“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! I’m Ahmed and I’m a proud dog dad to a miniature Goldendoodle named Aries. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is simple: make your pet feel safe, loved, exercised, and cared for while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Whether your pet loves walks, cuddles, playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they’re treated like family. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I structure my schedule around walks, playtime, feeding routines, and regular potty breaks. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, crate training, and house rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality and preferences. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with the same respect I would expect for my own and always leave it clean and secure.
“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!”
“Andrew did a great job with our two animals while we were on vacation for about a week. He’s taken great care while house sitting, got our mail, and cleaned our cats litter box. We can always count on and trust Andrew with our pets!”
“Vanessa was great! Panda and Krueger took to her right away and had no issues throughout. She sent a few photos too! She was super easy to work with. I’d book her again!”
“Samantha went above and beyond for our giant Newfie. She was very communicative and sent photos and offered to stay a bit longer with him the day we were flying back home. She administered medication and made sure he ate at the right times. He’s also a big mess (slobber and shedding) and I was shocked when I walked in - it was obvious she cleaned up after him which I was not expecting. She was truly amazing :)”
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a large part of who I am. I currently have 4 dogs and 4 cats all of different breeds, sizes, and personalities therefore I am comfortable caring for pets with a variety of needs. I have experience giving medication, following feeding schedules, and making sure each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. I also enjoy spending time outside and going for walks. I’m currently a full time pre-nursing student and work PRN as a switchboard operator at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop in visits, walks, overnight stays, and some last-minute bookings whenever possible. My school schedule is subject to change and being PRN shifts could pop up here and there but I am very flexible and willing to work around what ever possibly comes up. In the aspect of my school schedule I have classes mon/tue/thur/fri. Monday and Friday 11am-12:30pm, Tuesday 9:30am-2:20pm and Thursday 8am-2:20pm. Safety and comfort are a priority to me. Each animal has their own personalities and day to day activities. I would like to know what your pet likes, whether it be extra playing time, going for walks, or even extra attention to make sure they feel the most comfortable at home. I am also comfortable crating a dog if it is needed.
“We can't say enough great things about Donna and how she cares for our furry babies! She goes above and beyond. We know they are in the best of care while we are away.”
“Mary took great care of my home and 16 year old cat while I was out of town. This was my first time using Rover and I was very impressed by Mary's prompt reply to my request and she completely put me ease during the meet and greet. My cat was very well taken care of and the house was just as it was when I had left it. I highly recommend Mary and I would absolutely hire her again in the future!”
“Dylan was a lifesaver when we had another cancellation at the last minute. He was professional and great with our senior pup. We'd definitely work with him again.”
“Patrick stayed at our house for eight nights with our dog. He left the place immaculate. Our dog was excited for us to come home but not desperate, like she has been with other sitters. He was responsive with all requests and sent frequent pictures. I trust that my dog had a great time with Patrick and we'll definitely use his services in the future.”
“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!”
About: I’ve spent some time in high school training service dogs for injured war vets! I also have worked in quite a few doggy day cares! I grew up with dogs and have loved them since infancy! I’m currently working a pretty flexible job allowing me more time to ensure your loved fur babies can be properly taken care of!

“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.”
“Joanna did a fantastic job caring for our dog and cat while we were away. Lots of pictures and videos! She was very responsive to our messages when we had a momentary panic about scheduling. She reassured us all would be well and it was. Thanks Joanna!”

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!
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!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Morton Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Morton Grove on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,971 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.

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.
