“Amanda was extremely conscientious and caring while pet sitting our Golden, Addie!! She sent multiple pictures and updated us in our absence! We knew how much she enjoyed every moment with our dog. Thank you, Amanda!!!”
About: My parents have a farm with three big dogs and many small ones, I’ve taken care of them many times over the years. I have neighbors and friends reaching out to care for their furry friends while they are out of town. I promise to give your loved furry one the love they would expect on a day to day basis I work from home so if I need to spend the day with your pet I can be there for them as I work! Outside of work hours I can give long walks and tons of play time. If you pet needs extra attention I can provide lots of head pets or give them space if they like to spend their time alone.
“Bonnie took great care of our girls while we were gone and provided updates and pics for us daily. Her communication was great and we would highly recommend her if anyone is in need of a dog sitter! Thanks so much Bonnie!”
“Nancy did a great job watching our dog Atticus! He normally gets very sad when we’re gone, but Nancy made sure he got enough love and attention and he was happy and relaxed. Atticus loved Nancy and even went into the room she stayed in a few times to check if she was still there. She sent frequent updates on his mood, whether he ate, and what they were up to, including sending pictures. We will definitely hire Nancy again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and thanks to Ashley, it was a great one! The initial meeting went well, even my most particular puppy warmed up to her. She communicated very well, provided pictures, and asked for clarification when needed. She left our house in perfect condition and the puppies were happy and satisfied as well.”
About: As a dedicated cat owner, I know that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I have experience caring for kittens, adult cats, and more timid or anxious cats, and I’m comfortable with feeding, medications (if needed), litter box maintenance, enrichment, and giving pets the patience they deserve. I’ll make sure your cat feels safe and cared for while keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits throughout the week. I understand that cats thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of updates while you’re away. Your cat’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. During each visit, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, make sure food and water are fresh, clean the litter box, and spend quality time playing or simply keeping your cat company (whatever they enjoy most.) I’ll also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health and send detailed updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, starting when my mom and I rescued a Corgi when I was ten years old. In College, I adopted a German/ Sheppard Pit Bull Mix named ACE and he taught me a lot about taking care of animals on my own and growing as a human being. Not just walks, but attention, exercise, discipline, and sacrifice 24/7. I am a genuine, reliable person that has a lot of free time as a hockey broadcaster in my summers and I want to help you take care of your dog in a loving, reliable, and most importantly flexible way for you or your family. I live in Naperville, IL and willing to accommodate close to 10 miles:) I Only work weekends, so I can work through the week! Sundays are also a good day for me too usually, I am a sports broadcaster so I have weird hours haha but free a lot in the summer :) Big walking guy, with trails and local suburb paths for us. Water is always out, and toys and calm music if need be. Treats and fun always.
About: I’ve taken care of my friends dogs before and I have two dogs of my own that I watch when my parents are out of town as well as our cat too. I have a way that animals always love em even if they aren’t big with other people. I am currently a full time college student with only one in person class. Classes end latter this month. I always work part time in retail and umpire baseball games on the weekends. I’m typically at my retail job for about 4 hours and I umpire weekends for about 6 hours I have a fenced in yard and my dogs love to run around out there. I also love to take my dogs on walks when i can. I also have a cat that I try to take out when the weather is nice and let him roam in the sun.
“Sarah took such great care of my boys while I was away for a long weekend. She checked in with great updates and pictures and followed their routine. I came home to happy pups (and a spotless house!). I will definitely use Sarah for future in-home sitting.”
“I can't recommend Jed highly enough! He truly saved the day by accepting my booking at the very last minute. He was incredibly accommodating, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, Mazi adored him. I will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Maggie was sweet and attentive with our pup! She took the time to come in for a meet and greet super last minute which we truly appreciated. She also made sure to ask all the questions about his care which made us feel more at peace about leaving our puppy with her. She played with him and fed him on schedule. We will be definitely rebooking for future visits!”
“We absolutely loved having Sandra as a sitter for our two dogs! She updated us a lot throughout the stay with written updates along with tons of pictures so we were never worried and loved knowing our dogs were in good hands and having a great. It was especially nice with our elderly dog who were anxious to leave and needs special care.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Jackson provided for our dog, Ella, while we were away. He sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear from the pictures that Ella was happy and comfortable in his care. Ella had a dry nose issue that required daily attention with a special cream, and when we returned, her nose was almost completely healed — a true sign of how attentive Jackson was. On top of caring for Ella, he also took great care of our home, which we found clean and spotless upon our return. It’s clear Jackson genuinely cared about our dog and we felt completely confident leaving Ella in his hands. We would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”
About: I've been so tremendously lucky to have several dogs come into my family over the years become my everything. No two a like in the slightest: mixed breeds from small to large, gentle and slow to rough and tumble. Each one through their own ways thought me just how important it is to understand the uniqueness in an animal, love it completely and care specifically for their individual needs. I am very flexible with my personal schedule and love to use my time to make sure your baby is well cared for when you need it most! My care service runs by a simple idea, I'm not just here for a single task I'm here to be your pets personal concierge. From the moment I walk in the door and not until well after I leave, my Job is to make sure your loved one is taken care of, safe, and of course happy as can be.
“I will start this review by saying I am a very over protective/hover dog mom and I am extremely picky with who I trust to watch my pup. That said, Anaise was an amazing sitter! During our meet and greet she was super comfortable with my dog, Cleo, who is a heavy bully breed and very energetic. Her love for dogs is apparent, and she kept me updated throughout her entire stay. She sent text messages updating me on how she was doing, how her walks went, and even sent me photos throughout the weekend. I would recommend Anaise to anyone and I will definitely be reaching back out to her when we need a sitter again! Thank you Anaise!”

