“CJ was awesome. He stayed at our house for 5 days taking care of our 5 month old puppy. Our puppy is still learning appropriate boundaries and CJ not only took excellent care of her, but helped continue her training while we were gone. His daily updates and photos showed how much fun she was having and how well cared for she was. We received detailed updates on her eating, exercise, and even funny things she did. I know our puppy is now looking forward to future visits by CJ! And as a final plus, CJ did the laundry, dishes, and took out the trash - a very welcome surprise when we got home. We highly recommend him.”
“This was our second time booking Ghazaal for in home cat sitting and I definitely felt a lot more at ease leaving our cat because we knew she was in excellent hands. We got regular updates, Ghazaal is so kind and easy to interact with. All instructions were followed and our house was like she was never here, except for a very happy cat! We have already booked Ghazaal again!”
“We booked Kristine as a house-sitter and dog-watcher for our 2 dogs. She did a great job taking care of them, sending us lots of pictures, and got them out of the house for walks a couple times a day. She took good care of our house. We will definitely book with Kristine again whenever we can!”
“We were on the East Coast and off the grid for much of the week, with home renovations going on at the same time—and one of our dogs is a husky who’d happily take off into the foothills if given the chance. Vince handled everything like a total pro. He’s exactly who you want if leaving your pups stresses you out like it does me. Whatever he’s charging, it’s worth it for the peace of mind.”
“Amara was the very best sitter we have ever had - she is so very kind, polite, caring, genuine and my dog and I absolutely loved her! My dog is sweet but I have never seen her take to another like she did with Amara. I am so grateful for her help!”
“Cordigen has looked after our two dogs 5 times this month, with the most recent visit being an all day plus evening care. She has proven to be the caregiver we hoped for. She is loving to the dogs, responsible, responsive and sends us updates during and after her visits. It is such a privilege to have a caregiver we trust, so we can focus on and enjoy activities away from our pets. We have appreciated her flexibility when our schedules have been in flux, as well as covering a last minute need. We plan to continue to request her services for all our pet caregiving needs.”
“Elizabeth took wonderful care of our dog for the weekend. She kept us updated with how things were going and always friendly and responsive with any questions. We would hire her again.”
“Tiana did a great job with Moose. She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated on how Moose was doing while I was away. Moose was happy upon my return and the house was tidy.”
“I'm extremely happy to have found Vanessa to watch my dogs. She has been a consistently great communicator, accommodated some of my schedule changes, and took great care of my Klondike and Yukon. I came home to two tired dogs and couldn't be happier!”
“Kiana stayed at our home for nine days to watch our dog, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was a long time for us to be away, especially from a pup with separation anxiety and health issues that require medication multiple times a day, so we needed someone truly exceptional. Kiana was even better than that! She is incredibly detail oriented and follows every instruction with care. Our house was clean and well looked after. But what really sets Kiana apart is how deeply she cares. Knowing our dog struggles with new people and stressful transitions, she not only came for an initial meet and greet but proactively offered to visit again so he could feel completely comfortable before the long stay. Throughout her time with him, she sent photos and updates that showed just how relaxed and happy he was. He was genuinely loved and perfectly cared for, and honestly, I think he is bummed now that she is gone! We will absolutely be requesting Kiana’s help again. Highly recommend!”
“Mia was amazing! We have a very senior dog who needs some help and Mia was awesome. She sent us pictures regularly and kept in close communication the whole time. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we got home; place looked great; plants watered - I only hope she’s available when we go out of town again! Happy dog = happy life! 🐶❤️😊”
About: I’ve never known life without a pet until a few years ago, and every opportunity I can to love on and care for an animal is one I take with joy. I’ve cared for excitable dogs and managed reactive ones, so any energy your pet brings is one I will look forward to getting to know. I work from 7-4 weekdays, so I’m flexible to support with an evening walk or to take care of a lower maintenance pet on weekdays. Weekends I’m available for walks or house sitting as needed. I’m happy to foster the environment that supports your pet best! I’ve experience with highly playful pets, as well as pets who need attention. I will give your pet the most attention and care I can.
