Top rated Lincolnwood house sitters
“Andrea was amazing with our dog Maya! She was so flexible with our schedule even as it got closer to the dates she was sitting. She communicated well and often before and during so that we felt comfortable. Highly recommend her!”
“Zoe is AMAZING! She took such good care of my dog Maple while I was out of town, and I got frequent updates and pics. In every picture Maple looked so happy! I think Maple might want me to go out of town more often if it means getting to spend more time with Zoe. I can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind for knowing my baby was in good hands and having a great time with her. If I could give her more than 5/5 stars, I would!”
“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
“Jacob did a fantastic job caring for Pappy. He communicated frequently and sent pictures often! Upon my arrival home Pappy is safe, comfortable, and not nervous. Jacob took extra steps like washing linens before he left and meeting up with us twice before our trip so we felt comfortable with him. I will definitely be using him again!”
“Lauren is an awesome pet sitter. Awesome doesn’t even begin to describe them. Lauren came in short notice while we were out of town during an emergency. They were able to not only take care of our puppy but our very socially picky cat. Salem really took onto Lauren which rarely happens with him. Lauren’s communication was great and photos were sent daily. I would trust Lauren to pet sit anytime and honestly to any of my friends.”
“Adam is the best house guest and pet buddy. I know he is loved and adored because he gets the same pile on treatment we do as evidenced by the photos he has sent. He leaves the home immaculate and is very timely, caring, and communicative.”
“Andrew did a great job with updating us on how our pets were doing. Kratos seemed to enjoy his company. Overall very satisfied with his care and Andrew went above and beyond what we asked of him.”
“Hanna is fantastic! She took such good care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. She is very communicative and sent us photos and messages with updates every day. We've already booked a second dog/house sit with her for a few weeks out!”
“Jillian was fantastic! She helped me when I was in a serious bind. She’s responsive and respectful of my home. Mostly importantly she is kind, patient, and attentive to my dog who has a big personality. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jessica has watched my dog now on and off for the past year and takes such great care of her! My dog is 11 years old with a heat condition and needs her medicine 2x a day. Jessica is incredibly diligent with her! Whenever I am out of town, Jessica is the first person I call.”
“Ramona can be nervous around new people but she took to Sofia right away, so we knew that she’d be great—and she was! Sofia is prompt and responsive, a proactive communicator, and easy to work with. Highly recommended. Will definitely book again.”
“Ismy stayed at our home with our dog for two weeks. She was amazing in every way! Wesley (our dog) was walked several times a day and enjoyed lots of snuggles and playtimes. Ismy communicated with us daily about how Wesley was doing and she sent lots of pictures too! We will definitely reach out to Ismy again when we need a dog walker or a sitter. I highly recommend her!!”
“Jenna was an amazing sitter and very flexible with our confusing schedules. She watched our two pups for 6 days and they were happy as pie when we got home. She sent us cute pictures during our stay to ease my mind! When our flight was canceled and we had to stay away another day she was able to accommodate us which was a heaven sent. The dogs were taking medicine for a cold when we left and she gave it to them no problem. We would definitely ask her to stay with them next time we are away!”
“Sonia did a terrific job house sitting with our dog, Abby. Although a bit wary at first, Abby quickly warmed up to her new “friend.” Sonia did a meet and greet with us beforehand so that she could learn more about the dog she would be caring for, including eating habits, behavior, etc.; after that, we felt perfectly comfortable leaving Abby (and our home) in Sonia’s capable hands. Sonia gave us regular progress reports during the 4+ days we were away, and when we returned, Abby seemed content, and the house looked just like we’d left it. We’d definitely recommend Sonia.”
“Once again Serena and Adam took the best care of our two girls all week while we were visiting family out of state. We never worry about the girls because we know they are in the best hands ever. Serena was nice enough to run out and grab them more kibble when our recurring order was not processing on the day we thought that it would. The house was left so clean and the girls were very happy.”
