Karen was wonderful with my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. My scheduled sitter had something come up last minute and I was lucky enough to find Karen available! I came home to a very happy and well-taken care of pup!

Jamie is the BEST! My dog loves going to stay with her. She was able to accommodate some changes in our plans and took a lot of stress off. We are expecting a baby and I can’t wait to drop my pup off at Jamie’s when she needs some extra activity.

This past week, we had our first ever experience using Rover. I’ll admit, we were hesitant to have, for lack of better terms, a stranger staying in our home taking care of our two dogs. As soon as we met Robin at the meet and greet, the hesitancy fell away. She stayed in our home for four nights and the way she communicated, how she very clearly loved on our babies, and the care, attention, and commitment she showed to the job was evident from moment one. Robin sent countless photos and videos while we were away and each one only showed how much she cared. Not to mention, our boys looked as happy and as comfortable as could be. Robin spoke to us like we have been friends for ages and she immediately picked up on the quirks of our dogs while not holding it against them. When we arrived home, we were greeted with the most adorable, hilarious, and detailed report of how our boys did while we were away. We have already asked Robin to come back for our next planned trip and would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. Thank you, Robin, for going above and beyond! We can tell the boys already miss you.

All I can say (write) are words of praise and gratitude for Lisa. She is Amazing! She is so attentive, considerate and truly super sweet. I received pictures and updates. My girl (dog) fell in love with Lisa, which shows and proves how well Lisa took care of her. Lisa not only fed my girl by my noted instructions, she also washed all of my pets feeding measurement cups. that was a detail that blew me away. I didnt ask for any of that. Lisa went above and beyond. It was really cold and Lisa walked my girl and let her enjoy a little outdoors. I didnt stress on my out of town travels as my girl (dog) was in good hands. I will definitely ask for Lisa’s services again and again. Thank you Lisa for everything.

Faith did an amazing job watching our pup! She was very communicative and fast to respond if I messaged her. She texted when she left and made sure I had an update on my pup of what they did that morning and locked up our home how I instructed. I would recommend Faith to other dog parents as well! Thank you Faith for taking care of our baby!

About: I love all the animals <3 I have some free time occasionally and thought this would be nice to do for a while. I had a yorkie for 13 years. I also have 2 cats, who have turned me into a (part time) cat person, (full time) dog lover. I also have a 5 year old 100# blood hound and a 5 year old child, who also loves all the animals. I believe she’ll be a vet on day… or an artist. I have time to walk or sit. I have a large fenced in yard to play. I will not cat sit in my home only because I know how good cats are at hiding, but I am very happy to cat sit in your home. I work a part-time like schedule so have plenty of time for pet sitting/ walking. Also my work schedule varies by day and sometimes time, I update my calendar here for availability. I have a large fenced in yard to play and a trail nearby for walking. I dont mind pets all over my house and dont mind them on the couches either. I have crates available if needed.

Sarah did an amazing job with my two kitties. She was super communicative and clear on when she'd be arriving at the house and what her schedule was like. She sent tons of pictures of the cats and was super responsive when I'd text. It really helped us be less nervous on a week long vacation that we had someone responsible and nice at the house to look after the cats. I could tell by the pictures she sent that they were relaxed and happy. We will be using her again for sure! The peace of mind helped us enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies.

About: I've grown up with a yorkie (family dog). Within the last year I adopted a dog of my own. He's a black lab/australian shepherd mix who has become my best friend. He's unfortunately living with my parents for the summer which is why I'm hoping to hangout with some furry friends! As of now, I have not yet established a work schedule. I have more availability to care for pets during the day, but also willing to care for them at night depending on my schedule! I cannot care for pets at my house, but I am open to other options! I love going on walks and staying active! I would care for your furry friend the same as I would care for mine!

Natalee did a great job and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned. I mean, as "relaxed" as these two get, anyway. They seemed to enjoy their time with her very much! We felt they were perfectly safe in her care.

About: I’m experienced with all animals including reptiles. They are all babies in my eyes. I grew up with tons of animals and now have a pitbull and a kitty aswell. I’m familiar with special needs such as medication and can provide special accommodations. I currently run my own business so i am usually free to come and say hi to your baby. I’m always out walking aswell so walking pets is added fun. I always have an eye on pets i sit and walk. Any odd behavior or unsure behavior will be noted. Checkup updates will be provided as i would want someone to do the same for my baby. I will make sure leashes and collars are secure and accurate for the services.

About: My first job in high school was working at a dog day care/boarding facility! I worked there for a little over 2 years before I went to college. I learned a lot about dog behavior, grooming, and overall care for dogs. Before I was able to get a job when I was younger I would walk my neighbors’ dogs. I also grew up with Labrador Retrievers and currently my family has a 6 year old black lab named Tanner! I’m currently a college student on summer break so my availability is very open! I also work at green garden country club so occasionally I will be busy. I have always loved animals but especially dogs. I loved growing up with dogs, birds, and fish. As someone who has worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, I have hands on experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels! I love making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and lots of updates and photos so you can feel relaxed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Mokena

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Mokena on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 6,992 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mokena. 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 Mokena 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 Mokena 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 Mokena 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mokena. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
