Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!

Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.

We had a fantastic experience with our Denisse! She was incredibly responsive, keeping us updated daily about our dog, Brutus, and even sending photos, which gave us great peace of mind. From the start, she was a pleasure to work with, and we really appreciated that she wanted to meet us and Brutus beforehand to ensure it was a good fit. Her thoughtful approach and care were clear throughout. We will definitely book her again in the future! Highly recommend!

About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and taken care of them since I was 10. I love all kinds of dogs and would love to work with any kind that is friendly. I currently dogsit for a lovely German shepherd with many allergies. I give him medication as needed and wipe his paws after potty time. I currently go to college M-F with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my longest day. If you need to schedule anything on those days please message me and we may work out a schedule. I do not offer service in my own home due to my own animals, but I would be willing to offer sitting business on the days I am available in the owners home. I care for the animals any way that the owner requests, such as light grooming, walking, playing, and feeding.

Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

About: I grew up caring for my neighbors’ dogs whenever they were out of town, and I have continued to build hands-on experience with dogs throughout my adult life. Over the past ten years, I have cared for two high-energy pit bulls, which has strengthened my confidence handling active, strong, and playful dogs. I am friendly and comfortable with dogs of all types, and I consider myself a reliable and attentive dog walker. As an Eagle Scout, I value responsibility, trust, and treating both people and animals with respect. I have also trained my current dog, Bowie, through Kabler Dog School, and I strive to follow their best practices when caring for my own dog and any pets I work with. I am currently returning to school, which gives me a flexible weekday schedule for pet care. I have always enjoyed working with dogs and pride myself on maintaining an active lifestyle, making me a great fit for walks, playtime, and attentive care. I am available Monday through Friday for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in activity visits. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their safety, comfort, and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I respect each client’s home, routines, and boundaries, and I make sure to follow any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I take time to create a calm, secure environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners confidence and peace of mind.

Laura took such good care of my boys while we were away on a trip! I could tell my dogs were comfortable with her. She sent pictures and updates daily and I appreciate that she spent time with them; she wasn’t just coming in, taking care of their needs and then leaving again. I won’t hesitate to book her again when needed.

About: As a former alpaca and goat farmer with over 16 years of experience, I thoroughly enjoy caring for animals. Watching with wonder with each new interaction and savoring the sweet moments of all living beings brings much joy. I currently work full time as a special education instructional assistant but I am flexible in the evenings (after 4pm), on weekends and during the summer. I take pride in following through with expectations with compassion and excellence. I also enjoy taking photos and sharing documentation of your animal’s wellbeing with you.

Susan was great! She stepped in last minute despite having a full schedule, and I couldn’t have been more grateful. Over my 3-day trip, she sent thorough end-of-day updates complete with tons of photos and detailed descriptions. I never had a single worry while I was away. She also handled my animals’ various medications without a hitch, which gave me so much peace of mind. All three of my pets were happy and clearly well cared for both in the pictures and when I got home. I would absolutely book with Susan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative pet sitter!

We were so lucky to have Thomas take care of our dogs and cat while we were away. He is definitely a 10 out of 10 for us. He was name to give our cat eye ointment and syringe-fed medicine, to patiently working with one of our more challenging pups, behavioral wise. His sensitivity to animal behavior and calm, attentive approach really stood out. Thomas was also incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and plenty of pictures that gave us total peace of mind. He was flexible, reliable, and exceeded our expectations in every way. We couldn’t recommend him more highly — our pets adored him, and so did we!

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Park on Rover is $69.93 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 727 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Park. 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 Oak Park 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 Oak Park 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 Oak Park 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Park. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