“Great last-minute care! We had a last-minute need for a sitter when our other got sick. Emily was very flexible and helped us out for a couple of days. The dogs liked her immediately so we knew they were in good hands. She was great about giving them their medication and a fairly generous walking schedule. Thank you, Emily, for the great job with our beloved little fellas!”
“Scott was able to connect with our puppers Chloe right away. Chloe can be a little timid with new people and she warmed up to him right away. Scott followed her feeding and potty schedules as instructed, he walked her regularly and kept the house clean, he sent regular updates with pictures and videos. He played and gave her lots of attention and love. He is very transparent with everything and would highly recommend him. 10/10 and will definitely ask him to take care of Chloe again if he'll have us.”

Over 16 pet parents in Lincolnwood have booked house sitting
Lincolnwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lauren took great care of our puppy Scooter (7 mos.) They played inside and outside and she made sure he got his needed potty breaks. We felt very good about Lauren’s care of Scooter and highly recommend her to others who need a pet sitter especially for a puppy who needs extra attention.
Emily has done a really good job taking care of our pittie, who has some specific needs. She follows instructions well, keeps us updated, and makes sure my pup is comfortable. We recently had a family emergency and Emily was able to jump in last minute and take an overnight sitting even while our dog was having some stomach issues. We feel lucky to have found her.
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Loralys! She went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Not only did she provide excellent care, but her communication was outstanding — I always felt updated and reassured with her texts, photos and videos. She clearly treats animals with genuine love and respect, and my pups absolutely adored her. We truly appreciate her dedication and attention to detail, and we look forward to having her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and professional!
Jo went well above and beyond while house sitting with our pup. Our senior dog had become a bit anxious with summer thunderstorms (and was probably sad to be separated from his little brother for our trip), but Jo picked up some extra supplies from her home. She distracted him with enrichment games, like a snuffle mat and licking pad. And of course gave him lots of good love along the way. Like many other reviews noted, she took good care of our home leaving it cleaner than she found it.
Serena was absolutely wonderful caretaker for my beagle hound. He gets very upset when we go out of town but she reassured us with consistent communication and pictures and when we returned he was very at ease and happy. On top of awesome communication Serena left our house spotless and was super helpful with flexibility when our flight was delayed. Super professional and clearly compassionate sitter who we know cared for our pup with the utmost dedication! Would 100% book again.
Rodcely was AMAZING!!!! She took such great care of a 1-year-old pittie, Olivia. Rodcely sent us daily pictures and updates, and I could tell from the photos that Olivia was receiving the best care. Additionally, she kept our apartment super clean, which was nice to come home to. I highly recommend booking with Rodcely for your next trip!
Jennifer was an incredible house sitter. She took wonderful care of both of our dogs and ensured that we were kept up to date with their daily schedules and activities while we were away. She kept them both so busy the day we got back was pure silence in the house all day long.
Alex was great! She was very accommodating on a fairly short notice. She came and met our dog and home ahead of time to get the hang of our place and routine. There was one need for problem solving while away, but she worked with me from afar to work on the best care and plan for my pup. My neighbors talked to her and thought she was great and got along great with our local neighbors and the neighborhood pets on walks with our dog (she is kind of a local celebrity, our dog but Alex too). She gave me daily updates with photos, but nothing overwhelming that I felt distracted on my vacation. Very grateful and looking to book her again.
Audrey is awesome and takes excellent care of our kitties and dog. She just completed a second housesit for us and we were thrilled to return to happy pets and she even washed the sheets from the guest bed! Her communication is excellent and she provided daily pictures. Thanks, Audrey!
After moving our very needy German Shepherd from Australia to Chicago and having no local support to care for him, the notion of a 2 week trip back home was impossible. The stress at the idea of leaving our boy with a stranger was enormous, especially since we had never done anything like that before. We left our boy, and our home, in Adams care for 15 days. Upon our return, we found a beautiful clean home and a very happy doggo, who seemed to love his new friend more than us! Adam sent regular photos and text updates as to how things were going which helped greatly relieving our worry while abroad. We are thrilled to have found him, and will very happily use him again soon so we can finally take a holiday and know we're leaving our pup in great hands. Thankyou again Adam!
