“Thank you for caring for Baby. It gave me such a peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much for the toy for baby, that was such a kind gesture! Would hire again”
“Patrick did a great job with our dogs. They are bigger active dogs and he handled them perfectly. Made my vacation much more enjoyable knowing my dogs were being well taken care of. Will definitely book with Patrick again.”
“Sara was fantastic! She kept in touch with me throughout my trip and sent pictures. She did everything I asked her to do. She is very friendly, a very sweet, respectful young lady. I highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Kathryn was so wonderful! She took great care of our senior cat with special needs, and our rowdy, energetic young beagle mix. She kept in touch every day, and sent lots of photos. Our house can get a little messy with my cats litter boxes, plus he's a bit incontinent. But we returned home to an immaculate house, with very happy fur babies. We're so grateful, and will definately book Kathryn again! 100%”
“Natalee did a great job and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we returned. I mean, as "relaxed" as these two get, anyway. They seemed to enjoy their time with her very much! We felt they were perfectly safe in her care.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and have experience caring for both. I have my own pet dog who is a 10 year old mixed breed. I have administered medications and am comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I am a college student and am free for the summer. Have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I like going on walks with my dog clients and am happy to offer pets and treats to your fur baby while you are away. I can provide companionship, walks, feeding and toileting for your pets. Comfortable with both dogs and cats and can assist with any special needs they may have.
About: I have experience with 2 Boston terriers of my own, as well as dog sitting for puppies and senior dogs! I am comfortable with giving medication and am able to walk the dogs every day! I have been taking care of my dogs since I was 13! I am currently in limbo, waiting for a new job and wanted to hop on here to help with furry friends! I do plan to continue working on Rover part time! I have been pet sitting by word of mouth for friends and family for about 7 years! I think it’s important that every pet family knows that they can have a caring and trustworthy individual taking care of their pets! <3 I have two dogs at home who I love very much! Ella is almost 11 and rose is my baby from COVID who is 6. So I have also dog sat for plenty of friends and family who have dogs of all ages and sizes! So, have plenty of experience with dogs!
“Alyssa was amazing! She took such good care of our Benny! She sent pictures and kept us posted. We will certainly have her come back anytime we will be gone. It was nice to be able to leave and not worry about our pet. Thank you Alyssa!”
“Crystal was so nice to work with! She took time out of her day to meet Moose and myself before watching him over the weekend. She followed instructions, asked questions when needed, and went above and beyond to ensure that Moose was safe, healthy, and happy! I would definitely rebook her for any future pet sitting needs :)”
“This past week, we had our first ever experience using Rover. I’ll admit, we were hesitant to have, for lack of better terms, a stranger staying in our home taking care of our two dogs. As soon as we met Robin at the meet and greet, the hesitancy fell away. She stayed in our home for four nights and the way she communicated, how she very clearly loved on our babies, and the care, attention, and commitment she showed to the job was evident from moment one. Robin sent countless photos and videos while we were away and each one only showed how much she cared. Not to mention, our boys looked as happy and as comfortable as could be. Robin spoke to us like we have been friends for ages and she immediately picked up on the quirks of our dogs while not holding it against them. When we arrived home, we were greeted with the most adorable, hilarious, and detailed report of how our boys did while we were away. We have already asked Robin to come back for our next planned trip and would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. Thank you, Robin, for going above and beyond! We can tell the boys already miss you.”
About: 𐂯 Meet & Greets ฅ ฅ Detailed updates with photos/videos ᵔᴥᵔ Puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs & medications I've had pets my entire life and currently have two huskies who are a big part of my life. I've also cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and I've volunteered at animal shelters, where I spent time with dogs of different ages, temperaments, and backgrounds. I know how stressful it can be to find someone you feel comfortable leaving your pet with. I’ll make each experience as easy and reassuring as possible. My goal is to eventually work with animals full-time, and Rover gives me the opportunity to do more of what I love while helping people in my community. I enjoy figuring out what makes each pet feel comfortable and loved! Adjusting to them instead of expecting them to adjust to me. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing outside, sticking to their usual routine, or simply having someone nearby, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them most comfortable and gives you peace of mind. You'll receive regular updates and photos throughout each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! ․°𓃠•°․𓃦․• My Availability ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌ ⟡ Weekday evenings (after school) ⟡ Weekends ⟡ Holidays ⟡ School breaks ⟡ Summer vacation 𓆉°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ I'm flexible, responsive, and believe in open communication, so you'll always have peace of mind while your pet is in my care! Your pet's safety is always my top priority. On walks, I stay alert to our surroundings, use secure leash handling, and tailor each walk to your pet's pace and comfort level. In your home, I'll respect your space, follow your care instructions and routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I love all the animals <3 I have some free time occasionally and thought this would be nice to do for a while. I had a yorkie for 13 years. I also have 2 cats, who have turned me into a (part time) cat person, (full time) dog lover. I also have a 5 year old 100# blood hound and a 5 year old child, who also loves all the animals. I believe she’ll be a vet on day… or an artist. I have time to walk or sit. I have a large fenced in yard to play. I will not cat sit in my home only because I know how good cats are at hiding, but I am very happy to cat sit in your home. I work a part-time like schedule so have plenty of time for pet sitting/ walking. Also my work schedule varies by day and sometimes time, I update my calendar here for availability. I have a large fenced in yard to play and a trail nearby for walking. I dont mind pets all over my house and dont mind them on the couches either. I have crates available if needed.
