed routine right now, I can be reliable, consistent, and fully present for your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I always follow your specific instructions closely, from feeding schedules to playtime preferences, and I keep everything clean and calm for your cat’s comfort. I’m extra mindful about doors, windows, and anything that could be a hazard, especially for curious pets! I also believe communication is key to building trust, so I’ll happily send photo updates and check-ins to keep you in the loop while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I always aim to leave your home just as I found it.
“Leslie did such a wonderful job of taking care of our pets, she went above and beyond, taking them for short walks in the snow and bitter cold! She kept us updated through her stay. Will not hesitate to use her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lemont
Ruth cares about the dogs she watches which is why she does an excellent job with them. She took care of Jeter's Diapers and all the mess that comes with that . Jeter looked great where the diaper wears. This means she put rash medicine on her and did a great job with feeding her and taking her out. Very Nice Job by Ruth and we will be looking to use her again in the future. Very responsible and caring person.
Milo was the perfect pet sitter for two pet parents who were nervous about leaving our dog with someone for the first time. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he had the compassion, patience, and attentiveness our sometimes-needy girl needs. He went above and beyond with the little details, including regular updates and photos, which helped us feel completely at ease, even hundreds of miles away from our beloved girl. When we came home, Mooshi was happily tired from all the playing and looked completely comfortable and relaxed. We would 100% recommend Milo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive pet sitter. He gave us complete peace of mind and took wonderful care of our girl. We will absolutely be reaching out to him again the next time we need someone to watch Mooshi. Thank you, Milo!

Genevieve took such great care with our cats! She's a warm and caring presence, and our two cats took to her right away. She had no problem following our specific care instructions, took great care of our house, and was proactive and conscientious about everything. She's super communicative and kept us updated the whole time we were away. Don't hesitate to book with her!

Jana was a lifesaver once again - she is so willing to work with you to assist during the times when life gets chaotic! She does a wonderful job giving oral meds to one of our kitties and providing them both with love and attention. I highly recommend booking Jana for your cat sitting needs!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lemont is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $86 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 October 2026, there are 154 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lemont. 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 Lemont 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 Lemont 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 Lemont 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.
