“Katelyn was wonderful! She took excellent care of my pup, sent me regular updates and photos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was left in great condition. She was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”
“Han did a wonderful job! So happy we found them! Our furry family was well taken care of, and so was our home. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!”
“Samantha not only cared for our 1 year-old German Shepherd mix but also our 4 cats. My biggest concern was Tanner getting enough exercise so as not to be destructive. Samantha made sure of that and it was clear to me when we returned that he had a wonderful time with her! Everyone was cared for perfectly and I would HIGHLY recommend Samantha. Not only did she care for my pets but when we returned, the house was in perfect order. She is a GEM!!”
“The dogs were well taken care of. Mary sent lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. It was obvious she genuinely cares about their well being. We would absolutely hire her again.”
“Coty is an amazing dog sitter! She is not only knowledgeable and professional, but also went above and beyond in bonding with and caring for our dogs. They are large, needy, energetic, and high maintenance but Coty didn’t miss a beat! She gave them their medications, supplements, and even did rehab exercise with the puppy! She even cared for our home! It was cleaner when we got home than when we left! She sent us regular updates and I had no concerns at all. It was as if she was part of the family! To top it off, when our plane was delayed and we had to stay another day, she put our dogs ahead of her own needs and stayed an additional night! Thank you, Coty!”
About: A true dog lover will take care of your fur baby and your home while you are away. I believe every dog deserves a vacation while their parents are away. When house sitting, my formula is simple: unlimited belly rubs for your pup and absolute respect for your space. I’m available to take care of your dog(s) and your house over night during the week, all day on Saturday and Sunday and during all major holidays and school breaks. I take care of dogs in client’s home, I take dogs for long walks and give them plenty of love and attention. Lots of playtime too.
“Alanoud came to our house to help one busy evening for a few hours. It happened to be pouring rain, but she took care of our big, rambunctious pup in good cheer nonetheless. I'm feeling quite confident about having her stay at our home for a few days while we attend a wedding out of town later this month.”
“Renee was great with our dog Winnie! She sent lots of photos, updates and was flexible on the timing of our sit. Winnie has some anxiety that Renee managed with patience and understanding. We will definitely have Renee sit for us again!”
“It was my first time leaving Roxie home with a pet sitter and Brynn really took the time and energy to make sure she had all the information possible. She really put me at ease and it allowed me to really enjoy my trip. She kept me updated multiple times a day with frame worthy photos. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my senior!”

“Joanna was great. She obviously loves cats and knows a ton about them, which made me very comfortable leaving her in charge of my 2 guys. She sent me updates including video clips of her engaging and playing with the boys every day. Would definitely rebook”
“Dana did an incredible job staying with our two doodles & watching our house while we were away for one week! She effortlessly picked up on our dogs' different personalities & needs, was a clear communicator throughout the stay, and left our house in impeccable shape. We couldn't recommend her highly enough!”
“Would give 10 stars if we could!! Gem did an amazing job connecting with our dog. She is very communicative, sent the cutest pictures of our baby, and clearly has a great love for pets. We’re so glad to have found her and will happily continue trusting her with our dog <3”
“Joey did such a wonderful job watching our Sherlock! We were a bit nervous since we recently adopted him and he sometimes has some behavioral issues as he adjusts to his new environment. However, he was left in such calm and capable hands with Joey- he did such a good job walking/running him a lot and sounds like all went very well. Based on our convos before, Joey seemed to really “get it” and the needs of a dog still adjusting. We also loved receiving a ton of videos and updates!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morton Grove
We had a great experience with Jiayi! She was incredibly communicative, respectful, and thoughtful throughout her stay. She kept us updated and was very easy to coordinate with. We really appreciated how responsive and responsible she was, and we’d be happy to have her sit for us again!
Vanessa was wonderful with our dog, Murphy! She took great care of Murphy over a long weekend and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. Murphy seemed happy and well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated how responsible and attentive Vanessa was and would definitely use her again. Highly recommend!
I am sorry I waited a week before leaving this review; it took me a week to settle back into my life and to observe my dog, Clyde, after I had left him in the care of another sitter and Nicholas for four days each. My primary goal in booking through Rover was to ensure the care of Clyde. I am very pleased with Clyde's condition and energy in the week I have been home. As his care was split between two sitters, I would have to say that both gave him the attention and care that he needed. My other goal was the care of my house which, I believe, was also excellent. Highest marks to Marny and to my other sitter.
Abby was great with Cubby when we were away for the weekend. We have a distinct dog and home routine, and she followed the routine very well. She was great in updating us with feeding and potty updates. She communicated with us in a timely manner and showed up on time. Her genuine care for Cubby showed through her work. We appreciated Abby's patience when there was an unexpected change in schedule and she managed the change with grace. We came home to a happy dog, and although I'm sure he missed us, it also showed he was well taken care of when we were away. We highly recommend Abby to care for your pets and look forward to having her care for Cubby when the opportunity comes again.
Sade was a great sitter for our dog and cat! We felt at ease the whole time we were away. Sade sent daily photos and updates and was easy to communicate with. We came home to happy pets and a very clean apartment. We’d definitely have Sade sit for our dog and cat again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Morton Grove is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $83 per night.

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 Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove 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.
