“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!!”
“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.”
“Maggie was attentive and sweet. She really cared about our dogs and was very respectful and tidy about the house. She followed our feeding and medication instructions and sent us updates throughout the day.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Casandra did an amazing job of caring for our babies. All five of them were so excited and happy to see us so we know they were very well taken care of. She also did an amazing job of keeping up with the poop and fluff situation in the house. Would highly recommend.”
“Dasia was great with my two dogs. She stayed and watched them for a few days while I was away on a trip. She gave frequent updates, and the dogs were happy and healthy. Definitely recommend, and will be booking again for my next trip.”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“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!”
“Emma is very professional, very friendly, and my pets really like her (especially Winifred). She did a great job with them, gave good updates with pictures, and was patient with our newest dog Vee. Highly recommended and will 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!”
“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.”
“Torrie was incredible! Our cat is not the easiest and Torrie was incredibly patient and awesome with her. When we came home, before calling out to her, she came running around the corner ready to greet Torrie. We’ll definitely request her again!”
“Kayleigh did such a great job with Zoey! Zoey was happy and playful and I got lots of great updates while I was away. Kayleigh also took great care of my home, leaving it neat and clean, helping me out by taking out the trash, washing her dishes, and placing her towels in the washer before I came home. I will definitely use her 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 :)”
About: I am an experienced nanny/pet sitter, so I am well versed at tailoring care to an individual pet or family’s needs and expectations. As a pet parent to a rescue dog with special needs, I understand the importance of having a reliable caregiver you can trust. I take time to build rapport with animals in my care, follow instructions meticulously, and maintain consistent communication. I grew up with cats, fostered rescue dogs (until the last one never left💕), and provide pet care for friends, neighbors, and nanny clients regularly. I do have *some* experience with caring for chickens, ducks, goats, and horses. I have previous experience working for a dog rescue and have a special place in my heart for rescues, especially those needing extra care and consideration due to past traumas and challenges. I am comfortable accommodating any special needs, behavior concerns, senior animals, and medication administration. I’m Pre-K teacher visiting family in the area for the summer, so I have a completely open schedule with plenty of time and energy to dedicate to your pet! I am always courteous and respectful of your home and strive to meet your needs and expectations with care and diligence. I am meticulous about following instructions and careful to leave things exactly the way you left them.
“Victoria was great! This was our first time booking her through the Rover app and we are very glad that we did! She took great care of our babies while we were away, provided daily updates/pictures and made us feel very comfortable while we were on our trip. She kept the house in great condition and even washed her linens (without being asked) before she left. We will definitely rebook with her in the future and recommend her services. Thanks again, Victoria!”

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.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Park. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
