“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!!!”
“I had a great experience with Glen as my dog sitter. He was extremely reliable and attentive, especially when it came to administering medication, including eye drops, to my dogs. Not only did he take great care of my dogs, but he also kept the house tidy. I really appreciated how he sent frequent updates and pictures of my dogs, which put my mind at ease while I was away. I would highly recommend Glen to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“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: 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.
“Mia was superb, wonderful and both of our dogs warmed up to her on the short moment of meet and greet. I was worried to leave them with a stranger; however, it worked out and felt at ease and not had to worry because Mia took care of what our dogs important needs were -feeding them 2x a day on a timely manner, walked them and kept them company too. Both were well taken care of because they were super happy when I came home. Also the living room was in order and not disarray like our big toys who likes to make a mess -dog toys weren't all over the place. I would use here again in the future ! Thank you.”
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.
“We have now used Sarah more than once for our Chihuahua who isn’t the easiest and she does an exceptional job taking care of him! Also she does a great job with communication and includes many pictures of our dog! It is wonderful to come home to a clean house as well. Thank you Sarah!!! I will definitely reach out when a dog sitter is needed again!”
“Leeann was wonderful with Mia and Pio! She came on time and cared for them as if they were her own. She sent photos through the day and communicated as requested. Both Mila and Pio were in great spirits when I came home. They took several walks and played puzzles. I’d highly recommend Lee to watch your pets!”
“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!”
“Sandra was amazing. She was very responsive with communication. Our girls were so well taken care of. Enjoyed seeing the pics she sent showing our happy girls. She left the house in perfect order. Will reach out to her again.”
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.
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.
“Jessica was terrific from start to finish. She sent me daily pictures of Millie and let me know of any changes to Millie’s habits. She left the house clean and was very conscientious about it. For me, communication and sticking to a schedule is key as Millie requires medications. She was a great sitter for our fur baby. Love to use her again.”
About: I have had a dog for most of my life. I would love to care for your dog like I care for my own dog ❤️ Currently, I work part time so I can be flexible for your dog needs. I have the summer off from work so can be available for you. I treat dogs with respect and want them to feel comfortable when I am around. I like to keep dogs active when they need it.
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. When I'm caring for your pet, they will be my only focus, and I can help with medications and whatever training you're working on with your pet family members! 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! I can walk dogs during the day or evening, and overnight house sitting with pets is right up my alley. I'll be happy to treat your pets like family. I am glad to maintain whatever routines your pet is used to, and while I'm staying at your home, I will be happy to maintain their walks, meals, snacks, medications, games, etc. I know how important trust is when inviting somebody into your home, so please feel free to share any questions you have with me.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Naperville
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!
Bonnie is amazing. My dog Liam and my cat Archie adore her. We were away for a little over 2 weeks and I never had to worry about my pets. They were in the best hands. I always got the latest updates and pics to know what was happening. It is so reassuring to be able to go away and know your pets are well cared for.
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.
Josh recently house sat our dog Lio. It's safe to say that Lio would likely abandon us to go live with Josh! Josh provided us with daily photo/video updates, demonstrating how well they were getting on. It is obvious that he loves animals! Furthermore, he was extremely neat, and left our home cleaner than we did. Leaving a note was a nice touch. We hope that Josh will help us out 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 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 8,296 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.

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.
