“Andrew did a great job with my pooches. I think they didn’t even miss me after three days being gone. He was very quick to respond and was great with the communication. The dogs instantly took to him when they met him. Would definitely use his services again.”
“Rosy and Josh were excellent house sitters. They were great communicators with frequent updates on how Izzy was doing. They definitely gave her lots of love and attention while we were out of town. We could tell when we got back home that she was very comfortable with them and had a good time. We will definitely be asking them to house sit again for us. Thanks!”
“Samantha was recommended to me by her roommate, my dog's regular sitter. She was booked and referred me to Samantha. Samantha is a true professional. Not only she gave me updates and my geriatric dog, Rico Suave, the royal treatment. She also gave me peace of mind. I came back to a very happy dog that I don't think really knew I was gone due to all the special care he received. I will definitely book with her again if my regular sitter is not available.”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job taking care of my anxious dog Churro! My house was spotless when I got home and she sent regular photos and updates, and handled his medication schedule too. He was happy and well cared for all week. Churro and I look forward to working with Tiffany again!”
“Great experience with Alex! Communicative and flexible when booking, thoughtful and accommodating to my pup’s needs, and her warm and caring spirit quickly put both my anxious dog and I at ease ☺️”
About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!
“Keeley took such great care of Finn and really helped ease my worries about leaving him alone for the weekend. We actually got home a little early and had the chance to spend some time chatting with her before she left, which was so nice. Finn absolutely adored her and was genuinely sad to see her go. We would definitely trust her with him again!”
“This is the second time Sarah has pet sat for us, and both times she took great care of our dog and our cat, and left our house immaculate. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Mary was amazing -We received pics and updates and knew the dogs were okay each day we were gone. She was very patient with our timid shy boy and puppy . We will definitely try and book her again if she will have us :)”
“Hannah stayed at our house for 10 days with our two dogs while we were on vacation. Her schedule was flexible, and she was able to let the dogs out frequently, play with them often, and take them on walks. I really appreciated this, since they are used to us working from home. She was also able to follow my detailed instructions (one dog is an older puppy). I would have appreciated more frequent communication and photos, especially since we were gone for so long, but she answered my messages right away.”
About: As the proud owner of 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or a calm and caring companion while you're away, I'll provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own pets every day. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner to 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, I am used to providing regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention every day. During the school year, I am available before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. During school breaks, holidays, and summer, I have much more flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am organized, reliable, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent care and companionship while their owners are away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, individualized care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and household rules. As a pet owner of 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your furry family members. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while ensuring pets are always supervised and secure. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident and connected while they're away. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Dylan was a wonderful sitter! He was very accommodating to my last minute plans and was able to come to my house to sit my dog Sabu. I think Sabu really enjoyed his time with him and I would recommend him to any pet parent!”
“Iwona took great care of my senior Mellie, who is a high anxiety dog dealing with appetite and digestive issues. Iwona was super responsive, caring, and helpful, and Mellie warmed up to her quickly. I will be booking with her again!”
“Donna and Stephen were amazing with our special pups. We even wrote a 3 page care guide and they followed every step! Even with our pups both being leash reactive and one having seizures/anxiety, they truly cared for them as if they were their own. During our first getaway after the pandemic, we were very nervous to leave them, but it could not have gone better. We will 100% request their services again for our next trip. I highly recommend them!”
“Nicholas is hands‑down the best dog sitter my wife and I have ever had on Rover. Truly exceptional. He isn’t just dependable and courteous — he treats our dog with a level of care, enthusiasm, and commitment that blew us away. Our dog has literally walked farther with Nicholas than with anyone else. His average walks were over two hours, and he kept our pup happy, stimulated, and joyfully exhausted every single time. We were amazed by his dedication. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and our dog absolutely adored him. I honestly can’t put into words how incredible Nicholas was. Thank you, Nicholas — you set the bar unbelievably high.”
“Anana took wonderful care of my dogs. Communication between us was excellent and my dogs were clearly taken excellent care of while I was away She also left my house in perfect condition. Highly recommend.”
“Renee is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and knowledgeable when it comes to pet care. She takes the time to learn your pet, and applies her experience to help them thrive while you’re away. She was consistent with communication at every step as well, and incredibly trustworthy. My pup warmed up to her right away!”
“Jiyai is amazing !! So thoughtful and lovely with my cats. I have always been hesitant to leave my furbabies with anyone but Jiyai is so kind and warm. My cats loved spending time with her and I would highly suggest utilizing Jiyai’s care for your furbabies. Jiyai was always on time, sent me pictures, and updated me twice a day while I was on my trip. Thank you Jiyai for the love and support you extended.”

Emily is terrific! She is a true animal lover and pays close attention to my dog, making her feel comfortable and happy. Emily also took great care of our plants and house while we were on vacation. I highly recommend her. She will be your pet’s next best friend!
Rosy and Josh were excellent house sitters. They were great communicators with frequent updates on how Izzy was doing. They definitely gave her lots of love and attention while we were out of town.

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!
Christina did a great job taking care of Cubby while we were away for a weekend. She kept us updated with photos and updates of feeding and bathroom breaks. She has also been doing excellent work with drop-ins during the week. We highly recommend Christina and we’ll continue our partnership with her as long as we can!
As the owner of 3 dogs, Andrew is very knowledgeable about dogs. He immediately connected with our dog right when he walked in the door. Andrew took her outside and to the basement to get exercise and have some play time. He did a great job! I’d recommend him to any dog-owner for pet sitting.

FAQs for House Sitting - Morton Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Morton Grove on Rover is $61.05 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 8,123 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morton Grove. 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 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 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.

- 96% 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.
