“Laila was amazing! She guaranteed us a stress free trip, handling issues as they arose to ensure our babies were cared for as well as if we were there. We loved the daily pictures and updates. I will 100% request her for all our future trips! Thank you Laila!!”
“Stephanie took great care of our cat when we were gone. She sent us pictures and updates every visit that really eased our minds. I will definitely ask for her again if we go out of town.”
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 just recently moved to the area. I’m available any day of the week! once I am ready for the day, your pups/ kitties will be my first stop of the day! 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
“I love that I can depend on Leslie and Jonathan to take such wonderful care of our cats. I feel they do for them as they would do for their own. They even tidy up if they see its needed. Wonderful!”
About: I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I have a very welcoming and fun-loving personality that has never met an animal personality that didn't mesh. I have 15 years of experience with dogs and 12 years of experience with cats. I have raised several puppies and kittens and cared for elder dogs and cats as well. Caring for animals is my passion and I thank you for the time with your pet. I have a flexible work schedule, so my flexibility is a bonus when it comes to pet care! I offer dog walks, dog drop-in house visits, over night house sitting, and doggy day care. When you book with me, you have the comfort knowing that all my care and attention is on your dog since I only accept dog(s) from only one household, per day. I will follow any rules or guidelines set by the owner to ensure the best care is given to your furry loved one. I submit photos throughout my care time to keep you up to date on the great time your pet is having with me! ATTENTION: **PLEASE HAVE NAILS TRIMMED BEFORE DROP OFF** I will not accept a pet that is not potty trained or "marks" a lot inside
About: Well hello :), I am a skilled kennel technician and Dog trainer with a solid background in animal care. I worked for an establishment known for boarding and grooming fur babies, as well as earning my certificate for positive reinforcement training, providing me with the opportunity to watch them throughout the day and night. That includes playtime, meals, nap time, or just simple boarding, and if needed administering medicine to those in need. While doing those I’m also very attentive to our surroundings, constantly monitoring conditions, to maintain a clean area and keeping an eye out for an unusual behavior. I am currently a Dog trainer at Petco, and in school for Veterinary Technology. I do have a very flexible schedule and could always make something work with just a heads up in a decent amount of time. i won’t schedule a day that i am working just for the sake of the animal. I provide loving in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and companionship while owners are away.
About: As I grew up, my first pet was more than just a pet for me. He has been there throughout my childhood and losing him made me a whole different person. That is until my husband gifted me my shih tzu. He has been my dream for over 15 years and I treat him as my first born and nothing less. I made my husband buy a Tesla just so that our dog can travel with us and stay in car in comfort. What else must I say to express my love and gratitude towards a mans best friend. My daily routine is pet care itself. I wake up at 6 in the morning to take my dog out for his walk. Then I give him his breakfast after which I start my duties as a housewife. Throughout the day, I take my dog out for walk three more times depending on the climate, and since he is a shih tzu and a picky eater, I have to feed him like a baby. I brush him every day to ensure that he looks his best. In my home, for any pet that my friends, neighbors or colleagues as ne to take care of, I ensure that the pet is not hungry, not thirsty, not bored and if possible not to think of the parents. This way, the pet always feels happy to come back to me.,
“Tank is not use to strangers, but Chelsie was patient with Tank allowing him to come to her in his time, which is important for Tank especially being a senior, I plan to book again.”
About: I grew up with a Pomeranian who lived until she was 16. In college, I decided to adopt a Spook (black cat) at the age of 2 months old and has been the best decision. He is my best friend and I can’t imagine life without him! Currently I work a 8AM-5PM job so I am most available at any time on the weekends. I am also free in the evenings during the week for visits! I am open to any preferences that the owner has in order to take care of their pet/pets the way that they do. Additionally, I am open to any type of dog or cat to pet sit!
About: I feel like I've always taken care of dogs. My family had dogs growing up. I have a senior dog and a four year-old dog. I have experience taking care of both senior dogs and younger dogs. My daughter is trying to raise money for a Washington DC trip. We would love to take care of your dog. I am not available on the weekends. I am available Tuesday through Friday for dog walk's, drop in visits or boarding opportunities. We would love to take care of your baby! I have a backyard that is fenced in. We have wood floors and a doggie door. I will play with them and take them for walks.
“Valerie was a great sitter for my two cats. She was communicative throughout the entire time she was pet sitting, showed up on time, and sent great pictures and updates! I highly recommend her!”
“Samantha and Sydney did an AMAZING job taking care of our two cats! This was our first time to use someone in a new home, so we were a bit anxious about how it would go. We could not have asked for better people to care for our cats! We got tons of pictures and an extensive write up every day of our trip, putting us at ease that they were in good hands. Not only did they do the basics, but we really got the feeling that they care about our pets and looked forward to seeing them everyday. 10 stars!!”
“Since this was my first extended trip when a family member wasn't able to take care of Tully, I was a bit worried. Because of Daniel, I was able to enjoy my trip to Ireland with no worries at all! He sent me pictures & updates every day, & Tully seemed to really like him. I would book Daniel again in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking care of my guy!!!!!”
“Kristi is an absolute lifesaver! I can always count on her to shower my two fur babies with love and attention while I’m away. I have total peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands when I am away.”
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of Zeke, my Senior Jack Russell Terrior. He can be aggressive with new people but Kaitlyn connected with him. She made sure he had food and was let outside to potty. When he was alone, he made a couple of potty mistakes that she cleaned up on her visits. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and will user her again for future visits!”

Jaleeya was an absolute life saver! This is my first time leaving my kitties home without me and she made me feel so comfortable. She gave excellent care and updates at every visit. She treated my kitties like they were her own and they warmed up to her super fast and she became part of the pack! If I ever choose to leave again and need a helping hand I definitely am contacting Jaleeya!
Mikayla has been absolutely amazing to my pup and me! I was so nervous to leave my senior girl but Mikayla understands her complex needs and does exactly what is asked of her. She’s very thoughtful and spent time playing with my her and gave her plenty of pets! My other VERY people selective dog took to her immediately, and my youngest dog thinks Mikayla hung the moon! Instant besties with all three of my pups! Her check-ins and pictures give me peace of mind while I’m away! Appreciate all she does for us!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lincoln Park is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 7,188 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lincoln Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lincoln Park. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
