About: I've owned dogs, big and small, since I was 8 years old and can't imagine a life without a furry friend by my side. While my 4 year old mini bernedoodle, Winnie, currently receives all my love and care, I'm itching to share that same level of attention with other pups far and wide! (NOTE: Winnie does not accompany me on house sitting bookings unless explicitly requested by the owner, as she prefers to hang home with her other pet-parent) I am extremely detail oriented, responsible, and have a flexible work from home schedule so I'm happy to drop by/sit just about anytime. I've handled dogs of all temperaments and am able to tailor my care to make them feel most at ease. I am personally a very active person and have no problem providing ample exercise for the dogs I look after, but I am equally as excited to lounge around with those who prefer belly rubs over running :) Pet parents will be sure to receive a minimum of 2x daily updates as well as plenty of sweet photos of their fur-baby when in my care. I work from home and have flexible hours, therefore I can adjust my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. I love going for long walks as exercise, so being able to bring along a furry friend is always a bonus :) I am an extremely vigilant caretaker and treat every pup I care for like they are my own. Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable is my number one priority.
“Mark did an excellent job of taking care of Luna and my home and left very detailed updates regarding his drop in visits which gave me peace of mind while I was away!!”
“Allie did an outstanding job taking care of our Cali. Cali is a tough little girl and gets a bit of "separation anxiety". Allie handled it well and did a great job of making Cali feel comforatble and keeping us informed along the way. Would highly recommend her!”
“Ellen was amazing for our last minute request for Kobe. Kobe has a lot of personality and Ellen was very patient and so accommodating for our late night and early morning drop-in visits. We would definitely recommend Ellen for your pet care needs and we will use her again. It’s so nice having someone close by to trust with our fur babies!”
“I cannot recommend Donna enough. I was extremely anxious leaving my 2 cats for a week but Donna kept my mind at ease and I didn't have to worry for a second. She took so many pictures, sent updates twice a day, and gave lots of pets and love to my boys. I will 100% book again in the future. Thank you so much for being so amazing Donna, you made my vacation so much more enjoyable and stress free 💜”
“Joe was great with our dog Nala! We had him come by for a drop-in and he kept Nala engaged, gave her plenty of playtime and cuddles, made sure she had fresh water and a snack. Looking forward to booking with him again soon!”
“I am very fortunate to have found Yang to take care of my girls for a week. Yang was extremely kind, trustworthy, communicative, caring, responsible, prepared, thoughtful and generous. In our meet and greet she brought a notebook, connected with my cats and asked great questions before leaving. She offered to bring her own brush to groom my one cat, wore shoe covers to keep my place clean and even brought her own litter bags to take away each day. The level of detail and attention she provided throughout the whole experience was something I have never experienced from a pet sitter and the genuine bond she formed with my cats made me exceedingly assured, content and happy knowing they had her presence and care while I was away. I can’t recommend Yang enough and will pick her as my sitter going forward.”
“I cannot express enough how amazing Irem and her husband were in taking care of my cat while I was away. Initially, my cat was very defensive, but they managed to make her feel safe and cared for. They handled numerous tasks, including administering her medicine, with perfect attention to detail. I received countless photos and videos from them, which reassured me that she was in the best hands. Their dedication and compassion were truly wonderful, and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again so much for the gift. Mamajay loves it!!”
“Erica is a devoted dog lover and sitter. From the very beginning (soon after my initial request) and all throughout her visits, she kept in regular contact and always communicated clearly and kindly. Our dog Ranger never had it so good. She kept us updated with photos of his activities and the love and care she provided. We'll definitely have her back. She has our highest recommendation!”
“Patty did a wonderful job taking care of my buddy, Yogi, while I was away. She went out of her way to check in on my guy, and for that, I’m very appreciative. I wouldn’t hesitate to endorse her, as I know I’ll certainly use her again in the future.”
“Brian went above and beyond to take care of our senior pup while we were away. He kept in contact with Luna's anxious mommy (me) all weekend with updates and double checks. Because Luna needs some extra help, Brian made sure that she was able to take care of all things - Luna was a happy girl when we got home, no doubt due to being well taken care of!”
“Ashley is great with my pets. They really like her. She is patient and sweet with them. I truly appreciate her communication throughout the visits to let me know they are ok and if it's still a good time to drop in. I am look forward to our next booking coming up in July. I know I can trust her with my pets while we are away.”
“Isaac was great and communicated well! We had a last minute outing to see some family and didn’t want to leave Jolie for 8 hours. Isaac kept her great company and sent lots of pictures so we knew she was happy while we were out!”

I could not have asked for a better pet sitter than Jenni! She took care of our cats while we were away for the weekend, and she went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly attentive to their routines and made sure to send updates alongside adorable photos of each cat during every visit, which gave us complete peace of mind. Their feeding area was left spotless, and as a wonderful bonus, she even brought in our packages from outside so they weren't left sitting out there. Our cats were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip!
Ellen was amazing for our last minute request for Kobe. Kobe has a lot of personality and Ellen was very patient and so accommodating for our late night and early morning drop-in visits. We would definitely recommend Ellen for your pet care needs and we will use her again. It’s so nice having someone close by to trust with our fur babies!
Stephanie was absolutely amazing. She took the best care of our three dogs while we were away since she is a professional in the industry it gave us even more peace of mind leaving our babies with her. She was truly fantastic and we will be using her services again! Thank you!!!!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 26,583 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lincoln Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lincoln Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Park. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