About: I've been a pet owner (dogs and cats) for more than 20 years. My current dogs are both rescues and each comes with their own unique personality, so I'm open to the quirks of lots of different pets.

I'm newly retired, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pets! Just let me know what you are looking for and we'll make it work!

Maggie was sweet and attentive with our pup! She took the time to come in for a meet and greet super last minute which we truly appreciated. She also made sure to ask all the questions about his care which made us feel more at peace about leaving our puppy with her. She played with him and fed him on schedule. We will be definitely rebooking for future visits!
Alex was very loved at our house with 3 cats. He was on time & very responsive. We got photo updates everyday. He left my house clean and washed the pet bowls so they were ready to use the night we got back. Very thankful for Alex. We will absolutely use him for our future trips!
It was my first time using any services for my newly adopted shelter dog. Sydney came through in a pinch when I really needed a house/dogsitter. She didn't flinch when meeting my high energy, excited reactive Malinois mix. He loved her right away. She followed all of our strange instructions and updated me throughout her stay. I didn't know what to expect, but was very happy with the care she gave Rebel. For newbies, I suggest discussing exactly what you expect in the way of communication. I will tailor my expectations in future bookings and would be happy to use Sydney again.
Liz is great with Dottie. She communicates well through the day, brought in my amazon package, kept the house how she left it, and most importantly cared for Dottie. I got pictures of them lounging on the couch while Dottie got belly rubs, and she also took her for a walk. I would recommend Liz!
Jing is an excellent house sitter. She watched my two dogs while I was overseas for the Holiday break. She provided multiple photos throughout each day and even cleared snow on the back deck and steps so my senior dog could make it back easier to the door. She was very attentive to their needs and compassionate. I would definitely recommend Jing!! Thank you Jing 🤙
Highly recommend Marianne for your pet care and needs! She did such a wonderful job with my 2 large dogs and house sitting while I was gone for a night. She kept me updated throughout the day, sent pics, and took them for a few walks in the cold weather! Thank you, Marianne!

FAQs for House Sitting - Naperville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Naperville on Rover is $49.95 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 8,109 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Naperville. 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 Naperville 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 Naperville 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 Naperville 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