About: Dogs are my favorite animal! Why? Because they are loyal, caring, fun and you already know this because you own one! :) I have a shepherd mix who I love dearly. I used to volunteer at West suburban humane society, and have dealt with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I feel comfortable around dogs and have lots of experience. I treat them like a member of the family. I love all animals, so if you have cats rabbits etc I will not be bothered. I have been around dogs since childhood and working with dogs is a dream of mine. If your dog needs medicine I have experience with that as well. I am extra gentle with senior dogs and can keep up with puppies I have a flexible schedule so I can work with your schedule. We can discuss your pets needs so I can accommodate your schedule easily. I follow owner instructions precisely and ask questions if anything seems unclear. Pet safety is always my number one priority. If I think a pet may not be safe for anyone I always reach out to the owner.
“Tara is fabulous with my cat. I appreciated how much time and energy she spent playing with Jim Catsby. She sent me awesome photos and a video of their time together. Tara really cares about Jim, and leaving him happy. I’m grateful for her passion for pets and their care. She is motivated to give our pets the best experience possible.”
About: Hi, I’m Chanty. I’m based in Oak Forest and love spending time outdoors with dogs. I had a Yorkie for 15 years, so I’ve cared for dogs through all stages of life. I’ve also helped care for pit bulls, rescued young pups, and regularly look after my sister’s Maltese. I treat animals like family. I care for them with the same love and attention I’d give my own, playing and interacting with them based on their needs and energy, while also keeping up with routines, cleanliness, and any special needs they may have. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, so I am happy to meet you and your pup beforehand. I also make it a point to keep you updated during visits with photos, messages, and anything else that would help you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I get around by bike and offer nearby walks and drop-ins full of play, love and personalized care. Whether your pup needs adventure, calm companionship, or even just a bath, I’d love to help out! Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work freelance online and create my own schedule. I’m very flexible and can adapt week to week to meet your needs, whether you need a regular walker or occasional drop-ins! When I’m in someone else’s home or caring for their pet, I treat it all with the same respect I treat my own. You can trust that I will follow whatever routines or instructions you give me, and I always leave things clean and as I found them. I try to really tune into each animal’s mood and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Orland Park is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orland Park
Mia was a great Rover sitter! She followed all of my instructions and took really good care of my dogs. I have one senior dog, and she was especially great with her. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day, so I knew they were in good hands. I would definitely use Mia again!
Jennifer has babysat twice for our 2 tiny Yorkies. We have a rather strict schedule for them and Jennifer followed everything exactly. She is an outstanding babysitter. In addition she is a very kind and caring person. I would highly recommend her and hope she will babysit for us for a long time. I would like to add that when we have been away, we are able to completely relax and not worry.
Crystal was so nice to work with! She took time out of her day to meet Moose and myself before watching him over the weekend. She followed instructions, asked questions when needed, and went above and beyond to ensure that Moose was safe, healthy, and happy! I would definitely rebook her for any future pet sitting needs :)
This was the first time we used a pet sitter and we found Katelyn. Shes amazing with our senior diva Stella. What a wonderful experience for us. Katelyn took great care of Stella and she made sure Stella comfortable staying in our home. It was important that at 11 years young we didn’t want to board her. Katelyn sent us pictures and updates even though we were on a cruise. I gave Katelyn all stars she deserved then as Stella can be picky with warming up.
Spectacular sitter. Available on short notice, very flexible and accommodating. My wife and I felt very comfortable trusting our home and our pets to Maria's care and encourage you to do the same. We came home to a clean house, happy animals, and Maria even did our dishes! Above and beyond, stop your search and book Maria if she's available.

FAQs for House Sitting - Orland Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Orland Park on Rover is $55.5 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 8,084 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Orland 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 Orland 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 Orland 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 Orland 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 Orland Park. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
