“Brianna was excellent. Best experience with an overnight sitter that we’ve had. She communicated with us frequently, sent lots of photos of our dog, and was respectful of our home while she was in it. We didn’t feel anxious or worried about being away from our senior dog because Brianna's care was top notch and put us at ease. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Natalie did a great job taking care of our Nora in our home! Our normal dog sitter/ house sitter was busy so we had to try someone new and we made a great choice. I’m always hesitant letting new people into our home but Natalie left our home in the same condition before we left. She went above and beyond taking the garbage out, taking sheets off the bed and starting the dishwasher. She was very communicative of Nora’s needs and how she was doing while we were gone. Natalie communicated her schedule changes as it related to when Nora would be home alone. We would recommend Natalie to other rover users and will use her again!”
“Great Sitter🙏 We had a great experience with our dog sitter! She stayed overnight and was incredibly responsive, proactive, and dependable. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent us enough updates to know our dogs were doing well without us ever having to worry. It honestly made being away a lot easier knowing they were in good hands. She took the time to make sure everything was taken care of and went above and beyond what we expected. We really appreciated how reliable and communicative she was and would absolutely have her watch our dogs again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Adriana is amazing with our fur babies. She communicates often, sends pictures and loves them like they were her own. We always feel better leaving knowing they are safe with her.”
“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.”
“Kathleen is very kind and kept me updated while I was gone. When I got back Junebug looked like she had an amazing stay-cation with Kathleen. My house was in better condition than I left it as well. A++++”
“Just as last time, Shannon was a fantastic sitter. She even walked the pups when it was cold and wet, which I would not have done! She sent pictures daily of all the critters and snuggled with them during the storm that hit while we were gone. All in all, I was very pleased with the service and would schedule her again.”
“Casandra was a total blessing. Our fur baby took a little to warm up like any GSD would but by the end she was hanging out and happy around Casandra. She went above and beyond when a bad storm came through and cared for our fur baby, and also when she ripped up her bed and took care of that too when she didn’t have to. We will definitely ask her to babysit for us again!”
“Hannah is the best! My dog unexpectedly got a bad hot spot while we were out of town, and Hannah went above and beyond to take excellent care of him. Very communicative and attentive. 10/10 :)”
“Kayleigh was awesome with Midnight/Duke! She was very accommodating to their schedule and routine so they can be happy while me and my husband were traveling. We had a cancelled flight on the way back and Kayleigh was able to accommodate quickly as well! Highly recommended and we look forward to the next booking! The dogs love her!”
“We were very happy with Stephanie for staying with our dog Lily. This was the first time having a pet sitter and happy that Stephanie was able to calm our anxiousness of leaving her.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! I’m so thankful we found her. Oliver found his new best friend that gave him lots of love & hugs, played with him, and took such good care of him. She kept me constantly updated that made me felt at ease while I was away from my baby.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lincoln Park is $50

Brianna is absolutely wonderful! She is so gentle, patient, and attentive with my fur babies, and I can tell she genuinely cares about making sure they’re happy and comfortable while I’m away. She’s also incredibly communicative and sends regular pictures and updates, which gives me so much peace of mind and really helps ease my stress when I have to leave them. Knowing they’re being loved on and well cared for makes traveling so much easier. I’m so grateful to have found her and would absolutely recommend Brianna to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their babies! 💛🐾
We had a wonderful experience with Ashlee! She was incredibly responsive, reliable, and attentive throughout her stay. She took great care of both our dog and cat and made sure all of their needs were met. She also took great care of our home and kept us updated with regular pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy pets and a well cared for house. We would absolutely recommend her and would love to have her sit for us again!

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!

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 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 4,216 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.

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.
