“If I could give Casandra 100 stars I would! She took excellent care of my dogs while I was away for the weekend! She provided so many videos and pictures to give me peace of mind while I was gone and I knew they felt loved by her! She truly treated them like they were her own!! I will definitely be reaching out to her for future care as well as recommending her services to everyone I know!”
“Kim did an exemplary job taking care of multiple animals. One of which is an aggressive dog. By the end of our vacation, he was comfortable with and happy to see her. Kim will have my business for as long as she wants.”
“What an awesome job Nick did! We were so nervous leaving for our 10 day cruise and first time leaving our fur baby but he kept in contact when we had service and always sent pics. House looked awesome as well! We will definitely use him again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve been pet and babysitting for 6 years, and have had my own pets basically my entire life. I’m a student at the University of North Texas and I love being active and caring for animals, and I would love to care for yours! I can’t wait to meet and work with you and your babies! As a college student, I have a lot of free time between classes and on the weekends, and I am always looking for work. I’ve been doing Rover for a several months now, and I can’t wait to continue now that I’m back at school!! I have a car and am very active, so I am perfectly happy taking your dogs on walks or running around with them outside. I am very good at following even the most specific care schedules!!
“Madi was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time ever using a pet-sitting service, and she made the entire experience easy and stress-free. She was communicative, respectful of our home, and clearly cared for our pups like they were her own. We really appreciated the updates and how comfortable she made us feel while we were away over MLK weekend. She is incredibly sweet, responsible, and trustworthy. We would happily use her again in the future and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for great care for their pets and home!”
“Fantastic...our Wile E. Girl needs insulin shots twice a day and on schedule, Hannah delivered. The dogs loved her and she took really great care of the dogs and kept the house from freezing pipes over the long snow/ice storm. Lots of pics and communication. We were able to relax a bit on vacation.”
“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.”
“We couldn't have been happier with Stephanie as our dog and house sitter! She took amazing care of our dog, Brooks, while we were away. We loved how she stayed in constant contact, providing regular updates and sending lots of adorable photos. It really put our minds at ease knowing that Brooks was in such great hands. We highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Our two dogs and two cats absolutely loved having her stay during our recent trip out of town. She was very communicative and showed them all lots of love. Will definitely use again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tanja always does a great job watching our fur babies and we really appreciate the time that she spends with them. And she is great about sending updates, pictures, and communicating. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Jaynie has been an amazing sitter for us. She sends us pics & updates intermittently while we're away from our pup.. she is so complimentary of our Hank, even though we know he can be a handful sometimes! We love Jaynie & will continue to use her for future sitting needs as her schedule can accommodate!!”
“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.”
“I really appreciate Emma taking care of our two dogs while we were traveling for business. The dogs were well taken care of. It was nice to receive a few updates and pictures while we were away.”
“My fur babies absolutely loved her! It’s such a relief to find someone they bonded with so quickly. She kept me updated and I came home to very happy pets. Highly recommend!”
“Francesca did great. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated promptly with us when we checked in and we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again when needed.”
“We will definitely be requesting Maria to care for our fur babies and home again! This was our first experience using Rover. After a very last minute cancellation by another sitter (not Rover), we were scrambling to find a professional and reliable sitter over the holidays. Maria to the rescue! She was very thorough, asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what our kitties needed, and sent lots of photos & updates everyday. One of our cats requires daily medication, and Maria was contentious in making sure it was done every day. We definitely recommend Maria’s services.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lincoln Park is $50
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 4,284 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
