“CJ took excellent care of Eliza, despite her getting up to some naughty puppy shenanigans while we were gone. He was proactive and did exactly what we would have done to take care of our girl. He sent lots of photos and regularly updated us on how she was doing. She seemed happy and well taken care of when we arrived home. He left our house extremely clean and tidy as well. We’ve already booked him for another upcoming trip!”

“There’s no one I’d trust my shy little pup with more than Katie. She was patient, professional, and thoughtful when house sitting with our dog. She even cleaned while she was there! We wish we could keep her all to ourselves! I would recommend her to anyone with a shy dog.”

About: I love pets of all kinds, and find it very rewarding to gain their trust and make sure they are living their best life while their owner is away! I have experience with small to medium-large dogs since childhood, and had a senior cat for the last 5 years. I am good at picking up on body language queues or behavior changes, especially in more subtle and shy pets. I have lots of experience with administering medications, including with dogs suspicious of pill wrap and cats who have figured out all nicer methods besides the pill gun/liquid syringe. I occasionally travel for contract work, but keep my calendar religiously up-to-date and have plenty of daytime/evening availability! The more time in advance I get, the more likely I can plan around your pet's needs and ensure availability. I make sure to ask the important questions upfront so to minimally disturb your time away! I also have a sixth sense for when pets get into things they aren't supposed to, and if house-sitting am attuned to their (& your belongings' lol) safety!
“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.”

“We had a great experience with Rendell! He was incredibly attentive to our dogs during overnight stays and followed all of our instructions perfectly. He kept us updated throughout the stay and sent tons of photos, which we really appreciated and gave us peace of mind knowing the dogs were happy and well cared for. We came home to happy dogs and would absolutely use him again. Highly recommended!”

“Guilherme took care of our dog and cat during the Christmas and new years holiday. He sent many updates with photos, helped bring the garbage bins inside and collect mail and left our home more organized than when we left. Highly recommend and definitely hope to use his services again when we travel. Thanks Guilherme!”

“Tiana is so great! She followed all of my instructions. She’s communicates very well and consistently sends me updates as well. I’ll will be using her for walk and dog sit Zeus!”

“I chose Mia because of her smile and friendly personality, and I am not disappointed. Our pets were excited to see us when we got home, but also excited to see Mia the following morning! Our home and pets were well-cared for. Would like to get her help for future trips.”

About: Build Trust| Detail Oriented | Communication I’m a responsible and caring pet sitter who truly understands how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else. Building trusted relationships with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I communicate clearly and consistently, and I always provide frequent updates with photos, videos, and detailed notes so you can feel confident and relaxed while you’re away. I’m very detail-oriented and make sure to follow each pet’s routine, preferences, and care instructions closely. I grew up with dogs and have many years of experience helping friends care for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and energy levels.

I work remotely, so I can keep an eye on your pets even when we're not actively playing or walking!
“Jed was an ideal house sitter and dog watcher, and excellent communicator. He set us at ease when he came for the meet and greet, asked great questions about the home and dogs, and set solid expectations, which he ultimately exceeded! He kept us up to date with pics of our dogs, collected our mail, left the house spotless, did some extra cleaning for us, and of course took dogs for walks and spent lots of time with them. Everyone was thrilled, thanks Jed.”


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.
“This was Akisha’s first sitting in this area and I will strongly recommend her for house sitting your beloved pets. She kept me informed me throughout via pictures and video messages and took a great care of my dog and the house.”

About: I've cared for dogs my whole life, 12 years looking after my family's dog and watching friends' dogs during their vacations, handling everything from feeding and walks to overnight stays. I also spent a year living with a cat, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats. Animals are a genuine passion of mine, and daily walks are one of my favorite parts of the day. I have a flexible schedule and am mostly available for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and boarding. I can work around your pet's routine and adjust as needed to fit their care into my day. I live in a comfortable apartment, which makes for a calm, quiet environment without a yard's distractions. I'm attentive to leash safety on walks and make sure pets feel secure and settled indoors.

About: I had a Dachshund for 13 wonderful years before she crossed the rainbow bridge, and caring for her was a special part of my life. I have five years of dog- and house-sitting experience, including walking, feeding, and providing attentive care for pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from small to large breeds, and have some experience administering oral medications. I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work a 7:30-3pm job, and have availability to walk dogs in the afternoon. I can also dog/house- sit as long as parents are okay with me leaving during the day to work my regular hours. I have lots of availability during school breaks (winter, summer breaks) since I am on a school district schedule, so I can spend all day with your dog children. Feel free to message me about availability for Christmas, and/or New Years or specific school holidays. I care for pets in their owner's home and I follow whatever plan is needed. If the pet needs anything, I make sure to follow everything in detail.

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.
