“Cherry was so great with my dog Dallas. She was happy to house sit 3 nights last minute for me and her and Dallas are new BFF’s.

It can be hard to find a great sitter, but we absolutely loved her and would 100% trust her with our boy again. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful for her. She really made us feel at ease leaving our boy. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have taken care of all types of cats and dogs and feel comfortable around animals. I enjoy pet sitting and overall animal care. I did so some schooling for assistant veterinary technician so I do know how to do animal CPR and basic aid. My goal is to make sure any pet feels loved and cared for, I am happy to answer any questions you may have and will treat your pet like my own. Im currently working full time, but during the evenings I’ll have time to give your furry friends the attention they need. I am very open to dropping in whenever needed! Weekends I am usually always available. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I make sure that I can appropriately keep and eye on your pet at all times because I know our furry friends can get into trouble sometimes.
“Isabelle was amazing, stayed in our home while we spend 12 days in Europe. She sent photos every day and communicated any concerns right away. When we got home, the house was neat as a pin.”
“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”
“Madison took excellent care of my 2 babies, Sam and Bella, for a week. She did scheduled visits for feeding, potty breaks, play time and walks. But also made quick decision for an unplanned emergency vet trip, extra drop off/pickup at the overnight MedVet for 1 pup, and an overnight stay at my house with the other pup for extra caution observation. She made sure their health was priority while I was on a cruise with limited contact. ♥️”
“Gabrielle took great care of our dog and cat while she was house sitting for us. She sent lots of updates, which we appreciated for peace of mind. When we returned home, our house was in excellent condition- probably even cleaner than how we left it! Overall, a great experience having her house sit for us while we were gone.”
“Theresa and Adrian did a great job watching Laika. They communicated expectations clearly ahead of time and sent updates throughout the stay. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well taken care of.”
About: I currently have 2 dogs that I’ve trained from puppies. I’ve pet sit for my brother for the last 5 years. A day hasn’t gone by in the last 10 years that I’m not out walking dogs. I’ve cared for senior dogs as well as puppies and love them all. I currently work 2-3 days a week with a rotating schedule but am available every morning and night as well as most weekends. My schedule is extremely flexible. I have a fenced in yard in a great neighborhood. Both my dogs are extremely friendly and always looking for another friend to play with.
“Elana did a great job taking care of my pups . 3 dogs 3 personalities and she did great with all of them . I’d highly recommend Elana to take care of your pets !”
“Brianna was a fantastic dog and house sitter for our pug, Hurley. He is an older dog who tends to be quite anxious and he took to her well. She was very tending to his needs and all of the instructions that I left for her. She updated me with pictures and let me know how he was doing during our four day trip. When I returned home, our house was kept tidy during her stay. She was very respectful of our home, of our dog, as well as kind and attentive. I felt that Hurley was very safe and well taken care of in Brianna's care! I would highly recommend her for all of your pet sitting and caring needs.”
“Amy was great, we booked her with very short notice. She got along great with my dogs and we didn't worry about them while we were gone. She shared a pic or video each day. We will definitely be user her again!!!”

Cheyenne was able to accommodate a last minute booking for me. This is my first time using Rover and she was very helpful. I had a sick kitty and she was able to come visit with her and her sister when I had to be of town. Would definitely recommend and use her services again. Thankful for all of her kindness.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lincoln Park on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,263 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lincoln Park. 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 Lincoln Park 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 Lincoln Park 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 Lincoln Park 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 with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Park. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
