Darcy was amazing!! My pups warmed up to her faster than I’ve ever seen them with a new sitter. I was extremely comfortable with her watching my pups by the end of our meet and greet and would absolutely ask her to sit in the future. A big bonus to me was her willingness to spend the night with them and how she respected my house during her stay. Highly, highly recommended her!

Nicole is wonderful! It is obvious how much she loves animals. Very nice and very professional. One of our dogs is a very traumatized rescue and he let her pet him, put on His leash and take him out in the yard. FYI-our dogs are 100+ Alaskan malamutes. I will definitely have Nicole come and pet sit again. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, but started caring for my own at 14. He’s now an 82 pound bunch of love and light who loves booty scratches more than most things. I’ve fostered about 10 dogs, and foster failed on one who absolutely needed to stay in our home. And finally, a little 8 pound ball of fluff who we’ve had since 8 weeks old. I’ve certainly got a variety around here, so I can deal with most anything you throw at me! I’m currently job hunting, so my schedule is open and ready at near any time to come and see your pups. The only day that is different is Monday, in which I can only start in the early afternoon. I’m available weekends as well and some holidays. This is written with the idea I’ll have drop ins throughout a whole day. I’ll get to your home around 10 minutes before their breakfast time to check things are alright, like no messes or accidents around. If there are, I’ll clean those up then let your pet outside to use the potty before getting them some food and drink in some clean bowls. I’d come back a few hours later to do the same thing, minus breakfast, and plus some playing. Depending on the weather, we’d play an outside game like fetch or an inside game like fun tricks or wrestling. A few hours later, a similar set of activities, before finally coming for dinner, which I’d come ten minutes before for as well so dinner can be as close to on time as possible if any messes do need to be cleaned up. I’d run back one more time before bed to let them out and get them one last play in for sleep, then we are done for the day!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from the age of 11 and up. I have about 10 years of experience pet sitting, walking and training, with all different sizes of dogs, cats and even some horses! I volunteered at taps for about a year and a half. I’ve always been a big animal lover for as long as I can remember, I treat every animal as if they were my own baby’s! I currently work a part-time job so I have plenty of time throughout the day to take care of your baby’s the only times I’m not available is past 6pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. I am very clean and respectful in other peoples homes most the people I’ve pet sat or dog walked for say they wouldn’t have even noticed I was there if there wasn’t things in the trash

Rina was great with our dogs. They instantly bonded with her due to her warm and welcoming nature. She sent us frequent pictures and updates while we were away. She spent a week at our home with our dogs, which we believe they enjoyed. We will not hesitate to use her again when needed and could not recommend her highly enough.

Jolee was a great help for me and my dogs! Her communication was excellent, from the initial booking process to the day of. She kept me informed on when she'd be there and when she left. I like that she asked about what the dogs' needs were based off information in their profiles. Showed great attention to detail. My dogs are pretty low key most of the time, but I really liked that she wanted to get their toys out and be involved with them while at the house. It made me feel very at ease about being away for a day. I would definitely book with her again!

Jaci was fabulous…She’s smart, efficient, mature, attentive to detail, all with a sense of humor and obvious affection for dogs! We felt absolutely at ease leaving our dog Miley and our home in Jaci’s care and will do so again when we’re next out of town. One of the all around best dog/house sitters we’ve ever had…Thanks Jaci !!!!!

Highly Recommend Sydney! I was in a pinch with my usual dog sitter not being available last minute.. Sydney made a meet and greet happen two days before my trip and took very good care of my high energy Brittany! She stayed in my house which looked like nobody was there while I was gone! Sent me pictures and updates while I was away.. She loves dogs and is very laid-back. I will definitely look to use her services again in the future! Thank you, Sydney!!

About: I grew up on a farm taking care of all sorts of animals including my dog. I love anything from energetic runners to gentle giants. I'm working online setting my own schedule, so I can make time whenever needed! The only time I'm unavailable would be Sunday mornings. I give lots of love to pets, often choosing to sit on the floor where they can reach me. I'm very careful about watching for animals scratching where they shouldn't be.

It was clear they were well cared for and happy. We would absolutely book with Meghan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter

FAQs for House Sitting - Morton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Morton on Rover is $38.85 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 259 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morton. 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 Morton 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 Morton 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 Morton 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 Morton. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
