“Brianna was amazing! She took excellent care of both of my large breed dogs and my home while I was away for a work trip. She sent regular photo and video updates and the house tidy and well kept upon my return. My pups were receiving more play and attention than when I’m home! I highly recommend Brianna for any of your house and pet sitting needs.”
“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!”
“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 :)”
“I am just so pleased with Magee! Our Velcro Golden retriever was so happy with her! So many updates & photos! Our home was well cared for, also. We will definitely be booking Magee, again!”
“Our dogs felt so comfortable with Nikki right away! She has a calming presence and took wonderful care of our two dogs. Nikki communicated very well and was proactive. She went above and beyond my expectations! Our dogs had a great week with her :)”
“I cannot recommend Janea enough! From the moment we booked, communication was seamless and professional. She kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved her—and it’s clear she truly care for the pets she looks after as if they were their own. She followed all instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile with playtime, offered walks, and cuddles. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-loved pups! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, and incredibly communicative, Jenae is the one. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: I have been taking care of little dogs since I was 12. I have a big dog now my self and have trained him and have enjoyed it I’m currently a college student in Marietta. My best availability is on the weekends, but if needed during the weekdays we could discuss potential times I will always make sure to continue the routine given by the clients. I am very punctual with time and dislike being late. I will go on walks near the house/apartments
About: I’ve owned pets my whole life, I fostered 12 puppies a couple years ago and have always had at least 3 dogs. My dream career is to be a Veterinarian and own a non-profit animal rescue. My friends have trusted me to come by and care of their dogs when away on vacation, but this would be my first time pet-sitting for Rover! SIDE NOTE (PLEASE READ): I will not be walking any dogs in 95+ degree weather without some sort of protection for their little paws. Protection and comfort is top priority!! I wish I had more photos but I tend to focus more on the animals than to get my phone out and take photos prior to Rover so my collection is small but i’ll be adding to it!) I do have a part-time job but it’s very flexible, and I will be able to adjust to your needs and personal schedules. I can assure any potential pet owners who are interested in my care for your dog or cat that they will be prioritized. I will not be doing any pet-sitting at my own house because I do own a reactive dog and one who’s a bit older, but they have a fenced yard with water accessible 24/7, home-cooked rice and chicken twice a week (they’re spoiled) a friends ranch nearby they go to for running and walks, and a toy box with all the toys they could dream of.
“First time using Erin and would recommend her again and again and again! From the first minute of the meet and greet, my pups LOVED her and were so comfortable, which can be rare for one of my doggos. She was great with check ins and left the house so clean for my return. The pups miss her already!”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. I was a nanny and executive personal assistant for over 25 years to a family and their pets. Then started my dog care business once the child went to collage. I've had my own private dog business, professional, and private Hollywood celebrities clients. I currently just moved back to the Dallas area and looking to fill my days loving and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have a questionnaire to be filled out to know about your routine. I like to stick to what works for you and your family not to disrupt the dogs schedule.
About: Hi! My name is Libby, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I attended a technical school for Animal Science, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal care and handling. Growing up, I’ve had a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, fish, hermit crabs, bearded dragons, geckos, and degus. Having experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about providing the best care possible for every animal. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing, getting lots of attention, or simply relaxing with a little extra company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel at home. I know pets are family, and I would treat your furry (or scaly!) friend with the same love, kindness, and care I would give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to offer your pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I can easily fit in regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, walks, and potty breaks while maintaining a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family members are in loving, reliable hands, and I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Since I work from home Monday through Friday, I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routines, follow feeding and care instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I respect your home, keep things clean and secure, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands!
“Karen did an amazing job as always with watching stormy and cinder. She is very responsive and always keeps us updated with pictures and videos of our fur babies! 100/100 would recommend!”
“In a word, Ashlee is exceptional. She is gentle, kind, and trustworthy - the three most important qualities we were looking for in someone to stay in our home and take care of our fur baby. She was communicative and loved Sophie like her own pet. I can’t say enough good things about her. She left our home spotless at the end of her stay and was incredibly respectful. We can’t wait to have her watch Sophie again!”
“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter! She stayed in constant communication with me, providing updates and pictures of my dogs throughout my trip. She followed all of my instructions, including hand-feeding Fat Fat and making sure both dogs got their favorite ice cream treats. I especially appreciated how attentive she was to their individual personalities. My dogs are complete opposites, and she picked up on their funny little quirks perfectly! She also made sure my home was clean and everything was taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in good hands. Everything went perfectly, and I would absolutely recommend her!”
“Tania is the best! This is the second time she’s been our sitter and both times have been wonderful! We have two Great Danes and they’re not exactly the easiest, but she handles them so well. I would totally recommend Tania to be your sitter!”

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lincoln Park is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
