“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 was amazing with our dogs. They were comfortable with her from the first time they met her and that put my mind at ease. She sent reports with pictures after each visit and even watered my plants to keep them from dying in this Texas heat. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.”
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
“Leslie and Jon were fantastic with our pups. They gave them lots of love and some play time and made sure they received all their meds. They communicated very well with us and sent lots of pictures. Rest assured they will take fantastic care of your pets.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and love caring for other animals. I’ve grown up having dogs and cats, and grew up horseback riding. My family members all have pets that I’ve taken care of. I will give your pets all the love and attention they need and then some. Being around animals fills my heart with joy and I love being able to care for someone’s family members while they are away. I will be sure they feel the love while you are gone, give them love and play with them. I’m a working mom Monday thru Friday but can do visits in the mornings and evenings and be around even more attention on the weekends. I will follow your instructions on caring for your pet in your home and treat it with the love and respect as if it were my own.
About: I have over 5 years of experience and I have found that I absolutely love working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! My hands-on experience ranges from tiny, spunky Miniature Pinschers all the way up to high-energy Belgian Malinois. I know every dog is unique, so I tailor my care to match your pup's exact energy and daily routine! Specialized Care I have specific experience with puppies, senior, and high energy pups if you need any form of specialized care! -Puppies: Practicing basic training, enforcing commands, and keeping routines consistent. -Seniors: Gentle, attentive care, mobility support, and oral medication administration. -High Energy Breeds: Structured exercise, play, and mental enrichment to keep working breeds happy (and tired haha). I’d love to chat about your pups specific routine and answer any questions you may have! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work less than 5 hours a day Monday through Wednesday, which allows me to be home with pets or check on them frequently throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I am available all days of the week for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while their owners are away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I am experienced with crate-trained dogs and can use crates when needed. I also have experience administering medications and following special care instructions. I have friendly, well-socialized dogs that enjoy playing with others, but I can easily keep pets separated if an owner prefers. I treat every pet like my own and work hard to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care.
“isabel was so kind and patient with my dogs, especially my reactive chihuahua. she’s also very trustworthy and flexible to work with. i will continue to book her as long as she’s available! thank you.”
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.
“Tyler goes above and beyond the call of duty. She has a gift in caring for animals. Tyler took our two labradors for a 45 minute walk with ease. One of our labs is only a year old and Tyler handled her beautifully. Tyler is personable and very attentive to the needs of the animals she takes care of. Thank you so much Tyler for all you did for Esther and Francis! We will recommend you to our friends and family and call you ourselves for help in the future! ?”
“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!”
About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, from puppies all the way to the stubborn old dog living with me now! I have also volunteered at animal shelters for a total of five years, where I learned a lot about how to care for various ages and breeds of dogs. Additionally, my current dog is a senior and is partially blind and deaf, so I am experienced in caring for older dogs who may have special needs. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule! I can definitely accommodate any walks or potty breaks your pup might need, and I can also be home if your pup has separation anxiety or needs a closer eye kept on them. I have a fenced yard and two children with lots of energy to keep your pup entertained! My neighborhood has plenty of walking trails, as well as a dog park. I do have a dog in my home, as well; he is a senior and very laid-back and calm. So we are also happy to hang out with lower energy dogs who might just enjoy snuggles and lots of naps.
“Wonderful walks and pets I'm sure helped Autumn deal with our departure. Adding another tip here just because you went beyond our expectations. Julianna deserves more than 5 stars!🌟”
About: I've been taking care of pets and pet sitting since I was 13. In addition to dogs and cats, I have 20+ years of equine experience. My love of animals has also lead to my career in the veterinary medicine field, which I have been involved in for almost 10 years. I currently work full-time at a veterinary surgical center, but am available Wednesday afternoons and all weekend. Depending on the day and time, I can also help out some weekday evenings at/after 6pm. I will care for and play with your fur baby as if they were my own! I have one dog at home who is very friendly, so if ever an overnight stay is needed at my house, I'm happy to welcome them in! I do have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run/play and have the availability to crate, as needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln Park
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.
