“Sarah is very calm & confident with our dogs, which was especially wonderful for our one dog who is very shy. She was very responsive to our requests, and gave us daily updates while we were out of town, complete with pics. Our dogs were very happy to see us when we returned, but relatively calm. This is a huge improvement over when we have boarded them at a kennel for multiple days--they'd be frantic when we picked them up. We did a meet & greet before booking the 7-day house-sitting, and then Sarah did a couple of midday walks with our dogs before we went out of town. We were nervous as this was the first time we had used a house sitter from a service. It worked out great all around, and we'll definitely use Sarah P. again!”
“Alexandria was a stand-out from the first interaction. I knew she was paying close attention to instructionsand concerns, because she would repeat back to me her understanding of why it was important to mention. She also offered assurances on points that I might not have thought of. I have two dogs, and I was worried about her getting pulled down stairs or losing control, because they are strong. I was grateful that she offered a solution to that right away, suggesting she be accompanied by her friend. Without hesitation, she supplied the friend's ID. Terrifically helpful was receiving a text message from her the day of our big night out while we were busy with other things, so it was a good reminder and a timely one that she was planning to be punctual and would let us know when she was 15 minutes out. It was additionally helpful that she was so flexible with changing the start and end time. We offered her the option of leaving when we were delayed in returning, but she insisted it was no problem to stick around, and she and her friend gave a thorough report of snacks as directed and digestive outcomes on walks. We're still enjoying the pictures and videos of our dogs' time together with Alexandria. Hope we have opportunity to book again.”
“Amanda did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs. She was very communicative and gave us plenty of updates and pictures on how they were doing. One of the pups can be rather difficult and needs a little coaxing to eat and go outside. Amanda did a great job with him and gave him the additional love and attention needed.”
“Maggie was sweet and attentive with our pup! She took the time to come in for a meet and greet super last minute which we truly appreciated. She also made sure to ask all the questions about his care which made us feel more at peace about leaving our puppy with her. She played with him and fed him on schedule. We will be definitely rebooking for future visits!”
“Glen took the time to get to know each dog and let each dog get to know him before agreeing to take us on as clients. We returned home to find a peaceful, clean home and, more importantly, very happy pups.”
About: I've grown up with pets and have since always come home to one. I started pet sitting in high school and continued to sit for the same and new families for years. I love all dogs and got my cat about two years ago. With my years of experience, I have cared for puppies up to senior dogs, cats, and some special needs animals. I love all animals and would be thrilled to care for yours! I am currently a part-time student in college and have a lot of time. I do have some schoolwork, but it's very light and I pretty much have an open week. I also have weekends free, so I am very flexible and can work whenever. Your pet's wellbeing, safety, and comfort is my top priority. I am an avid rule-follower and love thorough instructions to be able to give your pet the best care they need and deserve. I have my own cat and have trusted fellow Rover sitters and would love to be able to do the same. I believe in leaving a place the same or better than it was found, and would do the same when visiting your home.
“I can't recommend Jed highly enough! He truly saved the day by accepting my booking at the very last minute. He was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, Mazi adored him. I will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Caitlin handled my three needy kitties with ease, kindness, and professionalism. One kitty needed subcutaneous fluids as well as a twice daily pill and Caitlin was able to administer all without issue. Thank you Caitlin! We will gladly use you again!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet caregiver, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I tailor walks, playtime, and care to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet loves adventures, belly rubs, or a quiet companion, I provide dependable, attentive care that helps them feel safe and happy while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet a fun, loving experience filled with plenty of attention and affection. *** Available after 3:30 pm during the week/open on weekends and holidays *** As a high school teacher, I have a reliable schedule and enjoy spending my free time caring for animals. During the school year, I am available after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. In the summer, I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight care. This flexibility allows me to provide pets with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home while you're away. With years of experience caring for animals, you can trust that your furry family member will receive attentive care, plenty of affection, and close supervision.
“Maria did a wonderful job taking care of Hazel and my two cats. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my pets. Thank you!!”
“Ashley did a great job watching our puppy in our home for a few hours. He was just neutered and she made sure to follow special care instructions. She sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day!”
About: I will love your pets the same way you do! I have years of experience of caring for dogs over multiple weeks. I also watched a friend's husky for over a year while she was out of the country. I work full time during the week but I will be available to provide overnight care Friday nights- Sunday evenings. For special circumstances outside of this, please don't hesitate to message me. You can also call me Rachel - my middle name that everyone knows me by! I don't currently offer pet sitting in my home, but am more than willing to adjust to your preferences in your home. Feel free to send me a message!

Grace did a great job taking care of my pup. She stayed at the house and gave me frequent updates and pictures of when she was let out, fed and had playtime. My very anxious pup got comfortable quickly with grace and even snuggled with her on the couch. It was very comforting knowing she was being well taken care of while we were gone.

Fantastic sitter! Our cat took to Sandra immediately, which says a lot. She handled a challenging assignment that included administering multiple medications twice a day with great care and confidence. Communication was excellent throughout, she was always reliable and on time, and she has a genuinely wonderful personality. We would happily book Sandra again and highly recommend her!
Leila watched our dog Weston over the holiday weekend and he had the best time!! She was very quick to answer our booking request and made everything so so easy! Immediately felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her. Will absolutely be using her again in the future and I would highly recommend booking her.
Leeann was wonderful with Mia and Pio! She came on time and cared for them as if they were her own. She sent photos through the day and communicated as requested. Both Mila and Pio were in great spirits when I came home. They took several walks and played puzzles. I’d highly recommend Lee to watch your pets!
Liz is great with Dottie. She communicates well through the day, brought in my amazon package, kept the house how she left it, and most importantly cared for Dottie. I got pictures of them lounging on the couch while Dottie got belly rubs, and she also took her for a walk. I would recommend Liz!
Hayley was nothing short of fantastic with our Sophie. Hayley treated her the same way we treat her -and with love & concern. Even our next door neighbors thought Hayley was superb. (When your neighbors like your sitter, you've got a true champion. Perhaps the best way to describe how our Sophie thought about Hayley is, when we got home, Sophie seemed to say, "Hi, guys. Is Hayley coming back?" You just can't complain about someone that gets that type of response from your pet.

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 Lisle 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 Lisle 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lisle 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 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.
