“Magee was EXTRAORDINARY. Having her day sit our fur babies was the most comforting choice I could have ever made. Our pets absolutely adored her and felt safe with her around ❤️. Her communication skills were top notch which gave me an additional layer comfort while away. Please consider booking Magee for any future pet sitting needs! Can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Absolutely loved having June watch our dog she took such good care of Molly and went above and beyond!! She’s so kind and loving and I could tell really loves animals! She stayed at our place with Molly and left the house cleaner than we even left it! Absolutely would recommend and couldn’t love her more!!”
“Brianna was amazing with my two pups. One can be a grumpy old man but he was such a happy pup with her. She kept me updated and sent pics throughout the night. She was so polite and respectful of my home. I would definitely rebook the next time I need help with the boys!!”
“Madison was fantastic! We have two older pups and one of them is wary of new people. However, our pup warmed up to her very quickly! Both dogs loved her and I’m sure Madison got a ton of snuggles and licks, haha. Madison also left our house in great order, bringing in the mail and making sure everything was tidy. She also helped out by filling our pool, which was very kind! We will DEFINITELY hire her again. Very pleased!”
“Taytum did a great job watching our dog! She was very attentive and sent great picture updates that gave us peace of mind. We reached out last minute and she was super accommodating. We are definitely booking with her again!”
“Kayleigh was absolutely amazing to work with! She was timely, attentive & communicative. We were so at ease with her staying at our home with our pups while we were out of town. She shared daily photos and updates & was always quick to respond to any messages. She was so respectful of our home and took care of sheets, dishes and more before leaving! You could also tell the dogs were very comfortable and cuddly with her which speaks volumes. I will definitely be using Kayleigh again! We can’t thank her enough.”
“Shannon did great with my 2 dogs and was extremely accommodating. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates so I never had to wonder how they were doing. I will definitely use her again.”
“Ms Thea is an amazing pet sitter. Our fur baby really enjoys her time with her. We know our fur baby is in great hands. The best feeling is when we return home and our baby is so happy, gives us the greatest feeling a person can feel. The five stars speak for themselves.”
“Cassandra was very reliable. She sent me pictures of Latke and a brief update of his mood and activities while I was overseas. It was very comforting that I never had to worry about him while I was so far away. I would highly recommend Cassandra to watch your pet. She has lots of experience with animals of all kinds. Thank you!😊”
“Kathleen is a gem!! She stayed at our home for 10 nights with our 2 dogs. She sent pictures each morning and asked questions when she had any. Our home was in tip top shape when we returned and all instructions were followed perfectly. And most importantly our doggies were super happy and relaxed. I think they miss her ❤️ We’ll happily use her again!”
“Stephanie watched both my dogs over a holiday. She has house/dog sat for me before. One of my dogs has a seizure disorder so I’m picky about who watches them. Both dogs loved Stephanie and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kim and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. She sent us so many photos and updates throughout our trip, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Stella is slow to warm up to new people, but she took to her right away, which says a lot. Even our cat Romeo, who is extremely shy, eventually came around too. It was clear all 4 of our pets were very comfortable and well cared for. We’re so grateful for how attentive and thoughtful she was, and we would love to book with her again in the future!!! Thanks again Kim!”
“We really appreciated that Emma was available with very short notice to stay with Baxter for a week over New Years. Emma provided daily updates with pictures, which we loved. We felt assured that Baxter was in good hands. Would definitely book with Emma again!”
About: Hi! We’re a pet-loving couple who believes every dog and cat deserves a safe, happy, and fulfilling life. With years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, we’re confident, compassionate, and genuinely love what we do. One of us works from home full-time and the other is stay-at-home so your pet will always have company! Our fully fenced yard is perfect for safe outdoor fun, whether that’s soaking up the sun, wrestling with other pups, or chasing after a ball. We’re flexible, attentive, and happy to match your pet’s unique energy and routine. Caring for animals isn’t just something we do, it’s truly our passion. We’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and share our home with two playful cats, a sweet Aussie, and a lovable Corgi, so we know every animal has their own personality. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s exactly what they are to us. 🏡 Drop-In Visits With both of us available, one of us can focus fully on your pet while the other helps out with light household tasks if needed. We’re happy to bring in packages, take the trash out or in, water plants, or tidy up as requested. Your pet gets quality attention and you get peace of mind knowing everything at home is taken care of! 🐕 Dog Walking Whether your pup needs a run or a longer walk to burn off energy, we’ve got it covered. We walk at your dog’s pace and let them sniff. Walks are a mix of exercise and mental enrichment, because we know a good walk is about more than just steps. As fully remote workers, we’re able to care for your pet no matter what schedule they have or the times you need us to drop in. We provide constant updates so that you feel comfortable while you’re away from your pet. Pets under our care are never left alone, and we make sure all interactions are positive and that everyone is having a good time. We treat each pet with the same love, patience, and care we give our own.
“Torrie was absolutely exceptional in watching our fur babies, and she took good care of our house too. She made sure our girls felt so loved and just like her own. We definitely would like her to sit for us in the future.”
“Isabell did such an amazing job watching our two dogs. She was super communicative, proactive and was even nice enough to help us out with an extra morning drop in due to our evening flight being canceled, which delayed us from getting back to our pups in the evening as intended. We truly appreciate how attentive and caring she was, and will definitely book again.”
“Suly took great care of our dog and on many walks. She usually doesn’t eat when we leave but she was so comfortable and happy she was eating and feeling loved. Would highly recommend her!”
“Hannah did so amazing with my boy! She went above and beyond to make me feel at ease leaving my dog for the weekend! She sent so many pictures and updates! Could not recommend her more!”
“FANTASTIC! I can’t say enough about how pleased we were with Chris and his care of our pet! He was polite, courteous, communicative, friendly and punctual! I would recommend Chris P. to anyone in need of a “family member” to care for their pet or home with a pet! Stellar, we came home and my house looked like nobody had been there and my pup was as happy as the day we left! GREAT JOB Chris P.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln Park
Ashlee was an amazing sitter for our crew of two dogs and a cat. She was very patient with our skittish lab and very sweet to our clingy chihuahua. She was also very responsive. My husband and I get a little anxious when leaving our animals, but we didn’t worry once we met her.
I can’t say enough good things about June. I haven’t left my cat, who I consider my baby, alone in over two years. She’s become very attached to me lately so I was a bit anxious with leaving her with anyone. Before committing, I met with June and after a good meeting, my fears were completely gone. I couldn’t have found a better person to take care of my Baba. June is a very responsible and caring person. She sent photos my cat daily and I could clearly see that my cat did NOT miss me. LOL. When I returned home, my house was better than when I left. Spotless and she even changed the sheets, washed them and made the bed. An added bonus, she knew exactly when I would be home and had the garage door open so all I had to do was pull in. I couldn’t have been happier. I HIGHLY recommend her to take care of your pet. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.
Kimber was brave to sit my 5 month old high energy puppy and did a great job! She was very responsive to my texts and sent pictures everyday. The house looked great when I arrived home. I would definitely recommend Kimber and hope to use her again as my puppy grows!
Nadia did a fantastic job! Our boys were not just a scheduled stop. She spent generous amounts of quality time with them ensuring they got the love they deserve. We received regular updates and photos, and enjoyed the peace of mind that someone so caring stood up to care for our dogs. Thank You Sooo much Nadia!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lincoln Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lincoln Park on Rover is $44.4 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 4,337 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
