“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!”
“We recently hired Mary to take care of our beloved Ralph and Louis. We couldn't be happier with the service! She is very calm, punctual and best of all we received regular updates, which gave us a piece of mind that Ralph and Louis are taken care of. We would definitely book again with Mary!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Veronica! Although this was our first time using her, she was a savior! My previous lead booked sitter canceled pretty close to an eight day out of the country vacation and I did a quick meet and greet with Veronica and I knew it was going to be amazing. And she was nothing shy of perfection! We have a very playful and loving six-year-old pitbull King. He’s an He’s a silly boy and definitely has some quirks about him but she did great with him! I came home to a very happy pup and a clean house. Veronica was great at communicating throughout the whole trip and sending pictures that melted our hearts. She even went above and beyond to make sure that a small leak in my pool didn’t get worse while I was out of the country. I appreciate the attention and love that she gave to King. You can tell that she truly loves taking care of animals and your pets will be in great hands with her!”
“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!”
“Alex was great our dog Lulu had a great time with her. She diligently said updates and responded very quickly to questions and shared lots of pictures! Our house was immaculate when we came home! We will always be using Alex from now on whenever possible! Your pets in great hands with her!”
“Gail is the best!! She took time to meet up with me beforehand to confirm all details and meet my kitty and she was very responsive, sweet and kind, and she gave my kitty a lot of love and company. My kitty is just as happy and active when I returned home. She is super responsible and even took care of my apartment for me.”
“We had an amazing experience with our Rover sitter watching our 3 kitties while we were away. She was incredibly attentive, kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, and really helped ease our anxiety about being away from home. Our cats were well cared for, and we came home to a clean and well maintained place, which we truly appreciated after traveling. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make both the animals and owners feel comfortable. We would absolutely book with her again and she will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward. Highly recommend!”
“Super impressed! Billy is blind and Maggie is recovering from a sprain. I felt like I had the dog whisperer in my house. She is so clean!! She literally pulled the sheets off the bed before she left.”
“Wafae was amazing! She cared for both my dog and cat for nearly two weeks and I came back to a clean home and happy pets. Great communication and helped me out with a last min request that I’m eternally grateful for. Thank you, Wafae!!”
“Jai pet sat for my two cats and went above and beyond! She left the house cleaner than she found it, and accommodated their early feeding times/ medications, and sent detailed updates that were very much appreciated”
“Jewel was fantastic. She not only took great care of of our doggo and house, but she was communicative and sent photo updates throughout the weekend. Definitely will be booking her again!”
“This was my 1st time leaving my dog for a long weekend and I couldn’t have chosen a better caregiver for him. My Murphy is a rescue & has some anxiety issues but Jo handled him with patience, understanding and love. She tapped in to her knowledge of dogs and put both myself & Murphy at ease. She tried a few new toys/treats with him which he loved and sent me plenty of pics and videos of Murphy throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
“First time using Rover and we blown away with the love and care that Stephanie gave to our girls! The dogs were so happy and well cared for, and so was our home. I honestly believe the home looked better when we came home, than how we left it! I highly recommend her services - we will definitely use her again!!!”

Katie was absolutely amazing! Both of my dogs loved her, but she was especially wonderful with Bella. Bella can be very scared and gets sad when we leave, so Katie was quick to make sure she was eating, gave her extra attention, and made sure she was comfortable and feeling loved. That meant so much to me and gave me such peace of mind while we were away. ❤️Great at communicating, sent lots of pictures and updates, and made sure both dogs got treats, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I would absolutely book with her again and truly can’t say enough great things about her. She went above and beyond!
Kailani house sat for me and my Labrador retriever. I highly recommend her to anyone needing the service. She provided regular check ins, left my apartment in the same condition she found it in and was great to work with! Will definitely be using her in the future when I travel out of town.
Chrissy is absolutely amazing. She stayed in our home for over two weeks and took incredible care of both our dog and our house. She treats our pup like he’s her own — full of love, patience, and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a spotless house. She is trustworthy, responsible, and truly has a gift with animals. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a caregiver who goes above and beyond.
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!
We had a wonderful experience! Kaylena followed all of Eevee’s puppy instructions perfectly—from her feeding schedule and pad training. Kaylena is reliable, respectful of our home, and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Eevee loved you! Will absolutely book again.
Emma was wonderful! She watched my two cavaliers for 12 days in my home and did a fantastic job! The girls loved her and my place was spotless when I returned home! She sent updates regularly including photos. She followed all routines and loved them like her own. 10/10 would book again! 🩷🩷
Emma was absolutely wonderful with my fur baby boxer while I was away. She responded quickly, was always on time, and was very communicative throughout my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bridget was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved spending time with her. I would definitely book with Emma again — highly recommend!
Emilee was awesome. She's super professional, and very warm and friendly and the cats were definitely pampered. She sent me several cute photos of the cats during her stay and when I got home they were so chill and the house was immaculate. I would highly recommend her.
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Niles on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,993 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Niles. 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 Niles 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 Niles 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 Niles 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.
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.
