“Saramae was a delight. Our pups immediately took a liking to her with the meet-and-greet. She was such a good sitter and we will absolutely be booking her again! Such a comfort knowing someone good is at home with our little guy!”
“Sweet, responsive, and responsible. Ramen loves her. She sends lots of updates and photos to keep me informed. It’s so nice to have Izzy to lean on when I need help with sitting Ramen.”
“Salina is great! She watched our house and dogs for us, and even put up with our difficult old man dog! She had great communication the whole time we were gone and sent us pictures. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I absolutely love animals . I have a yorkie , a German short haired , and a Frenchie! I also have 3 parrots . I can't have anymore animals so i’d love babysitting them. They would be in really good hands with me. I know how hard it is to find a sitter especially when going out of town, so I’d love to care for your pets even if it’s just a date night! I can come to your house. I absolutely love meeting new pets, and my daughter loves animals as well! I work full time , but love to do this part time as well!
“Our first experience with Rover. Gabrielle S. house sitting “Harry” was wonderful, she watched our 4 1/2 year old rescue dog for the weekend, and provided excellent care. Gabrielle kept us updated, with text & pictures. Will be sure to book her again for our next time away.”
“Leah was great with all my animals! She had a houseful and took care of my fur babies like her own. Sent updates and photos to let me know how they were doing. She also came back after I told her I’d be home because we got delayed coming home. Kept the house clean! Will definitely use her services in the future!”
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.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. From pigs to dogs, I have taken care of a lot of animals. I started off pet siting for family members and friends and recently started caring through Rover. I love the community on the app and have had so much fun getting to know everyone’s pets. I am currently a full time student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I play collegiate softball which has shown me positive time management skills. I work part time as a mobility tech at an hospital and have worked multiple other jobs. Because I only work part time, my schedule is very flexible and open. I have one dog and two cats at home. My dog is full of energy so I am in charge of taking him on walks and outside on the daily. My cats are very low energy and love to sleep. I am able to care for high energy or low energy animals since I have experience with both.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️
“Thanks so much again Lissa. Our three girls looked well taken care of. They can be a lot of work, but you are a pro. Your communication is fantastic. Loved getting the videos while we were away.”

I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic grooming, and following each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and comfort levels, and I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly. I’ll give your pets plenty of attention and companionship while you’re away and can send lots of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe, happy, and loved!

About: Hello, my name is Xavier. I'm an Airforce veteran of 12 years and counting! I've taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I was a child. I've always grown up with both large and small dogs. Currently, I'm an owner of 3 cats and 2 golden retrievers. In my military career, I've gotten the chance to train and work with military working dogs oversees! Animals have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, my days are built around feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure my animals get plenty of attention and companionship. I’m used to caring for multiple pets and balancing their individual needs with my daily schedule. Currently, I work 3 days a week as an RN in the ICU. Not only is my background in healthcare, I also have a military background, so being dependable, organized, and consistent with routines comes naturally to me. Whether it’s daily walks, scheduled feedings, medications, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time together, I’m comfortable incorporating each pet’s specific routine into my day. I treat the pets in my care with the same attention and responsibility that I give my own. SAFETY - Safety is one of the number one priorities for your baby. - I always ensure the tables are cleared and nothing can be easily grabbed. - If your dog goes outside, they're always visualized and monitored. - If going for a walk, the route will always be provided. Schedule/Potty Breaks - Potty breaks will always be provided every hour or if the "ques" are given. - Feeding schedules will always be honored and asked about. Environment - Safety is always the number one priority. - They will never be taken to the dog park without the owners permission. - Comfortable and relaxing environment will always be provided. - If conducting a night stay in my home, a meet and greet will always be requested to ensure there is compatibility.
“Superb sitter that provides excellent communication and updates throughout the stay. We received many pictures throughout the day. During our first meeting we felt more than comfortable leaving our sweet girl to her care. Ashley is the best sitter we have ever used. We will be planning our vacations around Ashley’s availability as we will never use anyone else. ❤️”
About: I've grown up with dogs and pet-sat for family and friends my whole life. After recently coming home from living abroad, I realized I could combine my love for dogs with the need for a flexible work schedule and begin working for Rover. My schedule is wide open. I do not have any commitments as of now. I am able to provide as much care as any dog needs. With my own dog, I take her on walks, feed her twice a day, bathe her every week, and spend all day with her. She's pretty spoiled, haha
About: My commitment to providing the highest level of care, combined with my love for animals, ensures that your pet will receive the best possible care while you are away. I am currently going to school for my Master's in Business and taking care of my mom, so I will have plenty of time, love, and care for your fur babies! Anytime or anyplace, I am here for you and your babies! By focusing on safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that pets are not only well-cared for but also feel secure and loved, making their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾🐾
“Jennifer was great with our little guy. We got multiple updates each day as requested and our puppy was happy and healthy when we got home which is all we could ask for as neurotic dog parents:)”
About: I love all animals! I have about 3 years working at a fear free animal hospital where we only used low stress handling techniques. My love for animals has grown from having my own. I have had dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and other small animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am looking to expand my list of regulars! I am currently working part time and get to design my own schedule! I can give your fur babies all the attention they need and give them all the time needed! Thanks to my past experience in daycares, I am able to read dogs very well. Whether that’s from reading when they’re anxious, excited, or over stimulated.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln Park
She was amazing!! So considerate, kind, and loving towards our dog. We didn’t worry at all about the care she was receiving while we were away, and came home to a happy pup and a clean, tidy house! Would recommend Saramae to anyone, and hope to use her services again in the future!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Lincoln Park is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $61 per night.

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 , 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.