“Perfect house sitter/cat sitter. Elvira is a wonderful find. She Is communicative, understood and followed a five step feeding routine, and our kitty Loves her. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with her. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi there! I grew up surrounded by animals — dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and birds — so caring for pets has been a natural and joyful part of my entire life. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart, and I understand how important they are as true family members! I know that every dog has their own unique personality and energy level. Whether your furry friend needs a fun, energetic walk, a game of fetch, or just gentle belly rubs and cozy companionship while you’re away, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. What I offer during my visits/walks 1 Safe and attentive walks tailored to your dog’s pace 🐕 2 Refreshing food & water refills 🥣 3 Fun playtime & exercise 🎾 4 Lots of affection, treats, and belly rubs 🐾 5 Photo & video updates so you know your pup is in great hands 📱 I am responsible, punctual, and treat every dog with the same warmth and care as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your sweet pup! I currently have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time, so I'm available from morning to evening, any day of the week, to care for your pets. While staying in your home, I will give your pets full attention maintaining their usual daily routine so they feel safe and loved. I will provide fresh food and water, tamely walks, fun playtime and lots of attention. I will also keep your home clean and peaceful, sending you photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been around them for as long as I can remember, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. 🐾 Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs belonging to friends and neighbors, each with their own personalities, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pup’s usual routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, lots of cuddles, or simply giving them the space they need to feel comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel completely at ease while you’re away. ❤️ I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pup with lots of attention and companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I’m able to easily fit in regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and cuddle time between my workday. Since I’m home for most of the day, your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will have someone around to keep them company and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Your pup’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Since I have a dog of my own, my home is already dog-proofed and set up to be a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly space. I’m mindful about keeping doors secure, potentially harmful items out of reach, and supervising dogs during playtime. I also understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and boundaries, so I’ll always follow your instructions when it comes to feeding, walks, medications, crate time, and house rules. I want your pup to feel at home while giving you peace of mind that they’re safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Shannon was the perfect choice to care for our dog. Benji is a senior dog with a few quirks and she embraced them while caring for him. He became her shadow which showed me he was happy. She communicated regularly including pictures and even gave him a bath. Can't wait for another chance to use Shannon again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and truly treat every pet as an individual. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and my focus on one pet family at a time, so your pet gets my full attention in a low-stress environment 🐾❤️ I’m very mindful of routines, body language, and emotional comfort, especially for pets who are shy, sensitive, or adjusting to a new place. I enjoy long sniffing walks, gentle play, enrichment activities (like lick mats), and plenty of cuddle time — always tailored to your pet’s personality. I’m comfortable caring for adult dogs and seniors, following detailed instructions, administering basic medications as directed, and providing consistent updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication are extremely important to me. On most days I’m home and present, and on occasion I may go into the office for a few hours (typically up to 4–6 hours, a couple of times per week). Because of this, I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable being alone for short periods. I always plan ahead to ensure your pet is safe, settled, and well cared for before I step out. My goal is to make every stay feel calm, secure, and loving — like a true home away from home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and is something I plan my schedule around. I structure my day to ensure pets receive consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day 🐾❤️ I’m able to provide a calm, predictable routine with flexible timing, which works especially well for pets who need consistency or extra reassurance. I make sure each pet’s feeding, walking, and rest schedule is followed closely, and I adjust my day as needed to match their normal routine. Whether it’s daily care, short stays, or longer boarding, I prioritize being present, attentive, and responsive so your pet always feels safe and cared for. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment with a private patio and Rengstorff Park just steps away for safe daily walks and playtime. There are no other pets or children in my home, so your furry friend will have a quiet and relaxing stay with our full attention. I keep doors and patio areas secure at all times, and pets are always on a leash outdoors. I follow each pet’s specific routine for feeding, walks, and bedtime, and can crate your dog if preferred for comfort or safety. Our goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for as if they were our own. 🐾
“Suji did an amazing job with Condor! She provided updates and took him on nice walks. I had peace of mind while traveling even out of cell service that he’d be well taken care of. I came home to a happy dog and a house in great condition.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Loyola
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our two dogs! He took the time to get to know their personalities, routines, and our home, and went above and beyond to keep them happy and comfortable while we were away. His updates were thorough and entertaining, with beautiful photos that we genuinely looked forward to receiving. Knowing our dogs were in such thoughtful hands made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip. We came home to happy dogs and an immaculate house. We’d absolutely book him again!
Ruby did a great job with our dogs! Our dogs are reactive (lots of barking) to other dogs and to people, especially when people come to our home. She was not intimidated by their barking when I opened the door, she was calm and sweet with them and they warmed up with her after just a couple of minutes. We could tell right away that she has experience with dogs and genuinely loves them. Ruby was flexible with the times we needed her to be with our dogs before and after her full time job and she followed all our instructions. We were at ease during our vacation knowing our dogs were in good loving hands. When we got home our dogs looked happy and well taken care of. Ruby will definitely be our very first choice for future bookings!
We could not have asked for a better dog sitter! She stayed in our home for a full week and took wonderful care of our dog, who clearly formed a strong bond with her. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our dog was comfy, happy, and getting plenty of attention while we were away. Amy sent us regular updates and photos and took excellent care of our home, kept everything clean, and even watered our plants. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We are so grateful for her care and attention and will be inviting her to stay with our dog again next week! We highly recommend her!
Ava was wonderful. She was able to pick up our request right away with very short notice. She requested a meet and greet beforehand (which I greatly appreciated). She asked great questions and quickly bonded with our puppy. She sent texts and picks over the course of the weekend. I would highly recommend!
Mica took wonderful care of our German Shepherd! She sent us great photos, took him on some nice walks, and kept us updated with excellent communication. We would absolutely book with Mica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful dog sitter!
Cynthia did a great job taking care of Mabel over a 10 day trip. She was respectful of our place and left everything as it was once we got back. We got timely updates and did lots of activities with our pup who has a lot of energy. Would love to book her again in the future
Kristin was great with my large golden doodle who likes to fetch and go on walks, and also cared for our crested gecko. She communicated when she had questions, plus cleaned up the guest room (including sheets/towels!), kitchen and yard nicely, got packages in that arrived while I was away, got trash/recycle bins out for pickup, and most importantly, my dog and gecko seemed very happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Loyola is $88 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $55 and $139 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 5,436 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Loyola. 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 Loyola 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 Loyola 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 Loyola 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
